Matt_Smith 1116 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Am I mad? Certfied All Im letting slip on this one at the moment is, pack your thermals its going to get cold. It will also take up a different format too. More soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Oh yes... mad as a hatter... I guess Antarctica is on the list there Matt... You want me to get involved - or will you do it all yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Ole, Yes, was it that obvious? Lol. And of course yes, your help and assistance is always most welcome. How was you and your families Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 So Ole, what do you think to a RWTC that works similar to the WRC? My early invisages being the contestants pic an airline to flythem to various locations round the world, once there they have a predeterminded aircraft type to fly x number of stages/challenges ending up at a large airport ready to fly to the next destination ready for the next round.

OleAndreasen 88 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I swear Matt, I have been thinking the exact same idea. I didnt think of the WRC similarity though, but that the RTWC 2 didnt need to be A to B to C to D.... but could be broken into segments, not attached... This opens op to ideas to go places not possible if it had to be a consecutive thing... I love the idea.. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Awesome, now that hard work starts What do you think to 10 - 15 ish stages at each destination? Just like the WRC they are timed lowest over all time wins Do that say 10 maybe 12 locations round the world,obtaining the contestants overall times, the lowest wins. But then we add a curved ball to the equation. We also enclude timings for the flights between destinations. OK contestant x may choose a faster plane than contendant y. Not a problem we take that into account by complexity, ie we reward users of aircraft that require more hands on flying by the award of additional points. Now I don t have a clue how that works, but I guess we could make it work. Off the top of my head if someone was mad enough to use the Catalina or the likes with only its Sperry autopilot they would get say 20 points, an early era jet Comet or 727 or the likes 10 points. THose points then count to a discount off their times. Then those aircraft that can fly the intire flight and autoland get no points added. Thus ecouraging proper aviating? For he individual stages at each destination, I propose we offter 2 planes to complete in. So we get like a group A and group N, so overall we end up with two winners. Hopefully that will also give us more entrants too? As you correctly predicted, one destination so far is Antarctica, which in its self is a planning nightmare But also making the short list thus far, New Zealand, Australia and Russia. I think all places we didnt visit in RTWC 1. Thoughs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ok first major re-design. It will still take on the WRC style of things. BUT, being as 2012 is the year of the London Olympics, it would be daft not to take advantage of this. So now we shall use Cities that have hosted the Olympic games as hubs for our adventures. More to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 LOL - OK, you have several to choose from, and some great locations for hubs. Nice idea. I would never have thought of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I wish I could say it was a flash of sheer genius, but it wasn't, it came to me in the shower lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 A new idea, but kind of limits people a bit too much.... Making it Accusim or COTS only and scoring on number of engines replaced and or passenger rating after each flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleAndreasen 88 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Cool enough Matt, but as you say, it will limit the not-too-big attendance bad, I am afraid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
