Mediterranean Cessna 172p air race !

Postby TheEagle » Sat May 01, 2021 6:52 pm

Who would like to participate in an air race over the street of Gibraltar on mpserver01 ?
We depart from Tanger airport (ICAO GMTT) runway 07 the 06.05.2021 at 05:05 pm CEST (note the fives ! :wink:). The end point of the race is Gibraltar airport (ICAO: LXGB) runway 09. We cross the street of Gibraltar heading to the north-east (hdg ~45 (another five !)), then follow the spain coast right over the beaches, until we get onto the extended centerline of the runway, to finally, of course :lol:, line up with and land on it !
The winner of this air race will be the first to reach the end of runway 09 at LXGB. And remember : only Cessna 172p's (7 - 2 = 5) are allowed !
Charts can be found here. Here map with the route painted in red (click to get a bigger version):

Any suggestions for route points that should be added because of visual attractivity are welcome !
And last but not least, please post your parking position here so that we won't spawn in on top of each other.
(And don't forget to switch the "Enable collisions" option in the Multiplayer settings on ! Else, the planes would be able to go through each other upon overtake !)
Oh, I almost forgot : If someone has time and courage to sit in the Gibraltar tower, and give us some headings, that would be great !

EDIT:
I really forgot the most important: the weather settings ! benih notified me of that, else, someone might cheat and get himself some tailwind :roll:. So : all use Real World Weather !

I would - but i'm already scheduled for the back flight of Berlin: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=39025&start=90

[edit] Also you should make exact constraints for the used insim-time and weather, so no one is flying with tailwind :)

Oh , thanks, I never thought about tailwind !
I changed the date - it's one day later, so that I can join in to the Berlin flyback.

you cannot... this is not twitter, facebook, or similar... either you have to send them a PM/DM or they have to be sure to read the messages...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Exactly, damage enabled, Complex engine procedures and failures too, real world weather and time. Thanks for the SkyVector route !
And yes, the time is still current, 5:05pm CEST (that would be 3:05 UTC, if I calculated right).
I hope someone found the time to sit in the Gibraltar tower ! :)
