That time should be beaten fast smile I think a quick way for not-so-competitive races would be to put at the final gate a comparison - if time less than X:Y minutes:seconds, player is congratulated with "great! you finished under X:Y" otherwise encouraged "you can do better" etc.

Last one to the mustard factory is a ninny!

Should Meaux have fields of mustard flowers I looked for (texture artist info maybe) and found a nice war story Smile2

Quote:
In a village named Penchard there was some very sharp fighting, and some of our artillery were posted hereabouts. Presently a German aeroplane came overhead circling round in reconnaissance. But it was out for more than that. Suddenly it began to drop bombs, and whether by design or otherwise — they have no manners, these fellows — they exploded in the middle of a field hospital. One of my friends, a young doctor, was wounded in the left arm by a bullet from one of these bombs, though I don't know what other casualties there were. But the inevitable happened. Shortly after the disappearance of the aeroplane the German shells searched the position, and found it with unpleasant accuracy. It is always the same. The German aeroplanes are really wonderful in the way they search out the positions of our guns. We always know that within half an hour of an observation by aeroplane the shells will begin to fall above the gunners unless they have altered their position. It was so in this fighting round Meaux yesterday.

Hmm two-seater, observer in the back, click on a spot below correctly: artillery barrage opens up on it "the way they search out the positions of our guns" challenge

Nice work soda!

Had another go.

This time again with no ammo, and only 16% fuel (competition settings - subtitles and warm engine on, all else off). After i passed the last gate, i made one loop and the engine stopped smile So the fuel limit is around that time, i got lucky it seems.

Just wanted to say thanks Soda for the time you put into this race. Very fun! I only had the chance to fly it about 4 times and have yet to complete the course. The series of 3 bridges has proved difficult for me, but I'm confident I'll find the correct line soon.

You too, Laser for your "training" mission. Neat stuff. The last gate through the stacks was great!

I've got to get a MP conversion setup for this. The thought of 4 (or more!) aircraft trying to squeeze through the same section of bridge is way cool. Gotta find some larger obstacles too. A race like this down city streets would be killer. Perhaps even incorporate a shooting objective, so carrying ammo is necessary.

The reason Laser got such a good time is that I helped out by enlarging the holes underneath the bridges by cleverly impacting them.

Here's a 4-player MP conversion (All n28, but you can easily change the type in the editor). Only tested w/ 2 players at this point, but the concept works OK so far. There are all kinds of things that can be done to change it up. Interesting how the reverse course will cause the leader to fly head-ons with the laggers.

I'm thinking about setting up a figure 8, just to increase the collision potential. Enjoy!

Gustang that was a blast last night testing the two player version. But I think the link is bad.

EDIT: Now it's working, thanks Tim.
