Summer Race Event 2016 - Vietnam Jets

I can't imagine what it could be. I have that scenery package, and didn't have that problem at any of the airports. Maybe the F-11 has a smaller crash-box? Maybe I just landed off to one side? I don't know...

I left it turned off and it did it again in a late night test flight (VVNT to VVTS) in the Virtavia F4D Skyray.

I left it turned off and it did it again in a late night test flight (VVNT to VVTS) in the Virtavia F4D Skyray with all the extra stuff running in the background turned off. Got a few ideas to try this morning

Well, it seems that my FSX install apparently has the Saigon area as a "no fly zone". I've tried various aircraft both with and without add on scenery and when I start getting near Saigon, it crashes to desktop. It does the same if I start a flight there. A this point, I just can't finish the race. So, I'm gonna hop in my whatchachopper and just fly around for the rest of the event while avoiding Saigon.

That's really strange Willy. I've been trying to duplicate this, but no luck yet.

[Willy]

I'm thinking it's likely a FSX SE thing. Either that or the anti aircraft gunners have gotten really really good.

Looks like just a couple of more days to finish up the event!

[Craig Taylor]

I think I'm finished (all boxes green on my race page) but no checkered flag. Did I enter something wrong?

The man will come along shortly with a chequered flag sticker. You will look at it and go 'Yay!'

[Craig Taylor]

Thanks Ron! And let me congratulate you on a great race!

Ah, a good ol' cynic.

Now if that was Woodbridge, Suffolk, I'd take you up on that.

Wow spokes2112! look at all the chickens, hehe. Paul, a great event and even with the problems I was having with the C-130, and a very enjoyable one! Must admit most of the time I tried to fly by the numbers, training you know. lol

Dang! I thought I had the piston class nailed.

Well done all. Worthy winners.

Probably unnecessary, but good to do...

Thanks to Paul for developing, organizing, and running such a terrific event.
