Hi guys. Great event really looking forward to it.
I'd like a clarification on the Cotes d'Ivoire.
One of the West African Airports (Golden Age Fuel Stops) is DIAP – Abidjan and Bingerville, Côte d'Ivoire [France]
Yet a little further on in the "Special Features for 2012" it states

The ongoing violence stemming from the 11-year civil war in Côte d'Ivoire puts that country out of the race.

Am i missing something here or is this an anomaly? Can we land at DIAP and refuel?

Thanks in advance

Harv

In Golden Age aircraft which is set in 1938, yes. In Modern GA which is today, no.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Willy

Help me rinse my brain ....


Does Flight time + Bonus time - Penalty time = Race time as used to measure against Reference time at the end of the race?

[Moses03]

Flight time only.

Confirmation of Reference Time for Flight-1 PC-12 requested.

The tracking workbook shows reference time of: 33:12:00

The Cape to Cape rules list the reference time as:

Pilatus PC-12 (FS9 & FSX?)

Flight One

35.1

Yeah Jeff .... same question ... different Bird.


Lockheed Vega 56.1 [Rules] vs 52.36 [Worksheet]

I'll check these when I get home today. I got the reference times from our "work in progress" data sheet, and not the final rules release, so that may be the issue. Or I just screwed up...

[Craig Taylor]

Ditto on the MAAM-Sim Gooney Bird, please. Thanks for doing the tracker!

Just got a scolding from Miss Nellie. This is what she told me:

"The Reference Race is meant to be scored as Race Time minus Reference Time. Penalties and bonuses do count. In Modern Era, we did switch to Flight Time minus Declared Time for the Precision Race"

[salt_air]

Thanks Moses! ... I've been spending way too much time in front of Miss Nellie.


Time to get out of the limelight for a while ....

Dang, I got most of the reference times wrong, including mine. Looks like I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue... I think they're ok now. Do you like gladiator movies?

ROFL!

Looks good to me.

At least if I am comput'nm them numbers wrong, then you're comput'nm wrong exactly the same way.
