Thanks Lesbof

Now with a fixed VW, my competitors stand no chance

[legoboyvdlp]

Don't think i can come anyway as a matter of fact.
Sorry, maybe next year!

I don't know about 'fixed' but at least it's more likely stay on the ground at 70 knots, it's pretty close to your garden variety 45~50 h.p. Volkswagen sedan, it will have some the bad handling qualities like the chance it might roll over if cornered way too aggressively.

@ Lego OK , It's a shame you'll miss this, but you could run it by yourself earlier with my officiating if it's a time issue.

Screamshots..

[legoboyvdlp]

Screamshots?!
Nice!
Nope, sorry, I'll be busy that evening (no computer access).
Please, don't change date or anything; I don't mind TOO much, although I love flying with yall!

OK I've established that the entire course is little over 80 N-miles in length. ( stunning even to my reckoning...) and that a base speed of about 30 knots gets you around the course in a little under 3 hours.

Which is entirely wrong... It's 44 and some odd N-miles in length for the course I've planned. I'm sorry, I must have had an additional trip under that GPS reading..( It did seem way too long to me, but didn't register. )

So yeah this is going to less mileage, should be easier to finish. I'm still keeping the 30 knot mean speed, the roads are still easy to run off of even with headlights. Hope you all get some time to practice before the event.

I have a bit of Groundnet code for the route it's will replace the one that comes with Marc's scenery and will give you better locations to start from a game crash.

Note: Guthries and Kate's Cottage are going to be problematic as restart points, so if you crash or game crash on the Snaefel Mountain part of the route. respawn at Bungalow.

I'm not going to be able to make a good revision of my Halloween scenery that meshes well with Marc's scenery. Sorry kids, Uncle Lester is a bit frazzled from all the other work.

Hope to see you tomorrow at Isle of Man.

Thanks Lester
