Thank you ! :thumbup:

Negative. Seems that there was another mistake in the Russian translation. Thank you for pointing it out. The submission period ends for all participants on 7 Nov 2009 24:00 local German time. Why should there be a different time for the Russian participants ? Strange that nobody noticed this before. I apology for not having checked the dates myself before, but I can't read cyrillic, so I missed this one. I'm sorry. Please sent in your track files until midnight .

give 30 min for uploading a 450 MB archive. I'll sent you a PM.

Good point. IMHO the problem of cheating in no way is related to the question to what extent the missiles and radar physical models are 'real', 'close to real' or 'arcade'. In fact, all realistic or unrealistic physical models are the same for all players. And by that, it's a fair game. Cheating is a totally different thing. By cheating, somebody tries to benefit from certain advantages that only he himself has access to (by using extra equipment or manipulated games files), and that is not a fair game anymore.

Negative sir. Please stop twisting rules: "- You may choose any landing / take off direction and any altitude setting." That clearly refers to a runway. Tarmac / taxiways don't have a landing / take off direction.

Please read the ReadMe that came with the qualification mission file: "For the qualification, you need to know the following rules: - Save the .mis file to the mission folder of your Lock-On installation - When you run it, record your flight as a track file - Your task is: Take off from SAKI airbase and turn east towards the given waypoint. The waypoint is just for navigation, you don't need to overfly it. Do a touch & go at GVARDESKOYE airbase with the gear down, and return to SAKI airbase for a full stop. - You have do a valid touch & go, so the tires have to touch the runway (you clearly can hear it), just a low level overflight is not considered as a valid touch & go. - You may choose any landing / take off direction and any altitude setting. - You may change the internal / external fuel load as required. - The gear must not stay lowered during the flight ! - The mission file is classified, do not change any settings (wind, temperature etc.) except the fuel load. - The qualification will be considered incomplete if you fail to perform a valid touch & go at GVARDESKOYE. "

Mission debriefing is not considered for evaluation by race control.

To clarify this: For TCR, a belly landing or a landing were the gear is broken is considered a crash. If you ruin your aicraft with a hard landing after which it is no longer able to take off and can not be repaired in game, it is considered a crash /loss by race control. Sorry if I take away some seconds from your timings, but you should perform a 'normal' landing at the end and not smash you aircraft on the runway just to save 2-3 seconds. That is not aim of the game. :smilewink:

Just read all of the information provided on the TCR main page.

Hey ThaFunkster, really nice video and a very interesting technique as how to slow down before touchdown. I like it !

'Movement' in this case is the forward movement of the aicraft, when it starts rolling. Does that make it clear for you ?

The mission is still passworded, runs well and the main setup looks like this on my machine:

Definition of cheat by Raven's personal dictionary Cheat: cht To deceive or practise deceit, esp. for one's own gain; trick or swindle (someone) in a combat flight simulation, which normally can not be proven

From the TCR main page: "Similar to the qualification, the task is to take off immediately from Khersones, then approach in the given sequence all Crimean airbases as indicated by the waypoints / race track, do a touch & go at each airbase and land at Kerch. The time from the moment that your aircraft moves for take off until it comes to a full stop is taken. There is no need for a full stop at the airbases along the race track, just a touch & go with the main gear down."

All missions are passworded (despite this is no real protection), I'm sure. What do you mean by "default settings, all is off " ?

I sent an email to those 3 pilots, who already submitted a track.

The text was corrected. Thanks for clarifying this issue !
