jamiemunn5665 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Virtual racers and airshow fans, Registrations for our Virtual Air Race on the 23rd October are now open! This applies to absolutely anyone, whether you fly for a virtual team or not, all you need is a free copy of DCS World which comes installed with the aircraft we will use. The winner of the air race will be entitled to a copy of the aircraft (P-40F Kittyhawk) pictured below upon release, thanks to the guys at VEAO Simulations. All information about how to qualify is listed on the web page we have launched. You will receive a personal response regarding your registration within 24 hours. The final will be streamed live on Twitch.tv, with possible commentary following the race. Register here: http://vuaf.co.uk/air-race/ Further information about the event will be posted on this forum thread. Feel free to ask any questions here! Edited June 25, 2015 by jamiemunn5665
FLANKERATOR Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Cool initiative! Any chance to include targets on the way for racers to strike in exchange of a bonus in the form of seconds to deduct from the final flight time? Kind of mixing air racing and combat...regular P-51 would be needed though. Situational Awareness: https://sa-sim.com/ | The Air Combat Dojo: https://discord.gg/Rz77eFj

HeadHunter52 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Way ta go, VUAF and VEAO. I'm not good enough to race, but I highly encourage those who are thinking about this contest to go for it. Should be filmed, twitched..... commented on TS3? An online event promoting those who host this, DCS and of course, VEAO. I say GO FOR IT. There's time to grow this thing and make it a "real" event for VR pilots, and one heck of a show for enthusiasts! I'd sit back and watch on my big screen if I can get the hook-up to work! With a streaming link, people wouldn't who are spectating wouldn't have to be running DCS, and the server (password only - given to participants) would have an easier time of it.

It's great fun, and you'll be in line for some VUAF content and if you get to the final, you'll be flying live. Thanks for the comment anyway.

This allows absolutely everybody to take part, which is something we're really keen on.

You will be allowed to use custom skins for any qualifying flights, these will take place on a public server and will the times will be saved in the server log.
