AVSIM's Round the World Race Forum

Some time spent on the Buzz Server (thanks Buzz) with Dino Cattaneo's most excellent T-45C Goshawk for FSX using (the now defunct?) Topgun Simulations "Day Traps" Mission. Dino's T-45C is freeware and makes a terrific addition to one's stable. Outstanding plane to practice your carrier traps. http://indiafoxtecho...rch/label/T-45C http://www.microsoft...imulations.aspx

Hi guys , hope you all are well . Well I got the New PMDG 737NGX :) and its a beauty.

If any of you fine chaps fancy a little fly about then I will be on Buzz`s server from about 7-8pm UTC . Who else has this toy and what do you think of her ? Fancy an NGX get together ?

Hello Team Avsim!First of all congratulations with another RTW Race Victory. 39 minutes!! :( I thought it was close back in 2007 :(Might be jumping back into FS9 again :( Unless I somehow find renewed interest in World of Warcraft.Finally built myself a new desktop after the old one died just before last years race. At least it didn't die in the middle of the race, leaving you guys with an unreliable MP and Voice server.Haven't touched anything FS related since. Probably forgot a load of stuff, like all the tweaks and what addon should be above and below.Anyways....just saying "hi" to the old guys.JT

Third leg of the race leg of the race, Jock baton holder with myself as wingman. A miserable rainy afternoon soon turned into clear skies and a beautiful trip down from Guyana through Surname and French Guiana to the far north of Brazil. It was soon apparent that my Hornet was a lot faster than Jocks Tigercat and he soon disappeared from view.After a quick descent and 10 miles out from the airport the word came over the airvwaves that Jocks plane was down (computer crash) leaving me a little heart stopping moment as my leg suddenly becomes really important. But a nice smooth landing and quick changeover was satisfying. Only a little time lost due to my superior speed so n…

After DC bought the Dornier home we jumped into Cubs for a guided tour of the Island courtesy of Jeff .

I believe I may have broken some aviation laws. I overflew a passenger aircraft on approach to MDST violating separation rules.Sorry... Promise I will not do it again! RomanBelieve it is a 737-400.

iFlyOnline landed at TNCM just after 0400 UTC as the final of the four teams to complete the circumnavigation.The Executive Committee wishes to thank everyone who participated. Results will be announced Wednesday as we complete verification of the posts and requirements.An excellent job in flying the fastest Around-the-World Race in the event's history.Thank you for another fantastic race.Matt SmithIan DaleMike MacKuenReggie FieldsRob Ibey

Minor updates and corrections to both the General Rules and 2011 Special Rules and their FAQs have now been posted. Pilots who were previously confused by particular points should recheck the rules for clarification. Substantive changes have not been made; we have simply updated the documents to be clearer and, where errors were noted, fixed the errors.Notices to Airmen for the 2011 RTW Race may be found here: http://www.fsrtwrace.com/2011RTWRNOTAMs.pdfFinally, team briefing committees have been issued passwords for the briefing sheet system and allowed to unlock one continent.Best of luck!
