Choose aircraft that you plan to fly in the race.  It is a daylight session so fly the legs as fast as you can and land safely.  Let's tune up those racing skills.

Team members are encouraged to participate in this session. Any new race team members should make an effort to participate, as this session will provide an excellent opportunity to meet your fellow teammates and experience what the race is like. There will be experienced race members who can assist with any configuration changes required for the race, teamspeak, recommended race aircraft, and any other questions that you may have. The practice session will simulate the race environment including the following:

Flightplan Link

• Duenna validated legs with server tracking enabled

• Teamspeak communications

• Baton and Wingman with posts on the forum.

• Real time baton transfers and handoffs (if needed)

• On-line multiplayer using JoinFS

 

The practice session will start at 19:00 UTC (2PM EST) and will continue till 31:00 UTC.  Remember to change the event in your Duenna to "AVSIM RTWR Practice "

Point of order Mr. Chairman. First one has to have racing skills before one can 'tune them up'.

Just sayin'.

 

 

Are we using our own RTW forum for posting crashes flights?

Hm, probably not the best event to start practicing for me, especially since I will be home only a couple of hours before 1900 UTC, with no idea whatsoever about what I need etc...

Legs up on "Casual Flights" channel...

Gunter, please check your email.

Thanks Mike, got it, will install everything, see you Saturday!

Not sure yet if I can be present but if so is there any special scenery stuff etc required to fly this route? Looks like a fun trip!.

 

Now I'm a noobie to this too!!

What are Duenna validated legs with server tracking enabled ?

• Baton and Wingman with posts on the forum ?.

• Real time baton transfers and handoffs (if needed) ?

-------------------------

Is there a requirement for type of aircraft? (Other than being fast!!?  > and a Piston-powered fixed-wing aircraft,  or Turboprop-powered, fixed-wing aircraft of two engines or fewer, or Rotorcraft  (So NO jets permitted right?)

Hi Norm,

Probably the best place for an initial overview is the Round the World Race website. Look at the tabs for "About Race" and then (when you have some time) "Rules" for the General Rules and the associated FAQ and the RTW Whitelist (of approved aircraft). The "Menu" allows you to look at past history, the race forum, access the Duenna, and explore in more depth.

We can then talk you through the first phases.

Hope this helps you get started,
Mike

I'll try to get the latest versions of everything (TS, FSJoin, etc) installed Friday so I can practice Saturday.

Ok Mike thanks.. and thanks to "spokes2112" above who had the RTWR link (https://www.fsrtwrace.com/) below as part of his sig already started going through the docs.

BTW. Eamonn has put out an new 2018 version of the Duenna, available at the RTWR website's Duenna page here.

I like the new version....  HMMM... What "is" in store?

Many of you know my excuse for not joining this evening's session (the skiing's been excellent!), but I'll be back home tomorrow and will start getting some practice legs in. Plus I'll be around for practice next Saturday as well.

Thanks for the heads-up about the new duenna, I'll get that installed.

Hope you all have fun!

I have the baton for EKTS. DH.103 Hornet RR&SOH.
