I'd like to ask for a racing terrain

[+Cliff7600 1,148]

Hi,

 

I'd like to make the following request :

 

A terrain as simple as the bombing range, but dedicated to a race track, like Reno air races.

The aim is to race against the time, not against another plane.

 

I know there's must be targets but just a hangar is enough?

I think it should be done like the bombing range, 2 differents terrains (friendly/enemy), in order not to be hunted while racing.

 

The track could be delimited by 150 ft tall pylons (yes somebody have to model them), and a way point should be placed at the location of each pylon.

I know that in the Bering Straight terrain, there's big red and white antennas that could be perfect for that...

 

The thing is to have a track with a precise length, like 100 kilometers, to establish speed records (with stock settings of course).

 

I find it fun to use those war planes like race cars for a while :)

 

It's just an idea...

the fact is I'm not skilled enough to do it myself, it's not an excuse, I'm willing to help if I can.

 

Cliff

um.... one such terrain actually exists. It was started by MajorLee, but never finished.

 

it would require a seperate, stand alone install with ALL aircraft data inis extracted, and ALL weapons mountings removed, including guns. That's what we'd discussed 2-3 years ago when it was being worked on. Otherwise, "cheating" could occur -ya know, shooting down the guy that's gonna win kinda thing (although, not always a bad idea)

 

One could always modifiy The Fighter Bowl terrain I did; make the course circumnavagite the central sea; plyons could be represented by the towers as seen on the Adjucator's island.

 

not difficult to create at all, just the game engine/objects/etc would need to tweeking, and could ONLY be used in multiplayer, which negates any possilbe use in SF2 series

Even then, for SP it would be a challenge. Instead of just the Multiplayer aspect, you can "Win" a Fighter Sweep mission if there aren't any fighters, and the challenge would be a timed event, where the "time" is how long it took you to complete it. We did that in Flanker 2.51 during some Alas Rojas challenge missions. Then again, we had a real mission editor but if you make it a custom mission, it may work.
