EVENT: TracerFacer's Racers II #106
TracerFacer's Racers II event is now available for registration.

Join us in a night of racing and crashing. (mostly crashing).

Tired of blowing stuff up? Tired of shooting other people down? I thought not. But consider this anyway! Instead of yet another BOOOOOORING night of blowing up your friends in DCS. You can watch them brag about their piloting skills, then watch them repeatedly crash in a night of TracerFacer's Racers!

EVENT TIME IS SET FOR CDT AS IS THE WEBSITE. PLEASE PLAN YOUR TIME ZONES ACCORDINGLY.

For Event 2 of TracerFacer's Racers - we will be using our own Dedicated F99th.Com server. I have been modifying the Racing Series Map to add other aircraft like the hawk and c101's to the various tracks.

Hope to see you there!

Is this going to be with the modifications you were mentioning?

Unfortunately I am going to be in Ft. Lauderdale for the event, therefore away from my PC (thinking of looking for a good gaming laptop while I am there, IDK), but may I please request the inclusion of the MiG-15, for whenever else you have the map up on the server? Want to try it on the tracks! :cheer:

will the racing "mission" be run on our server at all before the event goes down for practice?

Also, Mig 15 would be excellent to race with.

Is there a reason for it being scheduled 2 and a half weeks out? I would think most everyone would just as soon do it this weekend and we don't have anything else on the docket for the time being.

Haven't finished all the changes I wanted to make to the mission and just wanted to give folks time to plan.

Might have those changes done today. Might not. Work been crazy.

A version of the map we will be flying is now available on the server. I've removed most of the useless 51 slots at each course and instead put in various others, F15's, 27's, M15's, M21's, 86's, Hawks, C101s etc etc

If you have "skin in the game" (ha, did you see what I did there?) I've tried to add it to the various slots at the various courses.

Mission on the server is called "F99TH_AIR RACING"

Sorry.. I was not clear..
The mission is available on our server for playing. You will need to have an Admin swap the map if you don't already have SLMod access to do so yourself.

Hmm...

The lap timer does not appear to be working for the MiG-15. Is there anything in the script that requires inclusion of the "timable" aircraft, or the likes? note: I have never looked at this script, so have not a clue.

Maybe it is not working either for other aircraft you added?

Quite possible. Haven't looked at the script either. I'll look at it tonight. Hopefully he hasn't hardcoded plane names into the script.. that would be ewwwwwwww

After you reported this I took a look at the script..

Every gate on every course is checked for the aircraft type. The MiG-15 was missing from this check.. But even after adding still it does not register when go you go through a gate.

Will keep trying.

Yeah, I want to have a look at the script, too. Unfortunately, I am away from home again tonight and tomorrow night. Incidentally, thank you for your guidance and advice on locating scripts from MP sessions, it was a very helpful chat!

I am also changing my mind on a particular add on, with the races in mind, and I am in total agreement with your ideas on this. However I will post that opinion on a related thread I was looking at a moment ago.

Gonna funning indeed!

As I mentioned last night, I think it is a great opportunity to get familiar with the handling of different airframes.
