Hi all,The Special Rules and Routing for 2008 have been posted on the RTWR website (www.fsrtwrace.com/rules.htm).I'm just formatting the FAQ now (easier said than done for an HTML novice). It will be up in a few hours.I'll also reply to this thread with text versions of the rules.Best of luck on preparations!Cheers,Matt SmithRTWR Executive Committee

A little early this year?

[vcaptmattsmith 3]

Yes. We heard that teams were scrambling to plan with only 24 hours, and with the race starting fairly early on Saturday this year (Friday being a workday in the US and Europe) we wanted to be sure everyone had plenty of time to game things out.Best,Matt SmithRTWR Executive Committee

Attached are text versions of the rules and FAQ. The tables may be a little hard to read, but it's difficult to render them in .txt.Best,Matt SmithRTWR Executive Committee

Here's a PDF version of the rules document.Easier to read than plain text.Had to scrap the banner, OpenOffice didn't want to show it.And yes, I know I made a typo in the filename :)

Two things have been brought to my attention:(1) There is a typo (Mike's fault I'm sure :-)) about an airport in the Atlantic South #2 CorridorThe correct airport is Sao Tome International, Sao Tome, Sao Tome and Principe - ICAO FPSTThe correct corridor is FPST-FHAW-SBNT(2) The link for the Antarctica AFCADs for FS2004 and FSX is not working correctly. The files are here:http://www.flightsim2004-fanatics.com/Flig...ca_Airports.zipI want to STRONGLY CAUTION teams to look at the airports.They can be extremely challenging/ messed up in some mesh and FS version configurations.Also - make sure you test landing - my experience is planes slightly off the runway, or on a snow runway, can take 5 or 10 times normal stopping distance.
