new aircraft for next year?

[l_schuiling 6]

Hi guys

 

The plane I have been waiting for has arrived

 

I would like to go in pilatus pc 21 next race. How to get this on the white list?

Or the ants airplane trojan for that matter?

 

Great flying

Leon,

 

I am sure one of the gents in the executive committee will come across this post. As an opinion I really doubt the excellent PC-21 would be allowed. Normally any jet fueled aircraft(turboprop/jet) would be considered a cabin class ex. 4? or more passengers + pilot/co. for a valid leg.(Although not written in stone! SAAB J-29?) As for the Trojan... MMM.. You never know, could be an idea for a low/slow trainer class. THe exec guys do a heck (BOAT LOAD) of alot of work just to have a theme, valid aircraft and route restrictions, race rules write up etc... All we have to do is wait.. Good suggestions though!

[Eamonn Watson 32]

For sure good suggestion, but Roman is right, just give it time, when we get closer to the race you can submit aircraft to be included in the white list.  

 

Depending on the theme / rules / etc, who knows what planes we will be forced to fly.  Hell this last year we all had to quickly grab and learn to fly the L1011s so you never know what might show up.

Remind me to notify the committee that we need to get the AN-2 on white list. :wink:

[StoneC0ld 5]

Yep, for all we know, we might be flying half of RTWR2014 in Wright Flyers! Be sure you have 8 months off work to fly this race...

 

Edit... Hmmm... now why don't I have a fancy moderator tag? Did I miss something?

Stratocruisers for the "jet legs" and AN-2s for everything else is my suggestion. I just don't think the Wright Flyer has the range sadly. ;-)

well i am also waiting for new aircraft......can anyone tell me about recent updates..????????

[MM 422]

Just a quick and unofficial comment about the 2014 RTWR White List. First, the basic set of aircraft will probably be similar to that of 2013...though nothing has been decided. New additions, like the PC-21, will need further consideration. (If the simulation meets the public specifications, then the PC-21 is a good candidate for inclusion. It is not truly fast,though.) If you all have candidates that fit our typical profile, then please nominate them.

 

While the routing, special requirements, and the theme might have some surprises, we are hoping to move to a more open and racing-community-based authorship of the core elements. All IMHO.

If you have the ability to APPRECIATE any of the aircraft you are requesting, you also have the ability to ACQUIRE the skills necessary to modify/improve/create aircraft - but by asking US to do the work for you, you are chosing the easy route, instead of rolling up your own sleeves.

Mike,

 

Was the Flying Stations Sea Fury ever considered?  I'm pretty sure I didn't see it on last year's list.

[MM 422]

Hi Craig,

 

The Flying Stations Sea Fury seems an excellent aircraft.

 

We do need to do more study. (I vaguely recall that it is possible to pick the right combination of flight parameters -- different than suggested in the manual -- and go much faster than one expects.) I would love to hear more from your own testing. Maybe email me?

Mike,

 

Will do.  Initial testing a while back left me with the impression that it was at least competitive. Plenty of time between now and then.  Thanks!

Who are you ???

Looking forward to this hopefully razbam has released their A-26 by then and its use is allowed

Hoping for twin engine in the Jet category. Would love to fly the PMDG 777 LR.
