November 24, 20214 yr I didnt think the Reno races would be for me, but out of curiosity I checked it out on you tube and thought I will give it a go, so I bought the basic package ............OMG, I love it! It is highly competitive, very difficult, demands a lot of concentration and very addictive. You could say I am hooked. I am off to practice lol 😎 Asus Maximus Hero X11, Intel i9 10850k, 32gb Corsair Dominator ram, 2tb Corsair mp510 ssd m2, Gigybyte turbo RTX 3090
November 24, 20214 yr I like it if you take it for what it is... Fun.. AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive

November 24, 20214 yr Yep, same for me! Didn't want to spend too much on it as I wasn't sure if it was going to be my thing but I think its great fun! I am terrible at it and only just had my first race where I've actually gained points rather than lost.. but its highly addictive to keep joining quick matches to try and get a better result!

November 24, 20214 yr I would enjoy this, but I haven't purchased it. Considering how little time I have to spend with the sim, and usually around 11pm when I do get a chance, apart from rare weekends, it doesn't seem worth my spending the money. A shame.

I think that's the beauty of this expansion though. The races are only 10 or so minutes in length, so you can just fire it up and do a race or two if you're limited for time. The only slight disappointment for me is the fact that I haven't done a race yet without empty slots. The lobbies don't seem that busy which is a shame. Maybe it's just the times I'm flying.

November 25, 20214 yr MSFS just posted up this video with the RW pilots: Spotlight Series: The Pilots of Reno Air Racing (STIHL National Championship) - YouTube
November 25, 20214 yr I downloaded the entire aircraft package and the expansion pack but I don't seem to get any races? I set Reno Stead as airport of departure and see the stands but they're all empty like I turned up at the wrong time. What's the trick to get this working guys?

November 25, 20214 yr I bought that too but have not got around to trying it. Hope you dont need the big package to participate Have you looked under activies? challenges or something like that?
November 25, 20214 yr I bought the full package and got myself 40 new aircrafts. Nice. You have to go to Activities to join races.
November 25, 20214 yr That sorted it thanks @peppy197 It was under activities. 👍 Cheers Terry No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea. Sorry Goose, but it's time to buzz the tower!
