Hi I was just looking for feedback/suggestions regarding air racing. Do people like air racing? what sort of racecourses you prefer more realistic courses, fantasy courses, themed racecourses, reno style or redbull air racing style. Easy or hard or mixture of both. I was the creator of the Orbx …

DORRAGER: Unfortunately, will probably have to put this on a backburner until a future date should I manage to learn how to set courses up with timers and such as think that’s what it really needs for it to keep interest. Yes I think you’re right. Needs easily accessible way for a party or a…

[image] Baracus250: Sounds like there should be some documentation for those new features but I guess it’s still pretty complex! I did find some documentation, but it involved scripts which is where I’m clueless to be honest not sure where or what i need to try to learn to pick it up and unde…

I’m also interested in racing, and was underwhelmed both by Reno and by the SDK for it. I know Jorg or someone said at some point that getting SDK support for custom courses is on the wishlist, but there’s no indication that’s coming. I threw this together using just static elements and it’s a ton …

[image] Iridiumx191x: I looked at both ideas but the SDK doesn’t have much to say about toolbar add-ons Hopefully, that gets addressed soon .. a big hole in the SDK.

[image] Iridiumx191x: At this point, I personally feel the best thing we could do for building a racing community is to get a good way to time whatever course people want to run, whenever they want to run it, and as more people get involved, events will be easier to set up. It does look like …

Perhaps consider also things like the Mach Loop in race or time trial leaderboard format. I like the Grand Canyon run idea above too. The thing I found with Reno, was that there was not often people wanting to race when I was available. Then again, being in Asia, I seem to be on the ‘wrong’ side o…

Some good courses would be cool. Not the weird ‘fly in a circle’ course of the Reno addon. Create a course in the Grand Canyon or such…or though the Alps. Or make the Mach Loop a course. Something with terrain on the sides. Something which does not resemble a NASCAR course but an old fashioned …

The best gliders in real life are specifically built for racing. Racing with gliders is way more challenging as you have to manage your energy and properly read weather - endless fun. Please see: Glider races would be Awesome! where I suggest creating out of building blocks of Maverick low alt cha…

I know they don’t include a timer but the fun with friends add-on has a racecourse round the Mach loop and there is also 1 for the Grand Canyon an A to b course. I have found locations which could be suitable for similar courses.

I did think about gliders but wonder how easy it would be to create. Thanks for all the input so far even if I can’t implement certain idea’s at least it gives other or msfs devs an idea of what people want.

(Freeware developer) Do people want more air race courses?
