2007 Round-The-World Flight Simulator Race
Mad Mike has taken a break from the NonPCGeeks site for this week while he’s flying around the world in the 2007 Round-The-World Flight Simulator Race. The race pits teams from AVSim, FlightSim and Sim-Outhouse against each other in a race around the world with special rules, conditions and bonuses.
All teams were given the rules 24 hours in advance of the start of the race (10a EST on Friday). The rules include route requirements (such as two airports about 3000m above sea level and two airports below sea level), bonus airports and various rules such as if a plane crashes and which planes could be used in the race.
The teams use a SHOUTcast server so you can follow the chatter as they are flying around. Here’s Team AVSim’s SHOUTcast page which is Mad Mike’s team. Also, you can perform live tracking and check out the status of race on Google Earth. Look for 2002cbr600 on the AVSim team as that’s Mad Mike!
Looks like his team is furthest along with the most bonus time currently, but they have only done one of the required special landings while the other teams have completed water lands and have no hit and high altitude landings.
We’ll post an update everyday as well as a reviewed Flight Simulator gadget by Mad Mike.
