Hi Guys!
I play WW2 combat sim's since old days but I play them only in MP (Duels preferably) since I find AI too easy... on the other hand MP has the limitation of players online so I was looking around for some SP solution.
Since I'm also attracted for competitions and I follow every race of the Red Bull Air Race I was wondering if there was a sim able to reproduce the difficult tracks of this challenging event.
Unfortunately only arcade games are on the market...
I started to look around for some civil simulator with good flight models and the only ones that are able to reproduce aerobatics are Xplane and Aerofly FS.
Aerofly is limited in sceneries and MP, Xplane has the whole world and is much more complete.
I started to write to a guy (Zorz) that already did an air race plugin in the past. Nowadays we have a beta plugin able to reproduce all the rules of the RBAR and, at the moment, two tracks of the real world championship that are exactly the same as real one (pylons in the exact position).
End state is to have a MP version with anti-cheat and all the tracks of the RBAR.
Here is a small example of what we have.
If you are interested follow video (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxUK83FO2j-Jr4RdZtPGeZA) description and join the project. Any suggestion is appreciated!
