Top stuff old chap!
Shame we can't code in some single shot cannons such as on the C6 110 for some 007 quality marksmanship

But for now a good old Lewis will do just fine

Aye!

Also suggest that we arrange for a pre-spawn (let’s call it a rehearsal) of all participants one day (or a few hours) earlier, just to allow for the skins to load up beforehand. Last time it took about one hour for all skins to load, so these were not visible in the first duels... we could either do free for alls (good training) or simply be logged in so that the skins be given sufficient time to load. Especially if the event will be video recorded. Just a thought...

That was the idea behind the showing up 20 minutes early. As long as the skins are below 1Mb in size they will load just fine in that time. With this last match, the reason for jumping the gun, was due to the location of one of the participants, and their RL schedule.

I will be creating a rules/procedures list so things are a bit clear, such as;

First rule: It's single round elimination, The moment you are killed you are no longer eligible to win. [group discussions for those issues such as AI planes being involved]
Second rule: A collision where both pilots die... both are eliminated.
Third rule: Spectate off the runway. There is a designated area but you are only obligated to be off the tarmac.
Fourth rule: Only two guys to a fight. When it is your turn to compete;
1. you align on the marked section of the runway,
2. both pilots make sure they are ready, and notify the host.
3. THe host will call full throttle, or throttle up, then count down from 3.
4. after the count down take off as quickly as possible.
5. Once wheels up, turn HORIZONTALLY 270 degrees AWAY from your opponent.
6. Once you complete the turn you are free to engage[even if your opponent has not completed their turn]
Fifth rule: One fight at a time, fellas.
Seventh rule: Fights will go on as long as they have to.

And the
Eighth and final rule: If this is your first night at Moth Club, you have to fight.
