grumpydog Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Years ago I used to fly an air race / obstacle course in IL-2 Gold Pack - Pacific Fighters, and I'd really like to find it again. I did a google search and found a bunch of air races, but not the one I'm looking for, and I'm hoping someone knows where this is. It's a winter map with snow. It starts out following a river with markers and barrage balloons on either side, there are a few bridges you can fly over or under, smokestacks to fly between, and when you get to the end of the river the course climbs, between barrage balloons, and takes you around a city at altitude, until you dive, fly down the main street, and wind up heading back down the river again. Follow the river back, and you reach the starting point which is also the finish line. Sometimes I'd use the balloons as the course, and shoot them down as I passed each one. They were filled with hydrogen or something, because they exploded nicely. Anyway, I haven't flown in years, but I just bought a new computer and 1946, and I'd like to have that race back again! And the subject line should be "know", not "now". Edited January 19, 2015 by grumpydog
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Pick up IL-2 Cliffs of Dover for nearly nothing and you can do this .... The stunt aircraft the SU-26 comes with it as a bonus and the circuit can be found by asking around the ATAG forums . Here's another video of this ....

grumpydog Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Those were great movies, thanks for putting them up. I'll probably pick up CoD in the next few days. I'd still like to find that race with the balloons, though.
Sokol1 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) ick up IL-2 Cliffs of Dover for nearly nothing and you can do this ... Just leave a "vanila" copy for practice Air Racing. Those cones sunk if install the last TF MOD. BTW - The cones have damage model, can be punctured if you hit then... I'd still like to find that race with the balloons, though. Use the FMB and set your racing course with balloons, stacks, colored smoke circles on air... etc. In CloD the balloon cable dont damage planes (that bad plane colision code), but the planes damage the balloon cables and they "goes with the wind".

grumpydog Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) I don't play online. And I don't have BOS. I doubt if it's the same map anyway, because I was flying it back in 2007 or so. Thanks for all the suggestions, but I'm just trying to find that particular map. I already have some others. Maybe it's lost to history, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) We do have an obstacle course set up in our Basic Training Server if anyone is interested ..... and this is most likely similar to what your referring to Grumpy ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vehi9629KUA Just grab your mission builder and create one your self.
