Nah, I didn't use it..
I was afraid the Germans would pick up any sign of that.
That way they wouldn't have lead me into the wave..

Hi,

I really think we should fly both days. For some pilots it are the only days not followed by a day they have to go to school/job so they can fly as long as they want (like me :wink: ) without having to worry about being too tired next morning.

There will be 8 race days in december even without flying the 25th. That means 4 counting result.

If enough people are interested in flying (and hosting!) the 25th maybe we can do a "christmass special", but either not count the result or keep the number of results counted on 4 ? I have some ideas for this "special" , but won't tell yet.

As for januari 1st, again, there are 8 possible days in january without counting the 1st. Although I see little reason not to make this a regular race day. Of course many people wont be able to join, but thats why we have this 50% rule...

But as the day factor not always allows us to get 1000 points,
I am forced to win the days when it is possible :)

Hi,

I'd be able to host both days, but I'm not sure yet how many pilots I can host... so far the max was 10 players with pings around 130-250(and one with 40 :wink: ). Perhaps I'll have the chance to test it before so that I can give you more detailed information.

I can host on New Years day but I most likely wont Christmas day unless it is a real short <2 hour event total time. It will keep me from drinking too much at our Celtic, Bluegrass strum on that damn thing jam New Years eve :lol:
