Pylon race

The course is the triangle of the pylon racing leagues (FAI F3D and F5D). Three pylons, 5 m tall, mark a lap of 400 m. Pylon 2 and pylon 3 stand 40 m apart, on the left. Pylon 1 stands 180 m from them, on the right. Fly the laps counterclockwise, with left turns, and keep outside each pylon. A lap is pylon 1, pylon 2, pylon 3 and then the start line. The start line crosses the near leg, 30 m to the right of pylon 3.

The race is five laps, because a T1-S battery does not last for the ten laps of the leagues. The game panel shows your lap, your place, the race clock and the next pylon. A turn inside a pylon is a cut. As in the leagues, one cut adds 10 % to your time, and two cuts disqualify you. A crash, or R, takes you out of the race. The computer pilots continue until each one finishes.

A lap is once round the outside of the pylons

If the game is a race, the game clock is running, the plane is flying and the lap count is at most 4, fly round the outside of pylon 1, pylon 2 and pylon 3. Then fly across the start line. The lap count goes up by 1.

If the game is a race, the game clock is running, the plane is flying and the lap count is at most 4, fly round the outside of pylon 1, pylon 2 and pylon 3. Then fly across the start line. The lap count goes up by 1.
