Salute
After downloading the OH-6A fun map last night, we found it has a helicopter time trial course.
You enter the start gate and the clock starts running and also checks you have not missed a gate or gone too high.
It got quite competitive between Fruitbat and Fenrir last night shaving seconds off each others time @BluBear Fruitbat and Fen "virtually slapped your face" by way of a challenge as well... just saying...
I have looked at the script that controls this and have seen how it works and it now means we can build a mission for any time trials over a course. WWII tests anyone? or a thought I had this morning we could now build (and check) a Top Gun style run
This is NOT a mod that you will have to download. The magic will be embedded into the mission that we produce, so it can be open to anyone. The gates are the air show cones that are already standard in the mission.
Ideas for maps and locations for courses welcome.
Watch this space.
When I first found the problem with the SimHQ Archives the Internet Archive was under a DDos attack and had been down for a few days.

It is up but it is still in read only mode. No edits and no new content is being added at the moment.
There was only 1 save of the DGen Studies thread which was captured in 2018.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180429205040/http://simhq.net/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1708223/1.html
Considering there is a high probability that I generated this save I suspect that most of the SimHQ.net archived threads will not even have one save at the Internet Archive.
To help keep the information more readily accessible I have added it to the M4T Knowledge Base.

The Blackhawk mod is a very good helicopter mod as well, very different as is much more modern, and probably the easiest helicopter top learn to fly helicopters with,
