Still not sure if there will be any interest in this as an event but I have built 9 of the 10 mini events to use or choose from They are ready for testing anytime I can get a or some Gits.
Jeep obstacle and road race.
Bad weather C47 mountain cargo flight.
Multi engined dogfight.
Single engined dogfight.
Mountain pass La7 race with hidden objects and shooting targets.
Fighter intercept of multi engined aircraft.
Groundpounding.
Comet high level intercept.
Base defence using gun positions of aircraft against ground and air targets.
I have formulated a points scoring system for each event that rewards skill but made them so that novices can still have fun.
I am still working on other ideas but keep any ideas you have coming. Looking at these I could adapt these to run as coops and dogfights in V11?
Anyone interested in giving these a try just let me know.

Sounds good Dino, I especially like the jeep race! I see your point about the "Villiage Idiot" award, I'd go broke handing out that many trophys. Perhaps a virtual ribbon? Kind of like the "kid showed up" awards they like handing out in school these days.

Hey guys , I have now built and tweeked with the help of a few GITS,10 mini type events.
A jeep race through obstacles on to roads through a town to an airshow.
A 2 part C47 accurate cargo drop mission through mountain passes, in bad weather, landing on a short makeshift runway. ( This event appears twice, one in rain and lightning, one in snow and I could use input as to which works best )
A fighter VS AI fighter dogfight using the BF109 G6 Late against various other fighter aircraft.
A "Comet" ME 163 bomber intercept event.
A base defence event. Using grounded,entrenched bomber gun positions defend an airbase against attacking troops, vehicles and aircraft.
A multi engined dogfight using the P38L against other types of AI multi engined aircraft.
A mountain pass race using the LA5 with a difference. You can earn extra points landing, finishing, shooting balloons and by flying over small hidden objects.
A single engine VS AI multi engined event using the P47.
A ground attack event using the IL2 M3.
Any imput on aircraft types, conditions, time of year or day would be helpful.Some are one life events, some unlimited using refuel, rearm etc... After each event the points are added and posted so you know where you are. Some events allow for large scores so the leaderboard can change rapidly.

I never meant this to be serious and built it as just a fun point hoarding Comp.This is not to find the best pilot, I just thought it would be nice to meet once a year and remember BG whilst having some fun. Every event obviously favours a good pilot but the worst pilot could still win this and that was my aim. Maybe a setup like that will encourage more to have a go. Once completely tested and tweeked we can see if there is enough interest. I think Roger said he has the data base of DD members so a PM could go out inviting them even though they are not active right now. Maybe it might nudge them to come and have a look. Of course it might all fizzle out and get no interest from anyone but thats OK I like building stuff anyway so I wont cry....much.

In the vault under missions is a folder called BG Competition. In it is a mission folder to be dropped in RC4 dogfights. If any of you get anyone would like to try them out please help yourself and let me know any suggestions you might have. I have several designs for a cup but am still looking for ideas in that direction also. Painless has already volunteered as a judge/committee member and of course anyone else who wants to get involved in this way just holla.
