NZFF

Just an update to let you know that due to the constraints of AI within FS2004 the race has now been
shortened and is based on a 24Hr cycle. To be honest 32 a/c all arriving at small airfields just creates
too many problems,this in part due to the make up of some of the afcads.
Anyway I am testing at the moment and as soon as I have ironed out a couple of teething problems I'll
release it.

Excellent. Really looking forward to this, its a neat idea. Any hints re what aircraft have entered
Has the NZ FS community ever held an in-sim air-race on VATSIM or something similar?
