DoctorDavinci Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 @Triop - might I suggest that you update the OP to include the link for the track that will be used ... I'm itching to get the official version so I can find the best route between each checkpoint I have managed to hit a top speed of over 170m/s on a flat and launch Bill's Bad Beaver to well over 700 meters and landed it with just the nosecone getting smashed ... I remembered the chutes this time Bill's Bad Beaver is all stock with 2 Juno's as the main drive ... Bill will be driving so he can pack the chutes after he takes his Bad Beaver to new heights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I solved my problem with the Races mod, I forgot to put it on "sprint". It works now, should we use it in the challenge ? I'm down with Races. Never used it before, but I can agree it would help. The mod is something me and @SpannerMonkey(smce) Have been working on. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/152597-12x-structural-tubing/&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final stage will be Stage 7 ---> Stage 2. Working on setting up gates right now using the Races! mod. That takes some time since I need to fly and land at every stage. There will be plenty of time guys, the challenge won't start before January 1st ! But it will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triop Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Just done testing stage 2, MAN THAT STAGE IS HELL ! Have to remember to start early in the day, got stuck in the dark . . . Also lost a battery,headlight and a solar panel, pfffff Took me over 4 hours, I'm going to set the rules to 24 hours (or should it be 6 ?)per stage. If you are not in by then, Dakar will be over for you. Well that was a lot of fun ! Going to install Kis/Kas now to give my car some new parts..

Eidahlil Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 5 hours ago, Triop said: You may repair, refuel, even replace your vehicle, BUT it will cost you a lot off time. So we're allowed to refuel/repair after each stage without penalty, and during the stages it incurs a time penalty? I second DoctorDavinci's suggestion of updating the OP when the rules/map get updated. Not everyone will read every post in the thread before starting. And some will probably start early anyway. Also, would my (stock) "truck" fall under the "Fuel" category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time penalty for repairing/refueling after a stage. During a stage repairing/refueling will make you lose time anyway, so also no penalty there.

Triop Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Well the track is ready, the savegame is needed for the flags but you don't necessarily need it if you are going to use the Races! mod. https://www.dropbox.com/home I updated the OP so everyone can download. From now on I will be working on writing out the challenge. I also still need to test stage 3,4,5,6,7...But I hope someone else will beat me to it.
