I can't seem to find where to turn on an F3C layout? Just the 3m,1m pad and lines to the 5m flags with a pilot position (camera, I guess) 9 meters away...

I'm sure it must be somewhere, but I've missed it.

Thanks,
Sam Corlett

Hi,

open the menu with esc, switch to the Training tab. You can select the available training options in the Traffic Cone pull-down menu.

Do you need anything else? Then please give me a description.

All the best,
Klaus

Just need the helipad circles, lines to the flags on either side, (5m from center, 0.5m tall) with hash marks at 2.5 m. I was looking for an image, happened to find the field for the 2019 US NATs that I actually painted, LOL

Phoenix had a nice layout, but the flags were too tall:

Here's a perpendicular view from 2019 WC at Ballenstedt:

Thank you for your suggestion. I just added that.

You can find it in neXt v1.659 and higher in the Training tab, Traffic Cones: F3C option.

Would be great if the spawn could be set into the center of that circle. Also, I find it hard to understand the settings for cones and boxes. I played around with the cones "distance from center" and nothing seemed to change for some reason.
Is it at a fixed distance when we choose F3C? That would explain it.
Also, the flags between the center and the actual flags in F3C as far as I understand it should be removed/ replaced with ground markings as per the pictures above.

Last but not least, if you could implement some F3C style bodies for some 700 sized helicopters like the T-Rex 700 or SAB Goblin 700 Kraken in the game, maybe even implement dedicated helos like the Hirobo Eagle 4 or SAB Goblin Urukai :)

A man can dream ;)

I can't move the spawn point to the center of the circle because it would cause a lot of users to report an error. This would clash with the regular spawn point preset as well as your own spawn point and network online meetings.

The flags should be where they are. I can see them in the photos and in the official description. The distance is also defined by the F3C rules. I now hide these sliders when selecting a fixed size and distance.

Of course I would add an F3C body, but I don't have one to take the required photos.

All the best,
Klaus

I second that an F3C model would be great. Really hope that you find a way to render it.

Thank’s

Can someone with a model take the required photos and send to you or how is the redering done?

Thank’s
Anders

Hi Anders,

this is not possible. I need the canopy parts to take pictures here. I take photos in my studio with special lighting and a high-quality camera. The parts of the canopy should not have any highlights, reflections, shadows or distortions.

All the best,
Klaus
