Default RE: Simulation Pylon Course for RealFlight

I wish they had kept that feature.

(edit) I just checked, it was still available in v3.5 as an "event" but the length of the course baseline was limited to 250' and the pilot spawn position was not correct for the way that a 3-pole course is flown. This is an example of why developers/designers in ANY field should always be in tune with the end user of the product. It happens in full-size airplanes too. Sometime, I'll tell you about the cockpit mechanization of the F-16C (Block 30) and what happened when it finally got into flight test at Edwards...
