Pyrenees Low Altitude Challenge - World Record (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024)

My recent record for the Pyrenees Low Altitude Challenge in the F-18 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Generally speaking I think the flying is a bit loose in this run, and I'm sure I can improve significantly further, but I thought I would post this at the outset of the week to help people improve their scores. The challenge starts at 01:07 in the video. Tips and Tricks Initial loop: For this course, as with a number of the low altitude challenges, it's possible to improve your initial line and increase your speed by flying a loop at the outset as shown. Trees and power poles: This is generally one of the game's easier low altitude courses in my view, with the main difficulty being posed by the quite numerous powerlines positioned throughout the course. While there seem to be a couple that you can fly through without crashing, I'm not sure which ones they are, and the remainder will cause you to crash every time, so I'd strongly recommend using a line that gives the power poles a wide berth if you can. In relation to the trees throughout the course, you will sometimes be able to fly through the foliage without crashing, but I would advise against pushing this too hard, since it seems quite variable.

Thanks very much for watching, and best of luck to everyone doing the challenges this week. Edit: Improved record to 183.9k later in the week. I think something in the 182s is definitely possible with an excellent run, but I'm not sure if I have the time and stamina to go for it this week.
