    On Eagles Wings is a Banshee Race map i have worked on for the past 4 weeks and I am extremely satisfied how it turned out. I can proudly say, out of all the banshee maps available i tried out, this one is the best. Some quotes from testers on forgehub.

    Once again, this is probably one of the best race maps I've played in my time, the aesthetics of the golden map are matched only by its playability, and I assure you that it shall remain on my hardrive for generations to come. A breath of fresh air, and a job well done.​

    You might want to use this one instead. To activate it, simply place a Q immediately inside the first bracket. It should look something like this:

    At any rate, this map is perfect for when you've got a larger party and don't know what the hell to do. It's clean, well forged, and a keepsake. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys race games.

    this reminds me of the map i made a while back but never put up since i had to fix the spawns but i will eventually . It was a banshee race also but yours looks wayyyy more detailed and has more obstacles.

    Comments don't necessarily mean that your map is being viewed by the community extensively. Instead, you'll start to see things like nominations, staff picks, and insane amounts of downloads. Who knows?

    In fact, I already know what I'm nominating for the next FhF. ;]

    PS, the new tunnel is decent enough.

    Wow nice concept, I thought this would be hard to play because of some tight spaces in the pics but it plays great. Playing a 1v1 in this map is awesome, and the looks/aesthetics are pleasing lol. Make more maps like this. I've thought about a SW trench run map but I lack the time to make it. You should make a trench run map.

    Have you watched Star Wars? The old movies? Well in New Hope and the Return of the Jedi the Death Star has to be destroyed some way or another. The first death star is destroyed with a vent at the end of an equatorial trench, and the second one is destroyed by going on maintenance tunnels.
    FIRST DEATH STAR: YouTube - Star Wars - The Battle Of Yavin
    SECOND DS: YouTube - "final assult into death star" Return of the Jedi

    Thought it could work with a race map kinda like yours, since you did a very good job in aesthetics and playability.

    PM me if you don't understand.
