Hello everyone! It is time for a second open VK Community challenge.
It will be multi season championship with points system(almost like in soccer). Every season will have two rounds. During first round I will run AI controlled dogfights with your fighters. If your plane wins it - it will get 3 points in to table, 1 point if result will be draw, 0 - if it lose. After each unique pare of fighters end their battles - first round will over and their manufacturers will have small amount of time to make some minor planes improvements. Then starts second round and all fighters will face each other again.
Prizes: 1-st place in table will get 10 upvotes and his plane will be placed in album. 2-nd place will get 6 upvotes and will be placed in album. 3-rd place will get 3 upvotes and will be placed in album. Also, there will be something like gentlemen's totalisator - after each fight winner must give to the loser 1 upvote on any craft, and loser must give 2 upvotes to the winner.
Now, what about planes - you can build any fighter designed by any manufacturer between 1900 and 1935 years(biplane, triplane, monoplane) or any steampunk, dieselpunk or other fictional biplanes. Single engine with 1000HP max and no edits to RPM, no fuel mods and only 2 wing machineguns without any modification, no retractable chassis and engines on rotators =)
In the end of season we will run an vote for best replica and best looking fictional plane, winners will get 5 upvotes each and will be placed in album.
To qualify to the championship your plane must be successor to this one, but this is only example - you can't just paint it in "jelly" and upload =)
Your fighter must be original, here is link with exemples. Also if you do not affraid of
Cyrillic you can find something here. You can build your own Sopwith ofcourse, but it must be your Sopwith. If your entry will match to all conditions - I'll approve it with upvote. Qulifications will end 11 March 2016 on 23:59 GMT+0. Additional information will be published after the end of qualification.
Good luck and have fun to everyone!
p.s. I can't promise that, but I'll try to make video for every decisive battle, may be even more, but this is our secret, ok?)
I'm kind of swamped, but I'll read more of this tonight. @deusalgor
@deusalgor k then, will upload Incher-K6 :3
@ShatterFox sorry, it must be new build.
@deusalgor Well then, if that happens can i auto add my Incher-K5, cos that was based off some experiment that my dad showed me when i was younger.
@ShatterFox no problem, good luck with your builds =) We will watch on how this challenge will go on and, may be, add jets and ww2 leagues.
@deusalgor k searched them up my bad.
@ShatterFox steampunk and dieselpunk is two separate things...
@deusalgor BECAUSE I BUILD JETS. Also It's steampunk, not dieselpunk.
@ShatterFox it is your personal opinion =) There are lot of people who love to build replicas. And why you can't build cool looking dieselpunk biplane?)
@deusalgor Well, don't expect a lot of competitors, the whole point of simpleplanes is to build fun looking planes.
@ShatterFox it must look like it was. In fact, this restricting only for replicas.
@deusalgor Wait, How can something be designed in between 1900 or 1935 If its fictional?
@WalrusAircraft we will be really glad if you take part in that championship =)
