Attention! Due to the low number of non-compliant aircraft, it has been decided to cancel the tournament. I'm sorry to announce this. Probably the tournament was too ambitious and raised many rules that could be difficult to meet or neglect. What is learned in this case will serve to make better tournaments in the future. Probably less ambitious, simpler and perhaps more attractive to the whole community. I feel again this outcome and hope you continue to trust me for the next tournament. It will take some time to publish a new tournament, as I want it to be original, easy for all and especially attractive and fun. Thank you all. A hug!
@mikoyanster Can i use modded gun not from this challange
@mikoyanster Is it possible to use a 180-locking radar?
Anyone building a Folland Gnat?
@mikoyanster ok
@Bagas yes, but check rules for propellers
@mikoyanster can i enter this
@mikoyanster NOOOOOOOOO !!
:C
@Supercraft888 Yes ... I will have to make an exception or cancel the event. :-(
@mikoyanster
Alot of the planes here don't have the minimum of 100 parts
@mikoyanster Bloody hell nevermind, I Missed a rule and i'm already done lol. Do i submit it anyway? For like honourable mentios? lol
@Supercraft888 here is it described https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/612507
What are the different things on the carts?
@Othawne Welcome
I'm in.
here comes ridiculously fast turning planes lol
@mikoyanster OK. Thank you.
@Mumpsy Yes, the rules indicate that a maximum of 4 Guardians
@Mumpsy You can install this dispositives if not activated ;-)
@mikoyanster Also, do the early 50's jets have missiles?
@mikoyanster I have a question regarding afterburners and extra gun (not specified guns) that I would like to put on this build. Can I add either gun or afterburner if they can only be used if activated? The afterburner would only be for human use. The same with the gun. I don't have to install these items if it will disqualify my entry, but the "activated only gun" is part of the build's aesthetics. I basically would like it to be tournament ready and fun for players too.
@mikoyanster okey thx!
@Seonor Sorry! ;-) F-86 and P-80 are valid, it´s ok!
mikoyanster ?
@ReischetzFokke but F-86F Sabre was introducted in 1949.
P 80 was used in early korean war so i think is allowed or ot?
