@XxcreedexX m80 it was a mistake to even open this challenge
@XxcreedexX Prolly not, I'm going to grade the rest of the entries eventually, but most likely not anytime soon. Sorry about that.
I find it nearly impossible to take my own cockpit out,so here is my plane:https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Fev334/P-51D-mustang-11
I do have a plane I can easily enter but I wanted to say it was British as I'm British
I like the flag even though Im British I still like the addition of the flag
My entry is this:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/eI0P7X/F-114
@OtterOfToast Just do that, I probably won't grade it for a while though, I've done about 5 or 6 today alone.
@CrazyCodeC Problem. The plane I'm submitting is too complex for me to simply drag the fuselage into a sub-assemblies tab. Can't I just submit a link to it instead?
@CrazyCodeC :\ My cockpits are in the fuselage. It wouldn't let me do that--- buuut if I must, I'll try. Thanks.
@OtterOfToast You could take the cockpit block out of the plane, then save the whole thing as a subassembly, then, download this, and delete the plane and flag and what not, bring the subassemblied plane into the save, and replace the cockpit.
I have like-- 20 possible entries, but they're not successors, and were created ages ago. How can I enter now? D:
@MrDoolittle Your plane has been marked.
@NativeChief1492 Your plane has been marked.
Hmmmmm, I may enter my ol f2h banshee
Maybe make some delta wing fighter jet, and then maybe a sort of attack aircraft
@XxcreedexX Your entry is marked.
@CRJ900Pilot Your entries are both marked.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/2WZ1wO/F6F-Hellcat
And
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/a9HviQ/P-51-Mustangcan-land
@XxcreedexX Yes
@CrazyCodeC
I'm in!
@CRJ900Pilot @XxcreedexX Fine, but you MUST make any other entries successors.
Can I enter my p-51, and my hellcat?
@CrazyCodeC ok thanks!
@RedHawk 3 entries per person, points will not stack between them though, so someone who entered 1 plane would have the same chance of winning against someone who entered 3.
@CrazyCodeC Oh, ok, that like I'm going to have a good time flying this thing. Just 2 suggestions: Rating by part count and changing the replicas' grading of how the plane handles to how accurate the plane handles, because maybe it was a really unstable jet fighter, or maybe it was the best of the best.
@CrazyCodeC is there a limit to the number of entries?
