PLEASE READ!
Currently, The Blue Flame is set up with just enough fuel to run the length of the Murphy Airport main runway (Yeager Airport in the update).
Throttle up, and let her go. When you get to around 10% fuel, hit the breaks and pray. She should stop just at the end of the runway.
The car's speed potential is much higher than she can get on a runway, but unfortunately there aren't any better places to test it. (It would be cool if someone would make a custom map with some salt flats to race on).
Anyway, if you want more distance, just add more fuel to one of the nose sections.
HAPPY FLYING!
Fluff (from wikipedia):
"The Blue Flame is the rocket-powered vehicle driven by Gary Gabelich that achieved the world land speed record on Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah on October 23, 1970. The vehicle set the FIA world record for the flying mile at 622.407 mph (1,001.667 km/h) and the flying kilometer at 630.388 mph (1,014.511 km/h)."

I just drove it off the end of the runway and after spinning a couple of times it sort of floated down to the water before sinking which was a bit odd. Like a leaf falling.
@Zitaoziness Thanks!

Inspirted me to make the venturi buckeye bullet 3 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/K97tjq/Venturi-salt-flats-speed-record-detacher-vtol-powerdglitch-3000MPH-By-Thomas52
@Kimo Thanks :D
Great one!
@Shipmaster Thanks. Glad you like it :)
Sweet!
Love it. Lots of attention to details.
Great color sheme
cool i love cars like this but there are custom maps???
No problem, nice work with the lettering and the color gradient. And I was able to stop it just short of the cliff as advertised. Nice build.
@A5mod3us Np
@Dinogone Thanks!
@AerostyleAviation That sounds about right :P
Cool
I was able to stop it around 15-20 feet from the edge of the cliff! @A5mod3us
@A5mod3us this one? https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/700faa92-4092-47c4-ac1f-9746f56c249f anyway I had fun trying to race this thing down the path at the end of the runway at Yeager.
@JMicah4 I got an error when I tried to enable the mod :(
@A5mod3us This destroyed city mod I made should cut it. https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/acf584bb-cbbb-4ec7-9172-222a2e02467a
@RedHawk Thanks :D
Looks great, really fast
@bjac0 :P Figures. I hadn't posted the instructions yet. It's really only meant to sprint the length of the runway. You gotta hit the breaks right before it runs out of fuel.
@A5mod3us ikr? Also, i might have been the first one to fly this car off a cliff...
