Hello!

Yes, its only been 1.2 years sense my last challenge, the OGs will remember the "Cargo plane challenge" but I just realized with a new PC and 1.8 years of experience I could make a much better challenge. This challenge is not to get me "free" points but simply for fun.

Rules (Read Carfuly)

  • You have to make a TriJet, Definition:['trijet]
    NOUN
    an aircraft having three jet engines.
  • You can make a Tri-Jet from any time period.
  • No mods, but XML is allowed.
  • You can make fictional, but make it look realistic. (Ex: space cargo planes are not allowed, lol).
  • The plane must have 3 Jets, yes, that's what this challenge is.
  • All entry's must be a successor, for ease of judging.
  • Size of the aircraft does not matter, you can make a privet jet or a UPS cargo plane, both will be judged equally.
  • Max part count is 800 but try to keep it as low as possible.
  • No Fighter jets of any kind (must not be armed)
  • No Reposting in any way (past airplanes)
  • 1 entry

Judging

Ok, the 'fun' part!
Looks ----------------------------------------------------------------- 0/10

Followed all rules -------------------------------------------------- 0/5

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Total ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0/50

Read Before You Ask

yes, Replicas can get a extra 5 points if they are done decently because fictional aircraft can be what ever you want so I push strongly for replicas.

Yes, it needs to have 3 Jets that can be clearly seen and identified as a tri-jet

No, weapons cant be used. You can make a behind the lines combat aircraft like a recon plane or spy plane. AEW&C can be made. But most of these don’t actually exist in the real word so it won’t be a replica (if you find one that’s real I’ll allow it). The best combat tri-jet I know of is a refueling plane.

Yes, XML is allowed because its not a mod and it helps people keep part counts down, which helps everyone, including my PC.

Yes, it has to be a successor, you can download this post, and just start building, no need to select 'new aircraft'.

    Is it possible to put two main engines and one additional engine on the plane, or should all three be main engines?

    @DerpyCookie17 yeah, as long as there is o thrust.

    ‘Kay, after months of being dead I’m back and so of course the first thing I do is come compete in a challenge centered around replica’s. Yeah....no. I’m doing something similar to the U-2. Maybe. One question. If I set the power multiplier to 0, then can I use a prop engine for additional decoration? For example like he JU-87 had its sort of “alarm” when it was diving from (I think) the small props on the landing gear

    @ACEPILOT109 mean that I made up the plane in SP and then made (kinda) a recreation of it for the X-Plane flight simulator. It's quite a bit more challenging.
