Hello There!
Welcome back to another challenge. this challenge will require you to make an aircraft that can pass the Indy Air Race circuit with the fastest time.

- No Mods.

- Funky Trees Controls and others is allowed. (As long Unlimited Class validation passed)
- Fine Tuner is allowed.
GRADING
Aircraft performance will be judged based on how fast you are at completing the circuit.
The location of the race is the Indy Air Race
Grading will use the SimplePlanes AI. The SimplePlanes AI will make all decisions — not me — so make sure your aircraft is AI-compatible, or it may not function properly.
Each match will only have a single round i.e. once you crashed no second chance.
RANKINGS
Prizes will be given in the form of upvotes.
Note: If you don’t have enough aircraft posted on the forum, I won’t be able to give the full prize.

@FartResidue
Helicopter engine is not banned, you just cant make helicopter.
If it passed validation then yes you can
hmm....
2 questions:
1. are helicopter engines banned, or is it just helicopter-type builds. Is it allowed to build a normal plane and power it with a helicopter engine, or use a helicopter engine/tailrotor on it?
2. regarding funky trees, is changing the input scale of engines not allowed since that also increases power?
@LettuceRob119 Context?
Ima do it
@CaptainNoble @Bigolfishboy my ornithopter wouldn't pass the XML rule
@CaptainNoble Like I stated, I’m not sure about every ornithopter on this website won’t pass, But I think it might be difficult to make one that can be validated in the unlimited class.
@Boeing727200F I don’t believe the unlimited class allows ANY XML modding regardless of whatever system or usage it has/is.
question, is it ok to have XML modded fuel tanks to hold infinite fuel and be weightless
my aircraft wont have the space for fuel as it is going to be based on old tournament aircraft
@Bigolfishboy alright prop powered shitbooxx
@Bigolfishboy go fly @SemedianIndustries silver dragon
@Boeing727200F Since air brakes don’t seem to be allowed in the unlimited class, now it’s just a well…
shitboxx…
@CaptainNoble I was thinking the same thing, However, I don’t believe the AI can fly it properly and I think it might get disqualified from the unlimited class because most use XML modding to create their speed and momentum.
@CaptainNoble can it race? if yes, sure
are ornithropers allowed
@Rb2h uhhhhhhhh…
YA THINK?!
Oh man I have an ENTIRE series of this!
Guys I chunkycheese may reign terror amongst you all, the last challenge has weakened my self esteem
Guys I think I didn't pass-
I will work on one tonight
Interesting..
@MetallicBeef6572 none this wont use tournament bracket
no xml modding?!?
how am i meant to make anything at all then?!?
@Kingsman472 If both aircraft crash on a circuit, who wins?
@Boeing727200F Please don't "whip out the air break powered shitboxx"
