Black Phantom

Auto Credit Based on JohnnyBoythePilot's Black Phantom

Black Phantom publicly unveiled. Lost the Bandit Run Tournament. Won 3 matches, and lost the 4th one to Touring Jet Final Edition.

Good luck to Touring Jet!

Couple things I learned from this design:

  1. You can design an incredible racer, but the AI will always butcher it's handling.

  2. I completely under estimated other's designing skills.

  3. I learned about editing the deflection angles on control surfaces to maximize precision.

  4. I have an idea on what techniques will enable the AI to handle a racer better.

NO this is NOT a copy of Black Mamba as some particular person wants to claim. This is completely built from scratch.

Congratulations to ABC123 on winning the Bandit Tournament with Presto!

    That's weird. It's not doing that for me.

    If you click auto credit it brings you to the race plane, and then if you do it again, it brings you here. If you keep pressing it, you loop here to the other one endlessly, at least for me anyway. @JohnnyBoythePilot

    My racer was taken out in the 4th bracket. It crashed 2 times in the exact same turn/spot on the track. It kept crashing at the second sharp turn, which is really strange because I specifically design Black Phantom to make the sharp turns on the course. Either way it didn't matter because had Black Phantom survived to the end, Presto would easily beat it.

    I just find it's crashes really strange, and it was very reliable on my PC.

    I think it was EarthwormJim but during the twitch live stream of the race, when my racer started it's first match, when he saw my racer, he suggested Black Phantom should be reported for looking like Black Mamba by Tully2001. I told him it's completely built from scratch and I didn't copy anyone. Also thanks!
