Upcoming description: This is definitely not an easy snap-together kit to build; only serious people with lots of patience and the drive to see the end reward should build this. I might get penalized a ton for all the little things and nudging you have to do with the model, but my original intentions weren't even to join the challenge, but rather leave it. A lot of patient work is required to achieve the end goal - it takes me 45 minutes to assemble one kit, and for you guys probably an hour, since you are not gifted with the knowledge of exactly what to do.
There are 60 pieces to this kit and two possible stands you can pick from- a vertical display stand or a horizontal staged view stand. I based it off my 1/144 Revell kit. I did have a lot of fun with this challenge idea, so thanks to Falken for that. Many pieces simply “click” together as long as you do special movements, but some require nudging. I have pre-subdivided the parts so that you can create the scale color pattern easily.
Note: This is DIFFERENT from the functional Saturn V I plan on posting, which currently is in WIP form and has 1,200 parts, along with the Launch Umbilical Tower (not a kit). The one thing I stole from that Saturn V was the LES system.
Actual elapsed time: 45 minutes
For the Airfix Challenge
Decals and Instructions still needed
If you're wondering how many penalties I'm going to incur cause of all the nudging, I originally didn't plan on joining the challenge so many challenge rules are violated
1 question - What's up with the weight rules (2 points off per 100lb weight), and no mass editing? Rambo's is 4,320lb which means he would get 86 points deducted, and my model approaches similar limits.
@BnanaX No custom code
That's why Wake, Wuhu, and Rainier don't have the same android versions as PC. PC versions of those mods have custom coded levels, which is not supported by the new 1.9 android. If you have those android versions they don't come with levels.
The Kat... and 7825 ones should be compatible. We use an old version of the mod tools and have the Android SDKs and an NDK to support 64 bit, however no custom code. That’s why none of the 7825 mods with levels have Android, as they are coded in

@jamesPLANESii The map's directly from nintendo, which I don't think any mod uploaded here has used content directly from them. I just think there will be a lot of issues if I upload this
Android version is a "lite" version, and does NOT require ModSettings - it splits the map into 2 versions, one with and one without turrets (takes more resources).
It is untested - download at your own risk - you assume responsibility for any issues.

@Falkenwut Sorry. I meant MassScale

What kind of MP Server you hosting?
So I’ll lose 5 points constant, no matter how many parts are drag scaled? @Falkenwut

Cool!
Tried it in Rainier but I wasn’t able to align the terrain to the mesh that well@AstleyIndustries
@ACEPILOT109 Thanks!
Interesting design!
ACEPILOT109, what is the Simpleplanes Font? I've been trying to find it for a year now lol
Hey, this still going on?
Just like the Tully post said, you can post it as unlisted and share the link @ThatsAHotTopic

Your plane passes the lag check!
@gaw22pilot Then make it public.
Please use "redirect"

@gaw22pilot As we speak, I'm finishing up the Island Flyover, ported to SP as a level
Fine, but this plane doesn't work well...
Haven't done lag checks though
Check out this WSR basic plane to go along with the map!
As well as this one!
Level with iPoints is OUT for PC!

Hi! No missiles are allowed for the challenge
There you go
@ThatsAHotTopic 800 for the LUT alone, thats the one I used in MP
@Planeacceleration Yes!
@Nerfaddict If you're running android, that might be a problem
@Bob9998 I like how it is, based on the bicycle level
WSR bicycle, skip to 2:48
SP Wuhu skip to 2:45
@Nerfaddict @Dllama4 Well... I released it so you can give it a try
@Brendorkus @Chancey21 @Ultra0 Well... I released it so you can give it a try

@Chancey21 Yes, people seem to like it, but the map model is directly from Nintendo. There are Wuhu mods for other games like GTA though...

@An2k Yeah, I'd like to outfit it with missiles but they aren't allowed for the tournament
Hello! No missiles are allowed for the challenge.
Interesting- what RC models have you been building?
I will be running “lag” checks soon to ensure that your craft does not lag the game when firing. Thanks!
To check yourself, a good example of conservative gunnery is my example aircraft for this challenge
