I've deleted about 15 of my own, mostly forums and a few planes that were related. I think 2 of mine have gotten removed by the mods, one was because of encouraging ppl to upvote stuff, the other one was because I didn't make any changes to something (it was a weird scenario).
Also several comments, all of them were just me trying to defuse an argument as opposed to reporting it. Not sure if this counts as it was more the whole conversation that I happened to be part of got removed.
what idek what's happening here.
Bronze is 100,
Silver is 1000,
Gold is 5000,
and Platinum is 25,000.
(I think it's technically 1 point over that but I'm not 100% sure, and for practical purposes it's exactly the same)
Alrighty I like this thing. From the perspective of looks, you couldn't really ask for too much more realism without a pretty high part count. It handles really, really well. My gold prix time was 1:03 on my first attempt, and I could almost certainly hit sub 1 minute if I really tried. (Edit: I managed to get 52 seconds.) While the performance is really good, it is not terribly realistic. I never had to brake and rarely had to let off the gas, meaning I took pretty much every curve at 200 mph. Also, the 0-60 speed is like 1.5 seconds, which I won't dock points for but is worth noting.
Overall, performance is a solid 10/10 as it has clearly been well tuned and quite a bit of time has been spent on it. Unfortunately, realism did not rank as high, earning only a 5/10 due to handling.
Overall, this build got a 15/20, a solid entry by any means.
Outside of the criteria of this challenge, this is a phenomenal build that I really like.
Good work and good luck as more entries come in.
@All i figure I'll probably rate it pretty soon then the average will be the overall score if that works for you.
Also keep in mind the main judging categories are just performance and realism
Where is this video clip from? Looks like some Ace Combat thingy other than that I can't think of any realistic reason for that to work as a cut scene. If it's real, they're breaking like 9500 safety codes lol
@SILVERPANZER 1) it's fine to play the game however you want to. For instance, I don't try to chase internet points (anymore) and I'm happier that way.
2) yeah your point about social significance is sadly spot on. I find myself surprised when a bronze or silver player posts something halfway decent. However, it is important to realize that as EternalDarkness told me once, the points system is meant as "an indicator of skill and popularity". And chasing this number is just a way to try and convince yourself you have that skill and popularity. That said, point count can be a terrible indicator of skill and popularity at times.
@ToeTips oh yeah I was gonna reply but I totally forgot; sorry about that.
So how this thing works is there are a few different variables:
Off the top of my head, there are [input]control, RPM, and Battery. Battery is obviously the most important one, and it is in fact a few seperate expressions that could be combined into one. I don't remember exactly, but one of them basically says "if pitch, yaw, or roll are not equal to zero, the battery goes down a little bit. Otherwise, it stays at its current level."
Another expression says that if the Total RPM of the rotors is higher than 40 (arbitrary number), the battery will recharge. For your car, you don't need any of my RPM variables, you can probably just use GS or IAS as those will be a good indicator of whether or not the wheels are turning.
There's one more that just clamps it between 0 and 100, if you manage to combine the other two expressions into one expression this should be very easy to incorporate into the others.
The [input]control variables are used as inputs for their respective control surfaces, and basically what they do is say "if the battery is at zero, don't move. Otherwise, move like normal."
I hope this cleared it all up, this code is quite messy and not very self explanatory. If you have any questions let me know, you're honestly probably better at FT than me anyway lol
@EternalDarkness hmm ok I'll take it down if you think it's that bad.
Is this really ban-worthy tho? Never heard about somebody getting banned for encouraging mass upvoting. Heck, there was a whole mass upvote party for jamesplanes a while back. I'll delete this post after you respond. edit: nvm dis post is ded
yea I would agree with your post. If you want to play for internet points, go ahead, but you will gain nothing except internet points (kinda useless imo). If you chase after some superficial form of fulfillment, you're not going to get anything out of it in the end.
The "I'm leaving" posts are funny to me.
I personally have posted two. One was a stupid "I'm leaving the website for three days but don't worry I can still access it on my computer."
That was the most cringe thing I've ever said, and I later deleted it.
The second one was to inform some people that were asking for screenshots that I would not be available to help them for a little while. The second one actually served a purpose, the first one was not useful in any way and is actually quite embarrassing.
yeah nobody notices or really cares if you miss a day.
It is a fast way to get lots of internet points though, if you can consistently get 5 upvotes a day you'll have platinum in a year. But at what cost?

No

Out of mine and @All's judging, this adds up to a 23/30. Good work!

@DatMaluchGuy19 nice! I'm first on the list!
it probably is possible but it takes some funky trees stuff I'm not smart enough to pull off.
@SpamtonGSpamton ah
I think it can happen automatically if ppl spam report it, if you didn't have anything offensive in there you might ask the mods to put it back
@SpamtonGSpamton nice but what exactly is the tag for

Nice

+1See how long it takes for the comment section to get obliterated by the mods
@Majakalona here's a tutorial I made if you want to try it out yourself
+1I can do it if you tag me on an unlisted
Ok but I am 32 🥒
+1It’s to let you know it got curated, which as a bonus means you get double points from upvotes
+1@Majakalona ah I see.
+1discouraging comment
Thisisajokepleasedon’tblockmekthxbye
@Graingy yes I am sure it will actually show your actual face and not a singular grain of sand.
preposterous!
@Graingy idk who's in there but I hope they get well soon.
Good luck with making the face reveal tho!
@ToeTips that probably is more realistic than what I have going on here.

@ToeTips yeah I was just saying thanks
@ToeTips thanks for the help tho
@ToeTips wait waa how did you comment here?
where that face reveal at
@EternalDarkness hmm ok I'll take it down if you think it's that bad.

lol
0 upvotes waaaaaa?
I would honestly build the uss rizzi lol

No. This is my limit. I refuse.
@Graingy you can't hide.
