@AEROSPACE1128 Oh, well you’ve gained some notoriety, and you got on highest rated. You also got enough points to make it to silver, which normally takes some effort. It probably got removed because you were getting so many points with no effort, idk why you kept your points though.
@idkwhatosay It’s okay since you are new and probably don’t know this, but don’t advertise your stuff in the comments unless it was requested (i.e. if someone asks for VTOL builds, then it would be okay for you to give them the link to a VTOL build you made)
@Mousewithamachinegun123 The way I do mine is to use the move tool (in the blueprint menu) to put the screenshot above the build, I then unselect the tool and carefully drag up (to not change perspective at all) until It is lined up
Nice job with the tank! Two suggestions are to change the name to just steel dawn and make the first screenshot one of the entire build, as it would give people more of an idea on what the build actually was (I originally thought it was a destroyer), and also list the controls and all of the activation groups in the description.
Walv!s makes a good tutorial on this

If this is trying to do something following ¡UPLOAD TEST!, it won’t work. I only did that because it was a genuine test as far as we know, not trying to get any upvotes. For me, this was a one-off thing, and it will likely be that way for a lot of people.
If you want to get to silver, focus on making good content.
Note: if this was a genuine test, sorry for the misunderstanding and forget this comment, except the part about good content.
@Catdog613 If you want to make a vtol plane check out this tutorial (it’s what I used to figure out how to make this)

You are welcome to repaint and repost as long as there is an auto-credit (as long as you don’t do anything weird like transfer it to another build it should appear). Also, if you make any changes that are not 100% visual (adding or changing a part in ways other than paint), make sure that the Center of Thrust lines up vertically with the Center of Mass, and test it once you are done.
If you have any questions in making/modifying a vtol plane that the tutorial didn’t answer, reply to me
I only stumbled upon this by pure chance, so you’re lucky that I got to this. It does seem pretty cool, and I’ll upvote it when you re-upload. I also participated in this challenge. PS: delete this post once you successfully re-upload with the auto-credit
This is not a successor of the challenge, so it can’t be judged. In order to make it a successor, copy your entire plane (except your sleek cockpit part) into a subassembly. From there download https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/qFB5R3/Alternate-energy-challange
even though it is just a cockpit. Change out the cockpit if you wish and remove the blocks. Then, put your subassembly into that build space, and add the cockpit to your subassembly/plane. Finally, upload it. You will know if you did it right if you see an auto credit for the challenge. Reply to this is you have any questions or if it doesn’t work.
I just realized that I forgot to remove the fuel from the wings, but I don’t use it at all. Do you want me to re-upload it anyway? (If you want proof it doesn’t use fuel remove all of it in the primary wings)
In order to stop wing flap, you need to use the overload mod. Select the structural wing, open overload, go to the wing tab, and set allowControlSurfaces to “true”. from there, just add control surfaces.
I have a solution, unlike others I found, this allows you to fly around Snowstone with any plane uninterrupted, albeit it does require some setup first

@Spaceflower I made a solution, only requirement is that you must have ice base location, and you must follow instructions, but with this I can disable the ice base and fly around uninterrupted with any plane.
@50CalChicken You are actually able to do an instant reconnection by going into the attachments setting (this can be found via the turn commands, second from the top, looks like a plug going in an outlet) and using “Auto-Reconnect”. Hope this helps
@RenamedUser1964 Wing Flex may destroy Engines if they are attached to the wing by hitting them against the fuselage. It may also shake your plane. P.S. Another way to stop wing flex is to change the wing to “Wing-2” with XML, and reattach the wing

Seriously, please don’t upvote this, upvote D point, as that’s where the idea and all the work came from, I just changed the letter.
Just shows how lenient the game is on what should be able to fly

Sounds like TV static

@Graingy in thickness or length?

@Droopy I have a submission
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/tB6ms9/Dragonfly
Very nice! Love the cockpit. One suggestion though, make it less maneuverable, as it is hard to control.
You will need to do this for every challenge, not just this one
@FLOWyz Being a successor is required. To do this, I gave you instructions. Go to your post to see it
P.P.S while you are at it, remove the fuel in the primary wings.

I just now realized that this is just a more elaborate version of going the distance. Still great though!
@Mousewithamachinegun123 yeah, resizable wheels don’t so I was forced to use fuselages, which turn out to make bad wheels.
@UnicornBunnys You should most likely use gizmos or the cleaver for propulsion, but it will need to be modified with the overload mod (allowed)
@Mousewithamachinegun123 Are props allowed if they are strictly decorative? (Thinking of making a fake wind turbine)
What kind of energy is banned? Is it just the stuff in the “propulsion” tab, or is anything else not allowed?
There appears to be a significant lack of landing gear. Great plane tho!
Note: please give credit if you use the cockpit
You can fly it with wings folded
Did you make this asymmetrical to induce pain?
@Hiimakeplanes that’s what I thought, I was just making sure
@StugnaATGM How does one join the multiplayer? I’m on mobile btw
@Hiimakeplanes there is no maywar on mobile, unfortunately.
@StugnaATGM Can I make an AA tank with missiles, like the one in the convoy?
@SwagAircrafts I made something to help do this w/ the Quadcopter/ Helicopter easier.

@RPG2428 Are you talking about the undermountain docking bay at snowstone?

@Aano78 There is now a discoverable location in ice base
@Spaceflower I made a solution, only requirement is that you must have ice base location, and you must follow instructions, but with this I can disable the ice base and fly around uninterrupted with any plane.
Edit: It also disables lasers

You can't lock onto bridges, you must use things like bombs, rockets, or cannons.
It's available on mobile now
@GrandmasterPotato P.S. send a pic of plane.
@GrandmasterPotato I had a problem like this before, what I would do is is decrease blade diameter.
