Now that more people are aware of the bug, I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how people can use it to their advantage. I'm going to allow it for the next tournament and see how it goes.
@Baldovino I looked into it and I see the issue, they are just slightly different altitudes. I'm sure it does make a difference when you guys are competing at a level when such a small amount of time can win or lose, but unfortunately I cannot do anything about it for this tournament without risking different behavior in the tournament build.
@Cadin I'm not sure that you could change the base water, but maybe you could create a plane or cube that sits just above the water and has an ice texture and low friction physics material.
@Alienbeef0421 I considered Eagle Pass once.....but the races are just so incredibly slow, and then half the planes crash at the very end. It's painful to watch.
You were matched up in the first round with another very strong competitor. Very unfortunate to have such a close match setup so early in the tournament! Good race and nice plane.
@Camroncs I don't have that information, but if you open up the aircraft's XML in a text editor, like Notepad++, you can search for scale= and see all the offending pieces. (Ignore rearScale and frontScale, those are permissible and used by fuselage pieces).
@Tully2001 @MRstadlles @SuperSanic @Champ9961 @Alienbeef0421 @SkullsAndCrossbones New tournament is up guys. Everyone had a different suggestion, so I just picked something else entirely as to not show any favoritism!
@JovianPat Hard to say, you'd have to ask the MP mod guys.
@JovianPat No problem, I'm just glad you got it figured out and there's not an underlying bug!
This is very strange. After you disabled mods, did you quit and re-open SimplePlanes?
@JovianPat It explodes on mine as well. Does it explode on yours if you enter slow mo mode (key 'L') quickly when entering the level?
@carrot2110 thanks :)
Can you share the design unlisted so I can take a look at it.
Feel the vibrations!

Awesome work!
@SkullsAndCrossbones nope
@FearlessFabEngineering You can re-position, and rotate with XML modding (or using Fine Tuner), but you can't scale or anything else.
I just ran a validation check on this tournament. If you did not receive a notification then your design is good to go. No news is good news.

@Alienbeef0421 Thanks!
Okay, added a teaser tag for forum posts.

@EliteIndustries1 Good idea, I just added it.

@Baldovino Fuel is removed
@Baldovino Interesting, I'll try and find time to look into that this week, but I'm not sure I will be able to do anything before the tournament.
@t8erh8er Sorry, but the tough news is that if your plane isn't under 3 minutes you won't stand a chance in the tournament.
@CaesiciusPlanes You are up for a feature. Let me know what plane you want me to feature.
@rubbishcraft We will try to avoid featuring a platinum more than once, but that's not to say we will never do it.
@Alienbeef0421 I considered Eagle Pass once.....but the races are just so incredibly slow, and then half the planes crash at the very end. It's painful to watch.
@AgDynamics Please, just stop.
@Typhlosion130 Sounds good to me!
@SimpleFlow Like all of your other builds, it looks amazing and is well beyond what I could ever hope to make in this game!
@Baldovino @EarthwormJim I had never seen it before, but it's not against the rules.
I missed the race, but congrats on the win against my plane!

I just ran the validation. If you didn't receive a notification then your current submission is okay for the tournament. No news is good news.
@Camroncs I don't have that information, but if you open up the aircraft's XML in a text editor, like Notepad++, you can search for scale= and see all the offending pieces. (Ignore rearScale and frontScale, those are permissible and used by fuselage pieces).
@Camroncs You are using PartScale on several parts. Are you using Fine Tuner to scale parts? You can't do any kind of XML modding in this tournament.
@SuperSanic No
Go to the main menu and turn off Video Replay and turn off music. Let me know if that helps any.
@SimpleEric I just ran a rule check. No news is good news. I will do another one in a few days.
@EarthwormJim I did consider making a mod to do that...but I ran out of time. Maybe I can find time to work on that again someday.

@JovianPat yes
@MAHADI Please refer to the tournament guide linked above, it explicitly states what is allowed and what is not.
okay, thanks for letting me know.
@AudioDud3 My plane is super secret.
@Baldovino Right you are. Thank you. I've been copying and pasting that mistake for so many tournaments.....
@Alienbeef0421 i had to check the source code for that one. Nope, must be between 2 and 6 blades.
If upvotes are disappearing, then that would be a bug, but that's very hard to prove or disprove. Maybe the DB server is drunk again.

@KuhneStassen I see. Yes, you can take this design and modify it. Thanks for asking!
Wow, this is incredible!
@SuperSanic What should we do next?
@MLG26 I'm sorry but we can't feature designs on the front page if someone asks....then everyone would just ask to be on the front page!
