@SimpleStudent yes, I will be posting the second forum discussing this soon. I will include maps of the terrain, resources, and geographic importance. You can choose an area of minimal importance regarding these aspects which would mean you arent a key figure in the RP
@Myguyrules it has not started yet though, im developing the maps and rules, timeline, etc. you’ll be tagged on the other posts regarding LRP. But you also need to cast your vote on the RP’s era
@RaySriwijayaAeronautics it means you cannot submit a plane that was uploaded before I made this challenge. Like you cannot submit something from 2 months ago
@Hooha12 The B-1 program was conceived in the mid-1960s under the Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA) requirements, and those original goals were never replaced.
The B-1B is not a new aircraft but a modified continuation of the B-1A, keeping the same variable-sweep wings, basic airframe, crew layout, and four-engine configuration designed in the early 1970s.
These core structural features define an aircraft’s era more than later upgrades.
The bomber reflects 1960s Cold War design philosophy that emphasized speed, range, payload, and manned nuclear penetration rather than stealth-first design.
Although the B-1B added radar-reduction measures and improved low-level flight capability, these were adaptations to new threats, not a complete redesign.
Most of the B-1B’s core systems and architecture were designed decades before it entered service in the 1980s.
Therefore, despite its differences from the B-1A, the B-1B is best classified as a 1960s-era bomber whose design matured later.
@SimplyElegant no, he wanted to join and @ZealousKestrel said theres no more room for new companies, so he merged with Guardian Aerospace. I promise you it has absolutely 0 relation with what you made
@Hooha12 in a way, yes. But the B-1A and B-1B still have their Same origin and design rooted in the 60s. It’s a 60s design, not a completely different kind of plane like the F15E compared to the F15A
@Hooha12 I already told Graingy abt this one so I’ll copy and paste
it’s actually fair to call the B-1 (including the B-1A) a 1960s bomber, even though it didn’t fly until the ’70s. The program started in 1964, and almost everything that defines the aircraft—swing wings, Mach 2 flight, low level penetration, terrain following radar, and its nuclear mission—comes straight out of late 1960s Cold War era. By the time the B-1A first flew in 1974, the design was already years old; the 70s part is mostly testing and politics, not a new concept. So while it shows up on the timeline in the ’70s, it’s really a bomber designed in the ’60s and finished later, not something conceived as a 1970s aircraft.
I was going to make this, but i chose not to. Next year ig
Merry Christmas!
+1Very large ramp
+1@TitanVector Merry Christmas!
+1@SimpleStudent yes, I will be posting the second forum discussing this soon. I will include maps of the terrain, resources, and geographic importance. You can choose an area of minimal importance regarding these aspects which would mean you arent a key figure in the RP
+1@CaptainNoble fr, im getting WritersCrusadersAirco vibes
@GalmTwoPixy just ask a mod or curator to do it
@Myguyrules it has not started yet though, im developing the maps and rules, timeline, etc. you’ll be tagged on the other posts regarding LRP. But you also need to cast your vote on the RP’s era
@Myguyrules yes, anyone can join at any time
@RedeemedSPer fr, it was a good run. I hope this one will last just as long, 24 ppl in already is great
No.
@P26Peashooter yes
Mustard
+1@StraitAircraft no problem
@StraitAircraft if it was developed in the 60s its allowed
+1Never expected to see my nose design still being used to this day lol
Spectacular work. Very well executed design. I love it
+1@RaySriwijayaAeronautics it means you cannot submit a plane that was uploaded before I made this challenge. Like you cannot submit something from 2 months ago
@RedeemedSPer fr, it was doomed to die after all these RP’s took off. At least it made it 9 months. 1938-1971 was a good run
The B1 hype lately is very satisfying for me
@TheRLAF only after new years 🙏
Gotta wait until the great meme reset
Btw i never expected ts to get 66 upvotes, its my 2nd most upvoted build now
I was originally going to use the RD Mudrunner for my LRAD-88 system in KE since RD is Spinnish and Your-panese, so ig these two are related now
+1Officially my favorite build on the site now
@avDude4 yes, and I love it
+1This is spectacular.
+1@PhantomBoltSP alr, ur choice
@RayL1011 “Your build(s) must be usable and must include a short description explaining how it fits the theme.”
@DoctorNowhere U should ask a mod to make it a successor
@TheRLAF just one more month until ill let it happen 🥀
@Hooha12 you’re welcome
@Hooha12 I mean, sure. It’s like taking a car from 2022, modifying it, and saying its from 2025. Still a 2022 model car, so yes u can do that ig

@WinsWings Thank you very much
+1@tetozz no problem
@Jetmaker alright, no problem.
@TitanVector okay then
+1Wait so like where is the general level of technology at? Like 2020s or 1990s or what?
+1@Jetmaker yes. Anything with a development period, test flight, origins, or roots in the 60s is allowed—real and fiction
@SimplyElegant no, he wanted to join and @ZealousKestrel said theres no more room for new companies, so he merged with Guardian Aerospace. I promise you it has absolutely 0 relation with what you made
@PZLAgencies yeah thats what i meant, not that he’s a mod
+2@BlackGearCompany ill make a second forum tagging the people participating here
+1@PZLAgencies both work, Seeras still does that though
+1@SimplyElegant what?

Very tuff, looks like an APC with a Radkampfwagen turret
@BlackGearCompany well 50s isnt listed, as each choice jumps by 20 years. Would u want ww2 and then wait a little until the 50s? Or just the 60s?
+1@PeralaandskaVIAM1985 im making a map dont worry, it has very specific geography based on the region. But your vote has been counted
+1@Kav @Hooha12 @blin1blyat alright votes counted
+2@SPsidearm i will 👍
@Hooha12 thanks
