Thanks all, mates. All the competitors was great works, anyone do it's better, and this is the best part... all the players was absolutelly fair. Great community!
@ChiChiWerx I did not understand before I started the work. During work I understand how difficult is to do a "fluid" junction between wings and fuselage. And the difficulty is increased by the fact that we can not use the mirror function (or any moving parts are welded to each other by canceling the function). Doing a simmetric fuselage, junctions, wings and 3D over structure on the wings by hand was a pain.
@BogdanX This is absolutelly true, I had a lot problems with the homungus drag due to 3D structure. The plane loss a lot of energy at any single manuver, and in some cases it stall. So I doubled the power of the standard engine.
Surely you did, but did you try to fly without afterburner? With no AB on, I was sure that the speed is not so insane.
@BogdanX partially agree, but If I think to the F-4 or F-111 (more or less this seem about the same "age") they are over Mach 2. By the way, I respect your opinion, and I sayd, partially agree.
There is no limit to the speed you can reach shaking your wings. I lost controll at 5000+ (but it's too fast to complete the tournament, I must fly much slower ... for now)
@Rambusa I'm trying to give all some possibility, because I think this glitch it's unfair. Giving all the possibility to use it, it's a bit better. My two cents.
@SuperSanic fill the wings with fuel, do a slim fuselage and slim wing shape, and balance the weight. Too light and it explode, too heavy and it does not shake.
@Hockeygoalie21 I consider it obviously cheating in glider class (it's a sort of engine) and in prop class (it let a prop plane go over the software limit of 760 mph - the fake sound barrier)
The big, annoying, discouraging SP problem is only the boring switching between editor and xml. I think an internal xml editor and the elimination of the reload to apply modification would resolve it. Doing replicas at present it's a pain.
@marcox43 Your one appear more precise as dolly and landing skid. I was unable to do a landing skid that can resist to a land. I messed up a bit the aerodinamic for a better look, so it flies well, but I think your one can do better.
My 30 mm guns are more or less correct, but it's really hard to hit something with them, unless you are shooting a big bomber flying without manouver. Plus, in simpleplanes, a single bullet usually destroy a plane, also from original guns. So there is no real matter to have a slow big bullet instead a dozen of fast little ones.
A dogfigt between my P-51 and my Me-163 is nice to see, but my P-51 (six normal guns) always win.
Sadly I have no longer so much time... I have some ideas for tournaments, but I fear I would fail in doing my part for all you when you post your planes. :( If only Andrew would relase the tournaments program for free usage from us... :(
Great interpretation of shaker, nice work!
Sharp as a japanise Katana... great work
This plane seem inspired from a WWII nazy project, it's simple but amazing. Great work, mate.
Thanks all, mates. All the competitors was great works, anyone do it's better, and this is the best part... all the players was absolutelly fair. Great community!
@Hockeygoalie21 Thanks mate, all the competitors was well done and deserved to win. I only was lucky
I can't belive, I win? :D
@Geekpride thanks mate
@EliteIndustries1 now it's "SimplePotatoes" :( (No offence for the flying potato)
What is wrong in this plane? :(

@BogdanX Examined the speed problem, and I have not the same data.
1% thrust with no AB I stall @ 115 mph (AG8 disabled)
1% thrust with AB on I barely fly @ 174 mph (AG8 enabled)
Maybe different phisic settings?
@JShay thanks mate

OLD CONCEPT
@LatteCoffee55 thanks
@Externaldarkness Finally I did it... ì'm sorry :D Thanks.
@Externaldarkness does not work. :(
@FearlessFabEngineering Interesting. Thanks. :)

0.35 and surely I can improve. :( I hate shakers. The fast but fair race I was hoping it's gone.
@AndrewGarrison Please, can you confirm that the "shaking glitch" will work in the tournament?
@bspboy it's too heavy. Remove some weight.
@bspboy try to change the total weight of the plane adding or removing deadweight
@bspboy slim body, slim wings, wings fully loaded of fuel, balance the weight (too much and do not shake, to light and explode)
@Alienbeef0421 I think it removed like the race we have in the game. It mark 0%, but it shake anyway.
@Rambusa I'm trying to give all some possibility, because I think this glitch it's unfair. Giving all the possibility to use it, it's a bit better. My two cents.
@Alienbeef0421 i published the previou version to give all the possibilty to study it. It's unfair to do shakers, but at least all you can see one
@Rambusa try with weight variations. more, or less... untill you find the maximum speed without expoding.
I finally flies Eagle Pass under one minute. A supersonic shaker. :(
@SuperSanic fill the wings with fuel, do a slim fuselage and slim wing shape, and balance the weight. Too light and it explode, too heavy and it does not shake.
@Hockeygoalie21 I consider it obviously cheating in glider class (it's a sort of engine) and in prop class (it let a prop plane go over the software limit of 760 mph - the fake sound barrier)
only shakers can go far... :( I did a shaker (and I hate it) and I now get 1:29
@AndrewGarrison I'm still thinking that this glitch must be exluded from tournaments.
LOL, I posted my He-162 about 105 second before you... basically we posted togheter.
My one
Bingo... I published my own just 12 hours ago. :D Your one it's very nice, I really like it. If you want to try my one, it's here:
My one
Just a curiosity... are you too working on a He-162? :P If yes, let's run to buy some lottery tickets... :D
@MrDoolittle interesting... i will try, thanks
@joeysellers thanks Joey, it's always nice to see a Dev upvote a plane. :)
@AviownCorp thanks for Spotlights me. :)
@EternalDarkness Thanks my friend. :)

Relased!

Edited adding VTOL and TRIM... we need to see all. :D
@Treadmill103 :) Thanks
@AndrewGarrison Thanks lot. :)
Notice the pointed nose and the number and shape of wings, remarcably similar... it's modded, but it's - imho - a successor
original
supersonic glider
@AndrewGarrison
@Champ9961 0.44 means way supersonic...
