@f1racing6 the tournament start point and some other things are surely different between tournament and race. Testing it's a good aid, but not 100% like the tournament, and this is a fact. ;)
@GrumpyRacing yes but... the glitch it's activated by the heavy load of fuel in the wings. And the fuel will be removed. I tried the plane without it, and it become a normal plane.
@Tully2001 we are near, but I fear that the real limit it's very very far to our times. I'm pretty sure we can go under 1 minute and half, and maybe much faster. There is not the coded limit of propellers, a glider it's like a jet, can go supersonic. Can we go supersonic in eagle pass? I think someone with a long tuning can go supersonic. Maybe with the glitch of flapping wing we can reach 900 mph.
The great question is: Is there an actual limit? And how far we are? In over twenty days, can we go supersonic? Can we go under one minute? In a couple of days all the peoples switched the comments from "it's impossible to complete" to "3 minutes limit are too few time" to final "i'm at 1.50 but I must improve because peoples are faster than me".
@AndrewGarrison the "opponent" side is remarcably faster than "player" side because "opponent" is highest, and have more energy to convert in speed. I suggest to put the two planes at same level.
@EternalDarkness just tried your suggestion. It work but not perfectly (the light glow a little bit inside the part where I retract them), but at present it's still the better way to do the job.
@ChiChiWerx you are absolutelly right, but... a real plane have much more than 8 switch :P I have used all the 8 AGs (3 of them twice ehehehe). Untill we will have at least 20 AGs (form 1 to 0, and from 1 to 0 + alt, IE) I must optimize the 8 I can use.
If I will reach quarters, I will be happy. :) I think will be a lot of tought competitors. The prop class is much more competitive than unlimited... I love this class. But the problem will be the very long time that tournament will take.
@AndrewGarrison do you think that will be splitted in two days, or only
one long run?
@Typhlosion130 Nope, there is no tricks, but it requide a little bit of piloting skill. You must only "bounce" on water, like if you are landing. :P Try it.
OK guys... the pictures is a pure props engines plane (no jets) with no xml modding and no mods. I bet you can tell me how you can go supersonic with a prop plane ;)
@Rambusa you must shave at least 17 seconds to run at high level, i fear... more if you want an hope to win. I'm around 2'13'' but i know i have no chanche.

@f1racing6 the race is one fact, the tournament another. We cant be sure untill Andrew confirm it.
@AndrewGarrison do the fuel be removed, or only not used? If removed the flapping wings glitch will not start. We are asking it.
@ABC123
@GrumpyRacing
@GrumpyRacing I'm in the 1' 48 club, but I cant shave a single second. :/ BTW I fear someone can go way faster than this.
@GrumpyRacing yes but... the glitch it's activated by the heavy load of fuel in the wings. And the fuel will be removed. I tried the plane without it, and it become a normal plane.
12 drag, i'm near to my personal limit. If someone do better, nice work.
Guys, please, can you confirm that collision disabled is ammitted?

@Tully2001 Yes, you need. :P
@mikoyanster no problems mate, no problems... ;)

@Alienbeef0421 i think not. Only xml mod allowed is disabling collision
@BogdanX Thanks, I will look in, and will learn how to do it. :) Thanks lot.
@Joco80 Thanks lot, my friend.
@Joco80 Yes, in xml.
@Sarpanitu sadly they are on when retracted and off when extacted, and I need vice versa.
@ChiChiWerx https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/ce4eJt/SNAW-F-607-canard
I think I already joined what I can. Simply I need more AGs. :)

@AudioDud3 This is a record! :D
@EternalDarkness OK... this can be a way, I will try. Thanks.
@SteadfastContracting I'm tuning an amphibious version of this plane. ;)
@SteadfastContracting thanks lot mate! :D
@AndrewGarrison https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/3Qz92v/Checkmate-Glider-4-1-ali-limitate
@AstleyIndustries i have not free ag :(
@LatteCoffee55 Link the light to gear is already XML editing, but "invert=True" or "reverse=True" does not work.
Awesome, dude!
@AndrewGarrison It use a bug. Wings fluttering. At any hard corner, it goes about 900 mph.
@beastpilot124 usually there is a little bit of wait.
@Alienbeef0421 let see if this time something is better than usual...
@Visify do not forget he is streaming during races... fps drops during streaming
As usual, Andrew's PC will hate me. My settings are right, but a 100% reliable plane on my pc, crash during tournament. I think it's fps related.
Le jeux son fait...
six minutes left.
I like the simple design of this plane.
@AlmerTheEngineer I was unable to go under 51 drag points. :(
@SuperSanic I can't wait. :) I like prop class tournaments... I like to see other competitors too.
If I will reach quarters, I will be happy. :) I think will be a lot of tought competitors. The prop class is much more competitive than unlimited... I love this class. But the problem will be the very long time that tournament will take.

Just ruined the original, I think. :(
@Rambusa you must shave at least 17 seconds to run at high level, i fear... more if you want an hope to win. I'm around 2'13'' but i know i have no chanche.
I hope I can reach at least quarter. :) My entry is good, but I fear not enought to win.
My entry is perfect on my PC, but it crash on my mobile. I can only pray for the IA on Andrew's PC.
173 competitors. Average time, I think 2'30''? Let's think to 180 competitor, because some one can still entrer.
90 match. 3 attempt each. 7'30'' each. More than 11 hours for the first bracket... with some crash, maybe 8 hours. For the first one!
This will be a LOOOOOONG tournament. :)
@AndrewGarrison "Must be an original (ie - not a predecessor of another player's plane)" you mean "successor", arent you?
Entered. I fear mid air collisions, but not more than this, I hope. :)
@SteadfastContracting thanks for spotlights me. :)
