I think the real limit 'll be under one minute. It's too easy to cut away dozen of seconds from the time. At present I'm at 1:12 but it was really simple to achieve it. Maybe someone (not me) will achieve a time like 0.55...
@SpiritusRaptor Nope, I closed the game and shut down pc, and turn pc on and open the game, and the ring 17 is now a killer. Nothing variated between the two attempts
I surrender. Yesterday the plane was perfect. Today it miss a ring ad hit the wall at ring 17. The plane is the same, the pc is the same, the race is the same, the sparring partner is the same. OK, there are parameters out of my controll
@BRuthless With all the engines inside the plane, I'm running about 1050+ with a good consistency. ;) Thinking at something "normal" but funcional is part to be a good designer.
Submitted my version, not the fastest, but stable. I published visible to all a version used as sparring partner. ;) But the successor is not visible. :P
I'm unable to achieve a stabile fly at the last rings. :) If I'll reach this result, my plane will be under 1.10, but... last rings was done like a drunk pilot. The fuel is already on COM, so is not a movement of COM due to fuel usage. Any ideas?
@AndrewGarrison may I suggest to code a timelimit after that the race is a draw? Like two minuts, so there is no LOOOOOONG match between planes that both flies at 300 mph?
It was an hard work, but finally I have a jet generation that can win against my Silver Needle V8. The frame is nice, and I'll start to develope new versions. :D
@AndrewGarrison
1) Is the XML modding of thrust port's angle allowed?
2) Is the "missing ring" bug fixed in the actual race?
Thanks
@Seeras Nice, isnt it? :D And is absolutelly legit!
Bad news travel fast.

Why my planes pass all the rings, but the count says I miss 3? And two are on the final bridge, impossible pass OUT them.
@AndrewGarrison Modded engine
@AndrewGarrison this is a copy of https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/GYL0yj/The-Egg-Beater-v6-0 and is in the race.
Very unfair
@Pauciloquent absolutelly agree, my entry will not win but will bring a lot of fun to me, and i hope to all, when it will fly
@Pauciloquent as usual, will win who can reach the finish line. :(
The rallenty (Key "L") cause almost ever a perfect but boring fly, so... maybe the CPU usage or the free memory can affect the AI?

@Pauciloquent A mid air boom become sure! :D
@BRuthless A good designer achieve good performance with normal things before thinking out of normality. My two cents.
@General360 Thakns general! salute

@BRuthless Mod = OK, but I think in this one is unfair.
@Pauciloquent I think this thing must be not allowed.
Submitted my version, not the fastest, but stable. I published visible to all a version used as sparring partner. ;) But the successor is not visible. :P
@Pauciloquent 10 and 17... bring the COM backward, and you fix them. But start to ess around the shark tooth rings.
@Pauciloquent I think the AI should have a cheeseburger in mind...
The ones around shark tooth @Pauciloquent
I can't go under this, and this is really inconsistant. About 50% success. I will fly with a slower one. :(

Hum... when used by "opponent AI" it crash like a lot of other attempts. On your PC it flies better? @AndrewGarrison
235 competitors and it's still open... O.o
@Pauciloquent Hard to achieve 1.15, my fastest is under 1.20 but far from 100% success
I'm very near. @Pauciloquent
@Geekpride perfect
@Pauciloquent I call it Artificial Idiocy. Must I add something:? :)
@Thefalloutplayr No way for me to win against you? But I'm still working on.. no problems.. ;)
Try to enter in my jet glider contest...
@Sushisailor Maybe you planes are derived from other players one, or are xml modded?
Is there a page where all the "non secret" entry are visible?
@AndrewGarrison may I suggest to code a timelimit after that the race is a draw? Like two minuts, so there is no LOOOOOONG match between planes that both flies at 300 mph?
Is the xml modding of movement angle of thrust port allowed? (I need to reduce it from 90 to less than 90, like 45 or so)
@ChaMikey Yep, but those are all known problems. :) My post is a possible solution for one of those.
Maybe inserting half second of rallenty at the start the problem will be fixed...
The Horten brothers 'll be proud of you.. ;)
@BRuthless Uh... i'm sorry mate. :(
It was an hard work, but finally I have a jet generation that can win against my Silver Needle V8. The frame is nice, and I'll start to develope new versions. :D
Well done, my friend! :D
@bskngshrk it's ok
@AndrewGarrison Are Weight Eliminators allowed?
less parts for mobile user
About 10 seconds of fuel... why this useless mod? ;)
@@Bmw1230 We are lucky, the successor system let's we know when someone sneak. ;)
"oh, wow!"
Love this design..
