Overspeeding glitch: Usually happens on planes with big wings. Due to overstressing of the wings, it glitches out, and then the wings produce thrust. Before you know it, it tears up to pieces.
Tsk. I can nudge (hence the octaprop configuration) and I'm on mobile. My entry weighed 16,000 pounds because of the attachments for the camera trick to work. But why can my plane hit 752?If it wasn't for the AI exaggerating the controls then I would've won my first match.
AND GUESS WHAT.... I'M ON MOBILE. ANDROID AND NO MODS.
@Typhlosion130 @Tully2001 If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't have hit that speed :D
@Valkyrie A tip of building neat and powerful planes...
VARIABLE PITCH
Set the pitch control to manual, make it respond to throttle, and set the pitch range scale to 75%. This gives better acceleration (as you can see my plane accelerates very fast... 400-750mph in 5 seconds.)
WING LOADING.
Aim for a very low wing loading (20.0lb/sq.ft) because, as the all powerful WIKIPEDIA says,
"Lower wing loading, more maneuverability in pitch."
That is why I made thick, staggered biplane wings so the wing loading is around 17lbs/sq.ft.
ROLL FOR YAW.
Vertical stabilizers may be important, but rudders are not. Why not use the rudders to slap big fat ailerons? This is also beneficial, so the main wing has more elevator than aileron.
Well those are my three tips for the next competition mate.
@Valkyrie Here are the problems, and the solutions:
Problems:
1.Plane not pulling up hard enough
2.CoM and CoL is too far apart
Solutions:
1. Make the wings larger (more wing area=less wing loading=harder pull)
2.Put the wings a bit aft (the CoL and CoM should be within the main wing)
3.CANARDSSSS!!!!! (pitch assist)
@Athugamer2902 Well thank you for testing it on the computer.... :D
@Racrandall Yup... I heard thumping before it crashed into hell.
@Typhlosion130 Dude you didn't tell me this ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Like lol whats the point on hatin you
PHILIPPINES :D
Just checked it out.... Wait, I was referring to the Curse Simpleplanes Wiki.
simpleplanes.gamepedia.com
@Lucasmah The wiki can be a good information source for newbies, just like in the MC wiki, where they also feature quirks in the game.
I can help :D

@Typhlosion130 @Tully2001 If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't have hit that speed :D
@Racrandall Yeah, I thought of that as well. But yeah I stuck with the SSM because it was fast.
@Valkyrie Salute!
Ohh yes I've seen that in action! Great plane!
@crxtsp The engines can intersect (hence coaxial props) but for the sake of drag, they nudge the poop outta their planes
@Valkyrie my opponent was @InterStellarENT...44 - WO9T3.... Congrats mate!
@AstleyIndustries Do you mean XML nudging? Can you teach us how?
@Valkyrie I feel you mate. I failed HARD.

@Valkyrie I have no problem with speed, maneuverability is the main problem.
I couldn't blame myself for losing the first match. Anyway this is my first time, and most successes begin with failures.
@crxtsp because it isn't modded. It may look like it's modded, but it's possible with a bit of logic.
I bet the winner is @Typhlosion130
Good luck mate!
@Valkyrie 754.... But yeah, I lost to 44- WO9T3 (InterStellarENT)
@InterStellarENT Yeah, it was a daunting task to build an octaprop configuration. And it was heavy, too.
Congratulations by the way. My plane lacked reliability.
@InterStellarENT Good luck.
I better see it tomorrow (tonight for Americans). I gotta sleep.
That match was slooooooow
Second plane of the Borealys program.
Russian accent I tell you my friend this is from my homeland... Dat hairdo guy is stealing our big loot
I upvoted because of the name. 😂😂😂😂
@Quintasoarus Holy cow. Our match is Bracket 2
@IAmTau Amen.
LET'S ROCK!!!
@Valkyrie this looks awesome! Hope we don't get matched. Our odds are... One in 272.
@mrniceguy Oh cool. Thanks!
But apparently I was waiting on the Jundroo YT channel.
@AndrewGarrison Where's the live stream?
Gotta stay up late... Till 12
@Quintasoarus What time does the competition start in the US? Mine starts at 9:30pm, Philippine Standard Time.
@Quintasoarus May I try for myself?
@LiamW Jundroo. All of the races, including some announcements, are posted there.
@f1racing6 Would you mind letting me see your plane?
@f1racing6 Oh yes, unfortunately I did not straighten the kinks out. Because there are none :D

@Valkyrie Phone lag? Set everything to "Low" in Quality Settings.
@LiamW Why name your plane to long lol
"kool speedy quad prop thingymajiggymabob"
It destroyed my phone lol
At least the AI took revenge and flew it into the trench walls.
@HBirdmanAATL Yup, same results.
This would be an "explosive" tournament. Hahahaha!
@LiamW 750 and 33% chance of successfully finishing :3
@Quintasoarus Overspeed glitch.
@Typhlosion130 In the Philippines, Internet is a turtle.
@Typhlosion130 I'd rather post it on Facebook.
@Typhlosion130 but how? I cant post photos here somehow.
