@Lixcuudis no. You just have to replicate all the cool features of the plane you replicate, and find new ways to build things. You will be docked if you build the same old way that already exists in many iterations, and have no custom and/or interactive features.
@BasicAerospace10 The design of the wings is also bad for the challenge. It has ZERO wing sweep for the most part, which doesn’t do well for speed and agility. Also, how many points do you give for each criterion? This info helps make the challenge more fair and lets participants know what to prioritize when building.
@TheTomcatters Click and read the stream of comments about what some players and a mod thinks of this kind of challenges
Ngl, this is an example of a bad challenge. I suggest you ask more experienced players for advice when grading the challenge. Also, you literally copied @EternalDarkness 's desc. So that's where the advice came from. I tagged the Moderator because I think this is becoming point mining. Clearly, you put next to no effort into this. At least you bothered to not use the default cockpit and you bothered to copy three paragraphs. I don't think this is enough.
After you copied and changed it a bit, you didn't even bother to proof your "own" description. There are no categories for this contest, yet you said:
I will allow one entry per user per category
no
I am not trying to bully you. After all, I am only silver, and basically no one notices me. The point is, you do not deserve to get points for copying three paragraphs from a more well respected player. As a final note, Eternal did not give ten points for a paint job.
As a message to Eternal, if you are reading this, I hope this is not hate speech. If it is, I sincerely apologize and I accept the consequences.
@BnanaX I get it now. You used FT code, so all you have to do is replace Throttle in your FT with the thing I sent you, put between (parentheses). However, beware of the fact that wings can snap due to the high torque at higher altitudes.
@BnanaX The throttle levers? If so, yes. Use Throttle for all but engines
Th thing is, we are only multiplying thrust because it is what the game does not do for us. Therefore even when thrust is multiplied you can pretend it isn't
@BnanaX If you have issues, try using this as input for the engines: Throttle*((0.5*TAS/IAS)+0.5)
This is funky trees. Not that hard. TAS/IAS is 1 at sea level, and increases as air density decreases. Other than that, it is self-explanatory.
With this multiplier in, it means that at cruising altitude, throttle output is about 1.5x that of sea level.
And ohhhhhh I’m sooooo close to 3k XD
@BnanaX DO I SEE MASS TAGGING? XD
Good airplane. However, you should use funky trees to increase the thrust of the engines at higher altitudes because in theory, you need to apply less thrust during cruise than on takeoff. Also, you NEVER apply full thrust for more than three minutes, and I'm sure 3-minute flights do not live up to this long-range potential.
@SimpleSW CRJ700s only have short wings because it was massively stretched from the CRJ200. Plus, regional airliners isn't this stereotypical always-the-same mold, it is a plane that carries a certain number of passengers.
@EternalDarkness You also talked about the home page. How does that work? I have an airplane with 25 upvotes, but when I click "MORE", my plane is not on the second page, where there is another plane with 25 upvotes. Why could that be?
but I think sometimes some of the challenge organizers are also like spam who use challenge to get good entries and get successor points from it yet judge the entries poorly.
indeed. Check if the user hosting the challenge is experienced enough to rate entries before entering.
Yes.
I have fallen for this before, and I have made a change to my own challenges lol. I hope more people can do this because I know most people cannot judge challenges well (even some silver and gold who get their fame by posting lots of effortless spam)
@yodudechase we need another A340 on the site
@ParziParziTheVal ok lol
Well, my post stall plane is already STOL enough
@ParziParziTheVal I'll just tilt engines 89.9° then lloooollllll
@Lixcuudis no. You just have to replicate all the cool features of the plane you replicate, and find new ways to build things. You will be docked if you build the same old way that already exists in many iterations, and have no custom and/or interactive features.
@FireFast212 Thank you!
@DPSAiracraft Thank you for the upvote and spotlight!
@BasicAerospace10 At least look at someone else’s
@BasicAerospace10 If you are a newbie that is the PRECISE reason why you should NOT host a challenge
@BasicAerospace10 The design of the wings is also bad for the challenge. It has ZERO wing sweep for the most part, which doesn’t do well for speed and agility.

@BasicAerospace10 I am not trying
Should I let EternalDarkness give you a lecture on challenges lol?
@GuyFolk ok
@BasicAerospace10 You need grading criteria lol
This is also too specific.
You are also guilty of mass tagging lol
@EternalDarkness
Me: speechless

NO.
@Ayvieyation As long as it is practical. By realistic I mean you can't have a plane as small as an ant.
@BnanaX Well, it worked perfectly fine on a normal engine for me lol
Ohhhh @BnanaX
Maybe it’s something about the electrical engines?
150th upvote!

@Kekko ah kk.
Then change the name to just “Citation”
CCX is a model in the CC family.
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook What is @BogdanX 's system? he removed all his challenge posts lol
@BnanaX DO I SEE MASS TAGGING? XD

@Kekko This is like an older model of citation.
@Kekko Nice plane, but I think the CCX has winglets lol
@26badgers yes
@tsampoy haha lol
@tsampoy Well, you already replaced the ENTIRE DESCRIPTION so I cant tell lol
@tsampoy I'll pour both at the same time XD
@TheTomcatters Seriously, a paint job is worth as much as performance and design? I think you should rethink ur point guidelines.
@BoeingFan737 ah lol
This is a good replica, except that the A5 is not a taildragger lol
@BoeingFan737 why are u here now?
@SimpleSW CRJ700s only have short wings because it was massively stretched from the CRJ200. Plus, regional airliners isn't this stereotypical always-the-same mold, it is a plane that carries a certain number of passengers.
@47parzival41 Thank you for the spotlight!
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook @WNP78 Even if I am logged in, it still doesn't show it
And yes, please try removing the beta tag
Thanks for the help!
@EternalDarkness I just copied the exact same thing into the forum post and it worked.
@EternalDarkness
Well then I think the home page is rigged
And how come I can't post pictures in comments?
I make a post to show you then.
here
@EternalDarkness You also talked about the home page. How does that work? I have an airplane with 25 upvotes, but when I click "MORE", my plane is not on the second page, where there is another plane with 25 upvotes. Why could that be?

@Delphinos So this does not land on land?
@KLM_747 I have a question. Your username KLM 747 but why is your profile picture an American 757?
@SupremeDorian Ok.
@yoshicraze Thanks for the spotlight!
@Totogeloy0312 Better not spam
@EternalDarkness ok
@EternalDarkness look below
Yes, he posted the spam twice
