Hi @Nash11, and thank you for participating. Here is the evaluation for your build.
Performance - The plane flies with an unnaturally small wings. I don't know what you did with XML modding, but this shouldn't really be the case. The plane is also very unstable, possibly for the same reason. 25/40
Innovation - Your plane has a lot of interesting elements, like the configuration of wings, engines, and landing gear etc, though some of these things may not be practical in real life. 25/30
Design - Practicality and realism is lacking. The nose and wing-mounted gear is also exposed even after retraction. 10/25
Livery - xml modding the fuel tank to change the fuel tank pattern looks pretty good. But this is still just a random bunch of colors 3/5
Description - you provide instructions for your only control, but when I slid VTOL down the wings were immediately destroyed. So much for your description. 6/20
Total:69/120
Once again, thank you for participating. You will receive 3 upvotes plus any you may receive for being on the podium.
Hello @Captaincarroca.
Thank you for participating.
Here is the evaluation for your entry:
Performance: The acceleration and top speed of your vehicle is too slow to be realistic. Some tanks can drive at speeds of 60mph or more. Also, aiming the cannon sideways can flip and destroy the vehicle. 25/40
Innovation: I like how you use the car engines as ammo storage in the rear, and how you use structural panels around the driver's seat. I would, however, like to see more features and interactive parts. 10/30
Design: Your tank looks nice, but, as aforementioned, more engine horsepower would be welcome. The driver is also a little too exposed and in the open. Aside from those (major) disadvantages, your tank would fare pretty well. 15/25
Livery: Nothing to say here. Maybe camouflage would look better. 4/5
Description: You just explain the naming of your build. Nothing else. 2/20
Total:
56/120

@Eiro @JSwannyGaming148 No, no no!!
V/S is vertical speed, not v speeds. V-speeds are airspeeds that describe the specs and performing characteristics of a plane. As 'v-speeds' is plural, they refer to a series of specs of the aircraft. There are too many of them to explain, but wikipedia explains better than me and provide examples. They are collectively called v-speeds because they are designated V and a number/abbreviation.
Also, some of them are more important than others
If you are building an airplane, I suggest you list some or all of these for max points:
V1
V2
VFE for specific flap settings
VLE
VLO
VLOF
VMC
VNE
VR
VRef
VS
@XAircraftManufacturer At your request, the guidelines have been changed to include land vehicles and watercraft. Anything else and maybe the point system may also be changed but I don't want that to happen.
@JSwannyGaming148 But the short time limit is the whole point of this challenge. You can see the link above for the Airliner Challenge. Maybe it's more suitable for you.
I read this before @DPSAircraft
But I don’t have enough time and commitment
I’m a full time student here, even during currently unprecedented times XD
PS were still stuck at home here in the US
@Imsomeone you make a subassembly for your plane, download this, delete all but the cockpit, paste in the subassembly, put in the cockpit of your choice, then set your new cockpit as primary, and upload etc.
@BnanaX Serious disappointment
Sure, the landing gear has problems sometimes.
Please, offer me some constructive critiques if you want to criticize. Just saying it’s bad does nothing but make me sad.
@FireFast212 Sorry about that. I did think it was bullying, but I give my apology as the rules were unclear. Please do include a clear definition of this though to prevent any confusion in the future. Thank you so much! :)
@FireFast212 Please tell me then, what is "new"? You just said "no reposts". This is certainly not a repost, as my previous (work in progress!) build is obviously different. I still spent a lot of time on it. Even if everything is the same (which it isn't), I still went through some degree of effort repainting the whole thing. Not that I'm going to do anything about it, but do make it clear about what is new and what isn't please. After all, there is still only a certain number of parts in SP, so nothing can completely be unique. Plus, my airliner is still a work in progress.
And about the wing pieces, they have abysmal drag already; it’d be unwise to make it thicker @DPSAircraft
About the small fuselage, this is supposed to be a regional jet. For its dimensions, it very closely matches the CRJ1000.
It’s called pitch down??? @DPSAircraft
I’m very confused
EDIT: of course there is a technical name for it. But I don’t know. Either way the result is the plane pitching up.
@Aeromotive @DPSAircraft @WarshipDude
Obviously, I have made some mistakes here.
I’m not qualified to teach you the mechanics of jet engines. You can spend years learning this. But the solution I presented works pretty well and that’s why this post was made. Some of your comments point out that there are mistakes, but I can’t seem to understand all of them.
Cool looking plane! @Pojatlski
It is very impressive... I guess I’ll spotlight it to my very few followers then. It’s very nice to see the work of those who just started, like me.
Thank you @Panzion
Why are (some) people so mean to noobs who don’t know everything about the community? People all start like this. Imagine the bullies getting bullied. They would get mad and all.
(And of course I’m not talking about you if that is not clear)
Probably not @Eiro
The plane has a gyro inside
Also I have a smaller version here
Maybe it has better maneuverability so you can probably tweak it and try yourself.
Plus, I’m pretty sure no airliner has done this.
The engines have so little power the plane can’t even takeoff and the middle main gear makes the airplane slide around on the ground. Also the rudder and nose wheel steering does not work
@QingyuZhou @GritAerospaceSolutionsLTD
@DafaARK that’s fine as long as you don’t make any changes (you kinda can but as long as it’s under 3hr total)
@Nash11 Its fine. I hope you did your best. Your current score of
69/120places you in 1st place (!) as of now.Current Rankings:

@DPSAircraft
I mean maybe yours wings are too small as 150mph should do for a plane this size @Imsomeone
But props don't rotate at 300mph... @Imsomeone
The deadline has now been extended to 9/14 At 12pm UTC.
You can convert this time to your respective time zones.
No exceptions will be made.
@DPSAircraft
I will think about it.
Please put me on the list for student pilot @Wallaby
Airplane single-engine land, (basically fixed wing, single engine). I fly a C172
Please make an F-35 in 35 parts @Cabbage17
XD

Wow! @DPSAircraft
Should I extend the deadline? I honestly don’t know how long it takes you guys to build stuff XD

I have used input before @DPSAircraft
It’s just that I forgot - I changed the post now.
About SR2, yes. The highest bypass is 7 to 1
@rexzion Most likely
powerMultiplierispowerfor props though@DPSAircraft
Nice plane @BnanaX
Oh and full power, flaps, and cruise don’t go well together...
XD maybe SP is just unrealistic
@PaderiegeZ
@Mage2IsTriggered Honestly if everyone knew, apple would not be as popular
Too bad for me then :(
@Stratus Well, that's my experience with Fine Tuner. I did something wrong then.
Yes, you're right.
@Poro Of course... many people use blueprints.
But then again, not everyone uses blueprints

I guess I’ll remove that then

Oh well... @DPSAircraft
I’m also working for your airshow :)
You also gave me my first points so thank you!
Is there any other way? @DPSAircraft and thank you so much for your upvote
On iOS there is no kraken so this is unfortunate for iOS players!
The engines have so little power the plane can’t even takeoff and the middle main gear makes the airplane slide around on the ground. Also the rudder and nose wheel steering does not work
