@Wernster Only the first three mentions in a comment will result in a notification. I was unfortunately not notified, sorry for showing up a week late :P
In any case, congrats!
@russianspy Hi again.
About the grading rubric you made:
1. Remember that not every single aircraft in existence is a military plane. This means not every plane has armament, which you are dedicating an entire seventh of your points to. What if I make an airliner with no armament? It's like dividing by zero. How do you tell if it's realistic armament or not with absolutely no armament?
2. There is no points that judge the actual design of the plane. This is a major problem, as it both tells people you are not an experienced challenge host AND it does not account for aircraft design in grading. In terms of replicas, you should also judge how closely the build matches the aircraft in real life.
@UltraLight lol i've been told that the MCAS was hard to disable and there was no training that mentioned MCAS or said lever so maybe misinformation is also at fault
@asteroidbook345 @ChrisPy As much as Boeing recommends a timetable for maintenance, the guidelines are only a recommendation. I don't think the mechanics or Boeing can keep track of the thrust setting at any moment during a plane's lifetime, which is what is needed to accurately determine the condition of an engine. The best we can currently do is to keep track of the number of flights for the plane, and through inspections of the engines from time to time. The latter makes it seem like airline maintenance is at fault as they have not identified the problems in the fan blades. On the other hand, the engine may have been worn out more than expected because of consistent high thrust settings and other factors, but the wear and tear is maintenance's job to identify, so they are at least partially at fault either way.
Following the rules is not the point here. Of course that would be the expectation. What a scoring rubric/guideline does is it determines the categories entries are judged on, and how heavily these factors/scoring categories affect the final score that determines challenge placement. @russianspy
@DeGebra the split scimitar winglet is just an addon to the normal models, so it is the same for the most part. However, officially the models with this winglet are different models with the same name and aircraft type designators.
Scout Biplane Airliner
all tags please. Good work!
first
The build looks nice, I'll check it out when I get home
T
I do sincerely hope I can try out this mod one day, since I always wanted CCTV.
But I'm on iOS. D:
@BigBushy101 lol only the first three people in your list of tags actually got notified
that's how they work
@Simpleuser04 @Rajko @SodiumIodide Can we please stop the spam now?

@Dazare Thats what I understood, you said that 95% will remain if you fly 50 miles, which is still absurd
Going 50 miles with 5% of fuel means your plane only has 1000 miles of range lol, which is considered ultra-short range
@AN2Felllla LOL
Awesome! Love the paneling as always

@ChrisPy United for the denver 777

@russianspy yay ty
@russianspy
Oh wait. Thanks for the pin tho!

@russianspy wait u said 200 in the desc
Build an airliner! They are underrated lol
@MIAW26PERSIAN wut i didn't say i was going to participate
Finally, a good challenge
oop no lifeboats
yay you did it! lol
(basically an airliner)
@asteroidbook345 imgur isnt working pls fix
le tuck tuck go brrrrr
@ClaymatorYT but how do you determine whether one plane is better than another? What factors do you take into account?
@Armyman03 you said the challenge ends in one month but 3/10 is less than 3 weeks from now lol, and you posted yesterday
nice challenge tho
I think people should actually take into account aircraft performance when scoring, but oh well.
@2 @MrMelanchology mods are 25 not 50
but everything else below is correct
@yiyayiyakesulufata u know you can still change the title lol
@chemmey and people gossip about me behind my back about my personality
and my builds to this day
@chemmey a lot of things happened.
@chemmey nice
This is Iowa class, not Lowa class lol
@DeGebra the split scimitar winglet is just an addon to the normal models, so it is the same for the most part. However, officially the models with this winglet are different models with the same name and aircraft type designators.
@chemmey oh hi ur back!
@KnightOfRen oh come on
T
A few days? That's rookie numbers.
lol
way too many
@TirpitzWantsPlanes This is not accurate whatsoever and is just an experiment. This is also why I decided to modify an existing build
@Fox3 er thats what auto credit is for is it not
May I please present your 100th follower
is this me?
wait a minute
F
@asteroidbook345 lol thats what they're for
@tsampoy good for you
and pretty sure cargo ships sometimes also have azipods
