@LieutenantSOT It’s ok, hope you sort things out. I don’t think I’m gonna post the second plane, as it’s very incomplete and I don’t have the motivation to finish it in time, but I think the Plunderer is enough anyway
Hey @LieutenantSOT ! Like with the last challenge, I plan on making 2 planes, however, I'm having quite a lot of delays, so my apologies if I can't submit my entries on time or if they end up rushed
Hey @LieutenantSOT, is it okay if I use a post-war livery? I’m making an american aircraft in use by the french (because I was too lazy to make US markings), which didn’t use the aircraft until after the war
Also, one last question @LieutenantSOT, what did you think of the gear? Was it too weak or too bouncy? Because I had a lot of trouble tuning it to be more realistic, and with feedback from the work I’ve done here, I can improve even more my next landing gear
@LieutenantSOT Oooh, what a nice grade! The main thing I was worried about was the speed of this thing since I couldn’t make it go any faster, and I’ll admit that the main engine is a bit over the limit, but it’s definitely not 20,000 lbf unless my sucky skills at math striked again, I reduced power through the max throttle at InputController as to make the engine guzzle less fuel, and if I’m not mistaken, it also reduces power the same way powerMultiplier does. Anyways, that doesn’t matter anymore since my next entry will be mixed propulsion, which is guaranteed to meet the requirements this time.
Hello! Don’t wanna bother you again, but could you please revise the max thrust rule? Even though it’s realistic, I find it quite hard to make the build meet the airspeed requirement without getting rid of most drag, which in turn makes the build unrealistic (too much climb rate, no loss of speed when turning and diving too quickly).
Hey! If you plan on making another challenge, something I think would be cool to do is add a little comment about what you think about each plane and what can improve or something like that
oh yeah, that’s because the gyros don’t work well with low physics, sorry about that. they are inside the seats, so if you want you can remove them @Yourlocalhuman
hey @DeezDucks, sorry for bothering you again but there was an error when uploading and this craft isn’t marked as sucessor, could you make it a sucessor to this challenge, please?
@Rondine Thanks!!

Are you alive? @LegnaK
Hey @LieutenantSOT, when will you post the results?

@LieutenantSOT True! I’ll be very glad if that happens
@LieutenantSOT Thanks a lot!
@LieutenantSOT Thank you so much for giving me first place!
I’ll be sure to fix that next time, too

@rexzion wrong
Hey @LieutenantSOT! Sorry for bothering you again, I just wanna let you know that I updated the XML to meet the requirements a little better

@LieutenantSOT Oh alright, take your time then
@LieutenantSOT You ok?

Noooo my little pink plane

Cool! T
Nice! I’m making just the right plane for this challenge
Seaplane my beloved
Cool, I might join

Oooh that looks awesome, T

Hey guys, I forgot about a throttle stick for the cockpit, so if you want to fly this in VR you will need to add one yourself
Alright, I’m gonna watch it @Tsuchiisan
Thank you! @DeezDucks
It looks like an interesting anime, I will be sure to watch it! @Tsuchiisan

é, eu tive dificuldade pra lembrar como fazer isso aí, valeu @Dragoranos

Really nice!
Never mind, setting the mass so low messes with the buoyancy
One last thing @U, can I reduce the pontoons mass to 0.1 or 0.2 since realistically, they were pretty light?
Hey @Dragorans, I have a few questions:
1: Can we remove drag and mass from minor details like cables, exhausts, decals and etc?
2: What would be the desired speed for the aircraft?
3: What is the deadline and can a user upload more than 1 plane?
Cara, eu não tinha nem ideia que tu era brasileiro @AeroBuddy
Sim! @AeroBuddy

alright man, cheers @LegnaK
hey @LegnaK , when will you be able to post the results?
Thank you! @DragoransEscarti
