So, I've chosen 4 designs of yours I like. The GS-1, the Cargo King, the Manta Ray, and the VX-2 Ender. The GS-1 is probably gonna be my default choice, but I can see the VX-2 serving as a high-speed launch platform for faster vehicles and the Manta Ray serving as a mother-ship for larger vehicles. I'll see, but I like the GS-1 and the VX-2 the best for the role I'm intending for them.
@Texasfam04
The F-16 turns better but the F/A-18 can point it's nose tighter (can achieve higher-alpha). The F-16 dogfights better but the F/A-18 is better suited for A2G/strike missions.
The F-35 can turn like an Viper but point it's nose like a Hornet.
@Texasfam04
Both designs would run into problems. The YF-16 had problems with the P&W engine, and being the pioneer for fly-by-wire controls, that had major bugs as well. I think the YF-17/F-18 had problems with the vertical stabilizers (either being structurally weak or they fluttered at high-speeds). But I think both designs are fantastic (F-16 and the YF-17/F-18). Fun fact: the F/A-18/YF-17 traces it's roots back to the F-5 design.
@Texasfam04
No I think it was more Northrop/McDonnell Douglas neglected to perform a weapons test than the YF-23 not being able to perform it. In the JSF's case, yea Lockheed Martin had the better overall design. Boeing kept changing ideas on the X-32 to the point where Boeing's final "F-32" design was completely different than the X-32 in the fly-off at the time. At that point the X-35 was bound to win.
@Texasfam04
Yes we need a large aircraft that can act as a mother-ship for launching experimental space craft. Would like something with 4 engines at least.
@Delta74
Np, I always mention the competitor on my racer's post whether it was someone who beat me, or it's the 2nd and 3rd place racers (if I get 1st, happened last tournament).
@Texasfam04
Thanks, this one was just a half-effort entry into the race. Didn't really focus on this race. This design was too heavy and the AI flew it poorly. It was bound to get eliminated, surprised it lasted so long in the tournament.
Oh God that's horrible. I don't know what to say as I've never been through anything like that. I mean, I've been deeply depressed on a few occasions such as when my grades became final with 2 classes flunked (nearly brought me to deleting all of my social media including my SP account) and my not-so-stellar school performance for the last 3 years, but that's nothing compared to what your going through. It's truly sad, and I hate it when I hear about parents getting divorced and they still have a bird in the nest. I've heard divorces really shatter many kids, and their views on reality. I'm very grateful my parents never separated, but it's really unfortunate many kids have to suffer with divorced or cheating parents. I hope you make it through this, and always know that even in the worst and darkest storms, there's light and calm weather. You will not be forgotten if you leave SP. I'm not pushing or forcing my Christianity on you, and I hope you don't mind what I'm about to say, but I pray that God helps you on navigating through this storm, and keep in mind that you will always have an honest and loving father in heaven. I know it seems like fantasy to many, but I have seen God work in my life before, many times, and I believe he can help you too. I know SP has a no-religion policy, but to anyone reading this, please do not respond to my comment mentioning religion or trying to start an argument with me, you'll only spark a comment war and this post is NOT the place for a comment war. If you want to argue, take it to Reddit or YouTube.
This thing is freaking insane! Well done! Sorry I wasn't able to test it during it's final phases of flight testing, I got caught up in other things outside of SP. Your definitely getting better, especially with those engines!

The F-22 and F-35 are still pretty badass fighters but I agree the YF-23 should have won. It was a better overall design. Here's an excellent documentary on the YF-23 and why it was the better ATF design. In regards to the JSF, I think Lockheed Martin still had the better design with the X-35 over Boeing. The problem with Boeing's X-32 was that on paper the concept looked great, but when it came to the fly-off the X-32 had many issues and needed parts to be removed so it can even hover! I think the "F-32" would have had just as many, if not more problems than the F-35, but Boeing isn't as shady as LM so Boeing may have gotten the F-32 delivered faster.
Yea it really sucks when politics ruin good engineering feats.
Seriously this looks frigging fantastic! Very hyped for Deadstick even though I probably can't play it (using a potato PC). I love how your version is more of classic J-3 Cub.

Congrats Baldovino!
Congrats on winning 1st place!

True. Moonshot is probably gonna win this tournament. That's a fine racer there!

GG indeed!
Congrats on beating my racer, mine raced pretty sloppy while your's raced clean.
I don't expect my racer to make it past the first bracket.

Thanks!
That wasn't a plunge, that was a splat...
Love it so far, nice to see a good looking Wyvern on SP!

No I was saying I have a buddy that was into building PC's and he built a PC inside a fish tank with water.
