@Diloph when the challenge is over and I’ve judged everyone’s planes, I will announce their scores to them in the comments on their post. I will also announce the top three here and I will make a forum post which will include everyone’s overall scores. I will make sure the winners know who they are :)
@RAF1 build quality and design are two different categories I would say. However, some builds look fantastic with the stock wings too so of course I will take it into account if they look good that way. It’s all quite subjective because there isn’t really a scientific way to measure what plane is better than another so of course a lot of my personal opinion will go into it. However, I do think we can agree that certain types of wings look better than others. The wings used by Costr aren’t just the wing part left on its own, it’s got added detail and often made of multiple smaller wing parts until it’s more of a custom wing than the stock one
I think it’s pretty good! There is no engine inlet or exhaust though! The screenshots are nice and your custom controls are great as well. Just make them move at 100% speed
@Diloph I have around 100 old planes of mine in my old phone which has a broken charging port. I really want to see my old planes from a few years ago but I don’t think it’ll ever happen now unfortunately.
@Diloph no there is no requirement for that. If planes are more detailed and have realistic functions/characteristics, they will get more points, but I will not disqualify planes for being unrealistic. I hope this answers this question and any others you might have had
@Diloph something where you could save a plane on your SP account and everyone can see your saved planes. They used to have the ability to favourite planes but I don’t think they do that anymore
And yet another lovely glider from you! Nicely made. I like the cockpit very much too. Most people forget there are often a few buttons on the control column/yolk so it’s nice to see them here
@asteroidbook345 exactly. I hope someone does one with floats too. I love the way those look. Also some sort of anti submarine version would be nice to see as well
@asteroidbook345 exactly! I tried to leave the rules really loose so people could be creative and not feel restricted to something too specific in terms of what kind of aircraft.
@asteroidbook345 me too. The l-1011 is also fantastic. The XB-51 feels like such a weird plane for the Americans to make. It just feels so un-American for some reason
@Empergyd it doesn’t have to be perfect! You get an upvote for entering and one for every ten points you get with the requirement criteria so I’d say it’s worth it!
Oh my goodness I remember seeing this a while back (I was on an SP break so I wasn’t liking or commenting hahaha). I didn’t realise you were the one who made it. It’s one of my all time favourite aircraft
@asteroidbook345 I like reading about these planes and I would 100% fly it for fun, but there is no way in hell anyone could get me to use them in combat and then try and land on a bloody ship hahaha. I’m used to landing on short runways but not any that move hahaha
@asteroidbook345 CCS always seems difficult at first but I don’t know why I didn’t start making them ages ago. They’re actually pretty simple to make. I always try to encourage new players to make them so they get into the habit of it early hahaha
@asteroidbook345 I see you know your history on this period too. This is I think my favourite era for military aircraft. So many experimental designs to figure out what is best. I love it when a jet fighter has a thrust to weight ratio of less than 0.3 hahaha
Whoa! This is really well made! The speed is also perfect! You never see tanks here with realistic speeds. The only unrealistic thing about this Tiger II is that it actually has fuel to drive hahaha
@StJiub it takes a lot of time. Look at my early builds! They not nearly as good as yours. I’ve also been playing this game since it was released for iOS so lots of experience here hahaha
@asteroidbook345 try whatever you feel like. I won’t take points off for interiors which look bad. After looking at other builds of yours, I bet you could make a good one though and even if it’s bad, you don’t have anything to lose

Remind me tomorrow to spotlight this!

@Diloph I saw! It looks great!
Very nice! Thank you for your participation in the challenge!
@Diloph I would love that! Thank you so much!
This is a pretty cool looking plane! The cockpit could look a little better though
@Diloph I have around 100 old planes of mine in my old phone which has a broken charging port. I really want to see my old planes from a few years ago but I don’t think it’ll ever happen now unfortunately.
@Diloph hahaha I’m glad you got that working! I wish I used one for my MiG-21 builds. Such a missed opportunity hahaha
@MrPorg137 sounds like it would have been a cool idea in the 1950s or late 1940s
@Diloph oh my goodness that’s incredible! I don’t even know if I’ve made 150 in total
@Diloph looking forward to seeing what you create. It sounds fantastic already!
@Diloph no there is no requirement for that. If planes are more detailed and have realistic functions/characteristics, they will get more points, but I will not disqualify planes for being unrealistic. I hope this answers this question and any others you might have had
@asteroidbook345 just make it look older and function worse hahaha. That should do it
@Diloph what did you make realistic? Have you already made a plane for this?

@asteroidbook345 it most certainly is! Very unusual but cool!
@asteroidbook345 exactly! It can be from any country. What would be cool also is navalised versions of existing helicopters of the time
@asteroidbook345 exactly! I tried to leave the rules really loose so people could be creative and not feel restricted to something too specific in terms of what kind of aircraft.
@asteroidbook345 I hope you do!
@asteroidbook345 me too. The l-1011 is also fantastic. The XB-51 feels like such a weird plane for the Americans to make. It just feels so un-American for some reason
@asteroidbook345 I hope to see some helicopters for this challenge. That would be really awesome I think
@asteroidbook345 that’s a good idea. I’ll take a look at his builds for examples
@asteroidbook345 I’m a sucker for anything from SR so I still love it. Maybe try making it again but not for any challenge, just a really detailed one
@asteroidbook345 three engined aircraft always intrigue me
@asteroidbook345 Honestly, anything sounds better than a carrier hahaha
@Empergyd it doesn’t have to be perfect! You get an upvote for entering and one for every ten points you get with the requirement criteria so I’d say it’s worth it!
@asteroidbook345 yes that is slightly challenging but with a bit of tinkering, it’s not too hard I think
Oh my goodness I remember seeing this a while back (I was on an SP break so I wasn’t liking or commenting hahaha). I didn’t realise you were the one who made it. It’s one of my all time favourite aircraft
@asteroidbook345 they sound very cool actually! If you would like help on any or to do some sort of colab, I would be all for it as well!
@asteroidbook345 I like reading about these planes and I would 100% fly it for fun, but there is no way in hell anyone could get me to use them in combat and then try and land on a bloody ship hahaha. I’m used to landing on short runways but not any that move hahaha

@asteroidbook345 they definitely do catch the eye. Everyone likes the weird planes that look different but still fly decently well
Very nice. Thank you for participating!
@asteroidbook345 that is true. I might enter in that one actually
@asteroidbook345 that’s also an awesome idea! The post WWII jets are very interesting aircraft.
@Empergyd no no I’m hoping to see a lot of jets here! I chose it because it’s a nice era where there was a lot of both jets and props
Whoa! This is really well made! The speed is also perfect! You never see tanks here with realistic speeds. The only unrealistic thing about this Tiger II is that it actually has fuel to drive hahaha
@StJiub it takes a lot of time. Look at my early builds! They not nearly as good as yours. I’ve also been playing this game since it was released for iOS so lots of experience here hahaha
@nitroth that’s not too big a deal. It’s just filled up for a short flight!
This is so cool! I love planes which are mostly normal and then have either weird wings or engines. Very nicely made too!
This is really nice! I didn’t even realise that there was a sort of similar challenge going on hahaha. Great build!
@asteroidbook345 try whatever you feel like. I won’t take points off for interiors which look bad. After looking at other builds of yours, I bet you could make a good one though and even if it’s bad, you don’t have anything to lose
This is really cool! I’ve never thought about a design like this but it’s very well made too. Nice build quality too
@asteroidbook345 that is also a cool choice but skynight is more interesting in my opinion. Why don’t you make both?
This is a really cool concept! From what year is this supposed to be used in?
