@UltraLight After seeing your sailboat, I thought you might be able to make this build work. The kite won’t glide properly. It’s free real estate so you can copy it or re-upload whatever u want
This judge is not very good. This one got 24pts and it’s not even a rally car.👇

You should have more points or they should have less. This is a great entry even though it does accelerate pretty quickly imo. Did u use the FT code on the engine from the challenge page?

This is the kind of creativity I miss in simple planes. All of todays planes are replicas and feel super unsatisfying to fly. This is what what simple planes felt like in the early days. Functional planes with definitively unique flight characteristics. It’s a physics sim at heart. Gave me a hearty laugh when I saw the lift system. Creative and functional. Hard to find these gems.
If you ever feel like making an F-35b with hover, let me know and I’ll help out with it. Trying to nail the perfect hover mechanics are something I have a lot experience with.
You’ve earned my upvote.
Question. How did you get the bomb to continue showing it’s trajectory even after detaching? Don’t understand how…
Edit: I discovered it only does this when the small side of a detacher is connected to 2 parts that the bomb’s connected to. The big side of the detacher goes on the plane
I don't know why but modsettings doesn't seem to put any mod settings on my main menu. I downloaded it, ran it and enabled it in SP but I can't use this mod since the settings aren't there :(
Just fyi, I know the deadline for entries past, but important STOL parameters have been fixed on my final, 3rd update post, making it transition properly to and from VTOL. I set it as a redirect from my main entry. This site's 5 posts every 24 hours rule prevented me from fixing it sooner :(
@Lemoose Tadaaa! Thank you for letting me use your build. I learned so much about XML in customizing it, and still have ideas to make it better! I gave you credit in the main post.

@Falkenwut Ha! I know the feeling. The "cruise control" on my plane had me stumped for a loong time. I learned SO MUCH about XML in building my contest entry. With the game crashing, I try to save super often and when the editor starts getting laggy, I reboot the game. This clear's all your past 'undo' presses from memory which can add up really quick when building, especially when a lot of high part or XML heavy changes are made on the build. You're on the right track with your lift system though, control wise. You should check out Lemoose's Rolls Royce lift system. I add to its lift system for my entry, but I think it's what you were going for. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/ABPzHu/Rolls-Royce-LiftSystem
I didn’t make the body. But if U can find me a spanking, low part count F-35B body, I’d like to use it. It’s gotta be a good one and to scale. I suck at building lol it’s so tedious 😭@SuperSabre1945
Wow! This is the kind of build I wanted to make for the VTOL contest, but couldn’t! With the radar and button for electrical system and everything. Instead I focused on replicating the F-35B’s lift system. Going in my favorites. If you get the part count down for the contest, I’m sure you’ll land in the top 3
This must feel crazy in vr 🤣

Bro nice. Now someone just needs to add augmented reality data in a heads up display helmet
Instructions?
Why did you use triangles for the nose? Aren’t there smoother ways?
These kind of quality builds deserve a separate high quality SimplePlanes flying environment for high end PC’s.
+1Dude this is so slick. I love how functional it is. Wouldn’t local multiplayer be cool with these 2 cockpits? XD
+5The size to speed ratio of the buggy just feels sort of off @Gro
suspension is awesome. feels sort of slugish speedwise
Oh no.
The coolest looking planes always have unrealistic flight models or high part count :(
+1@MrGreen As judge of the RALLY CAR CHALLENGE, you gave this NON-rally car more points than @nanta02 ’s rally car… why

@Elizabethovo Well, there are magnets. I’ve sorta got a proof of concept. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9D4THW/Big-aircraft
+1Is it possible to park the tiny plane back onto the big one?

Funky trees enables so much potential.

Title says “White users be like:”… just make it a plane functioning like a tank and get a BF 2042 moment in there lol @KONOJERRYDA
I lost it when the tank pulled a cobra, slicing off the chaser’s wing with the barrel 😂
We need one for black users now
Dude. One upvote. And it’s from Andrew Garrison the maker of this game. 🤣 guess I’ll upvote too
Gyrodude review is 10/10 😂. Physics sims r fun.
+2Thanks for hosting this contest and for the work put in to it! It pushed me to learn a lot about xml.
Absolutely hilarious. Name too. Little people shoulda worn seatbelts smh.

Actually it’s a beast @V drove it under water and the game crashed XD
This site needs more low part count vehicles..most of them are way to high
Can somebody please just make an entry like the picture?!
@chinissejohncena Check out this cockpit
+1@chinissejohncena Give this a cockpit?
+1Nice cockpit

Sir, I believe your replica is 10x to big. You need to lie down, sir. I still like it. Sir, I need to lie down.
