I'll be sleeping now. I'll answer your questions early in the morning ASAP. If I don't answer you in time, I'll extend the deadline a little for you specifically.
Challenge STARTS countdown at 00:00 GMT, 21st of April, 2025, ends on 00:00 GMT 16th May, 2025.
@11qazxc for oscillations, I'll be checking if the plane has the adverse effect of using over sensitive limitors and starts oscillation due to over correction at any given speed. Notice how there is no particular speed requirement and it's just so long as it's still plausible (so atleast mach 1.4+... We are making a "next gen" after all)
Perfectly level is just checking pitch, roll and yaw angle when inputs are dead. If it all stays lower than a forgiveable threshold (-+2 degrees), then you get as close as possible to max marks.
@Boeing727200F I added another slide with more clarification on what me saying that means. I'll be a little more careful about stuff like that. Let me know if you see anything else that's not properly clarified.
@ZeroWithSlashedO see, I'm interested in just pushing people to the limit. The Upvotes don't really matters that much to most people who'd participate... It's just a really big prize compared to the usual. As long as you're ready to use your expertise to the max within a 25 days time period, you're good to enter
@Axartar I have a very similar plan actually. Entering itself won't be hard. Getting the prize will be.
If you have anyone else who has the same ideas or interests as you right now, let them know this posts exists. The more of a collaboration I can encourage, the better. This is meant to be the grand bye bye to Simpleplanes 1, after all.
@jamesPLANESii as already stated, it'll either be using alts, if mods say that's okay, or the friends I have who can help. So 100 really becomes 25 across 4 people
As for the bit about setting the bar... Well, this is an ambitious challenge, so for questions like that, I made this post so we can atleast get some discussion started. Maybe you can help with some ideas? My thoughts on that was too keep seperate thresholds for different skill levels and let each entry still get a decent 10-20 upvotes from me alone.
@AndrewGarrison
This is like that meme, the "don't forget me when you become popular"
😭
Thank you for 10 years of a legacy in simpleplanes 1. And also thanks for all the pain from all the wierd bugs too LOL.
Im excited for Simpleplanes 2. (Oh yeah, should mention that this is the same person who made the post, just a different account now.)
@Graingy it's at the back, like a Mig-21. It's not obvious right now but I want to keep it that way because I don't want to fully break their mind with custom exhausts yet
This game is about to start feeling more like a fine wine that has a lot of the things we've been wanting for years over an already almost perfect game...
I am thoroughly impressed, but request the jundroo team to please not rush and take your time with it. Thank you for listening, devs!
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 I've been keeping up with all his posts as well so it's not just you alone.
It's us alone. Throughout all places of Earth, we alone are here to see his planes
@MosquitowithaMachineGun I go with canvas, but I suggest GIMP or something else. I just learnt some exploits on canvas which is why I was able to make that thumbnailwith the plae in front of the text
first update :
Considering discord server for the challenge.
@DeeganWithABazooka welp, np. I'd say give it a try, there is nothing to lose. Everyone wins 20 upvoted and gets insight about their submission.
@11qazxc also, for the internet thing, I'll put it all in text by tomorrow.

@Erionh I'll try my best. Share it with people whom you wanna compete with if you're participating!

@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 no problem, encourage those who'd probably want to.
@Boeing727200F you can actually use that if you want. But it has to still be believable, D3.

Tags are from the recent discussion forum post where I stated "Upvoted if you want to be updated when the challenge is out"
@DrakonDynamics this is like the one challenge where literally everyone wins something. Give it a chance.
Or just let your friendoes know it exists. That's fun too. Hope you get to see something nice come Outta this!
I would like to clarify, all tests will be on high physics settings!
Also, all participant builds will be given some love on a forum post once result are out.
As the clock ticks, changes may be made to some of the criteria or rules. If that does happen, more time will be given
@dabestsock which one?

If you're upvoting this, I'm assuming you'd want to be updated when the actual challenge starts.

@32 wut 😭
@SkyJayTheFirst alright! Good to know! So far this plan seems like a go ahead.
Next... @Crazyplaness
+1Is there anything against using alts to meet a prize pool for a challenge?

Not that ridiculous, jokes aside (YES, THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS A JOKE). I'm thinking about doing a next gen fighter but with VTOL and air superiority
