Yeah I'm if the you do you opinion on this. Trying to reach gold or such for the sake of it is stupid. But if you were after that then memes get lots of votes I've noticed. I say build what you like and let the work speak for itself... But nobody really listens to me. I was featured a bronze though, so these things do happen.
@RamboJutter like I said, its up to you. So far everyone has submitted ww2 aircraft. If you want to throw some upgrades on and resubmit thats fine, or i can review it as is. But you'll be losing out on points you could get with simple tweaks.
So. Just looked at this and it appears as if you might not know what you're going to be evaluated on. This is basically a fictional WW2 fighter. That's not the challenge. It needs to be a WW2 stylized 2018 ATF. I'll review this if you want, it's very good. But you wont score very high, 80-90/163. Please take a second to go over some of the results so I know your not thinking this is a fictional WW2 challenge. Nice work in any case ;)
@Minecraftpoweer maybe it's a little different on car engines, but on plane and jet engines 1hp + less than 1input = Less than 1hp in total power So if your top speed at 5000ft was 200mph and you reduced the input only it would not be 200mph anymore, it would be less. I think the difference is the fact that wheels have a max velocity so your not actually getting to the true top speed to see that it actually decreases. i.e. Max wheel speed is 200mph max engine speed is actually 2000mph. So decreasing the input will apply the power more slower and results just like you describe. Then you have the wheel size that affects the top speed on cars too, so yeah. It's more complicated on cars I guess.
@Minecraftpoweer Actually you would want to raise the input if you wanted a slower acceleration, and then decrease the base power to compensate for the higher range. Decreasing the input will make it more responsive while reducing the final hp. So for example.
.1input+10hp=almost instant responsive low fuel use 1hp total power.
1input+1hp=normal
10input+.1hp=slow accel high fuel use 1hp total power
@randomusername it's not the sound it's the volume that is the problem and it seems to relate directly to the number of pistons. Essentially the sounds stack.
@AviownCorp That makes no sense. It's not a WWII fighter, its a modern fighter that is stylized after the WWII era. At least that's the point of the challenge. ATF+WW2 mash up.
@Chancey21 can you be more specific? It's less rules as much as scoring criteria. By no means do you have to follow everything to the tee, you could decide to max out a certain niche at the expense of another. I'm not expecting anyone to make a masterpiece in a month and like I said the timeline can be adjusted if need be. I spent almost a year on and off working on my design, kept coming back to it and improving things once I learned something new. The point was to try and make something equivalent in style and premise not get a perfect score, and it would largely be impossible to even get. I designed to scoring based on what the XF14 can do and it didn't get a perfect score so that should tell you something. Anyway, what were you wanting to be adjusted?
@Tacocat16 I respect your decision, however. I disagree with the reasoning. If you need more experience then wouldn't it behoove you to participate in a challenge where your creation will be critiqued at a high level of scrutiny? That will give you good feedback to hone your skills. Either way thanks for the upvote ;)
So far I would recommend looking at the weapons, they are super OP and not realistic at all. Other than that it's a really cool design. Is this intended as a bomber or a fighter? scoring results in case you wanted to see how I'm doing the reviews. I've done one already and then my own for fun. Keep up the good work.
@WarHawk95 they were picked based on the shape. No way to change the tracking as far as I know.
Thanks everyone for the support, glad you like it.@Razor3278 @TurboFuture @LiamW
@LiamW I'm going to be putting out a lower part count version.
I made a successor, check it out at F-14A VF-14

+1@FastDan You gotta take constructive criticism if you're going to get better I say.
@FastDan I didn't know that was possible.
How are you hadling the wing sweep. I have a pretty sophisticated auto sweeping system in my F14, if you want I can share it with you.
@FastDan What do you mean? Are there mods that help you build other than overload and finetuner?
@CRJ900Pilot tnx Ill see if I can move it to the nose gear
Did you get what you needed? I can mod an engine for you if you want
@Boatrider it'll happen to you if you stick around.

@Baldovino I'll check it out soon as I can. Check out the results to see what you're up against.
Can you post a link to this on your other plane so its easy to navigate to. Looks like you're going to take the lead.
The load times are terrible. I might delete the cockpit for testing
Ok, so you want me to review this one?
@RamboJutter congratulations!

@ChiChiWerx thanks, lighter planes can be tough to get to sit down
Going to bed, if no body jumps on this I'll look into it tomorrow after work. ;)
I'll try and get to it tonight.
@Bobjoezonehill Turned out great, good job!

@LiamW that would make the engines quieter, but more fuel efficient and responsive.
@Chancey21 @RamboJutter deadline is somewhat flexible, set for end of August as of now. There is a 20$ first prize, thats why its so in depth.
@randomusername it's not the sound it's the volume that is the problem and it seems to relate directly to the number of pistons. Essentially the sounds stack.
V this.

It says under construction, did you want me to review it yet?
+1@Chancey21 I really like complicated stuff, as long as it's stream lined. :D
@SpiritusRaptor thanks! You helped with some parts.
@Spacedoge12345plane No, feel free to read next time you have something to say.
