I've always wondered, how do you make these? Do you use blueprints? Or can you just eye a couple pictures and create these? They always look insanely good!
Quick thing for everyone, rewards will be temporarily postponed (no exact date), I'm sick and too tired to give rewards right now.
Some of you might have gotten fractions of your rewards, those will resume once I feel better.
@11qazxc yeah, sorry, but 1,000 G's will kill you.
You could probably fix that by replacing every bone in your body with titanium and use carbon fiber braces to hold joints in place, not to mention having to essentially glue your skin together to make folds large enough to clip to your bones.
@Kangy You are partially correct, G forces are a measure of force compared to gravity, ie, earths gravity is 1G, though 1,000 Gs is not 1,000 times earths gravity, like decibels, it grows exponentially, though much slower than decibels (I may be wrong on that though).
1,000 G's would pulverize you, every bone, muscle, and tissue in your body would pretty much be liquified (a bit gross), 12-16 G's is enough to knock out fighter pilots, and 20 can be lethal. Not sure why there's an argument about this, but yeah, 1,000 Gs wouldn't be fun.
Sorry If you all are not happy with the results, I am planning tournaments for the future (I have a helicopter one coming that really seems like fun), this is my first time and i learned how people can get around rules. So future tournaments will have more sound rules, such as limits on XML numbers, clearer descriptions, more extreme testing, etc.
Most of these planes I barely even tested, just took em on a test flight and that's really it, so how powerful some aircraft were surprised me a little too.
Like I said earlier, this tournament had very basic rules, so i gave a pretty hands off approach to what you can and cannot do, I thought if one person can use superweapons, then everyone can, making it fair, what I didn't think of was that some were going for looks and realism than deadliness, and I apologize.
I look forward to seeing you in future tournaments, and I hope you all had some fun!
So! Here it is, the day of the tournament.
1:00 PM CST will be when the tournament starts, if you want to watch, then you can be there.
There will be a forum post showing what place everyone got (Including links to each airplane). So the forum might take a little time to make.
@AuroraPolaris ok, since its pivotal to the function of the aircraft, you're in.
I just don't want useless mods like jet heat haze to clog up where my mods are.
@AuroraPolaris you can make an account if you want, but I can enter your name if you dont, if you look on challonge, over half I entered in.
Making an account will just make it so you know when you and your opponent are fighting, when the tournament has started, etc, nothing important for winning.
Alright! I unpinned all of my comments to make it a little less crowded, and the important stuff will be compiled here.
Due date for aircraft is April 16th, at 9:00 PM CST!
Due date to enter into the tournament is April 16th, before 9:00 PM CST!
The event will be streamed on Twitch, and done live on Challonge!
Only 1 plane can be entered into the tournament per player!
These are just the base rules, and any other rules can be asked.
For any existing players, no rules have changed, I just want to clean the comments up a bit.
@11qazxc I mean it looks different, it looks more like a missile than a plane.
Don't worry, I cracked it open to make sure if at least could be defined as an aircraft, and I see how you made it.
@CatHoldingTheSun looks are not an issue, if you look at a couple successors, they looks pretty bad (tbh), performance such as speed, agility and weaponry is what you want.
Turrets aren't allowed at all, auto, semi auto, or full manual, all not allowed, sorry.
Missiles have few restrictions, so if you think you could use missiles instead, it would pass perfectly fine!
@Tookan well, its really neat!
+1I've always wondered, how do you make these? Do you use blueprints? Or can you just eye a couple pictures and create these? They always look insanely good!
+1@RomanoMilos Thanks, yours still looks insanely good
way better than mine
@Technodium It has a special sound to it, basically the engine, a prop, and a helicopter rotor smushed into one, give it a more diesel sound.
ah...yes...the majestic "duck"
Juts look at the Bush Plane elevators, copy paste
@LieutenantSOT maybe in a few weeks, a few months, tomorrow, I'm not sure.

Link to winners!
@LieutenantSOT ah thanks, forgot
+1IMPORTANT!!!
Important link if you want to watch the stream!
RIGHT HERE

Good luck, and may you win the tournament.
@AAAagent7 yes
flies incredibly well, I like it
@AuroraPolaris ok, since its pivotal to the function of the aircraft, you're in.

@Yesthisismynewusername if you're saying its the same as version 1, you are mistaken
@Yesthisismynewusername same thing as...
Though, can you make a version without the mods?
good work!
looks really good!
good work!
+1@Madmaximus there should be a search bar in challonge, look up SimplePlanes, and find the one created by me.
@Madmaximus in order to watch you need to login or signup
@Souka as long as its semi realistic, like no jet engines going the speed of light or wing guns with 400,000 rpm
@Madmaximus yeah
Here
There may be an issue with the VTOL nozzles where one side is reversed, a mk. 2 will come out with that fixed and more upgrades.
@AuroraPolaris you can make an account if you want, but I can enter your name if you dont, if you look on challonge, over half I entered in.

@AAAagent7 ah ok, the first link you gave me just sent me to the homepage
good work!

@Hiiamhere ah ok
@11qazxc its...different...but it looks and works really good!
@AAAagent7 I cant see the plane, do [what you want it to say] (link) minus the space between.
for example My Tournament
@CatHoldingTheSun ah ok, then that's perfectly fine!
+1not sure what the description means, but looks good!

@Xiaoexe141 yeah go ahead, turrets aren't allowed though, auto aim or controlled by the pilot.
@AAAagent7 yes
Good work!
@AcePilot118 totally possible!
