Hey guys. I recommend you do two things at your booth. One, I would set up two big monitors to allow a "build off" between your visitors. You can run a competition every hour. Second, use PowerPoint in slide show mode to loop through all the coolest user designs. Let the player's creations speak for themselves. Show / talk about the humble beginnings of your game and the early designs of the players and talk about how everything has progressed to where it is now. You have a great story to tell how a bunch of friends took the plunge to build physics based games. You left great jobs to do this and made personal sacrifices. You have a great story about building a community of players, a story of working with players to improve the game, and the story of the players themselves who are passionate and creative. Speak from the players perspective. Whenever I'm at a convention or speaking in front of crowds, I speak with the voice of the end user, and do so with passion and excitement. You always win when you combine your passion with the voice of the user. I wish I could be there to speak for you. Good luck! @joeysellers @NathanMikeska @andrewgarrison @kevinmurphy
Kevin Murphy, Walrus Jr., and I were horsing around with this last night around midnight. We all recognize how you've steadily improved your design and this a brilliant update. Really nice job man!
I'm working on a B-29 right now (this is Walrus Sr. you are talking to btw). That said, it would be fun to build this with full swash plate... two I guess for the dual rotors. If you are looking for a non flying / 3D print version, that would be easier and faster to build than a full blown working copy. That's the challenge in this game. You need your creation to look good and still work with the prescribed physics. If you can let me finish my B-29, I can start mocking this up. Have you serviced or flown this bird before? @Jessier
Honestly... bravo for discovering this. I don't know if there is a running page with all the xml discoveries. Are you aware of a wiki page that covers everything?
Are you on mobile and unable to download? If so there is a way to get this with a little trick. I need to ask Walrus Junior to add those instructions here for you. @Kevinairlines
Just did a majestic landing in this wonderful airplane. It fly's superb! The planes landing gear looks amazing, and even in the air it looks beautiful. I can't wait till your next airliner build. (777-300 Er please lol)
Walrus Jr.
Lol, Sr. just keeps telling me to export the 3D file for some of my creations and sell it for some money on a 3D model site. I think our best bet is his Maz. It looks pretty close.
@Gestour - Lol! I'm an amateur as well, and I share this account with my 13 year old son. Actually, now that he is 13 we can get a student license for Maya. This game has inspired me to learn more.
I'm late to this plane, largely due to a recent surgery recovery, but I want to commend you on this amazing build. You really are a fantastic designer, and you give the community mods. Are you a graphic designer or professional artist in your day to day life?
@MrMecha @deusalgor @Himynameiswalrus @jamesPLANESii - thanks guys. The trick to 3D printing it seems is to get your most detailed model printed. It makes a difference in the end.
Nice, Best one on here!
This plane looks downright dorky when you scale the wings back up. @Wakescar
@mustafanaveed - You're very fast.
@SkullsAndCrossbones Thanks for pointing this out.
Dang this looks really good! I am working on some things right now and will fly this later.
Yes, I think you may have given it in another posting, but I don't recall which one. @Jessier
FYI. I have not forgotten about this but I'm really busy at work these days. @Jessier
Well thank you! @rubbishcraft
Oh yes, I gave him credit, too. @kikasshes

No, it does not roll. It's a solid block. @PyroManiac
When are you guys coming to Austin ;-)
I love seeing new innovations like this. Well done man!

Has anyone made it yet? I'm not sure if the blades would print out. @Jessier
Actually, I made it for Jundroo.
I looked for it, but could not find it. When did you los? @FightingFalcon
@Avaitors101 @StormstarHTF - maybe it is time for a new Tuk Tuk. What do you guys think?
@SimpleFlow @Sarpanitu - radial engine is 150 parts, so mirror bug is most likely the issue.
Excellent job!
Lol
Surprisingly fun to drive.
Honestly... bravo for discovering this. I don't know if there is a running page with all the xml discoveries. Are you aware of a wiki page that covers everything?
Nice job Unstable. I'm very pleased to see this high quality car from you. Walrus Sr.
This is really fantastic. I've been in this game yearly two years now and I love seeing all the innovation. Good job!
I would, but I'm working on a few projects right now that are quite intense. So sorry :-(. @Shipwright
OK I'll do that tomorrow for you. @Kevinairlines
I think you will really enjoy a 3D model. @Pilotmario
@Wakescar @TheLatentImage - thanks guys. Makes me think more about buying my own printer.
@Tahyang @GT3TobyRS - thanks guys!
This was Walrus Jr's first plane from 2 years ago :-). I think it was just an imaginary design.
Continuous improvements make this super awesome. Nice job once again.
Great build mate!
Wow! Great job. You put a lot of work into this.
@Kevinairlines The will be a icon on the top of your browser that should let you request the desktop site.

Thanks MoterKade. How are you doing these days? @MoterKade

Nice! Your best one yet! Can't wait to fly it!
Yes, Kevin Murphy is the game artist. Hopefully he will see my message and tell us. @AdrianFlyingAce
@AdrianFlyingAce - oh, I'm not sure. Let's ask the game artist.
@weebabyseamus , what truck did you use for the rotating image banner?
@Gestour - Lol! I'm an amateur as well, and I share this account with my 13 year old son. Actually, now that he is 13 we can get a student license for Maya. This game has inspired me to learn more.
@AdrianFlyingAce - I apologize, but I do not understand your question. Can you explain once again? Which truck are you looking for?

@WalrusAircraft lol (Jr.)
Mixture of Jr. And Sr. comments here. We are both excited (Sr.)
