Some more advice: I suggest, even if you are 100% happy with your aircraft, that you wait until a few days before the due date before publishing it, so that if you have a sudden inspiration or want to make any changes, you can do so easily. Just give me a comment first if you are joining, so I know how many participants to expect roughly.
@LunarEclipseSP @Gabriel747 @Shifter @KtaAviation @CR929thenewSPplayer @NoblePlanesLTD And any other person viewing this challenge, THE RULES HAVE CHANGED SLIGHTLY. Only new submissions allowed, no submitting old builds. Submission maximum changed from 2 to 3. Marking Criteria. The description above has been edited to reflect the changes, I suggest you read them again. Apologies, but as I have just posted the challenge today, I am still realising some errors and improving the challenge.
@NoblePlanesLTD Hi NoblePlanes, I noticed your 2 submissions are old aircrafts made by you before I posted this challenge. Because I did not put the rule that it must be a 'new aircraft specially made for the challenge' yet, you can choose whether you want to keep the submissions or replace them with new aircrafts (I wont count the original as a submission if so). NOTE: This is only for THESE TWO submissions.
@windshifter1 Also, I believe you failed to mention that all lines of code must be written in between these brackets: {} Anthing written outside of the brackets will just add on as normal text.
Very helpful guide, but there is one error. To access the name of the selected weapon, the code is {SelectedWeapon}, not {SelectedWeaponName} as mentioned in the Inputs section.
@SourDoughBread Yes the minimap in the airplane. It switches slides and scrolls out when you leave islands. It is what I have wanted for the entire time I have been playing SimplePlanes, no kidding. I have finally found it in your plane.
My T-33 Shooting Star is done, and I am almost finished with my Fuji T-1 Japanese Trainer AIrcraft - I have used fuselage slicing for a 100% realistic paint job but with no drag and less parts, custom wings for extra realism, a detailed cockpit interior that, like the real plane, seats two, and some extra gizmos and gadgets to finish off. I am just doing the final touches to add the most realism.
@WinsWings Oops I was thinking of the KI30 light bomber but that flew a little too early! Now I hope to make a Fuji T-1 Japanese fighter plane in addition to my T-33 Shooting Star USAF trainer aircraft. I am glad I heard of this challenge early, I have so many great ideas I want to make a submit, thanks for making this challenge, really inspiring!
Must it be specifically airplanes that participated in the cold war, either on USAF or Soviet side, or can it be any warplane from any country that flew during that time?
I made cold war era plane but it is not a successor, can I finish, upload it and just send you the link in comments please? I forgot about the successor part.
I have the same issue! In my ww2 prop plane, it keeps tilting down. I can put weight at the back but then the plane can pitch up and down but with no difference in altitude, just fall like a dead weight?
@LunarEclipseSP Yes, I was working on it for some time there, but forgot about it, and had to rush and attempt to finish it before the deadline! I am glad I still got in!
I would like to enter my Static armoured and armed personnel carrier into the competition. Sorry I did not make it as a successor. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/szQjjY/Static-armoured-personnel-carrier
@AirJMCAviation Yeah unfortunately they were taken out, even though they have great power and speed. You can save them by downloading my aircraft, and putting the propellors into your subassemblies folder. Then you can use it elsewhere.
Its finally out! Please check out my update on this plane with a full interior! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/k49fOL/Boeing-787-8-Interior
I would really appreciate it if realSavageMan could check out my post and give some comments and feedback, maybe even an upvote. Oh, and my sincere apoogies ThatRandomCouchPotato and other mobile users, It lags slightly on my computer, so I doubt it will work for you :(
Great plane, but in real life, the F-22 was so amazing because it achieved very high speeds WITHOUT the afterburner, so maybe you could change it to follow the real plane?
You should also watch other videos from that guy's channel on simpleplanes, they really help
@Jacob30x Ah! Here is a great video for you to watch on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XadzaCZXzB0

Would altitude be: (Altitude > X ? input : 0) ?
@LunarEclipseSP I would be honoured if you joined
Thanks for being the first to upvote LunarEclipseSP, will you be joining?

+2@belugasub Ok, I understand completely. mark it whenever you please
@SourDoughBread Yes the minimap in the airplane. It switches slides and scrolls out when you leave islands. It is what I have wanted for the entire time I have been playing SimplePlanes, no kidding. I have finally found it in your plane.
Hi, just reminding you, you are marking this soon?
I LOVE THE MAP, can you make a seperate version so we can use it on our own creations?
@windshifter1 Oh, and it has the perfect max speed

+1@WinsWings Great! I am thinking of making a japanese fighter plane as well. I already have a T-33 shooting star trainer aircraft near completeion.
+1@WinsWings Oh OK, so just confirming, we can send in airplanes from any country from that era?

Will the video include all submissions or just the winners? Also please link it here when you have made it
Here is my second submission: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/d19IUj/Multirole-HeliGUNSHIP
How many entries so far?
Here is my Passenger and Bomb Transporter Helicopter with 163 parts: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/WvH2Ia/Passenger-And-Bomb-Transporter-Helicopter
I have a great helicopter tto be submitted, just doing final touchups
I have the same issue! In my ww2 prop plane, it keeps tilting down. I can put weight at the back but then the plane can pitch up and down but with no difference in altitude, just fall like a dead weight?
Nice!!!

@Graingy You did plenty thanks, I did not know about the old propellor, and adding has greatly improved my plane. Thanks again
@Graingy Thanks very much for the upvote and your feedback on previous post!
@Graingy Hooray, I found one. I edited the description above to include a link to the new plane with the old propellor
@Graingy Yes, I was looking for that propellor to match the real design but to no avail. How is the resot of the plane though?
@Legomaster0418 OK great Ill check it out when it comes!
I am also going to download and comment on your other planes from your profile page they look good too
@Legomaster0418 The second image is the one I like and want to check out, the first comes up with and error: image not found or was removed.
+1Ill follow you to make sure I know when it comes out!
The picture looks amazing!
I cant wait!

@ThatRandomCouchPotato Lol sorry, but to make you feel better, my computer still suffers under the size and weight of most battleships!
@realSavageMan Ok thanks, it'll be up in a day or two, I hope you will check it out and give comments on how I can make it better.
