As we all know, tomorrow(hopefully), SP 1.3 will be released for PC and Mac and everyone will be trying to find and use the new features. I will be posting some aircraft updates for the update for my ADFX-01's and X-02 for 1.3. I will also be posting a challenge for the update, which uses Ace Combat. Just some things to get out of the way before I post the challenge tomorrow.
First and foremost, you do not need to make an original aircraft from Ace Combat. You can make any aircraft, even IRL, from Ace Combat, but the IRL aircraft have to have something different from it's IRL version, preferably based on a Ace Combat version.
Second, type of aircraft is irrelevent, as long as it's from ace combat. Be warned though, if it's not a fighter of some kind, it will be judged separately from the main judging of the challenge. Basically, bombers(any fortress type aircraft is included in this category) and fighters are judged separately.
Third, the end date will accommodate at least 1 or 2 weeks after the mobile release for 1.3 is given out, so everyone is given a chance to participate! I'll have the end date some time in February unless mobile is released later than expected.
Edit: And forth, for those I know will be asking, XML modding and part clipping are allowed.
More details will be given when the challenge is posted as a plane tomorrow.
@Brields95 K
Oh I was just kidding.
@Brields95 No, I mean the part with those 2 aircraft not being allowed.
@NovaTopaz Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy. It was only available for Nintendo 3ds and PSP.
@NovaTopaz it's alright, I'm quite happy to build something more AI-suitable. Ace Combat has a lot of options to choose from, and it would be a shame to skip over one of the biggest new features just because I built something inconvenient
@Skua I'll be waiting. And either way, I need to come up with some base-line rules for when the challenge is posted. Personally, I'm was going to use the AI for testing dog-fighting, though I may or may not drop it depending on what people build. Having seen what you jet has, though, I will probably have to drop it. Meh. I was mostly going for looks and etc with this challenge anyway, so combat ability doesn't matter in the end.
Ooh my Su-47 would be perfect for this. I'll get it uploaded tomorrow once v1.3 is released
@Brields95 ?
The Hellcat and A6M Zero from ACAH Legacy do not count! Lol
Consider me in!
@LukeDaDuke Well, sort of. I mainly thought about making this challenge once I saw what the beta had when I was in the beta test. Hence why this is being started when 1.3 releases.
@NovaTopaz you now I love Ace Combat
Also, thanks for pointing out details for me. Good thing I made this post, because otherwise I would forget some vital details for the challenge before I post it tomorrow.
(Also my first challenge I will be doing, ever.)
I have an idea fora Japanese plane >:D
@DeezDucks I don't play ace combat either... I just use a wikia site. Hmm... May need to put a link to the site for those that need ideas of what to make.
@NovaTopaz :D but I don't play Ace Combat D:
@DeezDucks That's why the challenge is lasting at least 2 months, so mobile users can get into the challenge. I'm doing that as a fellow user of a mobile device, and because it'd be kinda unfair for them. But you can use 1.2 if you so wish(in fact, I was considering having a 1.2 and 1.3 judging so I can reduce the length of the challenge possibly, though I may do the 1.2 as a hold over sub challenge for mobile users until 1.3).
Ohhh D: i'm on Android D:
