Attention! Due to the low number of non-compliant aircraft, it has been decided to cancel the tournament. I'm sorry to announce this. Probably the tournament was too ambitious and raised many rules that could be difficult to meet or neglect. What is learned in this case will serve to make better tournaments in the future. Probably less ambitious, simpler and perhaps more attractive to the whole community. I feel again this outcome and hope you continue to trust me for the next tournament. It will take some time to publish a new tournament, as I want it to be original, easy for all and especially attractive and fun. Thank you all. A hug!
@mikoyanster aww yea!!
Yes @JoddyFubuki788
@mikoyanster may i use BFE300 as accessories?
Yes ! @Seonor
i can use custom landing gears right??
If not I could just use gun pods but that would really hurt the planes prefomance
Horizontal turns would be Way to slow
Is it ok if I rescale the m61 but leave the stats the same bucese if I leave it the same size no way its going to fit in the f-4Es nose
Well good thing it was already in subassemblys @mikoyanster
