It won't load into my editor for some reason.
@EagleFlyer dunno, maybe soon
When will the next challenge be?
got it
There are many cases in which a plane crashes because of the landing gear and engine counteracting forces so the gear turns faster than the propeller thus flipping the plane over.
@ShiptyCo because it's not supposed to do that. It is a flaw, regardless if it's in the description or not.
Then why did you complain that the propeller hit the ground because it was nose heavy when you did not pull up.
@ShiptyCo just because you said there's a flaw, doesn't mean it's not a flaw.
You didn't read directions. My creation said in the description that it was nose heavy and had to pull up early.
@EternalDarkness Thank you for the high praise! I was actually very lucky to be able to squeeze that relatively detailed front suspension on. You can actually crank the engine up to 750 hp or even 1000hp in XML and it can still go around the bends at full throttle.
@Testin123 link it. I'm too drunk to search.
@EternalDarkness Haha I can just imagine it! 2 part ww1 challenge!
@EternalDarkness Seriously? look at the darn sucessors and read.
@PlanesOfOld I'm glad to hear that. The very drunk version of me (in charge right now ) is already contemplating the next challenge.
@EternalDarkness It coudnt take off in real life lol, in my book that adds to realism... unfortunatley i didnt have enough space to make a launch ramp... but i think ill go back to it at some stage and finish the job, Thanks for the fun contest, Twas a pleasure taking part and i look forward to the next!
@Testin123 only five successors. I had 60+, and I'm hoping for even more on the next one.
@EternalDarkness It had 47 entries.
@Testin123 the one with five entries? That's the only one I could find since the "Windbreaker" I helped you with a few montha ago.
@EternalDarkness Look at my worst aircraft challenge and weep.
@Testin123 you don't have the popularity to score as many entries. Do it if you want, but I'll do it when I reach 100k.
@Sarpanitu @Blue0Bull I'm glad you enjoyed. There'll be more.
@EternalDarkness I'll do it. :)
@Ctracerx2 no problem. Stay tuned for more.
@Baldovino DR.ONE is one of my favourites here. I enjoyed testing it. Good job.
@TehNewDucky I understand that. I invested some effort to find positive and negative sides of every entry. What is written in the reviews is just a small part of it all. I didn't have the time to write a full article about every entry, due to large number of entries.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation stay tuned for more. I loved running this challenge, and people enjoyed it.
