@fishheads88 It's fun trying to make something fly on the lowest HP possible. Although the AI can't really handle the bombers or the Airco DH2 style aircraft. :/ Those tend to fall into a flat spin if pulled up too hard and fast. And the bombers just don't like tight turns.
@fishheads88 I've looked at it, but that's the wrong engine type. Too powerful. There's going to be hp limits of 250-300. Maybe a bit higher to the absolute bare minimum of hp required for the plane to take off, since my Eindecker "replica" can't fly on less than 500 hp, but can BARELY achieve 110 mph in level flight once it's in the air.
@fishheads88 Sometimes, yeah. But I've gotten different results. Although it does take FOREVER for anything to happen as they circle each other over and over and the AI is stupid and doesn't turn fight properly and yaddyadda. But hey, it's funny to watch.
@FltLtFox @QuantausAviation If they are going to do this they are going to have to improve AI because have the time one plane chases the other into the ground.
Well, anyone care if I do a WWI dogfight tourney for the lulz of it? Would that be placed in the announcements section? And how should I write up the posts?
@fishheads88 We could do classes. I think horse power limitations on prop planes and whether it's got auto-pitch or not would determine if a prop plane is WWI or WWII, because several biplane types fought in WWII, but they had more powerful engines and prop-pitch adjusting. Usually. Swordfish didn't but swordfish didn't need prop-pitch. It's BA enough.
dog fighting classes
ww2 era(guns and props only(jets allowed if jundroo makes a ww2 jet))
modern(anything allowed but no modding of weapons)
all stars(anything goes)
land(ground vehicles only)@FltLtFox
Just ban missiles and make it guns only. :D I'd love to do a WWI era dogfight. 250-300 hp engines, fixed prop-pitch props, no retractable landing gear, clipped guns are allowed if the guns aren't firing through the propeller. Two clipped guns per 'gun' there. Maximum of two non-clipped guns firing through the propeller.
Should that be limited to single-engine designs, or should twin engine 'heavy fighters' be allowed? (Hell, could allow bombers too, for the lulzies.)
@FltLtFox True

@FltLtFox Truw, I only have one build that ww1 and isn’t very good.
@fishheads88 We could, but WWI isn't something I see much of here.
@FltLtFox we could always do a ww2 tournament

@FltLtFox put it in announcements, also I would like to enter the ye old fighter plane (look at my post)

@QuantausAviation The smallest jet is WWII ish. I'm pretty certain I use it for my rough replica of the Me-262. Not a proper replica though. XD
@AndrewGarrison
@QuantausAviation Yeah that’s a good idea

@FltLtFox plane*
@FltLtFox ment to say how race tournaments are divided up into plan and car.
dog fighting classes
ww2 era(guns and props only(jets allowed if jundroo makes a ww2 jet))
modern(anything allowed but no modding of weapons)
all stars(anything goes)
land(ground vehicles only)@FltLtFox
@QuantausAviation I have xml but I never see anything for missles
@FltLtFox Like there is car class it could be divided up into ww1 ,ww2 ,Vietnam , modern eras.
