Guys, the aircraft you should build is of 1920s and 1930s design. It's in the rules.
Revamping one rule and extending submission dates by 7 days to accomodate other users.
@Sewander Medium physics is advised.
@20190244 And what physics?
@Sewander I'll pick ten racetracks built in from the game.
@20190244 ,please tell us what is "Raceway score" and on what track will these races take place? (D category)
I will start testing aircraft staring Friday June 17.
Note that ALL AIRCRAFT WILL RECIEVE A REDESIGN.
That's hard work, but it would be paid out if all things are finished. *wink
@Dragoranos
1. Prop size: You can. Large ones are recommended for Cat B and C (bomber and transport).
2. Prop pitch: Variable props appears in 1933 (I think)
3. Prop count: 1,2,3,4,6,8. But if you are talking about the blades, 2,3,4 baldes only.
A question:
Can I modify the engine a bit? (Things like prop size, prop pitch, count)
I'm interested...
Me going to make P-6 and hopefully not go over part count
im in, gonna make a fighter
@20190244 Sorry I accidentally sent my entry on my other account
@GoldenArrowCO yes.
So we should you the engine we have in this post?
@Kittyhawk208 If the engine isn't the one I asked, I can still edit the aircraft by heart, not to disqualify it.
I really wish people who posted these kinds of challenges would actually do some research. please PLEASE go do some more reading on this engine.
@NobleMobileUser 2, 3 and 4 blades are acceptable.
@20190244 can I give it more blades?
@Sewander Yes. You can.
@NobleMobileUser No.
Except for the
propellerHubScale
anddisableAircraftCollisions
Are we allowed to edit the engine in any way?
@20190244 How many upvotes for
1st, 2nd and 3rd?
look my F4u!!!
