A QnA
"can I use a previous builds?"
Yes, but it may take away from your innovation points. Don't let that discourage you from participating. You still get 20 upvoted ATLEAST.
"how will you check for Oscillations and levelled flight?"
I'll use the debug expressions to check the variables. Some amount of flux or oscillation is forgivable, but it should be barely noticeable (I gave an estimate of - or + 2 degrees of threshold before it's too much and you start losing points.)
"What even counts as a "next gen"?"
Whatever you think follows the generation that is the F-22 Raptor, J-20 Mighty dragon, Su-57 and an so on and so forth. I've kept it still intentionally a little vague, but you're definitely looking to try and outdo these aircraft, that's for sure.
Let the royalty stride forward

@RestlessGalaxies
i feel this site would help you in deciding which aircraft is stealth and which is not,this is a ripple tank simulation website
it is up to you if you will use it since it is kinda complicated
I would like to clarify, all tests will be on high physics settings!
Also, all participant builds will be given some love on a forum post once result are out.
As the clock ticks, changes may be made to some of the criteria or rules. If that does happen, more time will be given
@SupremeDorian I'll prerequisite with this --- I'll never myself abuse the system.
Now, that said, the irony of that whole ordeal is that the rules for the site don't state that you are not allowed to use alts to help other players. It has a clear rule stating against Upvoting yourself but nothing for Upvoting someone else. So even if I went through with that plan, I'd have all the reasons to defend myself this time around.
But massive respect to you for confirming that we'll in advance. I appreciate that. Helps with the clarity... I'll just really REALLY have to setup that discord and get whoever those 5 are (I don't remember everyone's names) and just start the discussion of how we go about this and if everyone will have the time.
@Graingy again, true. At the end of the day, the super hard challenge is meant for those who want to test their experience.
The easy challenge is mustering up the courage to make and submit something and get some value out of it... And maybe hype up simpleplanes two a little. This is likely going to be the last big challenge for Simpleplanes 1
@SupremeDorian I did though? And I'm not going to be using alts either way. I've gathered 5 volunteers to help, and even if they don't help, I'm ready to do it alone, all by myself, one account. Besides, @Skyjaythefirst has fully confirmed he's definitely in on this.
Also, to support the claim of asking mods before uploading the challenge, check here I tagged Crazyplaness once. And after that, tagging any mod became redundant since volunteers came out and said they'd help instead.
@RestlessGalaxies you still can't use alt accounts to upvote posts multiple times due to the site rules (source: I was a moderator here)
asking the site mods whether that'd be okay before posting this, not after, would have been appreciated
Everything is always unique anyhow.
Seems I work different to the people you talk to.
@Graingy huh? If you have sub assemblies that you can take from your own previous planes that already have the complex spaghetti codes already written (Exhibit A - Controls surfaces, Engines, cockpit setups) then that's going to save you shit ton of time.
I fail to see how that would help?
Parts need to be custom-designed for a given model, and the way I see it if you didn’t make it yourself, and it’s any greater than a trim, you shouldn’t be using it.
@Graingy or lots of saved sub assemblies... Which I actually don't discourage taking sub assemblies at all and doesn't affect points in any way.
This incredibly short time scale is the kicker. No way to work within that unless you already have significant experience in this type of aircraft (and time to devote to SP).
@Graingy fair point on that, one again. But I've thinking about criteria based prizes too... So if you're one particular category is good, then a bonus of 30 upvotes, so 50. But I can't confirm that yet
@Graingy good point... But you get repaid in me taking time judge your craft and credit you for what you did good, and criticise what can be better
In any case, the closest Graingy aircraft to fitting this criteria are not currently approved for sale in the Tumour.
Can’t even get GHF-79As in there, let alone recent models.
Time.
@Graingy who said?
You can make a really bad plane and get 20 upvotes for basically free AND get criticism... What are you losing?
I don't think I will be able to participate any more😢
I've got the litteral busiest 25 days coming up (why now 😭)
idea would be the cvtol concept on that secretprojectsforum
Well, good luck with the, like, 7 people able to compete in this.
This is for programmers only, clearly.
Lmao the bus
@DeeganWithABazooka GO ALL ON BROTHER. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
Also, I'm probably going to revamp this page a little to look better and account for all those spelling errors.
No major changes in rules and regulations though.
I am starting to feel like participating...
y'know what, I have a bomber idea in my head, it may be good.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover all the best! Excited to see what you come up with.
@TheBoeingEngineer Wrong. There are 5 other actual people who'll help with the upvotes
I could get some good results in this if I had SP installed but even if i want i cant bring it back yet cuz of the PCs memory :'(
