Okay, I wanted to keep IAN on the forums, and stay with the requirements idea. But there was only one entry, and I really dont want the IAN to die before it starts to live.
Im realy looking foward for doing challenges again, mainly because the success of the "Ultralight Challenge" that i realy liked to rate the planes and rank they
Enough talking about why I want to do this, lets get to the challenge!
OPENING PHRASE WOW
In this challenge, you have to design a plane for the newly founded IAN, which needs planes for its fleet.
A war in Europe seems certain, and we cannot remain unarmed in a global conflict!
RULES
•You should think about realism: Would Germany enter a place where its enemies are?
• Must be compatible with at least medium physics (For VR creations, it must be low physics).
•350 parts max, 100 parts min
•The plane must be designed between 1936 and 1939
•VR is encouraged, although non-VR aircraft may also enter
•3 entries per person
•Must be able to land and take off from the USS Tiny
•Must be a successor
•i don't like infinite fuel
• No jets!
REWARDS
1st place: 15 upvotes and 3 spotlights (if possible)
2nd place: 10 upvotes and 1 spotlight (if possible)
3rd place: 5 upvotes
1 Upvote for participating
DEADLINE: April 15, 2022
The more detailed, realistic and combat-efficient your plane is, the more chances it has to win.

@DragoransEscarti I found the button when I looked at a newer member. Thank you. Last night I was up half the night creating and installing an active radar with a sweeping line that shows enemies in red, their distances and where they are in relation to you. It was a gigantic pain in the ass to get this thing to work. I'm going to tweak it a little bit more and post it. But, unlike most of the huds that can just be sort of floating, this one cannot. It's because there is a piston that's been modified to sweep a great distance. It is connected to a label. The label is nothing more than a line. So this piston creates the effect of this green line sweeping left to right and back. I laid this over the top of an actual working radar that tracks enemies, distances, and location in relation to you. The working radar itself has one connection to a fuselage (behind it) the left hand side of the radar contains the sweeping line (the Label). It is ONLY connected to the piston, this is critical. Finally the Piston itself it is connected to two things only the Label (the sweeping line) and the fuselage behind it. As long as you understand these connections you should be good to go. What I did is I disconnected the parts from the fuselage by going into connections and manually disconnecting the main radar and the piston from the fuselage which is behind them. Next, I used positioning x,y,z to move that piece of fuselage away from the 3 components of the radar. Once that was accomplished. I used x,y,z to position the three components of the radar onto the dashboard of my aircraft. Once this was done, I connected the piston to my dashboard, connected the main radar to my dashboard, and connected the label (sweeping line) to my piston only. Then I was just a matter of moving things around in relation to one another to make sure it looks good. the two last steps were, I went into the properties of the piston and set it to activate on 7 (so I can make a switch that said radar and it would make the line begin to sweep) finally the last step I used "Z" to hide the piston in my dashboard. That way all you see is a sweeping green line. Sorry this is so long...

well... any name resemblance is purely coincidental
My name is Ian
@BRAZUCA Bf-109, Spitfire, F4F Wildcat
Você pode me dar um exemplo de avião feito nessa época eu não sei de nenhum
@Zaineman nice long comment
@DragoransEscarti I got the radar working but I'm already at my Max uploads for 24 hours. Isn't that a kick in the teeth ? I'll let you know when I post it.
@Zaineman That's fine no problem :)
And there's a button yes, if you see an orange button with a dot with a streak coming out of it, that's the Spotlight button!
@DragoransEscarti hilarious. Sorry about the language thing, I just took what Brazuca said to me and put it in Google translate. Google said it was Spanish. So I used Google translate to send him a message ( I'm retarded) lol (I can say that cuz I am retarded) and thanks for explaining the spotlight thing. Is there a particular button I press I haven't seen anything related ? Also don't sweat the PC thing with me. I think too many people in this world are cry babies when it comes to that sort of thing.
@Zaineman Okay, first:
Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish (as a Brazilian, I can say that)
And second, you need to have more points than the user you want to spotlight. If you bronze user, and you can spotlight him, but you cant do that on a gold user, for example.
@BRAZUCA thank you for spotlighting my posts. If I wanted to spotlight something how would I do it ?
gracias por destacar mis publicaciones. ¿Cómo destaco las publicaciones de otras personas?
Lol
@BRAZUCA Tem que ser o menor, pois como tem que ser em 1936 no mínimo, um porta aviões como o USS Beast são irrealistas.
@MyReaktorIsLeak Alright, as long as I can land on it, it's in!
muda pro maior porta aviões esse é minúsculo demais o avião tem que ser pequeno e leve para pousar nesse porta aviões minusculo
Land on uss tiny.... Wheres my biplane!?
But still, it's very impossible for me to land on USS tiny (unless i'm flying a helicopter)
