Lol ty guys!!@MI
It's sad for us potato people to not have Maywar in SP. And actually all the other stuff.
ya i think i wouldve done better entering a wheel....its really silly ios users couldnt test their entries....oh well congrats either way :D @WaffleCakes
Wow XD I managed to win with a poorly built prop build that took me 5 minutes to build XD XD
thank you very much for testing it out and the awesome feedback. do you know what a good time is for the race yet? what is yours running? it really stinks i cant teat it out.... :-(
@Texasfam04
So get this, I raced your older Texas Racer from the Indy Air Race last year and it runs 100% perfectly clean and it doesn't enter a spin at the start of The Dragon. However it gets 2:43, much slower than your TR-2. However it doesn't spin so its either submit your older Texas Racer or try fixing the spin-start issue with the TR-2.
@Texasfam04
I am happy to inform you that it runs PERFECT. It got all rings and 2:19. It clears the pyramid easily. However it has one big flaw: At the start it goes into a spin. I noticed its because of the huge amounts of power at the low starting speed and the AI wants to pull up. However I noticed if you cut the power and let the airplane glide to 130mph minimum, and then firewall the throttle to 100%, the AI flies the airplane just fine. So it seems the AI doesnt like all that power at a low starting speed. If you could some how delay full power until it gets to 130mph you would have a perfect air racer.
Hey bud, seeing as how i cant test this because the dragon isnt available for me you think you could test it for me and see how it does please? This was a secondary plane i built for the indy race last year, i just added fuel basically...TY Johnny!!!
