@Noidtouse
No. Sorry just realized it still said open
Is this still going?
@Dogedogebread13 I make plane just as limit but 1000kg more it's it good can I qualify
@Dogedogebread13 hey I use boost multiple but reverse I down the engine power is it ok? Pless tell
@KenzarAircraft
yeah it is hard
I would join but the weight limit..
Made a second submission, the GP-232 Emmot.
I'm in with my Lisnox, meeting all the required minimum specifications.
Know what, on second thought, it is possible, just barely
I want to join this challenge
.
But then i saw that i have to make a Bomber that could carry 1.8 (metric) tons of payload with a plane that can only be the weight of a fully loaded P-47, its a pretty tall order, another idea would be an AD-1 Skyraider, but i can't make that either, Because The Weight Limit is Sabotaging It
so you want an 11000lb jet that can carry 4000lb of bombs, what
@Dogedogebread13 I was going to make a bomber, but 6,800 kg? Thats literally 2 tons lighter than an F-16.
@RAIDer1
Yes, although this is meant for light bombers, stuff like fighters with bombs. Also as I have said I want this challenge to be challenging.
My Unloaded weight is 77,000 lbs apropx and loaded weight is 123,000 lbs (with 6,870 gallons of fuel)
In metric
35 tons empty
56 tons loaded
26000 ltrs of fuel
@Dogedogebread13 well ok i miss read it that no more that 15000 lbs of bombs
Well most of the bombers were in the category of 15 tons-30 tons (medium bombers)
@RAIDer1 ah I see thank you!
@RAIDer1
Actually I had given all parameters at the beginning of the post and you may have just misread it
@RAIDer1
I’m talking about unloaded weight, also this is supposed to be challenging
@Randomplayer Emgine power multiplying through XML is also called boost multiplayer
@RAIDer1 really dumb question, what’s boost multiplyer?
This is right up my alley
Note as u didn't had given any limits at the start i am over it by a lot well and have invested 2 days for productivity in it
@Dogedogebread13 in my opinion their should be a weight limit on the airport as during 1950 bomber aircraft development didn't had any limitations they wanted the best .
@Dogedogebread13 ah 15000 lbs is only 6.8 tons and the 8000lbs bombs are 3.6 tons
@CrestelAeronautics
also the weight limit (unloaded) was 15000 lbs
