Hi all. Challenge time again.
I have started posting videos! Check out the forum.
https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/627614
The challenge is to build a WWI era bi-plane with a single 2-blade propeller that flies no faster than 200 MPH.
It can be any model and it does not have to be a replica.
NO Mods! But fine tuning is allowed.
Only allowed weapon is the mini gun. 2 maximum.
That is right... <200 MPH. 2 Wings. 2 Blades. 2 Guns.
I will take on all challengers using these two bi planes that I have previously built. The Biplane April https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/J4h9I2/Bi-plane-April
and the AGO C.II https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5KD77T/AGO-C-II-WWI-Challenge-SANS-PILOT
I will dogfight the challengers, record a video, five rounds set on medium range, with AI controlling both.
The videos will then be posted on you tube and I will Link it direct to you.
This is not a voting challenge where I choose the one that I like best.
This challenge is to test your building skills and make some cool Bi planes.
Please be a successor. The main cockpit is on the gold bi plane behind the purple mini gun.

@nigonatta nope
is this challenge still open 5 years later
@Kerbango That’s cool, and your building skills MUST be good if you at nearly 50K!
@Datom my piloting skills are not up to par with my building skills. And those aren't all that great. Plus on top of that I have a slow computer so....
@Kerbango cool I like the AI pilot system you do, keeps it fair.
@Datom Yeah something Like this
@Kerbango A video?
@Kerbango ok
@Datom okay I'll make a video soon.
@Mostly yes to make it a fair fight for everybody.
Make all the weapons the same.
Cuz I'm dog fighting other players builds with yours. (You can see them in the successors.)
As well as the two main ones up above.
only minigun?
Hey buddy👋, I’ve just been told about this on a recent post so I can’t make it a successor so can I just link it instead?
If so this is it, sorry :)
@chancey21 cool I haven't done a video in a while.
I’m in
BTW my entry is using turbocharged engines(not in-game,but the real version would have em) so it goes,at max,290,and it has two props,if there were only one,it wouldn't fly,and they have 4 blades,for,reasons that I never read the directions.sry
Does it have to be a biplane?
hope you don't mind dogfighting another one... just entered a plane. I like your challenge.
@Kerbango I just figured out why my Defalco F was so dominant. I accidentally mirrored in two extra guns while building. So that probably should disqualify it for too many guns. Even though we are not playing for points, I wouldn't want to have a unfair advantige. That was my mistake. Sorry about that!
@Swagginpiglet watch the videos trust me there is no advantage.
The blue plane on top goes well over 200 mph that's not really fair if your plane gets a speed advantage...
@Kerbango ok matey!
@phanps nope not too late. bring it on. make it a successor.
is it too late for me to join?
@Kerbango Phenomenal work on the videos. They were a lot of fun to watch! Highlight was head on collision!!!🎆
@LiamW actually scratch that
