There seems to be these long gaps between tournaments, and I know there’s a piece of this community - including me - that would really appreciate more regularly scheduled tournaments. Is there a way we could have monthly/bimonthly tournaments held by the dev team, or release the tournament tool used and allow the community to schedule tournaments? I think it’s something we all would really appreciate. @AndrewGarrison
Alright yeah that makes some sense. You probably know more about this than me lol but I’m pretty sure its a glitch. I’m just gonna agree to disagree @Zkillerwolfe
Thanks @Maximis yeah I’m not trying to be a tinfoil hat but yeah I just thought it seemed a little strange but if people want to say stuff back like that thats fine too I guess because they have freedom of speech. I’m glad you can see my side of the argument tho.
The wings are tiny vertical stabilizers which don’t make any difference in CoL or CoM - they had no fuel in them. The other fuselage blocks woild have no impact on aerodynamics as they are mostly nudged into the plane, with no fuel or dead weight in them so it’s not like it changes the position of the CoM or anything. You’re right, I’m making an assumption, but I think it’s a fairly more reasonable statement than you think I’m making. @Zkillerwolfe
Btw, I have confirmed KiNo’s airplane Dampfwespe is using a glitch to win: when I removed all the “useless parts”, for instance tiny wings or fuselage blocks with nothing in them, Dampfwespe consistently missed a ring. Not sure why this would happen but this is definite evidence of Dampfwespe using a glitch.
Not a professional programmer, but I do it as a hobby and I believe the reason why there are AI crashes with microdrops in performance is because a lack of the use of multiplying Time.deltaTime in the variables which control the AI. @AndrewGarrison
@SuperSanic I see you’re kind of the expert on nudged planes here, mine is fast and acrobatic but the AI hates it. Could you help me fix it? Here’s the link: http://www.simpleplanes.com/a/29p08d/Siko-919
@Awsomur I don’t think that’s because he thinks he should win every game, I think it’s because he takes football seriously and he hates to lose. But that doesn’t nessecarily mean he expects to win.
Excaaayooooose me, Pats fan here. All this talk about Deflategate - this happened several years ago, and it’s pretty obvious to me that Roger Goodell is just trying to unfairly level the playing field (first the Deflategate suspension with no proof and now Ezekiel Elliott suspended with no proof he did what people think he did). Second, in what way in any shape or form is Tom Brady cocky? I feel like he’s the opposite of that: just gets his job done and keeps going. All that being said, I like Aaron Rodgers and the Packers too because I like how they stuck to their small-town roots in Green Bay. Ok, rant over.

+11Thanks @Texasfam04
@Texasfam04 yeah I was trying to make it fly but eventually just gave up and uploaded it. Its tough for some reason
Yeah and a lot of gyroscopes @Texasfam04
Oh yeah @Texasfam04
Congrats @Texasfam04 !!!
DUDE YOU WON! Great job!!! @Texasfam04
and...it crashes again! Help @AndrewGarrison
nvm lol
I can't get livestream
@Texasfam04 no way
@Texasfam04 lol
Last second submission of a 0:35 plane with 70 percent reliability. please please please please please please pleeeeeeease don't crash...
@Maximis Thanks man!! The trick is attaching those wings to the body.
Alright yeah that makes some sense. You probably know more about this than me lol but I’m pretty sure its a glitch. I’m just gonna agree to disagree @Zkillerwolfe

When I say fuselage blocks with nothing in them, I mean ones not used for structure

My plane is named “stonehenge is dum” because it is
Thanks. This was actually my first build on SP and yeah I think its one of my favorites because of how unique it is @Texasfam04
Yeah nudging and backwards facing propellers and lots of control surfaces are usually what good tournament planes use @Texasfam04
Ah ok @EarthwormJim
Damn

By XML nudging @TheTekkit101
Thanks! Yeah this was originally a speed plane but slowed it down in favor of reliability @Texasfam04
Thanks!! Hope it gets past at least 2 rounds in the tournament @Texasfam04
44 secs at 6/7 reliability
Fixed it. Around 95 reliability and 3 seconds slower @Zkillerwolfe
How good is 1:28 average at a 73.3 percent completion rate on this course? @SuperSanic
Wat happen
Mine is 2:07 at a 66% completion rate
Idk. How fast? @thefish53
You sure? @SuperSanic
It can’t get any worse lol @EarthwormJim

Thanks! My first build on SP so I’m glad you liked it. @MI
I assume 2:44 isn’t very good? @SuperSanic
Thanks. @SuperSanic
How do you fix “the shakes”? It’s really slowing my plane down.
