I'll take that onboard. As you said I've also noticed a lot of amazing designers who get little recognition who then lose motivation to design. @ccooper
It's sad that people exploit broken parts of the game like detachers to win races. Would be such an exciting tournament if everyone used legitimate aerodynamic principles to build their best racers. Competitiveness brings out the ugly in a lot of people.
I guess at the end of the day it's an arcade game rather than a simulation.
Wow that's surprising with my lower wing loading, higher power to weight and less drag. My sims said otherwise. Were these long range head on engagements or close range dogfights? @FearlessFabFlightIndustries

My aircraft matched it in the dogfight. Long range engagements resulted in either a head on or double kill. Neither aircraft had weapons kills from close start range. They kept chasing each other until one of them hit the ground. That wing loading you have is ridiculous! Turns on a dime! The CF136 is the only aircraft so far to give this one a run for its money and probably even bully it around a bit. Beautiful design!
I also uploaded Version 2 which has smaller control surfaces if the AI is having trouble with over controlling the aircraft. It may not be as agile though. @hadesrocksz
Very tidy design.
Beautiful design. You make unique jet aircraft!
Beautiful modelling. Well done.
Thankyou! @Treadmill103
Thankyou! Both the push-pull and twin boom concepts are beautiful engineering! @JacobHardy64
That's the inspiration. @LiamW
It's.....different.

Very kind of you to say that. Thank you!

Which aircraft did I lose to?
supersonic dogfighter
Im in dogfighter
Did you receive my entry ? @Halfstrike
I'd like to enter my concept aircraft. Link
Nice realistic looking design.
I'd like to enter this
Thank you!
Thanks! @hadesrocksz
Nice touch to it.
Try this
DUW-2C fuel economy will get me with no modded parts but that's my effort. @AwesomeBoeingMaster788
Thanks! I'm very happy with this one @Noman0rumeral
Impressive!
Well done
I'm in
It's great to see support from the established members.@RedHawk
Cleaning up my aircraft list. This is the updated version. Just changed missile configuration. No real need to update.
PAK-FA Inspired
Love the detail @Noman0rumeral
Thank you @Noman0rumeral
Enjoy mate. Love your work. @Noman0rumeral
You're welcome. Loving the replicas and designs @Noman0rumeral
You're welcome. It's a tidy looking design and I love the ingenuity of the twin rotors. Keep working on the concept! @QSDragon
I work with these so it was nice to see one on the site. Keep them coming mate! @Noman0rumeral
I'm exploring the concept as well! Check this out if you want. It's high alpha capable between 200mph and 400 mph in standard configuration.

Keep them coming!
@amazingperson124
Awesome, thanks for the lesson. Link
Hope to see one from you in the near future!
Very nice!
@amazingperson124
Thank you. No idea how to hyperlink on this site.
Do you have a flying wing concept?

@TheLieutenant I know your pain! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/bfAJzT/Flying-Wing-Bomber-Concept
Gorgeous!

Thank you! That's my first fighter design! @hadesrocksz
Thanks. I found if the AI could get to 400mph before yanking back full on the stick then it will out turn almost anything. @hadesrocksz
Hoping you got the submission. Should be fairly competitive. Any feedback is appreciated!
