@Winterro I'm building a walker with the leg controls of this thing, but it is having trouble moving forward without rotating in a circle during a step. What should I do?
@winterro I've put a joint rotator and a wing panel on either side of the torso in the same manor as the bear, but nothing has changed. The code is what it is in the bear, they are spinning very quickly. is there something I'm missing?
@winterro When you say 'scale wing physics to a minimum using liftscale', do you mean to 0? Or slightly above that. BTW, If there's a propulsion device in the head, how can it move underwater?
@winterro Each of the tail segments that move on my Mosasaur has a wing panel inside it. Do I just need to have a strip of large-ish wings going down the length. and if so, should I make the torso move as well?
@winterro You say to put propusion in the head, but the eel and this Plesiosaur don't have that. My Mosasaur is just sitting in the water, not going anywhere.
@winterro How did you do it with the European eel? Liftscale doesn't appear in the list of variables on Overload when I try to do it. I add the variable, then it disappears...
@winterro The flippers I'm adding are for stability, rather than propulsion. I was thinking if adding a strip of wing paneling down the spine of the animal. I was unwilling to put propulsion in the build so that it could move underwater like this thing.
@winterro If you were making a Mosasaur that was controlled like this, how would you do it? I'm trying to make one without an engine, but it doesn't want to move forward.
@Manisdead I think it's common courtesy to give each entry an upvote as the creator of the challenge.
BTW, 3 and a half months is a tad long for people to remember about your challenge. If you find that submissions grind to a halt, maybe post a reminder.
@Jagdtiger131 There was one submission that I allowed which had two props on the nose, one behind the other. I probably would have given this a 6/10 for looks and a 5/10 for features.
@Winterro New problem: Moa

@Khozikofi Sure. I hope it's stable.
@winterro Please check out the build (link below)

@winterro Hinge rotator, I assume.
@winterro So propulsion is created by a wing panel on a rotator... Is it scaled to 0?

@winterro If there is an engine in there, how does it work under the water?

@winterro I've done it with body segments, because a Mosasaur uses its tail to move. should I put wings within those or something?

@TheUltimatePlaneLover Engine type was not at all specified. I only mention planes with props because those are the only real ones I know of.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover What makes you think it's not going to be?
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries I'm not closing this for 10 hours.
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries That's not specified, just keep going. I'm closing this some time tomorrow
@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries I guess one where the wings aren't fully fused. Think you can make it in 24 hours?
@asteroidbook345 Yeah

@Mousewithamachinegun122 @TheUltimatePlaneLover I'd like to see you try. That would be very impressive.
@Kerbango I based the body of the craft of an Airboat

@KudaOni I totally should have just put the cone at an angle against the black backdrop. 'There is a problem with your windows browser'.

I hope you didn't mean to post this 4 months ago, 'cause it looks pretty neat. maybe not in the top 10, but better than others I've seen.
@Dogedogeman1 :D
@Bellcat It's a Side-by-side. It's meant for off road
@FarrowTECH You've got less than an hour to submit it.
@Wake8472 Is that link the T.P.P.S.M.A?
@Wake8472 It litterally says in the description that it must be a successor
@FarrowTECH I do that all the time
Everybody else gets an extra four days. I'm going on holiday, so it's more convenient for me.
Those of you who haven't yet submitted something, you are running out of time
@PlaneMaker12022006 well done... I guess.
@PlaneMaker12022006 Just up the Horsepower on the props.
@TWDDerSharkmarine Just read the description again.
@TWDDerSharkmarine Some multi-engine aircraft do have counter rotating propellers.
@TWDDerSharkmarine Go further down the comment chain and you will see.
@mcaircraftcorparation Well you've uploaded the same build twice. You wanna take one down, or what?
@Novaxomix It needs to be a successor
@dogooman1 I'm trying to make this one a bit tougher, 'cause it's got a max part count. All the others with full cockpits are under 150.
@Hiimakeplanes right.
@Hiimakeplanes I didn't even think they existed until you submitted that plane.
@Hiimakeplanes according to Google they do.
@mcaircraftcorporation Is this a better version? I can only do one.
@FarrowTECH Yeah, go ahead.
