@RaidenSquad Please check again, I think you've made a mistake. The Starbird has two of the engines you supplied for this contest, I didn't change anything on them.
Also, I'm not sure what you're saying the problem is with the body. Yes, I used fuselage blocks - the contest says we can use fuselage stuff and you included fuselage blocks with the engine. What's the problem?
Well, I'm in with an upgraded version of my Airstrip Drag entry. It's a reliable 40 second car, but doesn't have disabled collisions. Bring on the crashes!
@Karma 1:26 is a fairly slow time for this track. If you can make it faster, that would be good. If you can't make it faster, don't worry too much - there are always lots of crashes in the tournament, so a slow one that doesn't crash can do quite well.
@ESIOTROT121 If you'd like to try using parts that have collisions disabled, JakeTheDogg helpfully put up a pack of parts with that already done. I used them to build my plane for this tournament.
Thanks, Delphinus! I've gone for a last-minute change of design and managed to shave a few seconds off my time. I think it's pretty good - as long as the AI behaves itself.
@AudioDud3 It will be streamed on Twitch. A link to the stream will be on the tournament page shortly after the deadline for submitting entries passes.
@Pilotmario It doesn't matter that much, this design wasn't going to work anyway. I'm now thinking of a much smaller and simpler plane with fixed landing gear.
I've uploaded a successor, but it is not my entry to this contest - it's a failure that's interesting enough to share, and that others might want to play with.
@CrazyBrick15 Then you've got nothing to worry about. As long as you're using the T1000, T2000 or T3000 propeller, you'll be fine.
Some of the early versions of the game had two different props that actually acted more like weak jet engines - those are the ones that aren't allowed in prop class tournaments.
@xXDeadlyTXx The planes are flown by the AI. You can watch on Twitch once the races start, check this page just after the deadline for entries and there'll be a link to the stream.
@abrarhasansami I'm pretty sure the "no old props" rule means you can't use the ones like in this post - you should be fine with the T1000, T2000 and T3000 engines from your version.
I'm pretty sure the rule was brought in because the other old props actually acted like weak jet engines, not propellors.
This thing was amazing in the Snow Crawl tournament. It was finishing in 39 or 40 seconds, and no-one else was managing to get under one minute. It's just in a league of its own, and I am in awe.
My entry's in. It won't be the fastest, but might be the ugliest. And it does seem to finish consistently, so might make it through a couple of rounds.

I'm in, my Teranor is up as a successor.
OK, my new entry is in. It's the Senji, and it's up as a successor.
@RaidenSquad OK, I'll make a new one. Is it OK to change the size of the wings, as long as the engines are on them?

I'd quite like to do another car race, but make it an unlimited class one. Let's have some jet and prop powered cars!
I'm in, my Vyop is up as a successor.
I'm in, my Emmem is up as a successor.
Just watched our race, it was a good one and you definitely had the better car. Well done!
I'm in, my Tangrim is up as a successor.

Thank you very much!
@cooladdy257 In a power dive, I managed to get this up to 2000 mph, only about Mach 2.6.
I'm in, my Cykris is up as a successor.
@OliverOne brucethemoose has very kindly put some downforce wings up for people to use.
@UMBRELLA1120 I've never played that - but I just looked up the plane and you're right, they do look pretty similar.

First attempt gets me a time of 1:05. Now to add more speed!
I'm in, my Tayon Trimotor is up as a successor.
Very nice! Super fast to take off, flies nicely and has an impressively low stall speed for the short landings.

Congratulations again, KiNo. Will anyone ever beat you in a tournament?
I don't know how you do it, but once again you're in a different league to everyone else. An excellent machine.
We had a good race in the tournament. Nice plane.
@Gestour Was your plane up when Andrew ran his rounds of checking the planes for illegal mods? It might have been downloaded for those.
@Gestour If it's got 1 download, that'll be it being downloaded to the tournament computer.
And the deadline has passed! Let's get racing!
I'm betting there'll be lots of crashes.
@Tully2001 0:39 with a similar level of reliability.
Thanks, Delphinus! I've gone for a last-minute change of design and managed to shave a few seconds off my time. I think it's pretty good - as long as the AI behaves itself.
May the best plane win!

My second entry, the Skivvy, is up as a successor.
Cool videos!
Yay, victory!
I'm in, my Resdo is up as a successor.
My first official entry to the contest, the Maudem, is up as a successor.

@TemDesBur It would be cool - if it worked. Sadly, it tends to destroy itself.

Just watched the video of the dogfight between your entry and mine, it was great!
Thank you very much, mikoyanster. Glad you liked the design.
Congratulations, you knocked me out the tournament. You should check out the video, it's quite entertaining.
This looks cool, I really like it.
Tournament Status currently reads "0 matches remaining of -86 total matches". I think something may have gone a bit wrong...
My entry's in. It won't be the fastest, but might be the ugliest. And it does seem to finish consistently, so might make it through a couple of rounds.
Thank you very much!
@CrazyBrick15 Building a vehicle you can drive well is relatively easy. Building one the AI can drive well is much, much harder.
