@LeWhaleShark before fuselage blocks, people would make the fuselages out of wings, which would make some really weird flight characteristics. That's why structural panels don't provide lift. Glad I could help :)
Pretty good. It looks amazing and there's only a minor problem with the fuel in the front right fuselage block, and once that's fixed it flies great too
Just a tip: strctural panels and wings are not the same thing. Because you made the main wings from structural panels, the planes CoL is so far back that pitching is nearly impossible
I switched between full version and beta many times, and my planes always synced over to the new version perfectly fine. Just download the version off of the App Store again, there shouldn't be a problem
@bspboy basically the goal of that bit is to get the part you want to nudge a set distance away from the plane ( which is what the 0.5 length fuselage block is for) without it being connected to it. And if you are learning how to do the normal way, I wouldn't try to do the advanced stuff about thin fuselage blocks in parentheses, because it's confusing and a pain to do correctly
Good tips. i think I might write a tutorial of how to essentially "nudge" on iOS, because it doesn't seem like many people have figured it out for themselves
If we don't get this, then at least a scroll bar in the load planes list similar to the one when you choose planes for dogfights/races. If I want to fly something starting with w or x I have to scroll for minutes to get to it
@Astron1 no, there are plenty of modded engines people have uploaded, and you can take modded parts off other planes too. So it'll be a little more difficult, but you can still enter modded designs on mobile. That's what I'm doing
@BULSA there is a bug where if a plane is going fast it might count a ring as missed even if it went through. This bug is not in the version of the game that the tournament is run on, so you don't need to worry about it
@Flightsonic yea, if you do make them unlisted people should hopefully upvote something of yours for making them a logo but everyone doesn't always do that
@PhilipTarpley if at all possible, could you leave sandbox AI in as an option, even if it tanks the performance of slower devices? Personally I would love to fly around with other planes if all I had to do was turn my physics settings down to compensate
This is really cool. I made one a while ago, and this just blows it out of the water. I especially like the way the nose looks on this, it just looks menacing
@Typhlosion130 yea, but they usually say their plane only makes it sometimes, but this doesn't seem close to crashing which is really good. And it's better to make a slow and consistent plane so I wouldn't push the time further if I were you. The winning plane has never been the fastest plane
Dude.. You could win this tournament. It hasn't crashed once for me yet and it does like 1:08's, that's the best time I've seen with a consistent plane
@Pauciloquent I was tweaking the weighting to see how maneuverable I could get it and I moved the CoM too far back so it couldn't correct it's after the first turn and lost control
@Geekpride I feel so much. My design is more of a contraption than a plane so when it nearly crashes into the hangar rather than going through the first bridge i know something went wrong
The flight characteristics makes it feel more like a spaceship, however difficult it may be to use

@SUPERSAMROCK ok, thanks :)
Help a mobile out, is it only the arc, then the race is over? There's no turns afterwards or anything?
@Pilotmario semi-semetic, grammar nazi. Wordplay game: too strong lmao
@TehDuck why would the devs need to see it? Anyone with the inclination and a computer could make them

@bspboy after you put the cockpit on the engine you can just move it to the other side
@bspboy here's the images

@bspboy I could try and add pictures, I'll see if I can figure it out. Are you confused about anything in particular, or just the process in general?
You should tag this with the YouTube-weasel zone tag so he can more easily find it
@bspboy of how to do this?
@SpiritusRaptor here it is. Seeing how long the explanation of it actually is really makes me wish there was actual nudge on mobile

I doubt that the guns in sp are historically accurate to either gun so I don't see why it matters at all
@Liquidfox tbh the last 45 minutes of the tournament is where nearly all the excitement usually is
@MrNinja yes, the version the devs use doesn't have that problem
@RAF1 if any planes haven't finished the course in 3 minutes it counts as a loss for that plane
@Chemicalau as long as all the predecessors are yours, it can be entered in the tournament
@Chemicalau just take them off. It's still a weapon and it's not going to help you anyways
It's even strong enough to take off and fly around with, this is really cool
@Astron1 no, there are plenty of modded engines people have uploaded, and you can take modded parts off other planes too. So it'll be a little more difficult, but you can still enter modded designs on mobile. That's what I'm doing
Build any style of plane you want, but make it fly backwards instead of forwards

@Flightsonic yea, if you do make them unlisted people should hopefully upvote something of yours for making them a logo but everyone doesn't always do that
@Flightsonic I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I could be wrong but it's worth a shot
It's things like this that make me glad mobile has a download restriction
@Flightsonic why not just upload them as unlisted and give people the links to avoid the daily upload limit?
Is the new tournament going to be announced?
@PhilipTarpley if at all possible, could you leave sandbox AI in as an option, even if it tanks the performance of slower devices? Personally I would love to fly around with other planes if all I had to do was turn my physics settings down to compensate
@Thefalloutplayr he said he wants them too, but I think everyone can agree the AI need improving first
Yay mobile :)
@ShatterFox when you click the three lines in the top right, then select show drag. It makes parts white or red depending on how much drag they create
This is really cool. I made one a while ago, and this just blows it out of the water. I especially like the way the nose looks on this, it just looks menacing
I saw this and was like that's a really good mettaton replica, then I find out it actually works too!
This is amazing!
I loved these as a kid, nice job!
You shouldn't have lost :(
@BritishNarwhal it's just a bug in the spawn position
@Typhlosion130 yea, but they usually say their plane only makes it sometimes, but this doesn't seem close to crashing which is really good. And it's better to make a slow and consistent plane so I wouldn't push the time further if I were you. The winning plane has never been the fastest plane
How much of this is going to come to mobile on the full release?
Dude.. You could win this tournament. It hasn't crashed once for me yet and it does like 1:08's, that's the best time I've seen with a consistent plane
@Thefalloutplayr andrew also said that any engines that are detached from the cockpit are automatically disabled in their build of the game
@Pauciloquent I was tweaking the weighting to see how maneuverable I could get it and I moved the CoM too far back so it couldn't correct it's after the first turn and lost control
@Geekpride I feel so much. My design is more of a contraption than a plane so when it nearly crashes into the hangar rather than going through the first bridge i know something went wrong
@kikasshes a "172" not the actual one but one that's similar to the blue one in the bandit tournament
