What does Scale and MaxScale mean? (Quoted from 1.2.1) “The aerodynamic surfaces must be scaled 0.5 on all axes, and must have a massScale value of 0.5.”
Alright, I’ve filled out the application. I’ll experiment with some front wing designs with the new rules. Should I also start on blueprints for the body itself? @marcox43
Alright, I’ll check that off. I currently work on Mobile (my computer’s broken) so you’ll have to change some things with the XML aspect requirements, (not sure if you read the rule book). We’ll have to decide on roles, I wanted to work on the downforce surfaces and suspension, so maybe you could work on the body and drivetrain. I could work on some drawn-out plans for the car. @marcox43
Ah! I was thinking of the off-road cars. That would be a good idea! I’m working on a front wing now, and I found that using the normal wings are really thick, and hard to make a vortex generator with. @KingHandspider , will we be able to use (some) XML parts for size only? Also: what are the rules for the series as in car dimensions, shape, and XML? @marcox43
Could you tag me when you have this formula series running? I’d love to join! (I’ve built a few F1 and IndyCars in SimplePlanes and a competition sounds really fun).
@MrAspy I’m currently working on a drivetrain for a vehicle that can transport great loads very quickly over rough land. I’ll tag you in the post when I’ve finished.
Everything you did was great (nice little ship, good looking) except the weight and balance as well as the thrust-lift ratio was off.
These can be some tricky things to fix.
I went ahead and XML’d the engines so they’re way more (20x more) powerful for a better climb rate. The only problem is that you need to move your center of lift forward. I would suggest hiding (horizontal) wings in the nose and front fuselage to fix this.
JAY JAY THE JET- oh jeez Gerald, is that supposed to be here? No? Cut the tape! Cut! Cut! Oh god it has bombs! Cut the tape before the children see this! Good lord!
Ah. Alright! I’ve applied for my team, any word on other teams applying? @KingHandspider
What does Scale and MaxScale mean? (Quoted from 1.2.1) “The aerodynamic surfaces must be scaled 0.5 on all axes, and must have a massScale value of 0.5.”
Oh it is? Didn’t know that! @marcox43
Alright, sounds good! I can’t wait until it’s finished. @marcox43

Alright, that sounds good. I’ll fill out the team application. @marcox43
Who’s going to be team manager? Im okay if not, we’d just need a driver. @marcox43
Ooh, good idea. The suspension sags, so tilting the tires would allow for more grip. @marcox43

I like Aroura Racing. We could go with that. @marcox43
Sorry, I meant four.
Section 1.2.1, 9th bulliten down.
Alrighty. What should the team name be? Perhaps something like Lotus Racing Team, or something else. Idk. @marcox43
@KingHandspider , in the rules it says no more than 6 downforce surfaces for the front wing, is that for each side or for the wing total?
Hey @marcox43 ! I’ve made the thread (as you can see).
I’ll make a to-do list of things we need to complete for this team.
Alright! I’ll make a thread where we can communicate about the car. @marcox43
Hey @marcox43 , wanna work together?
Alrighty. Will this be a tournament-style thing? I assume the PDF will be posted on that thread. @KingHandspider
Also: where will the rules be posted? Thanks. @KingHandspider
Thanks so much man! I’m super excited. How will teams work? Will there be one person making a car or multiple people on a team? @KingHandspider
Cool beans! I’m looking forward to this! @KingHandspider
What about Formula Silver stylized as FS?
Are we talking about Formula 1 style vehicles? @marcox43

+1As in rally cars? @marcox43
Could you tag me when you have this formula series running? I’d love to join! (I’ve built a few F1 and IndyCars in SimplePlanes and a competition sounds really fun).
Names:

Idk :p
IDK HOW TO TYPE IM SORRY 😂@Fluffiboo
😂 thanks for pointing that out! I’ll change that real quick... @BACconcordepilot
May I ask what the actual f* this is
OH MY G O D
Now I see why it’s tagged ‘bomber’

I’ve been playing for years and I can’t do something like this.
A M A Z I N G job!
+2Yep. I know. A wee mistake. @GermanWarMachine
So sorry to ask again, I did it wrong. Perhaps 160 degrees will work. Can you help? Thanks.
@Minecraftpoweer
THanks so much! I’ll tag you in my build. @Minecraftpoweer
As you might not know I’m on IOS so I cannot XML mod.
Check before assuming ;)
@GermanWarMachine
Yes please :)
@Minecraftpoweer
You know, I don’t really like Orion’s Belt. I only give it 3 Stars.
It’s a big waist of space.
+7I’ve tagges you in it, not sure if you received. @MrAspy
Your memes are old, but have a tint of spice. Nice job.
People would make their own weapons but it’s really hard to make stuff blow up. That’s why they mod.
Haha this is hilarious. You just made a bunch of versions of it so it wouldn’t look like you plagiarized it from @SpirtusRaptor
@MrAspy I’m currently working on a drivetrain for a vehicle that can transport great loads very quickly over rough land. I’ll tag you in the post when I’ve finished.
Okay so how exactly does this work? I have a very simple chassis and I’m wondering how to submit it.
Is it possible to change my position from “airplane” to “drivetrain” engineer? Thanks!
OKay so I found the problem.

Nice plane! Good luck!

Let me take a look
A bit off topic:
I didn’t know you played Infinite Flight.
Who are you on the forum? @Planefun
If there’s any requests I’m willing to take them
I definitly will @ZHUAREVONI
