Getting some really wild RNG when testing a new design on this.
Sometimes I get zero missed rings, other times I've had as many as eight...
Makes fixing a plane a bit harder because I'm sometimes left guessing just what went wrong.
I might not win this, but at least it'll give people some laughs and gasps of amazement.
Then again, I might win this on reliability alone if RNG favours me.
Right, got another glorious example of the finest Imperial Japanese engineering as entry for this.
May the eight million bless this plane and bring it to victory.
Got two decent designs doing the course in resp 40 and 50 seconds, although they got an issue with missed rings. :(
So either I need to improve that, or pick the one who's more likely to get least time penalty.
@ThatOnion
Then it is doubly weird that I get screen tearing since VSync exists to remove it.
So with it enabled I shouldn't be having it.
Maybe my hardware is so OP that it needs triple buffering as well; and I'm not sure if this game has it. :D

@DerekSP Yes, that should be fine. The main issue lies with successors to other people's planes.
Anyhow, time for me to make another superior IJN plane to beat all opponents.
One of the few russian ships to survive Tsushima.
The IJN sure did a number on the russians there. :P
@SlowJet Even better, a 5000mph star fortress. j/k
Just wait and see. ;)

I'm miffed.
I lost to a glitch plane.
Imo, glitch planes should be forbidden in non-mod tournaments.
@SuperSanic
Nope, I managed to be a finalist and I'm still bronze, which was at The Dragon from 5 months ago.
Did ¿Andrew? run a validation check yet?
@SlowJet
Oh please, you can reach 730 or so using only a single engine.
Got my usual style of entry ready for this tournament.
I expect to be decent competition for the others.
@EarthwormJim
Inb4 it crashes or glitches through every ring and a 1500mph plane beats it. ;)
@TheNonns
Think I see one slight problem with your plane: a lack of discernable landing gears.
@Zkillerwolfe
Oh goody, then I should pass the validator no problem.
Hm... it is all right to enter a successor to one of your own originals, right?
Myes, myes, keep glitching like that and I'll have all the more chances of winning. ;)
@FlyingFanatic Pretty sure your plane needs to finish the course within 3 minutes to even qualify.

Guess I'll try running it with it disabled then.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
edit
Seems the problem persists regardless of VSync state.
Guess I'll just have to live with it then.

Anyhow, thanks for the help.
I am reminded of an animated short film called: The Cockpit: Sonic Boom Squadron.
Think there might be a video of it on youtube.

Shinpu soujuushi? Tennoheika banzai!
May my glorious Nishi A1N Akufu be guided to victory by Shouwa-Tenno! ;)
And time for a last-minute entry change.
Prepare to be surprised by this glorious Nippon-ish artwork. ;)
Got a new and improved Senden as entry this time.
100% Reliable according to my tests.
May Shouwa-Tenno bless my plane and let it win.
Well, looks like I am the beloved of the all-might RNG; I placed second. :O
Tennoheika banzai!
That was bullshit; 3 missed rings in the second race and a crash in the third.
Didn't have any of that happening while testing it. D:
Anyhow, pointers for improving my airplanes is appreciated.
