That’s a shame, I really want a pretty much straight race track to test out just the forward speed of aircraft. Please consider putting in the game, or at least making at straight aircraft race?
You check what paint scheme it’s using, for example (red and white, custom, default.) then do the subassembly procedure, and set the paint on the new one to the same one as the old one was. If you actually can do it, then I can’t rate this, and it has to be a successor.
I am testing on high physics, and I don’t remember seeing the backstory for some reason, but I’ve adjusted my marks. If you wish, I’ll try to get some other judges for this post, but if it works well on one device then it should provide identical performance on other devices (provided they are on the same settings)
Aesthetics 6.5/10. I like the overall design of the fuselage and wings, and the custom cockpit and guns are greatly appreciated, but the VTOL nozzles are rather repetitive, as are the VTOL RCN’s (-0.5p). Despite that, the arrangement of inlets and overall look this aircraft is above average.
Functionality 4.25/10. It takes off fine, and the AG 1 booster feature is interesting, but it mostly ended up in me upside down (-0.5p). The aircraft also wouldn’t let me fly for longer than 30 seconds at full speed, because it kept exploding (-1p). If the VTOL was even and it didn’t explode, it would rated much higher. Maybe try again in a different version.
Impressions 1.5/5. My first impressions were that the takeoff was stable (+0.5p), AG 1 launched a nuke that ended up in me pitching upwards at 100 feet and that full speed was another word for the big red button activator (not the best first impressions)
Aerodynamics 5.5/10. The takeoff is smooth, AG 1 ends up in you pitching up very heavily (try and fix that) and full speed is North Korea’s fantasy. Apart from that however, pitch and roll are very fast and responsive, but it doesn’t make up for the random explosions.
Description 1.5/3. Explains how it works well, but includes a very short backstory, pretty poor description.
Overall 19.25/38 (51%). Would be a lot higher if some of these issues were fixed (explosions) but for now it remains an unreliable red and white combustion simulation. note as long as you don’t fly at the full 100% it doesn’t seem to explode, but I still really want to reach that full speed, and there is no mention of it in the description
Oh no, leave it as it is. The AI is really dumb, it can’t really fly any of my planes either. Just submit your plane the way it is, I’m the one testing it anyway.
Ok, you take the Firebird, take off the cockpit and drag it into subasemblies. Download my challenge, then get rid of the drones and drag your firebird into it. Then add the cockpit onto your build and that’s it
Aesthetics 5/10. The plane looks alright, but I image that a glossy red and white camouflage would not be your best ally in a combat situation, especially when you don’t want to be noticed (-0.5p). The minigun fused with the fuselage is, however, a nice touch (+0.5p). The forward wings are also eye candy, and overall, this isn’t a bad looking plane. However, it’s not the best either.
Functionality 9/10. For what’s it meant to be, this aircraft is absolutely incredible. It’s relatively fast, very manoeuvrable and armed to the teeth. Not only does it have a large Arsenal of missiles, the bombs are a nice added touch, well done on the performance of this aircraft!
Impressions. 3.5/5. My impressions were that it looked alright, but flew like a dream, and they seem to have held up!
Aerodynamics. 8/10. This plane pitches forward a bit (not a problem because of the trim) but also pitches up a bit too in some some situations (again, not a problem) and the manoeuvrability is very good, but in a dogfight, the speed leaves it having a very large turn radius, which means you have to turn down the throttle in a dogfight. I like the way you’ve incorporated pitch into the front wings via the rotator as well (+0.5p)
Description 0.75/3. Not a very detailed description, not much info at all…
Overall 26.25/38 (69%) A pretty good plane, but from an older era of SP and it shows. Maybe some more modern features like VTOL would have been nice, but overall, not bad!
Yes, they will judge on posts that I need help with, or if they just feel like judging. I would recommend adding some custom parts, fixing the cockpit to make it flush the fuselage, putting some more weight in the back, and making two segments to one fuselage piece, uppers and lower. This means that (basically) one fuselage piece can be two different colours, which makes it look much better. I’ve done this with my R65-14C, JA-32B, Isoptera 220 and Ptolemy S3 if you want to have a look. Good plane though!
Aesthetic 5.5/10. A relatively average looking plane. No decals or custom landing gear, but I did like the coloured tracers from the wing guns. (0.5p attention to detail) A neutral, military camouflage that is quite realistic, and I liked the dihedrals on the wings (+0.5p) One thing to note is to make a more realistic cockpit, and make it flush with fuselage, but otherwise, pretty good! Also, the cockpits view is actually very nice, I have to award an extra point for it!
Functionality 6/10. The first thing I noticed is that it rolled in the opposite direction to which it should, which is a very easily fixable problem, but makes it feel a bit rushed (-0.5p). It pitches forward a fair bit (-0.5p) but roll and controlled pitch seem fitting for an aircraft of this type. (+0.5p) As a fighter, this aircraft is an absolute beast. Able to effectively boom ‘n’ zoom at over Mach 2 (at high altitude) is just beautiful. Almost no missiles could catch me, and the enemies were just outclassed massively. (+2p)
Impressions 3/5. Personally I think the flying capabilities are pretty good (apart from pitch and the inverted roll) and the looks are pretty meh, nothing special. This plane is a pretty good aircraft in my opinion, but just a few fixes need to be made.
Aerodynamics 8/10. Pitch (pitches forward, otherwise great), rudder (seems to work fine, with no problems) and roll (works great and with no issues). Of course, the speed is the main point of this machine, and it gets an A+ In this area! 2000mph is likely more than you’ll ever need, so it’s a great asset to this aircraft.
Description 2.25/3. A pretty good description, a little short for my liking, but you forgot to credit the gun makers name (-0.5p)
Overall, this is a well rounded, very fast plane that, despite looking not very pleasing, is a speed machine, and a pretty efficient fighter. 24.75/38 (65.1%)
Aesthetics - 8.5/10. The decals are a nice addition and aren’t plastered all over the build. The modified inlets on the top of the engines are also relatively pleasing to the eye. The wing dihedrals and overall appearance of this build is good, but could use some more custom parts (landing gear) the Quad engine set up is also quite unique and nice.
Functionality - 7.5/10. As a reconnaissance drone, this does pretty well, the manoeuvrability would be an asset in getting Intel (from pictures) and the relatively high top speed would be useful. However, I imagine that 4 high power jet engines would make quite a big heat signature, which would be something to work on. (Lower the weight, use XML modded engines to consume less fuel)
Impressions - 4/5. As an aircraft this is a pretty well rounded one. With no obvious drawbacks this performs well in pretty much all situations; manoeuvrability, top speed... etc. I do however feel that more weaponry wouldn’t go amiss, I get that it’s only meant for reconnaissance, but surely a few extra missiles wouldn’t hurt?
Aerodynamics - 9.5/10. This flies beautifully. The rotating engines for pitch and roll work perfectly and it is just incredibly intuitive to fly. The added touch of the 4 secondary forward thrusters is nice as well, a little extra thrust when you’re flying forwards. However, when flying forwards at full tilt, the time it takes to stop is noticeable. Very noticeable, something to work on in a later version probably.
Description - 3/3. I love the backstory, and the effort that went in is noticeable.
Overall 32.5/38 (85.5%), a solid build, well rounded build!
Yeah haha, this isn’t one of my actual planes, I made it in about 10 minutes because I wanted to enter a race, I know it’s bad, I didn’t really put any effort into it. I just thought I may as well enter it and hope for the best, I’m going to delete it after the event has finished
It often happens around updates because the devs change a few things on the website as well, I wouldn’t worry about it. As soon as 1.6 has been out for a few weeks it should clear up. I remember having the same issues in 1.4
Can somebody please go on my profile and make the engines on my Alpha A19 Scorpion consume 4-5x less fuel? Thanks and post the link to it in the comments of the Alpha A19 Scorpion
Why is this called the ‘SEX Plane’
Any chance of a mobile friendly version?
That’s a shame, I really want a pretty much straight race track to test out just the forward speed of aircraft. Please consider putting in the game, or at least making at straight aircraft race?
But from what I can see there aren’t many colours anyway, it shouldn’t take longer than 5 minutes
Ok that’s fine, just select ‘custom’ from the paint menu and it should work
You check what paint scheme it’s using, for example (red and white, custom, default.) then do the subassembly procedure, and set the paint on the new one to the same one as the old one was. If you actually can do it, then I can’t rate this, and it has to be a successor.

All good
Oh no, leave it as it is. The AI is really dumb, it can’t really fly any of my planes either. Just submit your plane the way it is, I’m the one testing it anyway.
Strange, if it still doesn’t work I can make an exception to the rule... because it’s not your fault
Ok, you take the Firebird, take off the cockpit and drag it into subasemblies. Download my challenge, then get rid of the drones and drag your firebird into it. Then add the cockpit onto your build and that’s it
I’m sorry, it has to be a successor to my original post

Nice! I’m going to start testing now
Just to give you guys an idea of how I’m going to rate planes, I’ll rate mine. (This isn’t actually part of the competition and can’t win)

This would be great for making bomb bays and missile racks inside hollow wings
Yeah they should let the user decided on specific blocks whether they want it or don’t want it, it’s kind of a love-hate relationship for me
It often happens around updates because the devs change a few things on the website as well, I wouldn’t worry about it. As soon as 1.6 has been out for a few weeks it should clear up. I remember having the same issues in 1.4
Nice profile pic of the vanguard from SC ;) @ErvenDynamics
Amazing plane, I have never seen such an incredible amount of detail on any SP creation before.
Is it possible to make the same engines except they don't have that long trail?
Can somebody please go on my profile and make the engines on my Alpha A19 Scorpion consume 4-5x less fuel? Thanks and post the link to it in the comments of the Alpha A19 Scorpion
Don't take other people planes and upload them with no differences, and if there are, list them
But on my iPad Air 2 everything runs smooth and great, only time it lags is when I have all setting on high and over 5 AI Planes
