@Foxophonist I'm annoyed by all the impatience here, every single tournament people come in 3 seconds after 9:00 crying about the race not starting. I would like to point out that it has never been stated that the race would start at 9, only that submissions end then. Also, Jundroo is a small operation so things don't always go like clockwork.
I hear ya and I do hate the stupid floating wheel no body cars and planes. But, it's just a game so I don't get too bent outta shape. I just make the best car I can and see how far I make it. It's pretty fun when you actually do better then some floating wheel "cars" @brucethemoose
I think some people are taking this a wee bit too seriously. It's just a game, have some fun with it, enter a car and if you win you win you don't you don't.
It does seem the if my car goes too slow it also skips ring four and that might be because downforce doesn't work if you aren't going fast enough @AgDynamics
The best I ever got was 4 upvotes, should I make a post crying about it too? Maybe I could blame the backgrounds that I don't use, or maybe it's because I'm on IOS and I don't mod things.
Seriously, get over it, you have tons of upvotes and it's just a game.
I mean, sure it would be easier if the ring were in a different location but that isnt the point, is it? My car used to crash there too, so i made it not crash there, then I sped it up until it started crashing again.
Just because you have two cars crash doesn't mean it's the tracks fault.
I just hope the top cars aren't a bunch of floating wheels not attached to anything like the Rainbow Racer. I know they're technically allowed but come on, there isn't even a body!
@AndrewGarrison something we're quickly learning, cars need to be eliminated if they stop moving. Cars are flipping or suspensions break and you end up with two cars going 0mph for 3 minutes. Maybe you're disq. if you do less than 10 mph for more than 20 seconds?
Yea, the computer automatically looks for rules violations, they don't individually check every plane. No one has it out for you, you have violated the rules every time. @Generalkeath
I suppose I've got some time before it starts, maybe I'll be able to put something together. I'm mobile so I never do very well with prop class since I can't nudge engines. @Typhlosion130
I looked at your plane last time you were disqualified, you did have guns in the wings. If you loaded the sand box and went to weapons you would see that there were guns. @Generalkeath
@Generalkeath this is twice now you've freaked out about being "unfairly disqualified" when in fact both times you broke the rules. I can assure you the devs and mods aren't looking to be jerks and disqualify you for no reason. You also really need to work on your attitude when this happens and not start shouting, you'll notice similar mistakes have been made by other players but they accept their fate and move on.
@Matt7709 assuming you mean this https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/24u0he/Aerostyle-XRP it's clearly modded, normal VTOL doesn't have 5 foot long flames. If it makes you feel any better it crashes right away because the AI can't handle the nozzles tied to pitch.
@Geekpride hardly! We've all seen a plane that ran 10/10 completion during tests crash miserably with the tournament AI. There's no way to know how the tournament will run though so you just make the best plane you can.
@AndrewGarrison So this is weird but it looks like planes go about 300 mph slower in the right lane. This didn't happen in my testing but it seems to be affecting all planes.

@Foxophonist no problem, glad I could be of help.
Go out to the woods and listen for trickling water. Go down into a valley and you're pretty much guaranteed to find a creek or stream. @Foxophonist
Everyone calm down, it often takes 30-45 minutes to start.
I wish they would cutoff submissions the night before the race, that way people wouldn't freak out when the race doesn't start right at 9:00.
Go read a news article or something in the meantime.
@EarthwormJim that's it, tournament over, good job everyone!

Well at least this won't be too long of a tournament...
@legiondesigns the main reason mine has 8 wheels is the AI seemed to refuse to track straight when it was 4.
You need some tilted wings @OliverOne
It does seem the if my car goes too slow it also skips ring four and that might be because downforce doesn't work if you aren't going fast enough @AgDynamics
Yea, ring 27 is difficult but ring 4 seems like a glitch. I've had to slow my car down because it straight pretends 4 isn't there. @AgDynamics

Well I'm at 44 seconds with a 100% completion rate. Not bad.
I mean, sure it would be easier if the ring were in a different location but that isnt the point, is it? My car used to crash there too, so i made it not crash there, then I sped it up until it started crashing again.
Just because you have two cars crash doesn't mean it's the tracks fault.
Just make a car that makes the turn 100% of the time @marcox43
I just hope the top cars aren't a bunch of floating wheels not attached to anything like the Rainbow Racer. I know they're technically allowed but come on, there isn't even a body!
Those "metallic bands" are leaf springs
I had no problem turning without a rudder, my car ran a consistent 1:03 in the tourney @hopotumon
I took you out by crashing in another race, it's only fair you took me out this time.
I hate to say it but I tested yours on my iPad and it had the same fail to start issue. @Generalkeath
@AndrewGarrison something we're quickly learning, cars need to be eliminated if they stop moving. Cars are flipping or suspensions break and you end up with two cars going 0mph for 3 minutes. Maybe you're disq. if you do less than 10 mph for more than 20 seconds?
Too late,mof you had Andy engine other than a car on there you will have been automatically disqualified. @Thesimpleplanesman

There is at least one XML modded fuselage part in the tail, that's probably why @Generalkeath
Everytime you complain like the it turns out you're wrong, link me your plane and I'll look at it. @Generalkeath
274?? Gonna be a long day...
This is some high quality engineering, we need more of this.
I suppose I've got some time before it starts, maybe I'll be able to put something together. I'm mobile so I never do very well with prop class since I can't nudge engines. @Typhlosion130
This game would be great if it wasn't for all the users...

Anywhere from 15-30 minutes. @Generalkeath
214 competitors! The good news is non-starting planes will get weeded out faster than 20 seconds since they'll crash into the ocean
@Liquidfox @Sunnyskies @ACMECo1940 thanks everyone
"You know what would be better than running the course? Doing a bunch of flips and then crashing into the ocean" AI, apparently
It's a really cool plane but too much lift, it starts doing back flips once you take off. Try playing around with making wings symmetrical.
@Matt7709 assuming you mean this https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/24u0he/Aerostyle-XRP it's clearly modded, normal VTOL doesn't have 5 foot long flames. If it makes you feel any better it crashes right away because the AI can't handle the nozzles tied to pitch.
Haha, no worries, I wasn't going to win anyway. @ABC123
Well done!
Thanks, you too!
@GrumpyRacing planes that crash are the best, exciting fireballs AND they speed up the tournament.
@Geekpride hardly! We've all seen a plane that ran 10/10 completion during tests crash miserably with the tournament AI. There's no way to know how the tournament will run though so you just make the best plane you can.
Wow, one of the best working suspensions. Not many cars can take rough landings at 130 mph
@Destroyerz117 accuracy over speed, always.
@AndrewGarrison glad to see the problem is getting fixed, of course I wouldn't have made it any further in the tournament even without the slow lane.
I just looked at your plane, it has guns in the wings, next time act like an adult and this won't happen. @Generalkeath2
@AndrewGarrison So this is weird but it looks like planes go about 300 mph slower in the right lane. This didn't happen in my testing but it seems to be affecting all planes.
Guys, no one here knows when it's starting, everyone just assumed at the usual time.
They'll probably start at 9:00(est) this better than the old system where you could enter a plane to the last minute, I'm sure that caused headaches.
