This definitely embodies the idea I had for the challenge the most. I discovered that you can aggressively pitch down and flip the plane over 180, and then roll 180 to correct it. That wins the bonus point award.

I enjoy the crazy look. It’s fun to try to take off from bandit and crash 90% of the time into the treeline. (And first person flying thru the bridge is a fun challenge)
As for the gyro. That’s interesting, I did not know about that feature. I want to keep them separate because I only have the gyro for last resort emergency use. But I’ll totally use that Negative AG number trick in the future
Thanks y’all

@DatFiat126Fan19 @BeastHunter good 2 be back lol

@zap210 I would never been able to make that racetrack base on my own lol

@StockPlanesRemastered I’ve played that one too but on an emulator. I had a couple of the PS1 nascar games even though I started watching during COT era. You can still go to any flea market in America and find tons of cool stuff from that Gen 4 / 90s-00s era of nascar.
Cool! Does this have better torque in lower gears or just higher speed in higher gears? It would be cool if the lower gears actually helped climb hills because I havent seen that yet on this site
Never expected to see analog horror in SimplePlanes lol. Nice work
This is insane! I used to play the DanBall one
KCC Hydro Needle

This one is a really cool concept but unfortunately flys too well lol. I also really like the alien look and the custom HUD!
+1The part count on this is insane for how close it looks
+1@997Carrera Chevy Corvair?
@IslandSinker that’s such a cool story from history
@PapaKernels yeah it seemed like Austin Dillon was driving this at the end there
Woahhhh. Looks sick. Yesterdays race was… something
+1Cool shape
This is a good start for modeling car replicas
+1This can’t really be a stormtrooper tank, it doesn’t miss 90% of the time lol
+3This thing flys so smoooooth
The suspension reminds me of the torsion bar style like the Chevy Corvair and VW Bug.
+1Nice build. Would someone mind explaining what Red v Green is or putting a link to something explaining it lol.
0/10 it’s missing the window vents to be a 67 camaro. Just kidding, this rocks 🤟
Hard to slow down. Have you considered adding some air brakes?
+2Camera Rig is the one weapon deemed too dangerous for war
+1Big fan of 90s GM economy cars in simple planes
Yup
It’s definitely a helicopter
Looks pretty cool
@Kerbango average flying car in northern kentucky
+1@Kerbango cool I’ll look for it

+1The cockpit view is so cursed lol
Livery goes insane
The sunset photo is wild. Nice work
+1@Kerbango it is now published 👍
Yooooo this is really cool
@DatFiat126Fan19 why would I remake perfection? lol (I’m not super interested in remastering it but anyone else can if they want to.)
+1That’s why he’s the GOAT! THE GOAAAAAAT
+1Cool style
Nice
