@Shmexysmpilot they don't have THAT much less power. all my creations still fly with race speed. they just don't fly at like 1600mph like the minimalist MK:2 does.
@Shmexysmpilot about 10k more than the old most powerfull engine. that said. all engines seem a whole lot less powerfull than they used to so this thing on this build goes just a bit slower than my normal racing planes.
@StraightOuttaSnacks you shouldn't feel bad. it was a bit of RNG luck that comes with these things. I'm just kinda sick of the AI derping ou t and causing me to lose certian races I shouldn't.
@f1racing6 no you can't. that's the steam beta. not to mention a lot of engines were nerfed in that update any how so you wouldn't want to just yet any ways.
@Mattyfatty1998 right underneath "build and fly" there is "race against opponents" pick your plane. pick this track. check in the AI controls box so AI controls your plane. and there you go you are now testing your plane.
@MagicShadow101 no what I"m saying is they should all be symmetrical. none of the other 2 options. ALL OF THEM. it makes the plane fly the most straight.
@Tully2001 Ok how did you manage to get your time that low? I've essentially maximized my efficiency with my design and I can't get it to get any better of a time. minimum drag. maximum engines while having enough control surfaces to make the course.
@MagicShadow101 like i said if you know how to build a plane for the most part. the AI will do that correction roll long before it gets there. only occasionally turning into the ground. are you setting all your wings to the symmetrical setting or do you ahve them on like flat bottom or semi symmetric?
@WillB88 uh you don't have to download unity. all you have to do is just open the save file of what ever plane in like word or something and change a couple values around.
@mightyscab I just checked it and you're still not using the structural piece I talked about. you're wasting a lot of potential parts you could be using on like 3 large engines. do what you want But I"m just trying to help.
@Baldovino its not as hard as you think. just keep a thin body with all the engines inside each other. enough inlets for them. and enough wing space to have a low wing load.
@mightyscab no its not modding. at the bottom of the structural tab. there are fuel tanks. that you can modify the shape of in game. and aside that. the only way you can mod the fuel tanks is by how much fuel is in them. aside that. like i said. wing load is a problem with your designs. use the costom fuel tank. make it large and you have plenty of space to add large wings to make your wing load go down.
@mightyscab well I can already see why you are. you're not using the costom fuel tanks for all your structural building. your wing load is way to high (not enough wing area. make bigger or more wings) and you're buiding planes with too much drag. try to make the more streamline.
@Baldovino what's wrong with a 3 minute limit? There are a lot of people out there who don't know how to build all that good and its at least letting them finish the race if they even can. there's plenty of people who are good that will end races in a minute.
@BaconAircrafts I don't really know what to say you've seem to have already got every thing you need to know down. the only thing I can tell you is simplify. and nudge a few engines inside each other.
@Geekpride here's a tip. lower your wing load as much as possible. while having 3-4 of the largest turbofan engines nudged inside eachother. and you can win.
@mixhaelr no it doesn't. they're 2 completely different things. one's a thing where you have to go into the files to change stuff. the other's a thing you can do in game as a mechanic to help you build better.
@bspboy I'm not going to state my time. I"m not stetting a bench mark to beat. however you can test my first attempt at a plane that is currently listed.

of course the AI would fail me. I goes through 2 rounds with out crashing and then the third one it crashes twice. Jundroo pls make AI better :U
@f1racing6 no you can't. that's the steam beta. not to mention a lot of engines were nerfed in that update any how so you wouldn't want to just yet any ways.
@Tully2001 well that explains a little bit my power to weight is only 6.6
@Thefalloutplayr thanks
@Mattyfatty1998 a good time is 1 minute and below. for some one of a lower skill level try for a minute and a half.
wing load is too high. there's no point to the propeller engines with the jets there. and you have way too many intakes.
@Mattyfatty1998 right underneath "build and fly" there is "race against opponents" pick your plane. pick this track. check in the AI controls box so AI controls your plane. and there you go you are now testing your plane.
@Tully2001 Ok really can you tell me something. any thing on how your'e getting such a fast time on your plane?
@Kondicykel because they're testing the planes in game. on the courses that are also in game :/
@SpiritusRaptor then go for the 1 minute one. (still don't undrestand how you're getting such a low time even if it is less conistant)
@SpiritusRaptor depends how slow your consistent one is. and how consistent your fast one is.
@Tully2001 that still doesn't help me that much :/
@MagicShadow101 no what I"m saying is they should all be symmetrical. none of the other 2 options. ALL OF THEM. it makes the plane fly the most straight.

@MagicShadow101 if you know how to make a plane ftmp that ring will only crash you once in a while when the AI derps.
@Tully2001 well You've beaten me then. if you're sub 56 seconds I got no chance :P
@WillB88 uh you don't have to download unity. all you have to do is just open the save file of what ever plane in like word or something and change a couple values around.
@aircraftarsenal123 so very unreliable but has potental to just beat every thing?
@bspboy that's pretty good. you still need to get better however.
@Geekpride use a converter or something its not that hard to figure out.
Despite the past few days of trying I really have just hit the limit on how fast I can do this course.
@mightyscab I just checked it and you're still not using the structural piece I talked about. you're wasting a lot of potential parts you could be using on like 3 large engines. do what you want But I"m just trying to help.

@Baldovino True but some people still haven't figured it out yet :U
@Baldovino how did you get a plane that fast with only 17 parts?
@mightyscab well I can already see why you are. you're not using the costom fuel tanks for all your structural building. your wing load is way to high (not enough wing area. make bigger or more wings) and you're buiding planes with too much drag. try to make the more streamline.

@Baldovino except this isn't the one I'm using in the tournament ;3
I've pushed my limit as far as its going to go. so lets see how my plane does in a few days.
@InterStellarENT more power less drag 1 landing gear leg. that's what you should strive for.
@Tully2001 why not? its a nice challenge. its unlimited except a nice part limit challenge.
@MagicShadow101 And I'm currently working on trying to get a time of under 1:00 with no missed rings.
@WillB88 well you can fix this by having XML modded wings. I"m assuming you don't know how to do that however.
@WillB88 well I can say one thing so far. your wings are way to small.
@Baldovino I have no idea what you just said.
@Tully2001 well good luck to ya
@Baldovino well when you only have a 17 part limit you can't afford a vtol engine for that start.
@Tully2001 I wasn't expecting any one else to get a time like that so looks like I have some design updating to do.
@Tully2001 well then... looks like we're tied then....
@mixhaelr no it doesn't. they're 2 completely different things. one's a thing where you have to go into the files to change stuff. the other's a thing you can do in game as a mechanic to help you build better.
@bspboy I'm not going to state my time. I"m not stetting a bench mark to beat. however you can test my first attempt at a plane that is currently listed.
@JovianPat YES. IT IS. nudgign is a game mechanic. use it.
@MrVaultech really? I think I've already won this tournament :3
