@Shmexysmpilot Well The only way I'm going to enter another plane rather than this one at the moment is if I manage to get a relable plane that can reliably do the course faster than this.
@saifdaking XML modded specifically. its not a mod you download. its a change in the game files you take from a saved plane and modify it. I don't know how to do this. but there are planes out there taht use these engine. just rip it out of one put it in a sub assembly and now you have your own super engine.
@saifdaking well when you want to go that fast you're going to want XML modded engines. which are engines that some one went into the game files off and turned into super engines. try asking around to to other people. i don't know how to do it my self but the good engines on those topics reach way higher than you're asking for if that's what you want :P
@SteadfastContracting the bes tthing you can do is get 1 or 2 of the giant jet engines. and then like 2 or more VTOL for a quick start off the runway and extra thrust. get that to get around the course and you'll be set.
@Quintasoarus they're going to have to give planes a grace period after they crash on this course if you ask me. the bridges particularly the pass into the finish. really can screw you over.
@Pauciloquent I guess the most important question is how can I improve this. originally it did have larger rolling surfaces but the AI seemed have a hard time controlling it so I lowered it by quite a bit.
@Baldovino well the dev's version is slightly updated with a slightly better AI. so at this point its your call. if you feel its too unpredictable. modify it until its more reliable.
@Baldovino When you build a plane. test it 5-10 times in a row with the AI. best 5 times on each side for the start. and count up how many times it crashes or really messes up (like missing a ring or something). versus how many times It completed it.
@Umbreon unfortunately that's still there just to a lesser extent in the dev's version. so you need to compensate for that because its guaranteed you'll spawn on that side during a round.
@Pauciloquent also why all symmetrical for the wings? what's the advantage of that? I'd have thought that the closer you get to the plane not pitching up or down the better so having lift would help. so why?
@Pauciloquent Well alright then. but can I ask you to look at my most recently posted plane? tell me what You think of it? the needle nose MK:5? you seem to know what you're doing and I'm looking for advice wherever i can :P
If you're worried it might crash then you should modify it until it can complete daredevil several times in a row with out crashing. (a good finish time helps as well)
@BRuthless I don't know weather or not missiles can cause it. I do know that if to many parts (non weapons) are destroyed its counted as critical and a loss. ontop of that the daredevil tournamate here doesn't allow weapons so you're screwed if you're trying to do it there.
@BRuthless @A5mod3us actually while you can still win with nothing but the cock pit in normal race mode. in the tournament a plane is counted lost as any part is destroyed or hits the water.
uh... if you're going to be doing dare devil you're going to want something faster than this. at least have it a single engine using that super large engine. because while this could probably do it 100% of the time. its not going to make it far after the planes that crash are gone.
@Shmexysmpilot Well The only way I'm going to enter another plane rather than this one at the moment is if I manage to get a relable plane that can reliably do the course faster than this.
@Pauciloquent funny part is I feel like I can push this further if I tried :P
@Shmexysmpilot I've heard people say they've done 1:02 and such so I challenged my self to get that time and well this is the result :D
I like my chances here. I think I could get pretty far in this tournament :D

@Shmexysmpilot I have a good feeling about this :3

@saifdaking It takes practice and learning. I'm still not that good but you'll get there :P
@saifdaking I'm not getting mad I'm just stating that. I'd be using more caps and less "eh" in the start if i was mad :P
@saifdaking eh the only thing abut this that makes it look like it is the 2 engines and paint. other wise they're 2 completely different planes.
@saifdaking what creation?
@SteadfastContracting that's why I said have fun :P
@SteadfastContracting so have a lot of other people's
@SteadfastContracting well just try to have fun (because you're not going to get far doing that :P)
@Pauciloquent I think I'm improving quite a bit :3
@SteadfastContracting the bes tthing you can do is get 1 or 2 of the giant jet engines. and then like 2 or more VTOL for a quick start off the runway and extra thrust. get that to get around the course and you'll be set.
@SteadfastContracting well you're still 1 whole minute off from a competitive time :P
How's this? @Paciloquent ?
@Skua that better?
@Quintasoarus they're going to have to give planes a grace period after they crash on this course if you ask me. the bridges particularly the pass into the finish. really can screw you over.
@Baldovino well why don't you try making that 1000-1100 top speed and make it better at finishing the course? that would really help ya.
@Pauciloquent I guess the most important question is how can I improve this. originally it did have larger rolling surfaces but the AI seemed have a hard time controlling it so I lowered it by quite a bit.
@Baldovino how fast does your plane go during the parts of the race it doesn't crash? :P
@Baldovino well the dev's version is slightly updated with a slightly better AI. so at this point its your call. if you feel its too unpredictable. modify it until its more reliable.
@Luke92778 right below the "build and fly" button there is a race optoin. you can check a box in for an AI to fly your plane.
@Baldovino When you build a plane. test it 5-10 times in a row with the AI. best 5 times on each side for the start. and count up how many times it crashes or really messes up (like missing a ring or something). versus how many times It completed it.
@Umbreon unfortunately that's still there just to a lesser extent in the dev's version. so you need to compensate for that because its guaranteed you'll spawn on that side during a round.
@Pauciloquent I took some of your advice. :3
@Pauciloquent ok so quck question... how were you able to take my design and make it 10 times better and how can I apply this to all my planes?
@Pauciloquent got it
@Pauciloquent also why all symmetrical for the wings? what's the advantage of that? I'd have thought that the closer you get to the plane not pitching up or down the better so having lift would help. so why?
@Pauciloquent just upload it. if it counts as a successor to this plane it'll notify me.
@Pauciloquent Well alright then. but can I ask you to look at my most recently posted plane? tell me what You think of it? the needle nose MK:5? you seem to know what you're doing and I'm looking for advice wherever i can :P
@Pauciloquent really? vtols? not the very large engine?
If you're worried it might crash then you should modify it until it can complete daredevil several times in a row with out crashing. (a good finish time helps as well)
@Pauciloquent ok even if its not too reliable for finishing it. how do you even get that kind of time? my best plane can only get about a minute 30.
@Umbreon my own design does it reliably under 2 minutes :3
@Shmexysmpilot I know. I do read this stuff.
What is considered a good time to finish this course with?
@Shmexysmpilot what do ya think? :3
I don't really see what you're going for here. its just a very minor change to the stock P-51 :/
@BRuthless I don't know then.
@BRuthless that's possible yes. or the missiles hitting actually did count for some reason. after all they're not using the same game update as us.
@BRuthless I don't know weather or not missiles can cause it. I do know that if to many parts (non weapons) are destroyed its counted as critical and a loss. ontop of that the daredevil tournamate here doesn't allow weapons so you're screwed if you're trying to do it there.
@BRuthless if any part on the plane gets critical damage or any part hits the water. its out. that's the rules the tournament applies in game.
@BRuthless @A5mod3us actually while you can still win with nothing but the cock pit in normal race mode. in the tournament a plane is counted lost as any part is destroyed or hits the water.
uh... if you're going to be doing dare devil you're going to want something faster than this. at least have it a single engine using that super large engine. because while this could probably do it 100% of the time. its not going to make it far after the planes that crash are gone.
What is a good time to finish this race with?
Low speed stability is trouble some however if any thing you've won in style :P
@SUPERSAMROCK honestly I don't care. I get credit for it any ways being the predecessor plus he has done nothing to make it better.
