@Rawr if you're complaining about the AI not using your controls properly. then why did you use any thing other than roll to turn and throttle to go forwards?
just letting you know. the guns on this thing weren't in those back wings. they were up in the front towards the middle. a couple of 20mm cannons would be there. I think 4 or so. maybe 2 50 cals as well.
@LiamW no actually quite the oppisite.
Larger wheels mean more speed. if you look at the effect of the speed a circle moves at, at any given spot. the larger a wheel. the faster the out side part spins if the part spinning it stays at the same speed in the middle.
@LiamW well the reason down force slows you down is the same reason every thing else does. its drag. you need to reduce the drag of your vehicle. you need to increase its engine power. and wheels to compensate. you need more forwards traction. and more.
@FlyingNarwhal Down force SLOWS YOU DOWN. down force slows you down. but keeps your vehicle more firmly planted into the ground. Giving you more traction on your wheels.
as for your wheels. the number of wheels means nothing. the reason this thing is fast is because each wheel has its own engine. each engine in this thing only powers a single wheel. which gives it the maximum power out put. thus it goes this fast.
@LiamW I'm getting 33 seconds. but with 1 ring missed because the AI turns before it actually hits hte ring so it cuts corners. thus giving me 38 seconds.
@FlyingNarwhal lots of wheels. each wheel has its own dedicated engine. with maximum traction. that gives the speed.
Down force. gives stability and glues you to the ground. it keeps you on the ground so you don't go flying in turns. and it helps with traction and such. it does hurt your speed however it seems you top out at 417mph no matter how much engine power you have so this thing could handle plenty of down force. afterall. every wheel on this thing except the very front 2 has its own dedicated 600hp engine.
@BRuthless and you think mine wont? lol that thing is actually quite unstable. effects can be random some times.
But when it finishes it finishes good.
@BRuthless My current best tops out oat 417mph. and gets there in 3 seconds. finishes in technically 33 seconds but it is guaranteed to miss a ring because the AI cuts corners so its 38
@BRuthless I actually find it much easier to turn in gold prix than air strip drag. a lot more leniant on the turns. and allows for much more speed and actual leading into those turns.
I'll be honest... I don't think I'll hit a serous entry on this tournament. I just don't understand how to do this course. the corners are too tight and too easy to fall off the road. and the straightaways make you go to fast. I just can't...
Well for now. I have a vehicle that finishes 1:09. because it misses 2 rings because it turns too good. and the AI likes to cut corners to save turn time which is fine except in this case.
Regardless of every thing I knew I wouldn't be able to win this. I couldn't build something reliable enough that goes fast enough.
@crxtsp Really. nudging is a basic game play feature. instead of complaining use it.
@marcox43 just letting you know. they are still deciding on weather or not all vehicles will not have a collision for future tournaments.
@crxtsp why? its not broken. literally every one can do it. and if you can't get fine tuner mod it'll do it for you.
And by removing it. literally 99.9999% of planes you see on the front page. would not work.
@Rawr if you're complaining about the AI not using your controls properly. then why did you use any thing other than roll to turn and throttle to go forwards?
it still has wings.
just letting you know. the guns on this thing weren't in those back wings. they were up in the front towards the middle. a couple of 20mm cannons would be there. I think 4 or so. maybe 2 50 cals as well.
@EliteSteel the littler bugger chassi uses too many parts to be viable in the tournament.
@EliteSteel then stop ending up with a cube.
@EliteSteel why can't you make your own? it doesn't have to be complex. just workable :P
clever... very clever

@LiamW bigger doesn't always mean better. I tried larger wheels with this thing. it then became stupidly slow... idk why.
@EliteSteel it'll probably be a while before we get more advanced engines.
@EliteSteel building the whole rest of the car is the easiest part.
@DesertEagle3450 I just did... :/
@DesertEagle3450 look like 5 comments down at your own comment. "not as weird as your profile picture."
@DesertEagle3450 weird profile pic
@DesertEagle3450 you called? :)
@LiamW that explains a lot. you only got 6 wheels. and 3 engines. you want 6 engines. and 6 wheels.
@LiamW how many wheels do you have? and how many engines do you have? and are you sure you connected each wheel to its own engine?
@LiamW well the reason down force slows you down is the same reason every thing else does. its drag. you need to reduce the drag of your vehicle. you need to increase its engine power. and wheels to compensate. you need more forwards traction. and more.

@Alienbeef0421 vertical wings. to give it a low vertical wing load. it turns with its wings for not its wheels really.

@BRuthless its still better than my other entry option.

@BRuthless My current best tops out oat 417mph. and gets there in 3 seconds. finishes in technically 33 seconds but it is guaranteed to miss a ring because the AI cuts corners so its 38
@BRuthless you've just won
Well I just got 38 seconds. misses a ring because its turning is too strong because it has to be.
@BRuthless I actually find it much easier to turn in gold prix than air strip drag. a lot more leniant on the turns. and allows for much more speed and actual leading into those turns.
@Alienbeef0421 have 1 engine for each wheel.
@Alienbeef0421 also you know a wheel can only be powered by a single engine.
@Alienbeef0421 but that does not mean it'll be good at gold prix. gold prix doesn't have as hefty turning requirments as air strip drag.
@FlyingNarwhal you don't make front or rear push it. you make all wheels push it.
@FlyingNarwhal all the wheels aren't pushing? why?
@FlyingNarwhal traction on wheels. forward traction.
@FlyingNarwhal make it faster? It has 6 engines all 600hp. the only way to make it faster is to lower its down force.
@FlyingNarwhal fast. it just turns too good and the AI makes it miss 2 rings because it turns too good. thus I get 1:09
@Mod and I have plenty. (also I already know about it did you miss my semi final finish on riding dirty? :3)
@Seabo14 use throttle for throttle. and roll for turning.
if you're having troubles with steering like that you have some serous design issues.
@aayam123 why? there's no point.
@Alienbeef0421 going fast is easy. going fast and turning is not.
I'll be honest... I don't think I'll hit a serous entry on this tournament. I just don't understand how to do this course. the corners are too tight and too easy to fall off the road. and the straightaways make you go to fast. I just can't...

@DahezDefalt it says it before you click to this post how much time is left.
@MrSilverWolf part scaling is not allowed. this is in the basic tournametn rules.
@Mod how? :u
Hmm... having troubles with this one. the turn sections are so hard...
