@jamesPLANESii ok, do you know what the two knows beneath the throttle, prop and mix are? I'm thinking one would be cowl flaps but Idk why there would be two
I'm assuming the Miro took inspiration from a Mooney? There's obvious differences like the retractable gear and more forward wing sweep, but I think the windsheild and the taper of the cockpit back to the tailplane is what is making me think this.
@rexzion I'm guessing that @PlaneFlightX just made a variable for fuel, and defined it as something like this clamp01((x - sum(Throttle))>0) where the constant x is how much fuel there is. If it = 1 there is fuel, if it = 0 there is none. Just multiply this by throttle or whatever you have in the engine then.
@PapaKernels @Mage2IsTriggered by the way, we need a name.
I'm thinking "Formula SP Challenge" is the best for now, however that limits it to single-seat open-wheelers. Maybe a better name is containing "grand prix" in the name, like "SP Grand Prix Challenge" or just "Grand Prix Challenge"
@PapaKernels @Mage2IsTriggered ok, so Kernels you can hold the challenge. I can write the full desc, Mage if you would put together a thumbnail, that'd be epic. Or maybe some sort of logo I could put in the description banner would be good too.
@Mage2IsTriggered @PapaKernels ok yeah, good idea with the classes. Also, open wheeler can be a class so yeah, we can accomodate all of that. Now whose account should it be on? I'm fine to not host it, obviously the owner will gain the most due to upvotes and successor pts so i dont want to be a douche here. But I can write the desc or whatever you guys want
@Mage2IsTriggered @PapaKernels
Hey guys, any interest in a Simpleplanes car racing challenge? We would make it as the three of us, and here's my pitch:
There's a set of regulations:
- car size
- min / max weight
- max horsepower
- no XML on certain aspects such as wheel grip
- no "electric" motors
- specified downforce amounts / areas you can use wings
And it all has to be aestetcially pleasing, this will be a scoring category but handling and Gold Prix times are weighted quite heavily.
As for scoring, we can discuss a points system. But we each would also take our best run of Gold Prix in each entry and average the times, that would be a large points.
Let me know what you guys think...
@WaitBreadIsntAfruit ok yeah I see what you mean with that but the point still remains
Lol btw who's the user who recommended this to you? It seems like ur trying to keep them anonymous but maybe they could provide some insight into this.
@WaitBreadIsntAfruit when I say "unit," basically its just for reference. Like in geometry on a problem with no units(such as feet), say you answer that the area of the circle is "500," but really the more correct answer is "500 square units"
Idk how to explain it. Its like a measure of distance but it could really be anything. Almost like a variable but not really.
Saying one thing is "1 unit in length" and another is "2 units in length" is like saying the second object is twice as long.
@CarrotSlicingCompanyCat that happens to me with a lot of videos incouding this one. Its been there for a while, and I reloaded three times and it was still there lol so I decided to just watch it.
Yeah the stopping looks ok but the acceleration is way too fast. I would say, decrease the drag.
If it has trouble slowing down(like in the air) after you decrease drag, then add an airbrake with -Throttle + 1 in the input so that it will slow down whenever you have less throttle on.
I think you can't make a blank line to prevent people from spamming empty comments. I know, it's pretty dumb since you could just put a period but I think that's the mentality.
Another way of thinking about it is that comments should ultimately be a single-paragraph statement, not a long, multi-page essay(even tho I abuse this on the daily lol)
@Korzalerke yeah I know. But there's a good reason why it isn't implemented, at least I think so. I'll put it in another comment so you can pin, if you'd like.
@realSavageMan oh yeah, forgot you were Chinese! I would really love to live a year in East Asia at some point in my life, like for college or something like that. Probably in Japan, from what I've learned I love their culture -- amazing food and very efficient and minimalistic yet also very thoughtful.
Also by the way, like half of my high school lives for rodeo, and owns a giant ranch, and the other half of us couldn't care less. But, we suck at football, I'll give you that much
@realSavageMan
No, its CO. I can see the CA thing, why you would think that tho. But its basically a thing where I live that people from Texas come for skiing, and they all can't drive their cars in the snow and they all suck at skiing lol
We even have a lot of terms for it like the "Texan Tuck," where your poles stick up in the air whenever you try to crouch down aerodynamically
@Korzalerke open bracket, close bracket, open parenthesis, close parenthesis, example below
Like you're adding a link, but theres nothing in either slot []()
@Atoka220 well yes, they require very little takeoff and almkst lo landing distance IRL, in fact it is possible to hover land this one. But to sustain flight, you will need to maintain speed
Holy f bro wow! You used to be crap at building a year ago but man, you have improved! Geez, I can't even run this it has so many parts but wow, I'm so impressed in your evolution as a builder.
I got a 1:02 around GPR. I like this huge car, but you can take every corner on the track flat with DRS open lol. Kind of a big flaw but whatever its still good
A fellow F1 fan I see? Also, who is your favorite driver, I like Lando personally but also Ricciardo is cool (coincidence they're both McLaren drivers)
@rexzion hmm I think you are
@ReinMcDeer yeah pringle surface is super cool shape.
@Phoebe imagine japanese cartoons
I actually am super interested in Japanese culture with what little knowledge I have of it thought
@DeveloperKorzalerke lol
@X99STRIKER yep lol
@Flewey thansk
@jamesPLANESii ok is there just no cowl flaps for this plane then
@jamesPLANESii ok, do you know what the two knows beneath the throttle, prop and mix are? I'm thinking one would be cowl flaps but Idk why there would be two

clamp01((x - sum(Throttle))>0)where the constant x is how much fuel there is. If it = 1 there is fuel, if it = 0 there is none. Just multiply this by throttle or whatever you have in the engine then.@rexzion very cool indeed
@rexzion lol
@rexzion the curvy canopy back it is so out of place like ik its not a normal su25 but it is a really weird variant
Ewwwww looks weird
@Mage2IsTriggered ok thats really good. Maybe we could even do a motrocycle class then.
@PapaKernels @Mage2IsTriggered by the way, we need a name.
I'm thinking "Formula SP Challenge" is the best for now, however that limits it to single-seat open-wheelers. Maybe a better name is containing "grand prix" in the name, like "SP Grand Prix Challenge" or just "Grand Prix Challenge"

here I drew something lol

@Korzalerke idk whatever, it doesnt rly bother me that much
Lmao what is that then \/

[]()@asteroidbook345 @Korzalerke hmm lemme think very hard 🤔
You already can do that lmao
@V yeah I didnt check it with anything but high phys, thats probably it. Sorry to waste ur time on this lol
@Atoka220 well yes, they require very little takeoff and almkst lo landing distance IRL, in fact it is possible to hover land this one. But to sustain flight, you will need to maintain speed
@V ok no problem
@V thanks! By the way jamesPlanesii said he couldn't get this one curated but he said it should be... if you could check that out it'd be amazing
@OrderlyHippo thanks!
Holy f bro wow! You used to be crap at building a year ago but man, you have improved! Geez, I can't even run this it has so many parts but wow, I'm so impressed in your evolution as a builder.
"pulverized oats in the shape of a solid torus"
@Impotato4045 oh ok, so basically just a dependent suspension. I can make a little demo I guess
@Impotato4045 not sure what a solid suspension is, if you explained it or showed me a picture I could try to make something like it
I got a 1:02 around GPR. I like this huge car, but you can take every corner on the track flat with DRS open lol. Kind of a big flaw but whatever its still good
@jamesPLANESii oh sweet thanks!
Please note your first language, and any others you speak please!
@rexzion
Idk where you are in math but maybe you'll like this. Or just forever think of me as a dumb nerd. Whatever
@SnoWFLakE0s
Thought maybe this might interest you. The values need a bit of tweaking I think but its still super awesome to watch work.
