Also, the explosion power of the bombs is deliberately decreased, which is why you kinda only see the rockets explode. It can be adjusted in Overload to simulate different explosive mass
@Mynameisntjeff sure! Please place your order in the Novara discord server so i dont forget about it. Also, please specify the thrust requirements and whether the TVC is 2D or 3D
@Seeras , can you please make this a successor to @DrakonDynamics 's fighter challenge? (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/ZrQ372/Modern-Fighter-Challenge-Novaran-Edition)
@Kerbango yea, i know about the text trick, but it's 2d and low-res (and on higher res the lag is abysmal). Thats an option too though, i just wanted more realism
@ThomasRoderick .. quite large, but not too much. It will probably have to be like 50% gun and 50% engine with the pilot squeezed somewhere in-between
I mean, it's not too far from some ww2 era planes (except for the firing rate, but i do want some BRRRRTT). As to what it would intercept.. things like Lockheed CL-1201 come to mind
@DrakonDynamics Hey, i messaged you in discord but you may have missed it. First, is Solara taken? Second, is there any lore behind it/which real country (if any) it is based on? thanks
@Rb2h yea, Griffon was basically built around a giant engine (also the size of the air intake was increased several times during development because the engine required a ton of air)
@upperflat i tried using it for yaw stabilization but then realised that a ruddevator will do better. The downside is that landing it with no gyro or landing gear is quite hard

+1@SuperSuperTheSylph first i thought of just making a balloon or something but then things got silly
+2Awesome! By the way, how did you manage to make the piston detonator work consistently? I was never able to get it right
+1great build!
@Seeras , can you please make this a successor to @MrCOPTY 's UAVchallenge? (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/cx9j9p/05-50-01-04-2025-UAV-Challenge)
+1@rorrE radar? in this economy?
+1holy hell another Ku FT banger
great work!

@Convex credit is appreciated but not required
@MizeaO i wonder how comfortable the pilot must feel when shooting..
@Seeras thanks!

@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 of course, it's all free to use
@Thatrando you mean UAVs like the HE LAP series or what?
+1@5cmPak38aufPzKpfwIISfl901 exactly! Btw, i made a griffon replica too
@dabestsock thanks
i will use it in my own plane soon (in fact, 3 of my last posts are all parts of it)
@laikeNB its in the description
@Kerbango yea, i know about the text trick, but it's 2d and low-res (and on higher res the lag is abysmal). Thats an option too though, i just wanted more realism
@SPsidearm oh, i can make that too. Do you have any requirements for it in mind?
@SPsidearm I already made a twin one, single probably coming soon

+1@VRCaPable sure
@AviadorArgentino thanks!
+1@Berulacraft Thanks!
@Seeras, can you please make this a successor to @AviadorArgentino 's light aircraft challenge?
+1@TheUltimatePlaneLover i have not heard of the S-war, can you tell me?
@Christiant2 Hey, can you please explain what MDA means? I've been seeing it more in the past days but no clue what this is
+1@Gabriel747 Part-Efficient Aircraft, basically a replica under 96 parts
+1i forgor the minimum part count requirement
will maybe do another entry, this was fun to build
+2very cool design!
@Graingy both. The firing delay is switched to 0, i think what limits the actual firing rate is the game switching between cannons
+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore thanks!
great build! I liked the idea of using a rotator mesh in the air intake
great build!
+2@Karroc9522 you can reverse-engineer it! The main trick is to place VTOL nozzles in a circle and use some funky trees code
@NEWCOUNTVIA thanks!
+1@Trainzo thanks!
+1@Yuka0663 if i remember correctly, you will be able to post screenshots at about 100 points
+1@Rb2h yea, Griffon was basically built around a giant engine (also the size of the air intake was increased several times during development because the engine required a ton of air)
+3hey, i got 29 points too
@C47skytrain thanks a lot!
+1@Limacopter thanks! The background is from the green screen mod:
+2https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/1360127/Green-Screen-Mod
@dabestsock thanks!
@Luminaria when will the final scores be released?
Made a 4-in-1 F-5
+1@upperflat i tried using it for yaw stabilization but then realised that a ruddevator will do better. The downside is that landing it with no gyro or landing gear is quite hard
+1I managed to make a 10 part VTOL, but the auto credit did not work
