< Provide a way to control the plane when no air is rushing over the wings (when in vertical flight). The easiest way is to stick some RCN on your creation; just make sure all axis are covered (Pitch, roll and yaw)
Have fun building VTOL planes and please tag me on your next VTOL :D
@iiRazor These are the fuselage blocks I talked about
@Brields95 But I had to use it to make this plane lol (But that translates to roughly 2.707)
You are so fast at building planes!!!
@Brields95 Yes, the diameter should be 3. (The blocks they are built of have side lengths of 2 + sin 45°)
I hope the controller isn't to scale ...
@BaconAircrafts Thank you!!
Omg 18 entries now!! Can you reserve a spot for me?
Do what you want :D
I'm starting to get nervous for the open spots here now ...
@iiRazor Fuselage blocks with rounded edges clipped together with increasing rotation. (10 degree increments)
@BaconAircrafts I see you already finished your latest project ...
@HellFireKoder The mod was really helpful when creating the round 3x3 fuselage :)
@BaconAircrafts Wasn't there a download for mac?
@BaconAircrafts The Fine Tuner Mod by @HellFireKoder
It's amazing!
@BaconAircrafts for your challenge
@AndrewGarrison lol
@zackattack316 I think the developers used some database magic
Jelly got quite a few points back
Congrats on 100k man
Mediocre didn't get his 2 × e^πi points
@Tully2001 The mod deletes itself too lol @HellFireKoder
@Baldovino lol
I wan't my 100.0k overlord rank back :(
gg
I'm on 169 :P
I'm white again lol
@BaconEggs I get notifications for their conversation I can't even understand lol
@Dredex The struggle of living on a spinning sphere lol
@Stingray Yes it was
I'm making an Airbus A350-900 XWB for it!
@Dredex Central time? What time does that translate into for Europeans? 😅
@Skua An even heftier test. Some of the users haven't been on the site for some time though ...
You have now recieved your prize for winning the MACH challenge! :)
I've finally judged the challenge (after 6 months lol) and you came third!!
You came in second place!
Congrats! You are the winner! (I've finally judged 6 months too late)
@TopSecret2 @TA1ton @Stingray @Reaper9 @Puredeath @Onenail @NovaTopaz @Nickasaurus @Lucky13 @lowobservable @Jettison @Exumer @Dullwolf @Dominik @Delphinus @adam99 @ETheGodly
@zackattack316 Yes, but this is for building airliners. The wing landing gear doesn't look too great on an airliner.
800 parts is the limit to even download a creation to mobile, but 800 part creations tend to be very laggy on mobile.
@ViperGByt They are still efficient over Mach 1. That's the problem with them.
@ViperGByt Because they are overpowered. The last tournament was won by a plane that used the old props.
@Baldovino Sadly not. I'm incredible close to 1:39 though.
1:40 improving second by second
1:41 now
@ViperGByt I have cleared the course in 1:42
My preliminary submitted plane can complete the course in 1:42 ... This race will be really LONG!
@SimpleKingdomAerialTesting It can be a VTOL as long as it only uses prop engines, but I don't get why you would want to submit a VTOL!
I think we need more short races in the game. The lunar Arc didn't take the whole night as the other tournaments did.
I guess this turned out to be a white Dutch conversation xD
< The by far easiest way to build VTOL aircraft is to use the designated VTOL parts in the game (VTOL engine, VTOL nozzles and RCN).
< Make sure the CoL is in the exact same place as the CoM. Press 'Show CoM, CoL, CoT' (or spacebar) on this one
< Provide a way to control the plane when no air is rushing over the wings (when in vertical flight). The easiest way is to stick some RCN on your creation; just make sure all axis are covered (Pitch, roll and yaw)
