Hi all, these days i have a lot of work. Sorry i can not reply all your questions. However,
most of the questions you ask me are answered by reading the rules of the post. Please take your time reading the challenge rules. Don't try to bend the rules. :-D
@DaKraken I think a bomber is not the type of aircraft requested in this challenge. It would not be effective. We are looking for attack aircraft (Category1) and circular flight artillery aircraft (Category2).
@RamboJutter In principle, the planes will take off from an airfield. You can reduce parts using the landing gears that come by default, and add some custom component to them. It is a technique that works well and allows you to build faster.
@TrojanAircraftSystems You have to comply with the 8G rule. Keep in mind that the other planes will also comply. We want it to be the same for everyone. About the Funky Trees, I recommend you see my videos on how to build airplanes.
@brians1209 The Mach rule is for any aircraft of this challenge. There is little point in reducing the theoretical speed of an F-18, for example, to fit this challenge. Keep in mind that in this challenge, speed is not that important. It is much more important, to have good control of the plane to be able to target the enemy well.
@brians1209 Hello, at the moment the details of the mission are unknown, since it is still being developed. I can say that the secondary objectives will be buildings or some small convoy. But don't get obsessed with weapons. The number of targets will be realistic. They can be eliminated for the most part with a realistic loadout of weapons. As for the color scheme, you are free to do it however you want. However, the environment is desert. It is supposed to be a Middle Eastern country. As for the Mig-21s, at most there will be 1.
Ground attack aircraft are allowed for close support operations, also for counter-insurgency and light attack. In any case, they may be jet or turboprop type. These aircraft will fly in category 1. Some examples of this type of aircraft are: A-10 Thunderbolt II, Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, Sukhoi Su-25, Ilyushin Il-102
Category 2
On the other hand, Gunship-type aircraft are allowed. These are jet or turboprop aircraft that have heavy artillery, and cannons on one of their sides, for ground attack. It is essential that these aircraft can fly in a circle automatically, to be able to attack the targets on the ground without having to worry about their piloting. These aircraft will fly in category 2. Some examples of this type of aircraft are: Douglas AC-47 Spooky, Fairchild AC-119, AC-130 Spectre
Build Rules
General
VERY IMPORTANT! The design and behaviour of the aircraft must be realistic. Spaceships, potato planes, planes with exaggerated speeds, incredible amounts of weapons, insane maneuverability will be disqualified.
Must be successor of this post
Must be a new post, no reuploads
Can be fictional or replica
Max 1 entry per person per category
XML is allowed and expected
Your entry must be more than 300 parts and less than 780 parts
The weight and drag of the details can be 0
The description is highly recommended and it will be specified: 1) Year of introduction, 2) Manufacturer, 3) Options, Specifications, Features
For category 1 airplanes, the maximum allowable G-force is 8G. Its speed will always be subsonic at low altitude. The speed can be supersonic at medium or high altitude. The maximum speed is 1.4 mach = 1074,18 mp/h = 1728,72 km/h
For category 2 airplanes, they must have an autonomous circling system. Its speed

For category 2 airplanes, they must have an autonomous circling system. Its speed will always be subsonic. The maximum allowable G-force is 4G
Weapons
For category 1 airplanes, You can design your own custom weapons. You can use a maximum of 2 guns (Include cannons, rotary cannon or combination, with a maximum of 30mm). The maximum number of hardpoints will be 11. The atomic weapon is not allowed for this challenge. Max countermeasures x 100
For category 2 airplanes, You can design your own custom weapons, You can use a maximum of 5 guns (Include cannons, rotary cannon or combination of different calibers, with a maximum of 105mm). The maximum number of hardpoints will be 4. The atomic weapon is not allowed for this challenge. Max countermeasures x 300
There are some problems. Your entry not meet the rules. If want build a gunship, the weapons must be in a side of the plane, similar configuration as AC-130 Spectre Take a look please. In the other hand, the entry must be more than 300 parts and less than 780 parts, i publish in a comment the rules for your read...
Dear friends, do not forget to check that the rules are met. Check the number of parts, the type of plane, weapons, etc... In this way, you will avoid your entry being disqualified on the day of the challenge.
@Datarcuchir SI ya has hecho un mapa, habrás generado dos archivos: 1) modname.spmod, 2) modname.spmod-info; ambos disponibles en C:\Users*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Mods. Once located the files, go to Simpleplanes.com > Stuff > Mods > Create Mod > load spmod-info. Once created, load in your Dropbox the file spmod. Obtain a link to share with all and put them into the details of your mod.
@CreeperOfTheFortress jejeje Counter Tourist! No no! We need tourists!! Welcome! About your planes, I can only say that airplanes from all over the world are accepted, that meet the challenge rules. Keep in mind that the challenge is not only to destroy an enemy on a map, it is a construction challenge with some parameters. Regarding the missiles, I think there have been some videos posted about that ... How to make Custom Missiles without Mods and How to build a Smart Bomb
@FeatherWing Yes you can send an entry in the current beta. About guns, you can use a max of 2 guns with a maximum diammeter of 30 mm gun or cannon. Also, you can combine, for example, a gun of 20mm and a gun of 30mm; or a gun of 25 mm and another one of 27mm.
@MajorSix im the pilot. About planes, in the description show you the type of planes. Mainly attack planes with the characteristics that was indicated.
@FireFast212 this plane does not participate in the challenge. I publish it as a reference plane, as an example of what is sought in the challenge.
@banbantheman you can fly it. First download and make Undo, and Redo, and you obtain the plane without mods

Thanks for this creation!
GREAT!!!
Very nice modelo!!!
@DaKraken I think a bomber is not the type of aircraft requested in this challenge. It would not be effective. We are looking for attack aircraft (Category1) and circular flight artillery aircraft (Category2).
@UtsuhoReiuji You can design a stealth plane, as long as you respect the rules. However, as far as I know, there is no absorbing Radar material ...
@ZZking You can easily change it with the "Overload Mod". We are all trying to adhere to these rules to make it as fair as possible.
@RamboJutter In principle, the planes will take off from an airfield. You can reduce parts using the landing gears that come by default, and add some custom component to them. It is a technique that works well and allows you to build faster.
@HawaiiRanger I think you have it available in the top menu, next to "Window" and "Component". Just select it and drag it to the right panel.
@TMach5 thank you very much!!
Great!
@RamboJutter I understand, the limit is to be able to play it on the map and with the computer that I have ...
@TrojanAircraftSystems You have to comply with the 8G rule. Keep in mind that the other planes will also comply. We want it to be the same for everyone. About the Funky Trees, I recommend you see my videos on how to build airplanes.
@ZZking take a look at the MIK International where I have it implemented.
@TrojanAircraftSystems are allowed, but read the rules before
@Pita Exactly!
@RamboJutter Yes it is possible by making a gyroscope tilt toward left or right.

Great plane!
@QuesoAirlines no sorry
@brians1209 Yes its ok
@brians1209 you can take a look in youtube about how explode several weapons to adjust it
@CreeperOfTheFortress your cannon has 999999 ammo. In the other hand, your plane not roll

@Tomcatbetterthanhornet You can find an airplane that has it adapted and make a subassembly part. Some of my planes have it adapted, take a look.

@BagelPlane yes, it may be, I can think of something like an antonov an-2 gunship type, for example
@Mostly Yes I have read it a long time ago, I admit it.
@Altmztrn It´s not real. Only a game.
@BuiltBionixInd10 In this challenge it is up to the anti-terrorists. It´s only a game
@Pita yes ok
@DarkMarble1 The F-4 does not meet the rules of the challenge. It is too fast.
@ChrisPy We are looking for planes that are Subsonic at low altitude, and supersonic at medium or high altitude. With a maximum speed of Mach 1.4
@Pita It will be curious to see your plane ;-)
@WarHawk95 Yes, perfectly
Would be incredible if simpleplanes include Spain tag...
@KnightOfRen If like the map, would be in the next update of SimplePlanes
@MisterT Wow!! You are the first! Thank you!
Winner of the Area88 Challenge! Congratulations!!
