Maybe set up two airbases 100 km apart so planes won't have to fly out to 85km every time?

They would have to be kerbal konstructs, as terrain loading makes it impossible to place objects more than 20 km away unless placed on an static mesh(e.g, KK-KSise runway)

BDA cant control it. It wildly yaws and spins after takeoff.

I have updated the craft. You can retest it

Will do tommorow!

Peregrine vs Jaguar:

Spoiler

In the initial missile rounds, 1 Jaguar was lost. Suprisingly, the one remaining Jaguar held off for a while, but was eventually lost to a missile.

 

Also, I FINALLY got Dogfight Competition mode to work. 65 km is the new standard.

To avoid exploding your planes by your own missiles, set ejection speed to max and set drop time to zero. Downward ejection is slightly safer than forward ejection.

Will do that! I think that was what got the jaguar, as no missile from the sf-1 could reach me that fast.

Hmmm. Don't think my plane qualifies.

Though if I refited my hornet replica with BDA weapons...

Edit: @dundun92 is this 1.3?

Im using 1.2.2, as that's what FAR is compatible with. But if changing the version number from 1.3.0 to 1.2.2 works, I'll take it.

Too light, and can't be a drone.

P.S, @MiffedStarfish you have a hornet replica? I will put on the weapons for you, as in the OP.

What about this?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cijp3p14oye7ajr/McDonnell Douglas F_A-18C Hornet BD.craft?dl=0

Im new to BDA (downloaded it a few hours ago) so I'd apprieciate if you checked it over and maybe changed some weapons.

Edit: It uses stock hinges in the design, but with physics extender there should be no problem, and it is the nature of them that aeven the AI will be able to operate it. Stage once with your hands off the keyboard to activate it.

Will try! What are the hinges for? Folding wings?

P.S here's my f-18 replica

Nah, the rear canards. theyre arent any the right size and shape in the stock game so i built my own. Theyre hooked up to flaps though, so the AI can control them.

@dundun92 the image isnt working.

Canards are foreplanes that do the job of elevators, but located at the front, unlike elevators.

AND YOU LIAR, YOU SAID YOU DON'T USE PART MODS!!!

That's the second time, someone's told me that, doh!

I downloaded BDA to 1v1 a friend, and thought I'd enter this while I have it installed. It's on my 1.3 copy, and I'm waiting for 1.3.1 to fully transition. I did kinda go back on that, but it's on an alternate copy of the game. None of my craft I release will have mods though.

(and if your interested in who won between me and my friend, check out the latest video on my YouTube channel)

Well then. While you are at it, try submitting a few to my battle thread. I could hold up to 3 matches.

The elevators are not working.

I think there is a bug in FAR. If you launch my craft first (without loading a save) from VAB, it will work fine. 

However if you load a save game, it is uncontrollable

So I need a new save?
