CFC S3 rules are here!

Video coming in a few hours!

- The competition is done in KSP 1.4.3 using BDAc 1.2.1 and 
  Airplanes+ 21.1. Please check your mods list to see if your craft 
  complies with these requirements, otherwise there may be some 
  issues when trying to inspect your craft

- Your maximum altitude setting on the BDAc AI Pilot module may 
  not exceed 4000 meters

- Your plane must be at or below a 5km lock on range, this can be 
  checked as shown in the video.

- Only the propeller engines and cockpits are allowed to be used 
  from Airplanes+, this because I do not have a large amount of 
  experience with AP+. You may not use propeller and jet engines 
  on the same airplane.

- There is a maximum of 16 planes that are allowed to enter, 2 per 
  person to fill the competition up nicely. Please give me a name 
  that I can call you, not all the email accounts have the correct and 
  current username of the person in question. There is no deadline, 
  an announcement will be posted when the limit is reached.

- Action Groups cannot hinder my setup process, it is advised that 
  you stay away from the Stage, Gear and SAS action groups to 
  prevent any issues. If you still want to use these action groups, 
  then please refer to this procedure list:
  - I load the plane up on the runway
  - I hit space to activate all engines at half thrust for a second to 
    get the craft moving off the runway. During this step I don't want 
    any afterburners to be active
  - I put it on the brakes
  - If your craft wobbles, slides or explodes upon reloading I'll 
    retract the landing gear. I want the landing gear down at all times 
    during this procedure, so no loading up craft with retracted 
    landing gear

- You can't update your craft after you passed flight inspection. 
  Flight inspection will put you up against the Ce Asari Mk IV C, a 
  continued development of the Asari Mk IV B-3 featured in the 
  season 2 final challenge.
  Download it here:

- The guns must be set to a minimum of 1000 meters firing range 
  on the maximum firing range slider, this to prevent any cheeky 
  AIM-9 tactics.

- The guns allowed are 6 50 cals, 3 locked Vulcan turrets, Hidden 
  Vulcans, locked 50 cal turrets, M230's or GAU-8's and 1 Howitzer. 
  No mixing guns, guns are mandatory 

- 8 armour plates at default armour settings allowed

- Drones and cockpits are allowed, any number of probe cores and 
  cockpits will do. No command seats to prevent easy 1km lock-on 
  planes utilizing Kerbal parachutes.

- RTG and Radome must be included in your craft, this to give the 
  allowed AIM-120's a chance at firing and being detected if they're 
  coming in.

- No clipping parts to use as armour, this is a rule open to 
  interpretation and thus can cause for some confusion

- All planes of CFC S2 are only allowed to be edited by their original 
  creator, with carryover solutions allowed.

- ECM's are banned, like in the last season. Your lock-on is basically 
  your jammer anyway.

- DLC parts aren't allowed, this to give everyone an equal chance 
  with the base game. Also because I'm not the (not so) proud 
  owner of the DLC.

- Must face and preferably beat the Ce Asari Mk IV C form earlier, 
  with 1 modification opportunity when the craft fails to do so.
  Parts that are allowed to be modified or replaced are:
  - Control surfaces
  - Guns
  - Missiles
  - AI
  - Weapon Manager

- Default armor values 

- Multistaging allowed due to a silly mistake by me

Max of 85 parts

Please send your craft to [email protected] and include a name you wanna be called by.
