  1. Ok, revert to 2. But add one to make it 3!
  2. But either way, it doesn't matter too much. Want to give it a shot?
  3. Welcome back! It's a whole new game now.
  4. Who here can build a stock F-117? Compete to see (or not see ) how your replica stacks up! Despite the "F" designation, it is (was) a bomber. So, here are your specifications: Must: Have an internal weapons bay Be able to carry two bombs internally, with a total weight of 2 tonnes Be subsonic in level flight @ 10 Km Follow the general shape of the F-117 Be crewed The above specifications are requirements to have your entry considered. If one or more is not met, I will add you as a Gatecrasher. Should: Carry one crew member maximum (+100) Have a CH-J3 Fly-By-Wire Avionics Hub (+50) Have two engines maximum (+100) Be able to operate at 14,000 m (+70) These are the highest-scoring point categories. Would be Nice's: Have a 1720 Km Combat range (+25) Max and Cruise speeds are the same (+40) Max Speed @ 10 Km is 275 m/s (+15) Cruising speed @ your cruising altitude is 275 m/s (+15) These are based on the actual specifications of the F-117 Bonus's: GTFO: contain a ejector seat (+10) By the Book 1: Have a length of 20 m (+10) By the Book 2: Have a wingspan of 13.2 m (+10) By the Book 3: Have a height of 3.7 m with wheels up (+10) Signed by the Author: Meet BtB 1,2, and 3 (+15) Slow and Steady: Have TWR ≤ .40 with full fuel and bombs (+10) Wobblin' Goblin: Be unflyable without SAS enabled (+10) F-19: State your desire to participate and show a teaser of a stealth plane which is not a prototype of your entry (+5) JDAM: Design a pair of unpowered, guided bombs to work with your plane (+10) JSOW: Design the best JDAM which meets the above bonus. A totally subjective category. Impress me! (+5) Going the Distance: Have in-flight refueling capabilities (+10) So you think you can fly, punk?: Submit a video/pictures showing a full refueling in the air. Must start with 10% or less of your total fuel load aboard (+50) Penalties: I'll let you off with a warning: Use a turbojet (-10 per jet) Speeding!: Use a R.A.P.I.E.R (-20 per engine) Speed Limit: During level flight @ 10 Km, go faster than 295 m/s (-10) No, it's not the SR-71: Get confused about which plane is which (-5) No, it's not the X-15: Use oxidizer in your engines (-10, only applicable to RAPIERS if they switch to closed cycle) (Oxidizer may be used for balancing) Definitions: Level Flight is flying with +/- 10 m/s vertical speed. Operations @ 14 Km means taking no more than 30 seconds to do a 180 horizontal turn. Combat range: be able to cruise out, bomb, and land at KSC. Unflyable: requires constant corrections when flying @ cruising speed and altitude, "when you even touch the keys, it jumps all over, and you have to constantly correct for the twitchiness." BtB 1,2, & 3: A tolerance of ± 0.5 m will be considered acceptable. TWR: After no more than one (1) minute of flying, check your thrust @ 500m and your weight in the map view. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN NON_STOCK PARTS MAY BE USED! You may also use an info mod, such as KER or MJ to see and post your TWR after no more than one (1) minute of flying. Scoring: Add up your scoring and penalties. Post in this thread with: 1. Your craft's name, score, and bonuses 2. Pictures in the SPH, flying, and bombing 4. Completion of various bonus objectives, i.e. GTFO'ing for GTFO 4. Any other information you want to add Leaderboard: 1. TheLongRun; Fallacy-117, 415, The reigning Champion! 2. builder396; KSP F-117, 330, GTFO at its simplest 3. sgt_flyer; F-117, 320, JSOW, in MRS' words, "Just imagine a white F-117, perfect in every detail." 4. Starwhip; Strike Kite, 310, had to restart from scratch after the original was too Wobblin' 5.Thomas988; The Guppy!, 270 6. burnoutforzai; F-117 Murica, 200, Wonderful replica, but lost a lot of points on the turbojets 7. 8. Gatecrashers: The Mad Rocket Scientist; The F-117, 305; Likes to invent new scoring and ignore the real ones burnoutforzai; F-117 MURICA, 145; A beut! ihtoit; Bat and F-117A Stealth Replica, two-two-two planes in one! But he used non-stock parts... F-19's: Dman979 SkunkWorks: Endersmens PsychoSane A badge for participants will be added shortly! Now looking for additional bonuses! Banner by ghostbuzzer7
  5. I love seeing WWII planes here. Shouldn't it have a longer range, though? It was used as a scout plane, I think.
  6. 7/10 A bit confusing quotes-wise.
  7. Gets lamb. Inserts BurgerKing.
  8. I'm slightly famous in my own right. See sig.
  9. Nope, but I'm Dman! Who would endmen?
  10. If your mom had to choose two states to go to, what would they be? Idaho, Alaska.
  11. Actually, with the wonderful "Import Picture" feature, I'm using the original as my reference. So I'm skipping to step 3 and translating the graphs around a lot.
  12. Wooo HOoOO! Time to do a MiG-15 VS. F-86 Sabre! I can hardly wait to get KSP running! EDIT:
  13. I don't know about using matrices(?), I haven't tried to yet. You can limit the lines. I've done that on every line so far, that's what the brackets are for.
  14. I'm still looking for help. Please?
  15. 50... Drat, the biggest revert in the game was MY fault!
