Jeb ?

Working on my Dakar project, meet the "Grasshopper" Build around a Apache cockpit, full electric, tuned the wheels config file to reach a speed over 100 m/s and still be steerable. } steeringCurve { key = 0 25 key = 10 9 key = 30 2 } torqueCurve { key = 0 500 0 50 key = 200 100 50 key = 300 14 0 50 key = 340 0 0 50 } It can even drive fast under water Bill and Bob don't seem to like it somehow....

I am still playing with this, thanks to SpaceplaneAddict wing "tip" (pun ) this buggy can ride and steer at speeds over 100 m/s, but still is very vulnerable for heavy impact after jumps. Craft file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lgqx987gqv2erim/Buggy%20II.craft?dl=0 *CFG files for the wheels are edited to do this* roverWheelM1.cfg : } steeringCurve { key = 0 25 key = 10 9 key = 30 2 } torqueCurve { key = 0 500 0 50 key = 200 100 50 key = 300 14 0 50 key = 340 0 0 50 } It can even drive fast under water I still need a way to set up a track and be able to time the run...suggestions anyone ?

That sounds great, I will look into that and get back soon.

It failed so bad, but the designer called it a succes...not that funny though.

Thanks Hodo, I will look into that ! I wish there where 2 gate parts in the game that could time the distance and be placed anywhere, isn't there a mod for that ?

@ SpaceplaneAddict Wow, awesome buggy, I like the working wing, didn't think of that I'm thinking of Tuning your wheel parts, making it go faster and giving it better steering. My "buggy" goes 85 m/s (306 kph), but I have to tune the steering, it keeps biting dust.... We still need a track...

Some test work on a old body frame. It's going to enter Dakar when finished.

Heyyy party people, Dakar 2016 is coming up, and I'd like to design a bogus dune buggy dude . . . Any mods I can use to make one ? I will be tweaking parts in the CFG files so I won't go slow bro !

Dakar 2016 is coming up and as a fan I like to design a manned rover that is up for a offroad challenge. Is there a way to set up a track on Kerbin ? Can I spawn a car there and time the race ? Is this possible ? (Edit: wheel parts are tweaked)

Thanks for the feedback guys, I've been running A LOT of fighting simulations and the AI of BDArmory (and switching views) gives me no way to accurate tell me what plane is better.... I am closing this challenge, not do-able as it is, feel free to make your own "Top 10 List of Fighters" challenge....The idea is still a good one I think. Thanks for the comments gentlemen, signing off.

No problem, I can make a separate list for that. It's all about the list, the best plane goes on top. This challenge needs to be tweaked so I need people to send in planes, so I can work out the details.

-----------------------CLOSED-------------------- This challenge may be a bit confussing the way it looks now, but i'm going to put it up as it is now, just to see if people are interested. Stock Fighters can be uploaded now and compete (please do) If you have questions/suggestions please comment in this thread. Remember, this is NOT like the TOP GUN challenge... Welcome gentlemen. This challenge is simular to the list used in the popular T.V.show "Street Outlaws". you will have to engineer an aircraft using only BDArmory capable to defeat the #10 on the list. (for now its #1) Since I'm just starting, you will be fighting my aircraft, but even if you lose, the first 9 are automatically on the list. RULES: Fighting is one on one. Clipping: Only for aesthetics, no double engines or fueltanks pushed in the canopy, you know what I mean. WE WILL KNOW Mods: BD Armory only. Craft script files: Dont even go there....WE WILL KNOW Judgement: You will have to do the fight simulations (one on one) yourselfs, meaning both participants. If you are in the top 10 you should run the simulations as well, expected is that you give it a judgement to. Fairness and fun is the final judgement. How it works: If the first entry defeats me I will be number 2 and the winner will be safe from everyone although as beeing number 2 I can challenge him again for the spot (meaning upgrading or building a new aircraft). This also means that the next challenger (number 3) can challenge number 2, taking his place to challenge number 1. Confused ? Good, let us move on. *For now : Download my craft: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nxlk4l8bopuufo/Interceptor.craft?dl=0 Now upload your craft on this thread (Dropbox or something) and you are in. Simulate the battle (as many times you like) : All fights should be simulated on a KSP version having only the mod BD Armory installed ! Post your outcome on this thread, (no need to prove via pictures or video, WE WILL KNOW ) Judgement will not be important until we have a full top 10 list, If you are in the top 10 list it is expected of you to also simulate and judge fights. Use as much ammo, guns, flares, missiles as you like, but notice that "less is more" and "keep it simple" are the best ways to go. ------------under---construction---------------- Don't like the rules ? You can still enter, there will be a "dirty" top 10 list for all you clippers and coders out there. ------------under---construction---------------- THE LIST 1: Interceptor 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: Good luck gentlemen.

I have been away for a while, ( playing Prison Architect ) But now I am back ! KiG 28....Never seen this close before... Going to start a {-BDarmor AI Fighters-} top 10 list challenge soon for all you ACES out there. . . . Do you think you are up to it ? Will your name be on that list . . . . ?

[h=1]What Would KSP Be Like In 3 Years?[/h]Will we still be alive by then ?

*Playing Prison Architect right now... @KSP: "I'll be back"

Today the sun hitted me instead of the other way around....Summer...evaporated....

Nice ! Congratz !

Zipmafia & t3hJimmer Awesome job guys !

Today, I went for SPEED ! No Kerbalâ„¢ was killed.

Get a S.S.T.O. with as lot as :huh: you can stick in/on into orbit and get them back safe. Take off anywhere you like, use whatever engines you like, crash back into Kerbin if you like, as long as your Kerbals are alive you have made the board. (and try not to cheat, but mods are allowed.) Most orbiting kerbals gets to be #1 ! Rules: - Single stage, so no "droppings" (Yak !) - No kerbals die ! (they don't seem to like it that much ...) - Prove with pictures or video that you did it. LEADERBOARD 1: j3hJimmer 132 Kerbals 2: Zipmafia 32 Kerbals 3: 4: 5: GOODLUCK !

What I hate about KSP ? It forces me to use mods for competing challenges done in this forum Edit: Still don't use them, and I can't blame KSP for it, it's not their fault...

Thanks for all the info guys, saves me some testflights.

You should be in politics

After E.V.A: Now were is my ladder...
