Yeah, you're right, really. I'll let off of the rules a bit. I'll update the rules now so that they're both clearer and easier to follow.

I'll put it up as unverified as this is a stock challenge and you have mods installed.

To confirm what Geher said, yes, this is a seat that Jeb was sitting on. I tried to EVA him and he flew up out of the water. Thanks Neistridlar! I'll post my results soon.

The quote says it's from Kokanee, and it says that the jet engines' thrust power have been changed. This is a quote from the wiki's changelog: Jet thrusts rebalanced for new drag (thrusts lowered, BJE curves altered). Jet Isp halved due to increased fuel quantity and lower drag. So I'm going to keep the unverified asterisk there, until you update to 1.05. I'm trying to keep this fair, which means I need to be careful.

Yeah, updated the rule. Sorry 'bout that, just thought it was said in the rules already, and a LOT of people updated to 1.05 already.

I'll put it up with an asterisk for unverified, but can you do it again in 1.05 with the new re-textured Wheesley jet? The game went through certain aerodynamic changes and the Wheesley's stats were tweaked slightly, so the plane might not produce the same results as it would have post-update. Can you also verify the part count on that thing?

Water you guys talking about?

In need of a flag/logo/image to be photoshopped/created/edited? I'll do it! Just post what you want me to make and the photo size, or an image to photoshop.

Not sure what the plane looks like, so I can't add it to the roster yet. (I can't see the photos, they're the default image error icon. Try adding .png to the end, or whatever they are. If you're uploading from Imgur, use the second URL paste thing; i.e. www.imgur.com/exampleimage.png) (Note that link is nonfunctional)

Oh! Sorry, couldn't see that from the view that was shown. - - - Updated - - - Beat my record! I made another plane: the Hexaglider 2. Only 5 parts, launched without wheels from the ground. Uses a single Juno engine. Speed record screenie:

That seems a bit cheaty, due to the fact that I can't see the command module, but I'll let it pass.

I tried to make a shuttle out of a Vector engine and a Mammoth engine, though the thrust was too much and the thing exploded. The challenge here is being able to get a craft that goes quickly underwater. I don't care if it's downloaded or not. That brings me to my point. Since I don't have the expertise to do a plane-drop, I'll ask for the second-quickest craft, which is Neistridlar's submersible. If I could have the download, that would be cool. I want to discover the depths of Kerbin's oceans. Might find some rare bugs down there too.

Yeah, I know, but since 1.05 came out and a ton of aerodynamic changes have been made, I thought I would start a new thread. - - - Updated - - - Sure, I'd love to see it. By the way, can I have both of your part counts for your planes, Alphasus and MacGamer04? I tried to eyeball the part count and I got a tie, though I'm not sure if it's completely accurate, so I just wanted to check.

Got a tiny jet glider I made to hit the ocean floor, wasn't even intended for sea travel. I think I might have found the crack in the floor of the ocean that PDS134 found, noticed the ground was black instead of solid blue. Crack in the ocean: There's the oceanic crack I believe, the black thing there. I didn't investigate though, sadly, thought it was a lighting glitch. Here's my depth record: And yes, that is on the ocean floor. Silly Jebadiah, your face would be crushed by the immense pressure. EDIT:​ You can also see the huge crack in this photo, though I didn't see that until I posted this.

I had an idea for racing small planes in Kerbin. The race is not plane versus plane; however; it is a speed race; who can get the fastest speed? Rules: Must show a screenshot of the top speed. (Put these images in a spoiler tab if you can) Must use either one J-33 Wheesley jet engine or two J-20 Juno jet engines (you can use one J-20 Juno jet engine if you want) This is version 1.05+. Due to aerodynamics changes, any planes tested before this will produce different results. Don't use mods that specifically alter game mechanics or fly the game for you. Informational mods are fine (i.e. Kerbal Engineer). Don't clip tanks, engines, intakes, wings, command pods, or other objects into your craft. Altitude limit is 5,000 meters to prevent really high altitude diving; inclination on the Navball can't exceed -50 degrees down. Don't edit the files to make the engines more powerful - don't use the cheat panel either (basically no cheating). May the speediest craft win! Fastest airspeed 1. 735 m/s - SeaDart - Kanil 2. 715 m/s - Unnamed craft - Sanic 3. 697 m/s - Unnamed craft - Kanil 4. 674 m/s - XR-1 - Mudkip775 5. 643.5 m/s - Tails Mk.2 - Alphasus 6. 600.7 m/s - Pell-Mell - littlebuddy0 7. 580 m/s - The Orkney Blast - HamnavoePer 8. 573 m/s - Unnamed craft - Friethjoph 9. 380 m/s - K-G23A - MacGamer04 10. 333.8 m/s - G3032 - AeroArchonite_ 11. 274 m/s - Hexaglider 2 - AeroArchonite_ 12. - 13. - 14. - 15. - 16. - 17. - 18. - 19. - 20. - Smallest Plane 1. 5 Parts - Hexaglider 2 - AeroArchonite_ 2. 6 Parts - Unnamed craft - Kanil 3. 8 Parts - XR-1 - Mudkip775 TIE 4. 9 Parts - SeaDart - Kanil TIE 4. 9 Parts - Unnamed craft - Friethjoph 6. 12 Parts - Unnamed craft - Sanic 7. 13 Parts - Tails Mk.2 - Alphasus 8. 15 Parts - K-G23A - MacGamer04 TIE 9. 18 Parts - Pell-Mell - littlebuddy0 TIE 9. 18 Parts - The Orkney Blast - HamnavoePer 10. 21 Parts - G3032 - AeroArchonite_ 11. - 12. - 13. - 14. - 15. - 16. - 17. - 18. - 19. - 20. - And yes, this challenge is based off of the Red Bull races, though since KSP doesn't have propeller plane engines, I substituted jet engines. My plane is the G3032, click the spoiler below for more details: NOTE: This is partially out of date. My second entry is on the second page. Here's my entry to the race: The G3032. Pretty small, uses one Wheesley jet engine. Here's the official signature banner for the thread:

Rainy. And yes, this is stock. I used Photoshop to make it more realistic.

Got my flying wing up to 1036 m/s in atmosphere, though it was for a challenge, so I could prob get its speed higher. I got it to 9036m at 1172 m/s. Then it exploded.

Oh ho, you really asked the wrong person for this! I really doubt anyone else will be able to get any faster than this; if they can I'm sure I can push it to at least 1500 m/s. Very nearly passed the altitude limit.

As a fellow Californian, I say we cut off all the water to the Beverly Hills region and anyone who's using more than twice the limit. If they have THAT big of a lawn/pool, they can pay having to shower in bottled water. Kerbal style.

"I'm digging up buried treasure! The coffin is useful for carrying around artifacts, officer!" You are caught next to the Cape Canaveral launch site with a nuke taped to an entire rocket on the back of your truck, and a forged security card.

Modified poster I made to promote my space company:

Large-scale mining rover. I finally got to put those huge rover wheels to use.

I've been watching around the forum for about two months now, and I figured I'd sign up for an account considering I have a ton of planes and rovers and stuff to upload and develop. I noticed that I don't have an option to select an avatar on the profile editor, so I figure that I can kill two birds with one stone and post my image here.
