Most recent planes I have will probably get rekt the moment they face anything on the leaderboard

I have succeeded in teaching exbyde the ways of the dank

You should totally make a dundun69 account

3 wings y man y do you do this

hell yea bois DN-65 is best plane although I do think that its remaining time is short-lived, since it uses a craft file edit to set the scan interval to less than one, letting it switch weapons and react faster Will submit an upgraded, fairer version that does not engage in any of those shenanigans soon

You can do some really cool stuff by setting an engine's fuel consumption to be negative--there's actually a thread on here in which they made an "Epstein drive" from a Netflix series by having a spider engine regenerate fuel to power a vector

But what makes mine super while Eidahill's is not? Don't we all have wildly differing definitions of how much is editing too much?

that's right 100x engine thrust plane can we do it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Wait I have a brilliant idea to what extent can we take directly modifying the .craft file?

does h e c k count?

But on a brighter note, you should always download a craft from the leaderboard on the first page and fine tune your plane to successfully beat it. I won't lie, that is pretty much what I did with the 65, and trust me, it is so much better seeing your aircraft successfully rise up the leaderboard in one go, than having to go back and recreate the airplane from the ground up. If anyone here has yet to at least try their craft against someone else's, then I would definitely suggest for you to do that. goddamit lol you beat me to it

RIP engineers and their families

but what if R60 OP?

ayy thx

Where from fam. I definitely need to get my hands on that stuff because the afterburner sound effect alone is enough to make it better than the panther.

What in the world are those engines holy damn

Not really sure. I've definitely had the same problem as you once--AIM-9s randomly blowing up shortly after launching. Detonation distance override is a setting that tells the missile to blow up this many meters away from the target, meaning that if you set it at 10, upon coming to within 10 meters of its target, it will detonate, which in itself is a useful feature, since you can kill planes even if you miss the,m by a few feet, since the missile will auto detonate. What OS are you running KSP on?

It certainly does play a factor in achieving lock on. After it has locked onto you, however, it will keep pursuing you, regardless of whether you turned it off to evade, making countermeasures a priority. It also helps to limit the amount of engines you have to no more than two, as I've found by going into BD's debug options, that each part plays a role in determining the total "heat output" of a craft.

lmao the 65 gave up on life and pitched up for some reason only to get rekt

Lol no I was talking about myself

tbh They should make a function that automatically adds /s after every post you make can't be be let down by my brainless behavior if you aren't expecting anything remotely useful in the first place ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You may have beaten the DN-65C But can you succeed against the l e g e n d a r y Type 29?

I know its a blatant ripoff lol. I put zero effort into replacing the cockpit, and was interested in seeing just how much it was possible to manipulate the concept of ownership in what is essentially an open-source enviroment by submitting a completely useless meme craft and incessantly declaring it to be totally original Though yeah, in retrospect, I now see what a complete waste of time me trying to do that was, since absolutely nothing useful came out of it.

dn-69 is not a copy it is the epitome of originality and making one's own craft without stealing from others ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You are free to not include it if you don't want to--this is your competition after all. It's just that I do not see how exactly there can be any "true" replica of a real life craft, and why it must be the only one that is ever used when referencing it.
