look at him' he's the captain now. My thought would be no dice. Text editing isn't something in-game, can really change performance of missiles and the like , and isn't something a noobie will catch onto. But again, he's the captain now.

Looking back at it though, the Lancers are REALLY wobbly.....
The Kelps forgot to dodge.

When life gets in the way ;-;
@exbyde I suspect that the dunduns might be peeved a little. But hey, life is a priority. You do you
Its more a new job and a project ive been procrastinating on since last year. Once Flite Fest East is done mid-july i may make more regular appearances. Im confident thay while some may object, the thread will be in more capable hands and continue on with Herobrian's original vision in my absence.

I'm officially handing over control of this competition to @Box of Stardust. I unfortunately have found myself with new responsibilities, and if the last month has not clearly demonstrated, i most likely will not have time to participate here as i have.

I mean, it's more of a collaborative leaderboard by this point, but there was the disclaimer all the way on the first temporary take over post that if you had any problem with any battles done and their results, final say was yours since there hasn't been any talk of changing who may be the de facto competition runner.
And at the moment, i'm not invalidating your results. You may not be aware of my current opinions on people testing their own aircraft officially, i find it something like handing out blank checks. I'll be reviewing footage later tonight before i do anything, including updating leaderboards, but i have no reason to think any abuse has taken place, and do appreciate that you are carrying things on.

@exbyde this is unfair. You're going to let @Box of Stardust enter all these airplanes and take over the leaderbord. Tow per person should be the limit.
So lets start off. @Box of Stardust has two aircraft on the roster at the moment. He's running tests with his own leaderboard. Until i update my results to reflect his, they are not official. Perhaps i should quote the Dark Souls mod team here:
You're more than capable of creating an aircraft capable of beating out his. If you take issue with the fact that he has more than two aircraft on the board (my counting skills aren't the greatest, i only dropped out of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University because calculus kicks my butt, but i count two of his craft on the board) then do something about it. Develop your own aircraft. Test. Revise. Succeed.

Maybe we should appoint other, official helpers....
Yeah good luck. Brian and I have both asked for people to participate, the fact that people are now starting to submit dogfights on their own is a god-given miracle. I'll probably be submitting more monday once i catch up on the thread

Just my PoV , but i like when there is a Hardpoints rule ! That prevent users to use too many weapon and make a more 'fair' challenge . In that way PPL work more on the aicraft design than on the among of weapons they can put on it ^^
Quick exemple :
small craft ( Drone ) < 8 Tons = 9 Hardpoints
Jetfighter ( Manned ) 8 tons to 18 tons = 12 Hardpoints
Heavy craft > 18 Tons = 15 Hardpoints
We can Brainstorm for the among of Hardpoints who can be used , Ofc . The more important is that everyone have fun in a fair challenge .
Nice day on Kerbin !
While i appreciate the concern, i would think this is a rule that doesn't have a place here. At this point in the game, most of the people here that make the board have maybe a couple of missiles? Spam hasn't really been a concern since we started using the "under the radar" version of BDAC.

Can tailsitters be tested? Also how do people make drones? Do they have individual AI pilots or just modular missile guidance?
If the aircraft is capable of taking off when placed in pilot mode by bdac then yes.

It beat the viper hands down! So... it should stand a chance against the Brick.
I'm using @goduranuss sidewinder contraption too! And so is @dundun92! It's become a new trend!
@Earthlinger, you've gotta try it!
@MiffedStarfish wanna enter?
Leaderboard needs to be updated @exbyde.
Just trying to keep things orderly. That's all...
We haven't finished testing on PEGAsys so i'm not going to update. I will be running more fights sunday night.

I say no, because of the massive IR signature.
I hadn't even thought of IR. Not to mention the thing would be a tank due to fuel weight.

Welp.
@exbyde I'd like to replace the Basilisk-D5's spot in the queue with this weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
TFDs, Squirrels, PEGASi- it beats all of them.
All it took me was half an hour of building (well, and hours of previously done testing for my other fighters). Someone send a fighter to prove me wrong, because I really, really hate this thing. You can all thank the Du-3 (and to an extent, the yet-to-be-officially-tested X-15 [words]) for this abomination.
Probably the only thing that'll beat this thing is the Cookie. I haven't tested for it, but it's the only battle where the math is much more in favor for the Cookie.
I can do that
6 hours ago, Wolf5698 said:I screwed up real bad and updated my game. I reverted to the previous version but I cannot open any of my crafts. Is there anything I can do?
Also @exbyde is the Jernas missile turret ok for Super fighters?
So, go to notepad++, go to the SPH folder in your save, and open each craft. There's a version line, will probably say 1.4. change it to 1.3.1.
46 minutes ago, Steven Kerman said:Hey, 1.4 has its perks...
Yeah that feature is TOTALLY not getting used here, even after 1.4 gets officially used here XD>.

I run 64 bit
When i run DCK on mine, i notice a lot more frame drops than usual. Its not unplayable, but it devolves things back to the quality of some of the more intense dogfights before my current rig. I'm also not exactly thrilled with the additions of shields and armor for DCK. I know how the armor for BDAc works (see tombstone), but not the armor for DCK

Meanwhile, I’m running DCK on a relatively cheap laptop without trouble.
32 or 64-bit?

I'm not sure. However, your problem may be RAM.
i have 16gb ddr4 2666 so i doubt highly

So, I am going to bring back the DCK issue again. My rig is about half as good as yours, runs 5 other mids, and DCK works fine.
Are you running 32 or 64-bit ksp?

Time to ditch the ECM to save 0.3 tons, none of the leaderboard has a radar missile. And if you can score above the number 4 spot, the ECM equipped crafts below you will keep radar missile entries at bay.
you saw what happened to the rafale vs the f-1, right?
10 minutes ago, goduranus said:Since I can't keep a secret to myself, here's another innovation that could give you an advantage:
Build a dumb fire modular missile with parachute and launch it just outside your plane's IR missile lockon range, and use action groups to make it pump the sky full of flares. Your opponent wouldn't be able to use IR missiles during the initial merge, giving you a brief moment to get on his tail.
do it, would love to see

@exbyde do you mind turning off external camera shake in options? So many parts exploding at once makes the camera go all over the place
Sure once i figure out where that is located

I see a slightly overweight deathfighter here, the slip may be by design

Not the Ripsaw, unfortunately, but.....
I guess you could call it 3.0, but really all I did was add four sidewinder missiles....
noice, i'll give it a shot
2 hours ago, Box of Stardust said:I threw this together in about half an hour. It's a little better, some more steps in the right direction. You can study it and stuff for some pointers.
I tested it against a barely tuned lightweight compact drone of my own (inspired by the Micro Fighter when it was first submitted). Unfortunately for the MF, it seems like I made my 5 ton drone still too vicious for it... and my crudely-tuned Basilisks lol.
@goduranus KSC 8km starts allow the fighters to get to their set default altitude. Not sure how big of a difference that makes, but Viper never had a definitive superiority over the RS either. I usually do a 10km - 14km start if from KSC just for a bit more of fairness, since a lot of Sidewinders are set to be selected from 8km. Not sure how big of a difference that makes either.
Thanks for the tips box.

I finally rebuild from a blank page , my Typhoon got the same issues , it's a Big aircraft & not easy to reach high perfs so i made something more competitif .
He sould be more difficult to shoot & he's a pure gunner . Let's see if he better or not
VG-D34-PG on KerbalX
I keep my typhoon for later ! There is more accurate gun craft & that turn a bit the competition , mention for the Tiger 1 who mastering missile lauch performer ^^
Nice day on Kerbin !
I'll give it a shot. Did you add Chaff or radar jammers on this one?
-
Alright, next up we have @Joseph Kerman's F-1 taking on our #4 roster aircraft, @dundun92's DU-3
Features like Chaff and Radar jammers are a LOT of the reason why you do not see many planes with an AIM-120, despite their total lack of friendly fire incidents.
Alright, final battle for tonight, @Box of Stardust is taking on @Joseph Kerman's F-1 for the #5 spot. How one sided could this be?
Really, really one-sided. 6-0, PEGAsys takes the #5.

@exbyde, can I build a single craft that splits into three crafts? There would still be three BDA trackers, but it's launched as a single craft.
not for the regular category, for super category only.
On 12/29/2017 at 9:43 AM, exbyde said:2b. At no point can more aircraft be present on the tracker in BD Armory than what was originally placed on the runway. I.E. NO SWARMS!

Nice! Looks like you're doing well with the dogfights too. I may need re-download KSP and umpteen billion mods here sooner than later, You know, for old times sake.
