Damm. Not sure what to change.

I assume it's too late for me to add a bit of fuel? Lol

You got my updated craft right?

Okay the craft I gave you for some reason isn't updated... let's try this once more. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cp0yi60quj0q0ne/F-42%20Blizzard%20Updated.craft?dl=0

Also, my AI computer and BDarmory piece thing are inside the fuselage, right infront of the tail, if you needed it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wtnqmjfwb1bakju/F-42%20Blizzard.craft?dl=0 Final version.

I still have a few changes I need to make to the Blizzard. If you get to me before I give you an updated craft file, can you move me back a bit?

My plane is pretty light, but... hm. - - - Updated - - - I'd like to also enter my F-42 "Blizzard" https://www.dropbox.com/s/wtnqmjfwb1bakju/F-42%20Blizzard.craft?dl=0 I tried flying it under the bridge at a really low speed. 57 points. Edit, nevermind. I have a few changes I need to make tomorrow morning. Also, what do you guys recommend for AI settings?

Thanks. - - - Updated - - - I'm modelling my plane after the Eurofighter, and the Rafale, and I really like your wing set up, but I don't want to use it, because our planes already look really similar... Edit; Changed it up a bit. My plane is quite nice I'll say... Also, AIM-120 or AIM-9?

Thanks. Also, can I have the craft file for your plane? I want to test mine against it.

I just started making a plane; points?

I'm not home, but I flew your plane a bit but wasn't able to change anything. Try making the horizontal stabilizers small structural wings with control surfaces, rather than the winglet.

Ah I see. Thanks.

Also, does the propeller spin for you? It doesn't spin for me. The engine still works, it just doesn't spin.

What's the special challenge pack for the required mods? You didn't provide a link.

The what?

Yeah give me the .craft. Are you using the any of the optional mods?

Guys, I completely missed the tournament because I was away, and I prefer jets over WW2 planes, because I feel the need, the need for speed. But really, when do you guys think the next jet tournament will be?

Are you using the optional mods for the plane?

Set the pitch to about 80%-90& and the control deflection to 12-14. I had the same problem over on the 5th gen fighter challenge and they had me set the pitch to 90% and the deflection to 12. That worked.

The He-51 is about 2 tons loaded. So yeah, your plane is a bit heavy. - - - Updated - - - That's the only option. The problem is that planes have a maximum angle of attack. If you don't know, the angle of attack is the angle at which your wing is hitting the airflow. If you have a 20 degree maximum angle of attack, that means if your wing is angled 20 degrees from the direction you are actually moving, you will enter a stall. You need to reduce control authority so your plane doesn't stall during turns. That's why modern aircraft have AoA limiters.

Did my recommendation I made in the other thread not work? If your plane is bouncing it means it's reaching maximum AoA during turns, and stalling.

You're stalling. Reduce elevator angle to about 12-14, and make the ailerons act only as ailerons, not elevators.

How do I change orientation though? In the tournament videos the planes are perfectly aligned.

Guys how do you set up one of these fights with Hyperedit, and how do I get them to go all at the same time? I want to test my plane against some people's here, but I was gone for a week while this was happening and I don't want to sort through 23 pages to find it...

Can anyone give me other tips on making my plane more maneuverable, and structurally stable? .craft if anyone missed it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bzk92c6vz0z02kx/pls%20dont%20die.craft?dl=0
