Top Gun AI - The Official Tournament Thread

[GDJ]

Which entry would you like removed? I said earlier 2 entries per person so do you want the First plane or the second to be removed?

- - - Updated - - -

The other plane will be on a waiting list if no one else joins. I would recommend removing your first plane.

The first one removed will be fine. IT was a bloated warthog anyways.

[Alphasus]

Just removed it.

Presenting my submission, formerly Provisional Unit 5​, now known only as the Little Buster.

Load-out:

AIM-120 x 4 (16 points)

chaff x 3 (6 points)

flares x 5 (15 points)

ammo x 2 (8 points)

Vulcan hidden x 2 (14 points)

= 59 points

She's a pugnacious interceptor who enjoys supersonic flybys on the beach, the smell of Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine, and the monotone hum of a radar-lock.

[Slam_Jones]

Fixed the Spatha 1-A, which now has the proper number of flares. Total points remain at 59. Original post here.

Hey all first timer using BDA mod and participate this. This looks fun and i hope to capture some good data!

Modified Uboros AuroOne to BDA spec, a little too big but why not:

2x turrets (16 pts)

2x ammo cans (8 pts)

2x flares (6 pts)

3x chaffs (6 pts)

6x AIM-120 missiles (24 pts)

= 60pts

Wrong info, updated craft

[dangerouspeople1]

I tested with 2 Heatwaves vs 2 GoldeHawks, 3 rounds, 2.1 km between Heatwaves and GoldenHawks

1 st round, only one Heatwave survived, GoldenHawks all dead

2nd round, both Heatwaves were dead, one of the GoldenHawks was shot down and another one rammed the Heatwave, it wasn't damaged but the Heatwave disintegrated

3rd round, Same as 1 st round, but the capsule of one GoldenHawk survived.

Also, I always feel like the craft that I focus on will always win, probably just my brain messing with my feelings though.

Note: The first time I tested it, it lagged so bad that I needed to reopen my KSP after a missile hit a GoldeHawk.

[dangerouspeople1]

Yeah! Finally, will you record the fight?

[Alphasus]

Yep, it is up.

Also, 0 for not flying, 1 for flying.

Yay, it was in 720p.

The second fight, the Little Buster vs the CK260.

Edited August 16, 2015 by Alphasus

[Alphasus]

Ok, the third video just disappeared... I will redo it later.

[dangerouspeople1]

The next match will be MIT-1 vs Gladius, let's see who will be better

[Alphasus]

I need to rerecord round 3. The video disappeared.

[dangerouspeople1]

That's the worst thing ever, finding your video disappeared. Especially for a YouTuber

[Alphasus]

I'll redo it now. You will see it soon.

EDIT: Video will be up by 9:30 East Coast Time.

Edited August 16, 2015 by Alphasus

[Alphasus]

Of course, that would be too simple. Failed upload again. Not even going to record that one until later. But, the CK-260 won. Let's see who is next.

EDIT: Round 3 here. I cut it slightly because it was too long for youtube to use. Nothing was lost, but the Peregrine won at the end because the CK-260 hit the ground. So, the CK-260 Advances.

- - - Updated - - -

So, the overview of this round. I saw an upset this round, most notable in the loss of the FA-27. The clean defeats this round included the Little Buster vs the CK-260a(I typoed, the ck-260 was supposed to fight the peregrine and the Ck-107 the little buster. This is a typo in the tournament only.)

- - - Updated - - -

The MIT-1 did win the middle round when the gladius ran out of fuel. This wasn't documented because it put the video over 15 minutes. I am working on getting videos longer than 15 minutes, which should be done by tomorrow when round 5-8 are recorded.

[dangerouspeople1]

Probably should've make it more tougher, oh well that kind of wings are never as tough as one part wings

[Alphasus]

Well, that dive at the end was very odd. It isn't normal.

[dangerouspeople1]

I thing if you try to do the thumbnail, you can see something like verifying your account, I think that allows you to upload more than 15min and have thumbnail

[Alphasus]

Yes, but my account is already verified. I already verified it so, i dont know why i cant upload more than 5 minutes.

[GDJ]

Well done winners and great effort on the other planes part.

Looking forward to more vids. Appreciate the hard work Alphasus!

[Alphasus]

My predictions for next round: FA-33 wins against the ck232. Stormwind beats the heatwave, Spatha and cf86 nearly tie, but the Spatha wins by one point. The typhoeus beats the ubioX but it is a close victory. Any other predictions?

[dangerouspeople1]

Your predictions are so detailed that it feels like you're from the future. Anyway I hope those matches won't end up with airplane collision

[colmo]

I'm looking at ways to space the planes apart as much as possible. This format, with parallel takeoffs, means the merge happens as soon as they bank, greatly advanteous to some designs, disadvantageous to others (e.g. my missile boat never had a chance, being designed to operate at greater initial range, usually with back-to-back launches.)

Check out my discussion thread to see how we can use radar to do this. I'm thinking two launch sites 10-12km apart, with a launch site in the middle (using dummy rockets with weapon managers) to kick things off.

What's the issue with YouTube, do they not allow uploads beyond a certain lenght unless you're a bigger channel?

I had 3 subs and 399 view yet I could upload a 35 min video a year ago

[Slam_Jones]

Huzzah! The first victory for SlamTek! Well done to all involved
