[ASC-III] Air Superiority Challenge - King of the Hill (BDArmory 4v4 AI Duels: WW1 Theme) - Now Concluded!

[NotAnAimbot]

Guess I might as well do the entries with non-broken links.

Have the CRAS-2

 

 fixed F-2 link

 

For both, 1 is bound to activate the autopilot, ECM and toggle guard mode. Engines need to be started manually.

THis is getting popular fast. Didn't think it ever would heh. I might need to ask for a secondary match host volunteer. Need to be able to run KSP 1.0.5, and upload matches to YouTube or a Twitch stream channel.

Y'know, I trust you enough that I'd be fine if you didn't record the match for my airplane. A picture showing a destroyed loser would suffice for me 

And don't push yourself such that you burnout. I'd much rather have you slowly determine every match, rather than getting too tired to do any after a period of time!

no worries. matches are easy to setup and record. takes about 30 mins overall. but i might not be as active starting next week, and my OP states one match per week.   Even if I burnout, I will still update OP with results, or pass it to the next ASC host. The OP allows for anyone to run a match if I don't host the next slated match within 7 days of the previous one.

[NotAnAimbot]

Just a small detail @inigma, but the XF-4 is mentionned twice in the OP, while it's supposed to be the F-2 with the CRAS-2 for my entry.

Can you re-post your links in the format you want them to appear in the OP for me?

[jrodriguez]

I have reading the thread I'm going to start to design my fighter right now!

Also @inigma maybe I can help you recording the videos but I will need instructions about how do you want  them exactly because you are quite good with Camera Tools  

 

[Redshift OTF]

I am happy to record some matches after you have done a Stealth Weasel video match. I will probably film each round separately and stick them together so we don't have to worry about glitched rounds causing a forfeit, (which would be a bad way of winning).

Ooh! This looks cool..... *tinkering, building and breaking sounds intensify*

I started a new save file and recreated the fighter in 1.0.5. Hopefully this works. Sorry for the confusion. I look forward to kicking you off the hill @inigma 

X-38F Interceptor

 

Intense.

 

 

[Jakerblam22]

May I ask, how long is the available runway to take off from?

The king is dead! Long live the king! (Until someone dethrones Guggy, that is. :P)

Wow, Fighter Papa has been de-throned! I thought it might go on for a while...

My testing revealed it was either him or you.  I look forward to your duel with Guggy's fighter next vid.

NotAnAimbot: XF-4 CRAS-2 & F-2C Sea Predator for @inigma

Just press 1 to turn on ECM, and let the magic happen. Note that 1 also turns on autopilot and toggles guard mode, so you could rebind it if you want to. the ECM is inside the tail for the XF-4 and behind the tail for the F-2C, you might have to clip into the CRAS to find it.

Excellent fight @inigma!!! Quite intense!

Updated the Wyvern the link remains the same however.

I made a fighter, hopefully it wins

[drtricky]

@inigma Hey, in round 2 of your most recent match, one of guggy's fighters appears to have exploded for no reason at all at around the 1:23 mark. Does an unexplained break-up count as a defeat?

Edited April 8, 2016 by drtricky

[Redshift OTF]

Maybe it turned while going too fast and the aerodynamic forces destroyed it?

Exactly what I was thinking. Does that still count towards a loss? Because personally, my fighters sometimes break up as a result of aerodynamic failure, due to the fact that a low framerate seems to exacerbate KSP's physics. When I run less laggy 1v1 matches, my fighter never experiences aerodynamic failure.

@inigma Welp, I've updated my fighter again in response to some 2v2 island testing versus the new champions. There are only two small changes to the flight AI's settings

Funny thing happened while testing the new champions: They decided to engage in a passionate lovemaking session while taking off...

Hmmm, I'm getting planes spontaneously exploding when testing 2v2 matches. Never happens with 1v1 which I normally test with so I hadn't noticed it before. Might be a physics glitch when the system slows down with extra craft.

Lol @drtricky

Actually planes exploding might be due to the physics distance being the same as the Tourney distance. When the match starts the planes might be moving between the physics barrier cause some parts of the planes to collide with each other particularly when turning, (which they usually do when the flight starts), and that causes an explosion. I might up the physics distance to 10000m, 2000m over the tourney distance which is 8000m and see if this helps.

Edit: My internet derped, didn't see my previous post.

Hahaha they just wanted to combine forces and fight as one

But seriously. Did they survive that? Because this is one of the best manoeuvres I've ever seen. Not that it has any place in a dogfight.

[Redshift OTF]

Obviously they were trying to combine into Superion.
