Does the maneuverability of a entry have to be limited to a certain degree of realism?

Flying backwards and upside down is just fine.

All flying styles are permitted. Just no SAS.

[The Optimist]

Is there a reason why the Guppy and my plane refuse to fight each other? They're on different teams, and I set up a competition for them.

EDIT: nvm, I found out why

So does your nan

I've tested out my plane design, the SY-51 Ancient, and have recorded it.

For some weird reason Youtube decided that in-sync audio was too much and screwed with the audio. Luckily I negated the issue with some music, but it's still noticeable. Either way, here it is for you to see.

to fix AI issue with prop and gun, I've updated the Pretender to the Throne, now the Guppy Mk. 3. https://kerbalx.com/inigma/Guppy-Mk-3

have you tested your entry against one of the ASC III Kings of the Hill?

[SuicidalInsanity]

A beautiful start to ASC-III.

For future matches, one thing that would be worth considering is switching the vessel type of one team to stations. It would take a little longer for the initial setup, but would effectively give craft colored team indicators, which would be nice to have when following the action once battle is joined and the furball begins.

Nice match! Regarding the switching to stations? How that works exactly? I'd like to test it

Yes, I have tested it against the Guppy and a few other entries.

Can I have 3 different craft? I want 2 of one type and one of each of the two other craft

[GDJ]

Quick question: Is the tournament OK with monoplanes based on the .625m parts?

I may have a wicked little plane that may work well here.

[Draconiator]

Hmmm, if it complies with the rules, I don't see why not, GDJ.

 

Oh, and Suicidal, I'm setting up the next battle and I LOVE what you did for your cockpit.  never would have thought of doing that.....time to dive into the astronaut complex too...running out of Kerbals haha

In all my tests, none of my kerbals have ever been killed by a crash. I attribute this to the StronkTM Cockpit design.

[Jake_gg]

Whenever I try to make the guppy and my plane fight. My plane will fire its guns once and then just give up. It spends the rest of the fight running from the guppy until it gets shot down. Any suggestions?

[Draconiator]

I'm having the same problem with this battle I am TrYING to set up.  My planes won't fire...the other ones fire normally though.  I'll figure it out later.

Right click on the command seat (or any other command part)  and click the 'rename vessel' button. It'll bring up a dialogue window where you can type in a new name, below the name entry field there's a row of buttons that you can select to set what type of vessel the craft is.
