Personally, if I complain about something, I make sure I'm not guilty of the exact same thing Obviously he didn't do the same thing since he hadn't made his entry yet The race doesn't start till january yet your calling someone out for what was used for his practice track? So essentially your calling me out too since, for the fun of it (and explosions), I placed targets for my Mad Moose to shoot at during my practice runs ... am I calling the kettle black as well?

I was going to place targets along the way for the Mad Moose to shoot at as a test for the BDAc weapon managers acurracy at speed But since there is so much contention and saltyness, I have decided against it so as to not have to read the complaints or have those who wish to impose their version of the rules on this challenge impose their will upon myself And on that note ......... @SpannerMonkey(smce) had a very valid point, that being, in the Dakar rulebook, you are not allowed to place markers along your route ... and to see him jumped on for saying such an abhorrent thing, he must be the most evil person in here Disclaimer ...... the above statement is seething with sarcasm (for those who are unaware) Edited December 27, 2016 by DoctorDavinci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenKerbalnaut Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) A good bit of grief going on here. It would be great if there were infinite clarity on all possible rulings before you found the thread, but we joined a WIP rally project. It's safe to say that Triop probably didn't expect this level of response, and so Ive been fine with the wrinkles. You don't have to be, but then you are kinda not being fair with your expectations. As long as Triop is still answering, I'm still racing. And if he loses his cool over it, or says something hypocritical, or forgets something he ruled on back on page 2, whatever. It can be easy to forget that the letters were typed by a person. I'll be there on Jan 1st with Kerbal butts in seats. EDIT: wether he excepts my entry or not Edited December 27, 2016 by DrunkenKerbalnaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triop Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hovercrafts, tanks, flying flags, foodstands, shooting mooses... In my mind this challenge would be so simple: build a car, race from flag to next flag making screenshots, repeat 6x. 6 minutes ago, DrunkenKerbalnaut said: A good bit of grief going on here.

EDIT: wether he excepts my entry or not I'm still cool You are right, I didn't expect this level of response. In fact, it started out as a mission idea as the title still says. It's just the things some people come up with, it amazes me. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. I guess the most important thing is that we have fun and not being bored during the holidays.

Turned out to be an extremely good idea, it's a very long time since I've actually spent this much time actually playing ksp rather than playing to test new mods etc, it's very cool, those asking for updates will be disappointed, but I'm used to being a disappointment, and besides did i mention it's a hell of a lot of fun? cheers Ps downloaded new track elevated flag problem fixed Spoiler and although not wishing or going to continue discussion on the matter , the below is the track i will race, as supplied in Triops download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenKerbalnaut Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) YouTube is a job for him, at this point. That's why he plays so little of the game he says he likes the most (shenzen I/O (sp?) ). He's doing what gets the most views. He has become a bit salty, as of late. His live streams show it well. Too bad, he does a good job with production, and his education-themed episodes. EDIT: he's the only KSP 'Tuber I don't mute immediately. Nice to hear him wax about real-life applications, and such.

And of course a nice little number for my truck. The red and orange bar's are where the sponsors usually go. But, since we don't have any fitting sponsors, i just colored them according to my logo (also my profile-pick) and left them blank. What mod do you use to put that on the car?

foamyesque Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 This looks real interesting. I have a couple of questions that I suspect may have already been asked (sorry if so, but this thread's quite long and hard to find stuff): 1. Do the marked paths need to be followed exactly, or are detours acceptable (e.g. going around a cliff instead of over it)? 2. This is presumably a ground-nav challenge. How much airtime is acceptable (i.e. if launched off a hilltop)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
