Fly multiple planes at once


Recommended Posts

How many planes can you fly at once and safely land them somewhere few km away?

and how close can you fly them.

Rules:

1. No gravity hack

2. No mechjeb

3. Just stock parts

4. No cheats at all

5. part clipping allowed.

post pictures or videos. videos would be awesome.

pictures of fails and crashes also well accepted :)

my first try with two planes went well.

Hmmm... my F-35s are easy to control :) I think I could make 4 of them fly (for example to Island base) the only problem would be with landing ;)

yeah, they are super ! love your designs! keep up the GREAT work :D

Do the challenge and post the results if you have time :) cheers.

How do you switch in mid air? Won't it say "cannot switch vessls under acceleration" or something?

i thought so too. but surprisingly it does not. you can switch as long as the distance is under 2 km between the vessels i think.

Hahah :) I brought 4 to the island and 2 crashed ;d I'll try again ;)

if my planes didn't disappear after a certain distance I could totally control two at once

That is a challange ;D to not make them dissappear and controll them ;d

Here's my challenge:

It was my 3rd try ;) (2 firsts ended with 2 crashes at runway on island)

As you see I don't have much problem with landing. I was just too stupid to land on top of tower ;)

I can try again and land them all. Bigger number of planes is problem not because it's hard to control, but because my PC would melt ;d

Jebediah Kerman is so badass he tries to land on the tower

Wow, that has to be pretty tedious, trying to keep them all on a good flight.

I must ask, where did you get those colored parts?

Man please how do you spawn planes

 

Spawn one from Runway, move it off the runway onto the grass nearby.  Go back and spawn another one, move it also off the runway.  Rinse and repeat as needed.

-----

I use tons of mods otherwise I'd give it a shot.  Here's what my tactic would have been:

- Make a simple, slow, easy-to-glide plane.  Simple enough that I can put the throttle to full and it will automatically take off and level out, which will not go faster than perhaps 50m/s.  Slower is better.

- Make sure each has a parachute or two attached, enough for a safe landing.

- Line up 3, 4, 5, or however many I can manage on the grass beside the runway.

- Fly them in formation, then cut the engines off, one after another, just before/above the island, and deploy parachutes.

- Watch as they gracefully land next to each other.

- Profit!!!
