cantab Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 IMHO rule 9 could be removed on the grounds "FAR means add nosecones" is an obvious and easy thing to do.Anyway, unfortunately I've only ever done planes seriously in FAR. If you were open to rocket entries I could probably come up with something.Actually, maybe you could make this real life design work in FAR? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1907_flying_machine.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flixxbeatz Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Stock, non-FAR.Will this count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetryds Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 These submissions look awesome, I have my last test tomorrow then I can work on all of them.@5thHorseman: Not using DRE here, so that would not be an issue.I would just need a way to trim some stuff.@regex: FAR handles the wing interactions quite nicely, which is painful.I won't cover those nodes, there is no fun in doing that.@Tw1: It's too cool to be left aside, it's in.@cantab: The thing is that I don't want to add the nosecones.No wings small enough to make a replica, and I won't build a craft from zero, but it would be great if you built an oversized version of it.@Flixxbeatz: Why not? Just make sure it's a KSP 0.90 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwhip Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Don't forget about me! Hey, sure, if you want to!Note: There's cargo in the bays, you can get rid of it.http://www./download/84qswndcj8hb73y/Starstreaker_III.craft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I guess my plane is too baller for tetryds, he's pretending it isn't there, maybe I should have broken one of his rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetryds Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I am not ignoring anyone, I am sorry, but I studied all day (and will do it for the rest of the night) for my last test tomorrow as I said up there.Thus I only had time for one craft today during my dinner break...Not showing it yet.

Slam_Jones Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I had a design I wanted to submit, but I noticed your rules explicitly state "No VTOLs".I wanted to know:1. Is a plane that is V/HTOL acceptable?2. Is it too difficult/impossible to do VTOLs in FAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a plane that is V/HTOL acceptable?2. Is it too difficult/impossible to do VTOLs in FAR?http://i.imgur.com/ulZhyes.jpgBut your plane looks fine, this is meant for planes which should not work If it can take off horizontally but still has an engine pointing up there is no problem on that, as long as you don't abuse part clipping.I see that apparently some people want their stock design to simply work on FAR, I did not guess that would be a thing before...This gave me an idea, but not for now.Working on some planes sal_vager, what the hell.

Apparently not too much I'll try to make an, uh, interesting plane for you to work with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetryds Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Finished crafts:far_from_flyable - NemravFarFromLikely - RedIronCrownSomethingYawful - RedIronCrown (test bonus, not official)Starstreaker III - StarwhipStupid is as stupid does - regexTo be done:Boatatron - TW1Ham Sandwich - sal_vager (finished, but rebuilding to avoid a symmetry over symmetry bug)If your craft is not on the list please point to it.You have the rest of the day to submit your crafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 tetryds mentioned my entry and I realized I forgot to link it here:FarFromLikely craft filePic in stable flight (flies nicely in stock, I landed it on the first attempt with nearly all fuel aboard but no oxidizer):Bonus craft from when we were talking about the open node rule (this entry violates rule 9):SomethingYawful craft filePic in stable flight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemrav Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Oh boys, the intensity.... Can I maintain my high rating ? Will some people come out of nowhere...Somehow I'm guessing far_from_flyable and ham_sandwich will finish NEAR the bottom, as mine already flew in FAR and Vager's looked sound.. Then From the looks of it Far_from_Likely and stupid will compete at the top.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was a time limit. I'll (obviously) have to bow out. FAR too busy to do this in the next couple hours.I'll probably still try it myself. Always wanted to.

tetryds Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Something very unexpected happened with what I was planning for the release of the crafts.So, what do you guys rather, have it earlier but boring, or wait for the cool way?

Superfluous J Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'd rather wait, but if it's a ton of work and you've got the simple to display that's cool too.One option: Dole them out as you get them complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetryds Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Ok so, long story short yesterday night my computer went kaput (that was after the previous issue).I have no idea how long it will take to get fixed/if it will get fixed at all.I have everything saved on my dropbox, and could share it right now, but I don't have pics nor anything.I managed to fly, and land, all of the planes, but some of them require special ninjaskills to get off the ground or even turn.So, if you think you are good enough to get these bathtubs airborne and take some pictures please pm me and I will give you all of them, you give me the pics and I post the results, with credits You also get a super secret special prize I am thinking about.But, as I said, it's not like it will be easy, so please don't ask for them if you have any doubts about your piloting prowess.
