I wanted to make a challenge like the ones from simple planes and i had the idea for a drop challenge
:rules:
No tinker panel, xml or vizzy
Only use wing/fins, fuel tanks/struts and the command pod provided
Your craft must survive a fall from 3,000 and 10,000 meters
I will just load the craft and let it drop I will not lock a heading or do any tampering other than 10x fast forward
I am judging on mobile so make sure the physics still work the same if your on pc
:judging/scoring:
I will be scoring 2 different categories -/5 and -/5 so -/10 total
First category and most important (stability and survivability)
Second and still important (coolness and uniqness)
(Example):
for stability and survivability I give you a 4/5 it was VERY stable and survived 3,000 meters but half of your craft blew up at 10,000 meters
For coolness and uniqness I give you a 3/5 its pretty basic looking but I love the paint job
So you got a 7/10
And finaly

@Staticalliam7 @Insanity @FireBirdAerospace the challenge has concluded and I am happy to announce the winners!!!!!
1st-Insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd-FireBirdAerospace
3rd-Staticalliam7
I will distribute rewards tomorrow (if I don’t, remind me lol)
@geotorum cool, this was a fun little challenge to mess around with, even though i didnt have much time to work on it.
@geotorum this turn out pretty good for you!! Good job 👍
@Insanity I guess you could sure
@geotorum just to change the rotation of a rotator at a certain altitude, no motors or engines or parachutes. I can do it with the input controller too but with vizzy is just easier. I probably dont need the rotator for it to work, but it just makes it more interesting.
My idea was like the cone shaped paper airplane.. but that's really different to do in game
@Tweedle_Aerospace well I don’t want people auto locking because then it will always face up I would like to challenge people to make a craft that isn’t just drag scaled or mass scaled to face up but to try and challenge the physics engine
@geotorum auto lock
@Insanity what would you use it for because I don’t want someone using engines or parachutes
Can i use vizzy?
@geotorum ok, I ended up not using it anyways. Thanks for the quick reply!
@FireBirdAerospace sure I just don’t want people to use some cheaty unbreakable part or something like that
Can I use farings?
@Tweedle_Aerospace lol mine did that too some times
@Staticalliam7 sure you can use a heat shield
The one reached a third of light speed in the atmosphere. Can’t wait to launch from 10,000
@XionmassResearchDevt yes I have 2 save points one at 3,000meters and one at 10,000meters
Finished https://www.simplerockets.com/c/B9CAg1/Challenge-accepted
Are heat shields allowed? @geotorum
Cool
Btw how the hell did you get mine airborne!? You must of have a spot saved to drop from lol
Drag? What's that? Lol.. JK.. yeppers that was my plan as well.. I spent a total maybe 15 minutes on it tho.. gave him a crown 👑 to drop
@Staticalliam7 awesome I can’t wait!
ok I will try
@geotorum
@Staticalliam7 I suppose but you can’t use tinker panel and it must survive a pretty big fall!
