Submit your vehicles here ✅
Post link of your vehicle on the workshop here. I will evaluate it according to rules and place it in the list of aircraft chart, table of records and the collection if it is correctly follow the rules. Otherwise I will tell you where it fails to follow the rules for fixing.

Example of submitting a vehicle based on rules:
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2961182087
1. Single crew is sufficient for both Airliner and Record breaking categories because of its endurance, range, engine count, passenger count. It also has 2 seats for passengers while having single engine to be valid for Airliner category.
2. Weight blocks added for;
- Engine (2-cylinder): 20
- Radiator (3x3): 9
- Crew and passengers (3): 30
- Fuel (156L in prefab): 12
TOTAL: 71
3. Settings for cruise;
- Throttle at 1.0
- Propeller at 0.6
- Air-to-fuel at 13.0
Altitude hold is available for level flight.
(Using trim to make vertical speed zero is also ok.)

Thanks for participating. It follows the rules correctly and so it is valid. Since endurance is under 120 minutes, it can be considered as 1 crew + 10 passengers instead of 2 crew + 9 passengers unless you are against it?

For the record I added ZE Fuel Consumption Calculator to measure range and endurance, also added 1 missing weight block but these didn't affect speed or range. So, no problem here. Actually I measured slightly higer range.

I did slightly reduce the range number, to allow for missed approaches and the like. Better safe than sorry!
I will update the aircraft with the extra weight.

DH Fox moth look-alike, hopefully with the correct amount of weight blocks this time!

Nice!
It misses 10 weight blocks (126) but I'll add them and test now.

(You can re-submit if you want to configure other things such as RPS..etc)

In description, I couldn't find throttle setting for cruise and when I reduce it to 0.7 to meet your endurance of 225 minutes, it began to lose altitude probably because of increased weight.

I'd suggest increasing the throttle at least to keep it fly level for cruise.

Updated both the Aircraft (added 100kg) and re-did speed and fuel consumption calculations, this time with the microprocessor. Cruise throttle for the finch has been updated to now 75%, also.

Added to the collection, well done!

For the twin airliner category:

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963402118
Thanks for participating. It is quite a heavy one and beautiful! :)

It flies very well, stabilizer and range/endurance instruments are very helpful. But it misses few weight blocks:
fuel: 139
engine: 60
radiator: 18
crew + pax: 140
total: 357

Also in its current configuration required crew is 3, because:
- Endurance greater than 120 minutes (as copilot)
- Passengers more than 10 (as steward)

So, it can be considered as 3 crew + 11 passenger airliner.

OR

Increase its cruise speed to decrease endurance to 120 minutes, so it will require 2 crew for 12 passengers. Speed is more important when calculating Airliner Value. Range would reduce of course but not that much.

Thanks for your kind words :)

I have updated now. She has 345 weight blocks - however there are also 24 "door panel straight" blocks, used for decoration. These are 5kg each so the 24 door blocks are weight equivilent to 12 weight blocks, and of course 345+12=357. If this is not acceptable I will remove the door blocks and replace.

She will have to remain as 3 crew + 11 passengers as I've done everything I can think of to get every ounce of power from the engines. She's already heavy, so If I add more weight to reduce the endurance she won't lift off!!

Alright, I'll test it right now. Btw, I did thought of reducing endurance by increasing RPS, thus fuel consumption.

Dreimor Aeronautical Type 2-1 is added to the collection, aircraft list chart and record table. Currently it holds the highest passenger capacity.

Welcome and thanks for participating!

I found right side of the horizontal tail drag glitched, but adding 1x1 wedge (hidden in xml-streched cube) to connect it fixed the problem.

Fuel in prefab tank is shown as 87 L in fuel gauge but there is 97.5 L fuel in the vehicle, some of it moves to pipes between the tank and engine. So, weight blocks for fuel is increased +1.

After these two modifications, I measured top speed in level flight as 244 Km/h.

Beautiful design and good flight characteristics, it may be better to add some vertical fins on tail.

I am now adding it to the collection. :steamhappy:
