Looks pretty cool!

Sorry, but the file you posted won't work across the internet... just on your computer. Try uploading it to Google Sketchup Warehouse or whatever that place's name is, then give as the link.

 

EDIT: Wow that was fast... you could still try google warehouse, I don't think there's a limit on downloads.

I did. Rapidshare is what i did. go check it out.

nice, simple, but maybe decrease the amount of the landing gear?

 

around to 6 wheels maybe?

 

 

 

Yea... maybe... Its the V1 version though, I'll improve it later! It's kinda like a beta version.

 

Yea i should do that... time for more edits

Or alpha :P

It looks good but could you add the buggy or something to compare the size to?  Nice job, definitely one of the better ones.

No, it's just a cute design.

 

 

The link was broken due to a typo.

 

The real link is here:

 

If I didn't know any better, I would think that you was being mean to a newbie, Flynn.

 

Such short and harsh comments are not your usual style.

 

 

Ooooohhh... thanks man must have messed it up.

......grnesss

What Ren?

Hey, not bad, not bad at all! Woo, I almost questioned if it was Sketchup. The design is very fun and clean - I really like it.

Thanks alot man! :D I dont want to leave sketchup... I got cinema 4D... moving on to that. Anyway, I'm REALLY pushing to get this into Mars Explorer! Ive always wanted to have something in there.

 

-GTR34

UPDATE::: I want this vehicle to have a thrust that reaches about 100mph and then its physically limited.

We don't want to be flying around with our hair on fire at 400 mph! So its like a buggy, without the glider drawbacks. No power loops, no up and downs, and no stalling. Just lots of power (until 100mph, then You're about done lol). So tell me what you think about the speed limiter, and I thought about an optional boost key like the CRTL key or something. If this is accepted into mars, its gonna be lots of fun! So think about this Aubrey! I really want my very own work in mars explorer.

well, when you said that you were a great modeler, i really didnt all believe you that much.....now i see that you were right. this crushes my designs, and i think they rock! 

;] thanks lots man. Thats what 2+ years on sketchup does. Oh and dont forget to suggest features on my new design, all. I want it to be "the people's vehicle" :D

It looks cool. I like the idea of the retracting wings though. The basic design is what I like, but if you add some looks like yours to the vehicle, it might look nicer.  I wouldn't recommend 6 wheels.

It is really good!!! very cool!

that looks awesome!

I like the fact that you made it small, small as a buggy. I like the basic design but it's just a bit 'off'. Keep it up.

that buggy looks awfully familiar.  As I recall, there is one in the google warehouse, created by the gmail knightrider82transam, with a five star rating so far.  Ring any bells?  lol  Anyway, the jet looks great.  The cockpit is just a bit too long though, try shortening it along the body.

Well, killer, I have yet another trick up my sleeve. I have an idea of this:

 

big electromagnetic pads underneath that make it float in air.

 

like a hovercraft.

 

What do ya think?

I said in my description that its NOT MINE. I said i got it off 3D warehouse to do size comparisons. I made the wheels farther apart to make it look more like a buggy. So ya, its not mine . I'm not taking credit for it.

Because that would be evil. lol.

my suggestion is...well the only thing i can think of is..... see how the cockpit has a sudden drop in it? try to connect the top part of that with the bottom to improve aerodynamics. other wise, i find nothing else to critique.

Hi GTR34

your jet is pretty nice, but I think it looks more like a cargo lifter than an actual fighter jet.

The pilot would definitely have a hard time trying to tag targets due to the very restricted vision from the cockpit, both due to the placement of vertical stabilizers and the very massive wings and horizontal stabilizers.

 

Sincerely,

 

- MacDane

 

p.s. My own models for Mars Explorer are here

 

 

 

Yea, I can fix that in version V2.1

Macdane, I have an idea. Why not have a laser bubble turret on the rear wing? That way you are up above and out of the cockpit. tell me what you think, because i want the jet to be buggy sized and its hard to make it fly if i decrease the wing area a lot. I can try though.

Hey guys, Tell me what you think of clear wing surfaces for better targeting. 

OHHH MYYY GAWWWD!

 

That's the cutest little jet I've ever seen in my life!!!

 

:DDD

 

It also looks like it wouldn't go too fast x]

 

Love it and love you!

Thanks ;]. Marsjet ver2.1 is coming up soon. I redesigned it. Its black, it lost some fat, and increased visibility. I also made it look a bit faster. Pics coming soon! 

 

PLEASE VOTE PLEASE:

 

Who would like:

 

regular six rover wheels

 

OR

 

One long tank tread on each side.

 

PLS TELL ME WHAT U GUYS WANT!!!

Ahhh, for the record, I would like six WHEELS instead of tank tracks. And I would prefer four wheels to six, but that's just my opinion. As for the design... a little boxy, I hope your new design loses fat like you say it will. It just looks like it wouldn't be able to crack 90 mph. But other than that, I love it! Your idea is quite original (gosh, I sound like one of those big-shot critics), and if your significantly slim it down, it very well could make it to mars! Keep up the good work!

Thanks tigerstorm. I think i'll go with six wheels, because four is too close to a buggy. And it will look goofy.

Yea I put it on a diet and painted it black, with some new styling and better visibility. Hope diet boy gets to mars xD.

Would the controls be the same as flying in a buggy, exept you could fly up?

Yes, virtually the same, except spacebar or something would be thrust.

A thrust couldn't be left on indefinitly, maybe no spacebar function, seeing as it flys really well.

I'm still working out all the crap. its a jet, Its gotta have thrust, bud. I would have to take the air intakes out and the thruster at the back.

I don't mean to be rude, but again, a thrust would encourage noobs to just hold space down and zoom away as soon as they get quarry. It's the same reason a space function couldn't be put on the hovercraft.

you need thrust to push the jet.

I know, but not a space function that would make you go faster, read about the space function as a boost here:http://marsxplr.com/view-511

 

Mainly the very end.

It is still way to boxy for my liking, but that is just my personal opinion. :O)

An energy bar would be great, so that people dont run off with the quarry.

Did you read that thread? Really the part after that post?

There have been many suggestions for a speed boost.  It isn't a good idea most people think. Just make the setting for the buggy really fast.

Well, theres too much to go through for a jet. Anyone want it to be a glider?

This is the BEST jet model I've seen so far, hope this one is implemented.

I dunno about the glider, that's kinda what the buggy does when "flying"

So do you think we should push for a jet? I know the buggy does it, but we dont want to turn mars explorer into a flight simulator! lol. We should think of an Idea to get this thing to work. We need some help all!

Thanks for the jet comment :D

Guys, its monday. Everyone go on mars explorer and there should be a server test game there. It seems to be up. We need to go now though!!!!

Hey Guys,

Tell me what you think about this:

 

electromagnetic pads keep the jet floating in land mode. So its a hovercraft that turns into a jet.

 

If you still want the wheels, tell me and I'll redesign the whole underside. (not looking forward to that)

 

But still, whatever you want people.

 

MarsJet version 2.2 is coming out, but i need to know if you want the hover or wheels option.

Please let me know!

-GTR34

i think it looks better, but i did like the rear stabilizers connected in the middle look.  I like the wheels, another hovercraft would be horrible in terms of control.

um, why not have the wing deployment be like the buggy instead of automatic? that can be the spacebar function!

(just idea)

Great idea on electromagnetic pads under the vehicle!

 

As mars' redness comes from iron, the magnet would be able to push away if you face negative side to negative side! 

Nice jet but can't comment with wheels that probably would weigh more than jet :P

Thats what i intended to do the whole time, like the buggy wings, malcon

So far its looking like the people want wheels. Lets see what happens, I will leave the argument up for more voters.

I think it should have no wheels. And it looks to me like your intention is to make the wings come out only when in the air, well i think it should always be in the air so wings are always out. Plus the no winged version looks really bad :P

Besides all that, not that you make the final decision because Aubrey colors it anyway, it should be in some shade of red or purple to match the existing vehicles. Good job. 

Hmm... thanks man... so you think it should have no wheels? and wings always out? I dunno, I mean you gotta land sometime xD. I'm currently working on a new wheeled version, I'll post and see how you like it.

 

-GTR34

The thing is, it's meant to be a jet. That is great at flying but sucks at driving, if it is able to at all. Who says it has to land anyway? 

I have an idea!!! Tell me if you like this everyone:

 

I will have the wings fixed, so its gonna be a plane, nothing else.

Instead of having the spacebar as wing retracts, I will have it as the thrust key.

I may put a meter on the thrust power so the noobs dont go flying off with the quarry.

(Like someone else suggested)

 

And when you get close to ground, the big electromagnetic pads on the bottom of the aircraft will act as landing gear. 

 

What do you guys think? Or should I stay with the rover wheels?

 

Or maybe should I lose the wings?

 

-GTR34

Dont loose the wings! I personally dont like the landing gear but...

The gear can be changed, Think of what it could look like with my new designed gears. It DOES NOT look like the pic. the pic is ver2.1 and im doing ver2.2 now.

Between the two, jet, but im fine with neither.

I dont know guys. Should we stick with this design? I tried to get the best of both worlds between a rover and a jet.

Why do we need a rover?

what rover? you mean the buggy?

Exactly, and no i do not. We already have a buggy, we dont need a rover.

NO. I mean the suspension on this plane looks alot like a rover, flyingmonkey. So i was wondering If you guys wanted it to be a rover.

oh, we should  have a jet we already have a buggy

Noo.

Guys, I am pleased to day ver2.2 is ready for action.

 

I have done the electromagnetic pads on the bottom so it will hover if you crash.

It won't kill you.

I think the speed should be limited to 100 mph.

It wont kill other things.

I also think thrust should be spacebar, and the arrow keys for flight.

It wont kill martians.

Its really kewl looking. (No, its not just cool, its Kewl)

It wont kill itself.

 

(nvm the kill parts)

 

So, its lookin pretty good so far.

/me begs for this to be added ASAP! i wanna fly!

Fly a buggy. Max out the settings right and it's practically a jet.

i say just forget the jet and make new maps.

hmmm. I think i have a great idea!!!!!!!!!

(I think)

if you could make a map that was multiple, small, and spherical planets (think of it as like a level from Super Mario Galaxy! Or a very small solar system) and you could fly from planet to planet!

the jet would be perfect for that!

I'd make it if I was any good at making levels, but I fail at making anything!

this is really good dont change it is fantaastic

The only thing i dont like is the tail parts. Could you make the two intersecting parts flow more gently together? 

I like the design, but why not have it just a jet. I mean, doesn't a buggy do the same thing a rover does? Isn't the buggy our ready-made rover? I like it just as a jet.

Guys, you dont understand.

ZE PICS AHRE NOT ZE FINAL MAARZ JET.

the one in the pic is ver 2.1

2.2 will be coming out.

So do u guys like the tail or should i make it flow more?

Tell me what ya want.

 

-GTR34

I think you should lose the wheels, and plz DO make the tail-fins flow together better. And if you lose the wheels, you can make the jet MUCH slimmer, something I would love. Your idea about the electro-magnetic pads is awesome! If you look at this post Aubrey, plz consider putting this in!!!!! :)

Thanks Tigerstorm ;). I think people aren't getting this though... the jet in the pics is version 2.1. I am working on 2.2 and it looks awesome. I did away with the wheels. And It's much slimmer.

Mmmm, good!

I should release it today.

Again, GOOD!

Well :

 

I don't think it should replace the good ol' classic buggy.. 

 

But I think it should deffy go into the game :D

Now that i see it, i like it much more without the wheels.  I don't know about silver, but it should definitely be the one if a jet is added.

WIN

Well, Its gonna be purple or pink-red, so it should look pretty cool!

Nice! This is MUCH better than the previous versions. But Jay's right. NICE WORK!!!!

Honestly, you can model...

That is the best I've seen!

GOOD JOB GTR~ Hey I see you got that account finally sheesh took ya long enough*winks

Now we're getting somewhere.

It looks much better than the other jets I have seen in here, my own included (Ouch! *lol*).

 

Keep 'em coming... *s*

 

- Johnny

 

P.S. All we need now is a picture of a flock of geese being sucked into the engine while freshly stuffed pillows and fried geese on silver platters come out the exhaust... *LOL*

Aww man, thanks so much you guys! Even Macdane likes it! (lol) yea, so version 2.2.1 is coming out soon, it has some minor adjustments to the design to fit everyone's idea of a marsjet. DONT WORRY, it looks almost the same, if not better :D.

HEY!! I'm the 100th commenter! I got 100 comments on my jet! Thanks all, hope to get the jet into mars soon!!

Yup... I'm loving it. *Glomps Jet*

 

BTW: Please don't make the wings transparent. They are awesome as they are.

 

- Johnny

101st... *LOL*

Omg, I would never do that. I wanted to do it on the purple carrier version because it was bloated and FAT. With this I have increased visibility, so no need for transparent wings.

BTW: What happened to the wheels?

Are you going for a more conventional landing gear, or?

 

- Johnny

my models just got OWNED.......hmm oh well;)

hehe, thanks Gman  ;D

I must say, i agree with everyone else when i say this is the best jet yet. The compact and playful yet disobediant look of it is very cool. One more suggestion, the tail wings still look slightly off to me, try shortening them, the long parts of them i mean, which would make them closer to the main body. I'd say make e half the size but it's up to you. Great vehicle. I've never been in love with the jet as much as i am now :)

I dunno! I dunno! It just looks off but i can't think of how to make the tail wings look better... Hmmm... Anyone have an ideas?

The Purple One is the old one i think

By the way, only one person rated it, it was probably GTR being nice.

connect them maybe?

 

edit: i meant connect them to make it look kind of like the buggy spoiler.

Yeah, this is the best jet that we have had on here, he actually had the mind to bend the wings up! Everyone just started their model with flat wings... Look at his model! It looks to me as if he did a body FIRST. Talk about sense of modeling!

Nooo. 

Ok, i think you should make the tail wings shorter and have a more gentle curve.

babaG is right...

 

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Then again!

 

AHA!

 

 

Ok, I have an idea, it will most likely suck but here it is:

 

 

Maybe have the back wings also extend in a bit towards each other, almost as if they were to connect, but give them about a 30% game (30% of the current gap).

I dont really like that idea, but what do i know? :)

dude remember me i played with u.anyways yeah awesome jet i WISH THEY MAKE IT!!!

O.O. What can I say, You guys are so generous. O.O I love the "sense of modeling" comment flynn! Yes, I did do the body first, and I know alot of sketchup tricks. And I'm not too sure about the inward tail thingy. I can visualize it in my head. wuh. anyway, ver 2.2.1 thats coming out has a couple upgrades, I'm waiting for more "The Peoples Vehicle" suggestions ;]. I want to make it the best that I can, not only for me but for everyone. Keep the ideas comin guys!!

I think the only thing left is the tail wings...Everything else is perfect :)

i just sat here for 15 minutes reading every single comment on this thread hahahahaha

 

 

1. sweet jet, everyone here is envious of your skills

 

2. retractable wings is a bad idea, it makes the whole jet idea pointless.

 

jet + retractable wings = the current buggy we all know and love.

 

3. the biggest factor in making a jet is whether or not its formidable on the ground. to compensate, the jet should take off vertically *(i know this was mentioned in other posts)* like a harrier.

 

4. a different spawn for jets is probably a good idea.

 

5. if the jet spawns/ respawns on the ground, there will have to be certain parameters that the jet works within. for example, on the ground, the jet can't reach a speed of more than 25 mph, or cant climb mountains like a tank.

 

6. if a jet is implemented it will have to have either low or no firepower, or atleast a fixed aiming sight (not necessarily the 1st person view, just fixed turrets).

 

7. this was already stated in above comments, but speed is one of those factors that has to be looked at considerably. if its too fast, it will be either a cheap way for noobs to runaway with quarry/ it will be hard to steer in close quarters such as eric's maze, and if its too slow it will be the most boring experience in all of mars xplr.

 

to compensate, there should be 2 keys, one for adding thrust, and one for decreasing thrust. this way, you dont have to hold down the space bar to stay at a constant speed.

 

8. Also, i dont think any of the designs ive seen have implemented this:

on real jets there are flaps, whether its on the fins or the wings, they are there. those will need to be added for the plane to actually flyable.

 

 

 

 

that would be the last of my suggestions/criticism =P, your plane is by far the best ive ever seen.

 

keep working on it, and it should become a marsxplr reality soon enough =]

2.2 v gd. No wheels, perfect! I would just put it straight in mars explorer with slightly smaller intakes and a more rounded cockpit. Good work! :D

Thanks guys! I am not doing wing retracts. Just so you know

Y would any1 want those things shorter???

Actually using thrust vectoring in theory 0 flaps are needed but noonein the real world has tried it with yaw and mars explorer doesn't have yaw but I would pay for the jet to have yaw.

Listen, guys.

 

I've got everything sorted out.

When you take off, it acts like a hovercraft.

It floats above ground.

Then when you take off it becomes a jet.

 

Ok, got everything straight now?

Yep, and if I haven't already said, I think that like a real jet on ground when going slow it can turn fine but when going fast it can't turn much at all.

its not a hovercraft. HOVER IS THERE SO YOU CAN TAKE OFF AGAIN.

its not a multi purpose vehicle.

I think this jet (like all the other vehicles) should have settings! Ok, yes it WILL have settings, but you get my drift. Yeah, the default setting for agility would probably be so-so, but you could boost it up! I don't think anyone has taken the settings into calculation yet. I mean, you could make it like I do with the buggies (on steroids) or just make it slow(er) and tune it to how you like it. Afterthought: I think about the same as the buggy, with just a little more acceleration, and about 20-25 mph less top speed. 

Yea that would be cool tigerstorm. I'll think about that

It wouldn't be hover like that it would just be like having wheels without wheels

But if this gets implemented, Aubrey will do it. You won't have to do anything.

and you will be the one to pump them up first like that foxholes we just played

 

I'm actually gonna start a new topic

Coooooool! I like it!!! So many comments it took me a long time to go to the end. 

Lol, hehe. Yea, so let me get this straight. The hover feature is only there to get you into the sky again.

Its not gonna be a full hovercraft.

Yup. The only way we can keep things fair.

P.S. Get someone to make it as a toy, and you're set for life...

hehe, ok maybe i should :D

It's a bit stubby as opposed to sleek which makes it a visual match for our beloved, funky, un-sleek buggy.

 

Who would want to fly a jet that's far slower (100 MPH) than The Buggy?  Not me.

 

For those that think jets must be sleek:

lol kruncher, i hate to bust your bubble, but did you compress the picture horizontally? or did you find it like that?

 

however, you are right, i want to see something incapable of flying, up in the air on marsxplr. i mean, the sky monster just floats there and thats pretty crazy, right?

So...

 

KAWAII!!

 

XDDD

 

It makes me want to eat my toes!!!

 

(Good thing)

And the gnawing on kruncher's ankle continues........

i dont eat ankles, but they are quite succulent =].

 

perhaps maybe a bite or two....

We are getting off topic here guys :]

ANYWAY! The Jet is looking good. Duh.

haha, Thanks man.

Anytime! Its better than anything i could do...

Well, It seems I havent heard any more suggestions on how this should look. I think I am going to release ver 2.3.

i think it's asome

Cool! I like it!

Thanks! I dont know if its going to mars though, havent heard anything from aubrey. 

Its worthy! It should be in.

Well, I'm gonna release ver 2.3 very soon, maybe today. It has some minor fixes to it.

I saw the 2.3 mini pic, and thought "Uh oh" And then saw the whole thing... BRILLIANT!

 

No need to make a blue jet fire thing, that will be done automatically in Unity, with particle efects to really simulate flame.

Although the fire part does look very cool...

Yes i know about the jet particle, but its a cool visualization for people to see it in full effect. I don't know what to say... FLYCLUB LIKES MY JET!!!! hehehe, I tried to make it as good as possible, and I believe I am going to hit a wall with this design very soon if I keep going. Well, I'm not sure if it can be any better ;)

But I always take suggestions.

Remarkable! Very realistic as well.

scale down the inlets a bit and it's dun (they are bigger thn the whole thing lol)

Awesome. I would have slightly prefered a stealth vehicle, but this blows that to the side. Utter gazemazement.

oh...   ...  ...... ..... wow I'm not sure how I can pull that one off. And have it still look good lol. I will try though.

Oi Richard! Shouldn't the drill have a jet flame thing at the end, as to move forward? You could use this kinda thing.

The jet flame is a bit too solid for my taste... Other than that, this baby rocks

Here is stealth. Now you see it:

 

 

Now you don't:

 

Lol dude. I was actually talking about the drill.

Sorry Richard, Steal is too flat for my taste ;) Its a freaking awesome stealth plane though. even though it may have been made in 2 mins ;) And Macdane, The flame id not going to be in the game, its just a visualization. I'm not going to spend hours on the flame and It won't even be put in the game. The flame in Marsxplr will be a particle flame, like the hovercraft's.

Well, I'm not too sure how to fix the intakes without making it look weird. Are all of you ok with that?

awwww snap!!! it disappeared Richard!

GTR34; i think you should take a look at the F-22 Raptor and go for that style of intakes, otherwise i love the jet    : )

go 4 something like this

i mean the intakes

gtr34 your sketchup is way out of date quite a few new features have been added since 5, kinda discreet ones but get 7

he is a much better pic of them

Over all I like GTR's jet a lot. I would only ask to remove the canard (nose wing).

just felt the need to say that the Lamborghini Reventon was inspired by the F-22

i agree with kruncher too 

I like the nose wing. I like everything about it, like macky said, DONT CHANGE ANYTHING!

actually now that i look at it the nose wing does make it look kinda cute, in a good way, so i think GTR34 should not change it

Ok guys, well I'm working on the intakes, they are more F22 like, but still not exactly like an F22. I will keep the nose wing then, but it kind of distracts the view of the intakes. ver 2.4 has some new stuff too.

I dont use sketchup 5, I use sketchup 6. I am also perfectly capable of creating models in sketchup 6 that others can't create in sketchup 7 ; )

awesome GTR34 i hope it gets implemented

isnt that stealth plane just a version similar to my paper plane, but with a tail?

well, yes... They're both flat. :O)

Maybe try to make the exhaust go in a bit at the end, to get more thrust?

Ok, I will edit that too macdane.

MY GOD YOU GUYS!!!! I have over 1700 views on this thread! And 180+ comments! Keep 'em comin' peoples!

perfect! altough i find the air intakes a little too wide on the top, but i know you are working on that right?;)

2.3 is teh awesome plane! so cool! very worthy of mars.

Yep, I am working on the intakes. I have also removed the nose wing, because You can see the air intake improvements better.

I love it. In my opinion it could go in now.

:D. All I have to do is wait now... I sent Aubrey a PM about it, he still hasn't gotten back to me over this.

Actually your joke prototype would be cool for urban flying.

- It has that Star Wars look to it.

Yes, it would be! But you would have to have several backbone surgeries before you could fit into it ;)

Now that I think about it, its not an "all new" model. but you catch my drift ;]

LE BAM!

2.4 Jet = Awesome.

 

Good styling, aerodynamics, and colors! If it was implicated, i would use it so often....

Thanks guys. I sent Aubrey several PM's about this jet, he hasn't got back to me yet. I wonder what is taking him long? I can wait though. 

Maybe It should be a biplane...

Well, I guess it might be due to the fact that he gets a lot of pm's.

- Or maybe because he has so many projects...

 

IDK

 

 

My vision for the jet:

 

Top speed: 200mph

Armament: 1 green forward firing lazer

Manouverability: less than the buggy in flight

Extra features: mini fridge, bathroom, hot tub, indoor swiming pool...lol sorry

lol... I think it should be as manueverable the buggy. oh and btw I'M THE 200th COMMENTER!!!! YAAAA!!! sorry to suck up all the glory ;)

Macdane I think it looks good it has a design of a F-18 the cockpit is like that

 

looks great.  actually, i like the fake prototype, but the actual one looks much much better

I think it should have a top speed of 200MPH, and yet not as manuverable as the buggy. There is no jet even close to being as manuverable as a buggy in the real world. I also like the electromagnetic pads underneath more than the wheels. I also like the idea of a quick boost used while pressing the space key.

 

And GTR, you need to not take advise from every single person, because then it will never be finished. Even though many people may have good ideas, and think it should be your final decision. After all, it is your design. And one more thing, its pretty awesome!!

 

Vita!!

My input on speed and maneuverability:

   For speed, it shoud be like the buggy, a max of 200 just with its own acceleration. adding in the effects of gravity, slowing down when going up (unlike the buggy not to the point where it will stall and go back down, but only slightly.) and speed up when going back down towards mars, except it would accelerate faster, sue to the stronger boost, unlike the buggy.

As for maneuverabilty, you can shoose between a fighter jet, which would be a little less that that of the buggy, or a stunt plane, which would be the same or slightly better than that of the buggy. although any more control than the current buggy and it would be almost impossible to steer.) I also think that there should be a boost when the space bar is hit and if possible a way to have BOTH of my mentioned maneuverability types, Example: type M into the chat box to switch from stunt to fighter, or vice versa. It would be just like activating/ deactivating a xorb!.

    That's my input, but in the end it's all up to you and aubrey to decide whats what.

Sorry, but DUH!

Buggies don't fly in real life. ;O)

 

In the air, a jet should be impressive and very maneuverable.

There could be a flight agility and speed slider for this too.

 

Kind regards,

 

 

I like your input, Keasby! I think I should do something like that! I haven't thought about controls until you guys mentioned it. I also agree with Macdane.

Awesome jet!

 

...Though, I have an idea. Why not modify the gravity pads so that they don't work for about 15 seconds? If you hit the ground, get shot, or ram somebody else, perhaps the engines could stall, and you could be crashing and rolling on the ground for about 15 seconds, and THEN the gravity pads kick in, and you're airborne again!

I meant there isn't a jet very manuverable in the real world.

Well, If you crash and you are the quarry, you are screwed for 15 seconds. I am not too sure If i like that idea morb... It just might not be fair to players who have hard earned their quarry! ;)

 

But this isn't the real world. Are there hovercrafts? Is there lava on Mars?

Have you SEEN some of these trick planes? I don't mean to argue, but these things are built for maneuverability!

Just because it can turn on a dime (which is virtually impossible!) doesn't mean it can do a roll and turn to change directions. Just sayin'. :D

P.S. I think it's way awsome that you can do things with great detail, like the car you designed, and then still do things that are detailed AND cartoony. It's epic, in my opinion. :D

technically there are multiple volcanoes so there would be lava.  But that would be several thousand years ago when they were active.

Beautiful! I can picture this jet in Mars Explorer.

 

In fact, I can hardly wait to implement this jet!

 

If you have a chance, I would love to see some landing gear in the form of three "claw like" legs that hinge from the body and allow it to lock the the sloping sides of hills, or pitching deck of an animate Sea Monster.

 

 

 

My current idea for controls is to implement two movement modes: Flight and Landing, toggled by the spacebar. This jet will be capable of VTOL, with the magnetic levitation system allowing it to act almost like a dampened hovercraft in landing mode until the legs contact the terrain. There will be a throttle visible as a HUD on the screen, and also quickly adjustable via the keyboard number keys.

 

Firepower will probably default to level 1, although this will be determined once we can play with it in the game.

 

I can't give an implementation timeframe - the Whirld project and rewriting the networking system to work out all it's bugs are my main priorities at the moment - but I really look forward to adding this along with the submarine! I am also thinking of adding MacDane's "Neo Jet" as a smaller, possibly unarmed aircraft - Unless of course I decide to designate it as a spacecraft for special zero gravity "star wars" dogfights inside giant space stations...

 

 

 

Great design, spectacular implementation!

 

-Aubrey

I think it should have no landing gear but instead a 'parking brake' as if you were to hold brake. So maybe it would work anywhere to have a point blank stopping effect, taking a while to get back up to top speed of course. And i think the Mag Lev system should be more like a trampoline at high speeds so you can pull off great saves from hitting the ground and gaining some good speed if done correctly. I dunno... I just dont like the landing gear idea on the jet. It either becomes to much like a buggy, or a hover craft.

Thank you Aubrey! One thing though... I am not sure about claw like landing gear, and I'm sure a few others won't be either. But hey, you can't please everyone ;)

yes well def no claws it would all just get a little complicated

Wow.... GTR, this is... Nothing short of spectacular. And I DON'T want the claws, it would take away from the design. I hope this gets implemented in 2.0! :)

So, should I remove the dust from my trusty old Joystick too? *drool... Jooooystick controlled jet*

GASP!!! Imagine the claws though!!! if they could attach to any surface!

   Picture this: youre flying in a jet fight. youre being persued so you go for a brand new escape! you go upside down and put the claws facing up, you then fly through the sea monster and attach to the cieling and hang upside down until they go away. this would work great with a stealth mode. :D

then again i dont know if hanging from the cieling would be a great idea because in that small space. you would have to practice letting go and fliping over really fast so you wouldnt hit the ground.

 I for one, vote YES to... the claws! *intense music*

Yes, But I agree with tiger. I don't think we should do the claws. What do all of you viewers think?

sooo the claws are for it to "perch" on, when it contacts ground/sufaces, and not to drive on. so it would be like a bird? Do I have the right idea?

Sounds fine to me!!

 

After all, I'm "Aviator" LOL :)

stealth car........ cool!!

 

This is truly amazing as many people have said before. I don't really see why not for the claws, it would

 

make you more stable for sniping.

 

I don't think a forward positioned laser of the current design would be very practicle when moving at high

 

speeds, it's hard enough just to hit someone flying in a buggy in 1.9.9, we need rapid fire lasers for the jet

 

otherwise it will be impossible to hit any body. Think about this your moving along at 150 MPH one way

 

and another guy is moving along at 200 MPH and is the quarry and is swerving around, now if your able

 

to actully get you cross hairs on the guy for long enough to shootyou find out that the laser doesn't move

 

fast enough to hit him before he's moved out of the way, so you have to aim in front of him quit a ways

 

to hit him but then he's swerving unpredictably so even the best aimer on mars can't hit him. after all

 

real jets have machine guns that fire up to 2600 shots a minute.

 

another thing is i don't like the views, there very smooth and they're great aubrey, but they don't look forward when you are turning, i'd rather it not be so smoth but be bhind me. 

 

anyway seeya on mars

 

spitfire

 

 

I agree the lazer sight being forward would be very hard to hit someone. I think it would not be fair if it had free movement everywhere so Why not the happy middle where you would have a diametre (sorry only remember the french spelling) (or 2 times the radius) in which the reticule can move like 15 degrees but when you move anyfarther the reticule turns off and becomes a tool just for looking at blind spots.

I like the idea of rapid fire; needs cooldown, though.

The jet is supposed to have little to no firepower.

 

The claws wouldn't really fit... Maybe the polarity of the magnetic pads would reverse, enabling you to stick to a wall?

Soooo?

Will you mock up some claws so we can see what it would look like?

Perhaps instead of claws, pads?

no pads what we need are giant grappling hooks that can shoot out in whatever direction you want them to so you can climp up a hill.... in your jet..... wait nvm this is what the buggy needs! or we could make like a spider like vehicle!

I think instead of little to no firepower it should just have the ability to shoot only forward (like a real plane in a dog fight.) that way you would have the same firepower, but it would be much harder to aim.

and it wouldnt really matter what the jets firepower was, because people will most likely change it with the firepower slider in the server settings anyways. :P

i agree with Flynn but how about some kind of magnetic pads that can attach the walls

I like magnetic pads.

D Claws cost over 32m due to those poopy merchanting clans.

 

Oh wait this is Mars Explorer not Runescape.

 

I think the jet looks amazin' as it is :3

 

And we probably don't want to give it toooo much of an advantage over other vehicles XD

yo tengo un solucion: magnetic claws!!! =)

this has been suggested. i would say read the posts, but im not gonna subject you to reading that many posts hahahaha

My view on this? Well.... TO HECK WIT CLAWS, GO WITH PADS!!!!!!!!! IF YOU PUT CLAWS IN IT WILL TAKE AWAY FROM DE DESIGN!!!!! Srry, I just HAD to git dat out of me system. ;)

actually, id like to change my opinion. magnets would be cool, but maybe the claws would be better.

like if you land and atach to a wall, you could the turn or readjust slightly to position for your next take off rather than using magnets which would logically only have the ability to grab and let go of surfaces.

ASLO, is mars a giant magnet that we could just stick to? ...I had much more to say... but im drawing a blank... Ill be back to this later, when I remember.

I just don't think claws would blend smoothly into mar's sleek... izzleness?

I like the idea of claws!

Magnetic pads are unrealistic for attaching to dirt...  I guess it might be able to be done with the van der Waals force(the same thing that gecko feet use to attach to things.), but that wouldn't change the pad design.

im just gonna reply cuz it looks cool

My though exactly. In fact, there are all ready pads right under the jet as it is!

Yep, Flynn is right. As you can see in picture number 9, there are in fact magnetic pads on the belly of the jet. So, I still don't like the claws, I like the idea of reversing the polarity of the pads so it sucks onto the ground. So, keep commenting please. 

 

(Notice my grammar and spelling is better, its the second day of school for me ;)

Second Thursday here in Texas!

 

Iron is what gives Mars it's reddish color, and it is... one of those things magnets attach to... I can't remember the name...

Weres the claws?

OMG YOU ARE LEARNING?!

 

 

 

im not :P

were already getting our first progress reports here... so its our 4th week id say.

also is the word your looking for magnetic? lol

Kewl. So I think the MAGNET suction is the best... because it doesn't take away from the current design.

 

Keep the comments comin'

Yeah, I also think that claws would take away from the design. Just out of interest, though, could you give us a picture of what it would look like?

I was thinking about this a bit...

A way to add claws without taking away from the design:

Add the claws like landing gear, that automatically come in and out of the jet when you near the ground (like the buggies wheels, when flying) that way when you are flying, you can get good screen shots without the the claws, it would take away from the design, sure, but is it that bad? it would be one thing wrong with a perfect jet model. I say go for the retractable claws.

OMGZ! this is a really, really, REALLY, COOL! This will deffinitly beat my models... BTW, I have not been on in forever, so I am a little rusty.

 

matthewb6

what about if you couldnt even see the claws until they came out?

thats exactly what i said.

btw, the new pic is so smooth, and its got a shine to it! It looks so amazing... I want one.

NO i think it looks like a Euro Fighter, a litle bit. 

 

but really cool design though keep it up GTR

Thanks Vipes. The new rendered pic is to juice you up for what is to come.

Ω

I luv the claw idea, PS: when the helicopter coming... jk

Re: Claws - I would rather an energy field emit from underneath that attracts the ground then stops and holds you when standard brake is applied.

 

Re: Gigantic ship posted by GTR before - GTR, you never addressed my idea, did you? - You said the ship may be too big for the map. My idea was to design it as a wrecked, crippled, laser-burnt spacecraft so it would be stationary but mysterious and explorable.

It took me half an hour to read ALLLLLL the comments.  I love the jet, I don't like the claws and YOU ARE AMAZING GTR.

Supermarine,

 

I think that if this was put into the game that Aubrey would adjust the armament and speed to make it balanced and fun.

 

I think GTR's original speed projection was 100 MPH. No thanks! Way to slow!

I also agree, too. Sorry, guys, the claws will come later, due to the fact that i started middle school and do not have much time on my hands. I am going to leave mars, thanks for all the nice comments......

 

 

..

 

...

 

(hope I didn't scare you! :)

 

Nah, I'm not leaving. I can take middle school and mars at the same time, I'm not a wimp ;)

 

NOT SAYING THAT ANYBODY IS!

 

So the claws will come later than expected. See ya around, peoples!

 

Cheers,

 

GTR34!

 

 

one quick question is it a vehicle you can drive?

Ah... no... you fly it. Its a jet about the same size as the buggy. Hence the wings and the tail section...

Am I going to win the award for the largest thread? xD

ah then put sticky pads on the bottom of the gear that would be good to land upside down

No, the mars game guess who one os the biggest... over 1100 comments!

 

Super Cheese

But it could grow to be larger.

that would be pointless if everyone used stealth

howdo i use this in mars explorer

You can't use it yet. Aubrey said it would be available in version 2.0, which is next. Could be anywhere from a day to months.

AAAAAHH!!!! I SOOOO CAAANNNTTT WAAAIIITTT TILLLL 2.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D thank you!

 

I'm real busy with school/marching band, and no, I'm not a band geek :P.

 

I don't have time to get on much.

 

anyway, see you guys later!

*Bleck*

I HATE those legs. I was hoping you wouldnt even need legs. 

marching band yay!

I still stand by what I said.  Landing gears are the way to go.  But still you did a good job on the legs.. thing

Those legs look weird on it.

Maybe something with a joint or two on it and a little more structure on the actual leg parts?

I love the legs, they rock!

Sorry guys, I didn't want the claws either, BUT AUBREY WANTS IT. I can't really do anything axcept try to make them better.

Actually, I kind of like them! It gives the jet a classic Sci-Fi feel! :)

really? thanks! They only took about 5 mins.

I believe this is the longest vehicle thread on this site :)

mmmhmmm

 

yep. So anyone else like the claw suction thingys?

Add hydraulic tubes?

two things:

 

1. are the claws retractable? (is this the spacebar function of the jet?)

 

2. maybe copy your post to a new disscusion, so that it is easier to read. (ie., less old comments)

hmm... maybe... but its not that hard to read if you just grab the scroll bar and scroll down to the most recent... I will make my posts in bold for the most recent posts.

 

The claws are retractable, I will detail them today maybe.

Picture three looks like the jet is playing tennis.  Lol!

 

I still would prefer a ground attraction field as it would simplify things.

 

The leg modeling is splendid however and looks great!

Hey, thank you krunch. Well, Aubrey wants it, so I can only do my best to make it go with the jet. I agree, it would be complicated, and I prefer the hoverpads, but you know... Aubrey wants it so... ya better give it to him if I want this in the game :)

I shall go notify him. Keep the comments comin' guys!

Those new legs look lovely GTR!

Thanks guys! Thanks Iron! Keep the comments comin!

As long as the claws fold in, this is amazing! Can't wait till it's implemented.

THAT IS SO TIGHT!!!!!  But I have one question, are they activated by the space button or do they stay out?

They are activated by the space bar

Awesome jet.  I like the idea of it taking off like a harrier jump jet, vertically. 100 mph is still a bit slow, maybe 200 max, but acceleration gets slower the faster u go so it takes a while to get to 200 mph, and noobs can't just fly off very easily. I also think it should have something kind of like a machine gun on it. Plz let it shoot in almost all directions, or it would suck. Seriously. If it can only shoot straight, that even bots could shoot you easily. 

whta i always thought it would do that would be awesome is when you take off the landing gear would flod in the the jet jumps like a foot the slowly speed up!

Yes, that's what it's gonna do.

If you really need the landing gear, i would make them spiked legs, not suction cup type things.

Nice stuff GTR

The legs looks much better now.

Thanks Mac!

SO! I guess this is my finished product. All we have to do is wait! Thanks for all your support, and have you read through this whole post lately? It's HUGE! I remember when I first started this...

 

 

 

It looks really different, guys, and It's all because of the viewers. If you had not suggested any styling differences, then it would still look like that ^

 

 

Thank you all!

U know what would look cool in my opinion? Crab like landing gear! Maybe....

That's what I was originally supposed to do... but I decided that it's too animal like. And leechy and crawly and grabby.... like crab legs lol. I decided to go fore more friendly looking pads, which I think matches the jet better.

NIce gtr! I wasn't sure about the claws idea at first, but it's turned out well!

They may need to be toned down in detail before being put in the game though...

yep! Enjoy my creations guys. Bye.

cant wait to try that monster out

I have an idea put it on the sky monster level

I like it!

WHAMY-KA-BLAMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAMY-KA-BLAMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have a feeling this will not be implemented. I haven't given Aubrey a file yet, but he hasn't asked, I don't think this jet is going anywhere else, sadly. I have lost my interest and excitement in this creation, as well as the buggy, because I feel I will never be able to drive them. Oh well, I tried, right?

Always look on the briiiight siiide of liifeee!!

Come on man!

Try hard enough and it's bound to work out. Send them too him anyway and see what happens.

Well, I don't think anything is going to happen.

*Double post*

Cheer up pup.

Nothing's going to happen with that attitude!

yea try too make it real, there's this one player that would die for this (his name is even jet)

yea... ok then. Do you guys like my jet? Do you think it's good enough for mars? I think it may be missing something...

 

Is there anyone who can help convert this to a blender file?

 

So I can give it to Aubrey.... but I don't want to disturb him.

I don't know how but still I think aubrey would be happy since you did most of the work try sending it

Ok. I must start thinking about functions.

 

Color: customizable.

Canopy: SILVER metallic.

Flame: blue (But I would prefer customizable if possible :))

shift key: thrust

arrow keys: control

CRTL key: momentary boost

Jet speed: Customizable (but not too ridiculous)

Agility: Customizable

Space key: Landing gear

 

Any more you can think of guys?

i think 100mph is a little low for a jet. I like the design a lot though. maybe more around 225mph and thats it because, well... its a jet. this is just my opinion though so if you dont like it thats ok.

i think two keys should control thrust. One to accelerate, one to decelerate. That way you dont have to hold the key the entire time. Either way would work i suppose... Actually, command could be a decel/brake key. 

indeed, that would simplify things alot.

 

 

 

i really really really really really really hope that this gets added..........2.0 is on its way!

I sent the Blender file to Aubrey along with control parameters.

I Hope it gets implemented!!!

lol, thank you mommy (lol jk hehe) Thanks guys! I hope this gets implemented. Cross your fingers pwese!!!

 

=D

 

I pmed him and he pmed me back.

 

Thanks!

WOOO!!!O!O!O!!!!OOOOOOOO!!!!!OO!!O!!!OOOO!!!! 

 

I AM PUMPED WOOO

 

Why did flyclub leave a blank reply?

HOOTY HOOT! Mars, PREPARE FOR THE JET INVASION!

Why is your comment blank FC?

Good Job.

omg yes!!!!!!!!!! finally i shall be the one to be feared! i shall rule the skies! not even mighty tanks will stop me!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snares shall prevail over all. For his guitar fingers have super fast reflexes. No one shall prevail over snares!!! (but kruncher ot babaG may sometimes) And...... I'm very thrilled for the implemation of this Jet.

 

Make this a Scamjet powered craft!!!!!!! Or a Ramjet!!! 

nooo, it must be a WinPowered craft, powered by pure win!

I'm pretty sure that the jet has little to no armament, as Aubrey stated earlier. Good luck trying to blast a tank, one of the most armed vehicles in the game, with a jet.

I will send Aubrey a pm about that. Listen, aren't you excited about a new vehicle? Or are you just a bit mad at me because I didn't start on your aircraft carrier? I was loaded with stuff to do today, ok? Geeze... got a test tomorrow, had to finish my book, and attend a meeting with one of my buddies. I can send Aubrey a pm about armaments.

 

Even still, go play paradise paintball if you want to mindlessly shoot stuff.

 

This isn't a shoot-em-up game.

I love it! I've just created my account now, but I've been playing this game for awhile (after I discovered it as a mac widget)

 

I can't wait for version 2.0 of the game!

 

And I must also say that its interesting that I should use blender on a regular basis (I believe you said something about using it?)

That's not what I meant; I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's in my nature to be sarcastic. I'm just pointing out some pros and cons of the jet.

But yes, I'm excited. I like flying a lot, and this will add a whole new dimension.

Flyclub was speachless!!! Thats how exited he was!!!!  :D

 

ME TO!!!

lol

hey if you have some time to kill try this mean machine

hey isnt that something from starwars 3?

no... I saw this thing actually drive. Lets get back on topic :)

WHOHOOO THAT LOOKS AMAZING GTR I CANT WAIT TO TRY IT OUT OMGOSH I CANT FLIPPIN WAIT DUDE WHEN DOES IT COME OUT MAN OH MY FLIPPING GARSH!!!!!!!!

Are you being sarcastic or something? You are really flipping out!

NO IM JUST REALLY EXCITED (cmon man a brother with a hyperactive disorder NEVER kids around)  XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

hehehe, lol. I CANT WAIT!

Perhaps Aubrey is waiting for this thread to hit three thousand exclamation points before implementing a jet?

 

BOOYAH KRUNCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

LOLOLOL!!!!!!

lol. GTR POWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

exactly 3,000 exclaimation points

you actually took the time to count them all?

it doesnt matter if the game is horrable  th is jet would make any game AWESOME NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

remember when the tank was first implemented in 1.9.1? that is what happens when implementation is rushed, I would really hate it if that happened to the jet!

You're right... me too... but I don't know if Aubrey is actually working on this...

It has an F-22 look to it, at least i think, or I'm just crazy...

ArEnT YoU ExCiTeD>?!?!?! I IS!!!

YES I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

oh. my. god. THAT IS AWESOME! the new render rocks!

ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVER 6000 views!!!!!!

 

O.O

All I know is that I is eagerly anticipating the jet! I cant wait to see what it can do....

AWW YEAH! I knew between Aubrey and GTR they wouldn't let us down!

yea maybe you are crazy :)

YES! whew i thought you were gonna let me down ;)

AHHHHH!!! THE COOLNESS BURNS!!! XD

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! THE COOLNESS BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

 

 

Why don't you make a level modeled after it or better yet make a level for it

I like how you are recycling this post, rather than making a new one for every thing!

its almost as cool as the jet... but not really. jet is too cool for school.

Clear, as in translucent (like the wings on the current buggy)? Sounds pretty cool, if you ask me. Although it would be slightly harder to hit from the ground.

 

Another point. The introduction of this (work of art) could effectively eclipse the buggy's flight function via sheer superiority. This thing's impact on MEx gameplay could be huge.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

nice gtr!

cant wait until its in the game!

 

PS- my first post in awile...i missed wille then...

Eh, sorry but though I was looking forward to the jet, I have to boycott it based on someone being a Star-bellied Sneetche. I call foul on private custom color.

LOL! But yes, I do too. Why the private custom color? Just because you made it (no offense) you get a private custom color? Humph.

nah, its not private. It will just be a custom color that I always use for the jet :)

 

Anyone can use it, now that I think about it.

There now that didn't hurt so bad right? Thank you. I'm a meanie with a purpose. :)

 

heehehehe... Aubrey hasn't told me yet :(.

 

It should be soon.

define soon. 

 

this thing look friggin amazing. cheers to aubrey! when is it gonna be implicated?

 

i wonder how fast it goes......

I designed and built it irishwarrior.

 

Cheers to Aubrey for his hard work!

 

no really.

 

cheers to him.

not being corny or anything

 

cheers

 

:)

Yeah, and did an awesome job too.

I must say, this makes me happy.

 

I remember first playing mars explorer, in the days when only the buggy existed and foxholes and freestyle were the only modes (or was it just freestyle?)... I loved flying in the buggy but it was always too unstable for me.

 

Now I use the tank, but I think this is going to be much better, despite the lesser power and armor.

 

Do you think it'll still be able to cling to the side on rocks or, say, the underbelly of that 'monster (can't remember the exact name at this time)?' I'd really like to be able to snipe people from unexpected places...

It would be awesome if the jet had gas so then you would have to land to refuel then take off right after that. That way it makes the jet more fair to the other vehicles like the buggy. If it cold also drop some type of bomb or explosion that could work like a laser and you could still become quarry.

 

The Jet already has things to balance it- weak armory and firepower. The bomb thing would be kinda cool, but I think it's lasers would either have to be removed or made so they can only fire in the default line of site (so alt won't work, and you couldn't snipe), otherwise it would become unbalanced once again.

 

Cool Ideas though, Kudos!

Ahem, Mars is not about Explosions!

Refueling would make it no fun!

you go forgie!

Yeah After listening to Flynn and Tiger I pick stuff up.

Yeah i guess the refueling is kind of unfair but how else is the Jet suppose to be fair?

 

trust me, it's fair.

When you are a good player like dash and kruncher, you can shoot at high speeds and aim the laser so that it will hit your opponent. Others will get the target in their crosshairs, and fire as they fly by, but the lasers will hit maybe 15 feet away from their opponent because the jet would be flying fast. Opponents would be harder to hit in a jet.

Heh heh, just my type of flying is styled for the jet... ME CAN'TS WAIT!!!!!!!!! WHEEENNNNN? Lol. Can't wait to school people wit it either. Jk.

Awesome!!!!! Meesa wants to fly!!!

Well, I'd no longer say It's happening, but that it's happened.

 

Release of 2.1 preview- it includes the jet :)

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i think the design should be more curvy

hey just a question, can u make a high preformance boat that can hover and be in water?

 

COOL!!

it actuly goes fast

 

It looks so old now!
