how far do you throw the paper airplane?

[xcrunner]

so how far? http://flightsimx.cyclops.amnesia.com.au/index.html

my pr is 111.643m

[pokey]

106.433m

And on a shorter throw that went about 65m, I did two loops. That was pretty cool, but I think it kills your speed and distance.

I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. There needs to be more interesting things to look at past about 50m or so.

[Rabid Monk]

9.2 meters. Nuts to this.

[Smyles]

...just got 85.8m with 3 loops!

[lefty_monster]

66.183!!!

How do you do a loop?

[Smyles]

How do you do a loop?

I can't not do a loop! When I get the plane out the window it does 1-3 loops and then continues on its way

[xcrunner]

i just threw 111.625m which put me at 1650th of 6,474,488 throws.

What's your technique?
Where did you start on the screen?
Did you throw upwards or downwards?

what you need to do is bring the plane so that it is flush with the crown molding, move your cursor off the screen and then enter from the right side of the screen at the floor molding.

Last year I got an all-expenses paid trip to Toronto for a paper-airplane throwing competition.

I choked and didn't quite win the trip to Austria for the world championships. Pity.

But it does make me a professional competitive paper airplane flyer.

And I still can't get out the darned window!

I guess everyone is good at SOMETHING.

It's so insulting when it almost does a loop but just goes up and stalls, floating irritatingly slowly to the ground.

[pokey]

This game needs an 'speed up flight' type button. When going for a PR (111.844m), I don't have the patience to sit around watching my plane stall over the chimney and take its sweet time stalling to the ground.

That's still only a rank of 1840. What kind of crazy flight do you need to get in the top 100?

Blasted plane needs some little canards at the nose. With that wing shape, it's too likely to just stall-fall-stall unless the speed and angle of attack are JUST right. But with canards, it'd have a smoother glidepath.

Sour grapes, as I can't get it to go past 90 or so.

[IHateMrPotatohead]

I give up.

I can't get it to go more than about 3 feet.

This simulator would be a lot more interesting if we could tweak the plane a bit. When I used to build these kind of dart shaped paper airplanes I'd tinker with the elevators on the tail, camber the wing, or add some weight to the nose.

I feel safe and secure exposing my geekiness like that, seeing as how Rabid Monk has me beat by being a competitive paper airplane flyer.

I shall point and laugh at you all, while i tweak my own flying paper creation.
