Microsoft Paper Plane Competition!

by mark.avey on June 15, 2007

This fun little paper plane simulator has been around for a while, but I’ve only just discovered it

I think it may have been launched around the time Flight Simulator X was launched, but better late than never! It’s a paper plane simulator, playable right from your browser, and it’s terrific fun I can see many hours being lost to this!

For the record, my best distance so far is a pitiful 9.968m. Post your best results here! I’ve set up a league, so come along and join in the fun.

11 revenge 08.16.07 at 11:25 pm: to do well, put the airplane in the very top left corner, then move your cursor around the window, and, in the center of the right you may notice some horizontal bars going downward, you need to place the cursor so that the plane curves and goes out the top of the window, this way, you can easily score over a hundred
12 mark.avey 08.17.07 at 7:59 am: Yep, that’s the “secret”, although I guess it could be construed as cheating

Could you explain this a little more for us thickies please? thanks
14 mark.avey 11.21.07 at 11:39 am: You need to “pick up” the plane by holding the mouse down over it and dragging it to the top left, but then keep dragging the mouse around (the plane will stay where it is), under the “game” window, over to the right-hand side of the game window, then as soon as you touch the right-hand side of the game, the plane will launch.

Hope this makes sense!

24 steve 12.13.07 at 10:27 pm: Same.

I can get 114 easy. not even close to going past that.

188 is a lie or another cheat involved

30 Don Black 12.29.07 at 12:35 am: My best is 114.403 with the little chaet (thanks). What is the difference between v1 and v2? I heard 130 ws the best but 14 and188. My entire league is dumbfounded and can not get much past 114.8
31 tony 01.24.08 at 4:43 pm: i got 114.573

if u copy it into excel, then take it to top corner (Cell A1) then hold mouse down to column 18 move mouse onto screen where it is 18.
32 Andy 02.12.08 at 5:48 pm: Hi All, my top score is 118.275 with out using the cheat. Just need to practice flicking your wrist starting from the top left as per the cheat. Image is available for proof… do not beleive the 188 etc.
33 james hugh munro 05.11.08 at 9:07 pm: I managed to get 124m, if you throw it backwards it gets launched really fast out of the top of the wall! found it by accident, but it’s amazing!
34 richie 06.01.08 at 3:20 am: how do you throw it backwards?
35 jason 06.06.08 at 6:04 am: how do you throw it backwards?
36 sam 10.08.08 at 7:47 pm: I got it so it never hit the floor so i got in the 400m zone before i got bored
37 richie 11.02.08 at 6:13 am: how did you do that then ?
