Airplane quality?

10.1k Advil  5.0 years ago

How is it some beautiful airplanes get two upvotes, and a mediocre airplane gets 30? I’ve noticed I get a set number of upvotes for whatever quality I post. Don’t get me wrong, I get plenty upvotes. It’s just a wee bit frustrating that build quality doesn’t translate to upvotes, and I’m sure other builders have this problem.
Sorry for complaining.

Edit: this is not a plea for upvotes. I have plenty. This is to try to bring the SP community to upvote any quality builds and not popular builds.

    @Zanedavid Spends two hours on a build, gets 18 updoots
    I see no problem with this equation.

    In general planes of simpler quality can reach a larger group of people. In my situation I play on my phone so I look for simpler quality plane's of which still look amazing in some sercomtances (excuse the spelling) But run so well, earlier I got a leopard 2, I was able to download it but to run it I had to take almost all detale of then I could finally play it and it runs smoothly.

    Well, it depends on a mix of skill, timing, presentation and luck.
    If you have all of those except skill, you won’t go insanely far but you’ll certainly do ok.
    If you have skill and nothing else, you’ll probably get lost in new

    @Tums usually about lunch time or 8-9 am.
    Though I struggle to do this because I am Asian
    Which means that when I'm awake most of the users are asleep

    @Tums Thank you! I am overjoyed to hear that I served as inspiration for your equally inspiring builds. Most of my knowledge comes from experience and practice. If you want a more specific area to experiment on with your builds, try playing with canopy design a bit. Designing a good-looking canopy is, in my opinion, one of the most difficult aspects of SP aircraft design. Trying new methods to design a canopy can really enhance the appearance of any aircraft.
    .
    I also just checked that you have two months of experience on SP. Considering the high quality of your builds, that is a very, very, very short amount of time. If this is your first account, then good job! It took me much longer to progress in the way that you have.

    For me it's the time of the post.
    Cause how do you expect to get tons of upvotes if majority of the population is asleep?
    Also keep in mind about the screenshots and build quality

    Thank you! I think after some time, I will have gotten to know more people, things will get better. Again thank you. Before I started building, I literally downloaded all your builds. XD. I used your buildS as inspiration@spefyjerbf You seem to be doing well in the hard category of futuristic. Any other tips?

    A few reasons.
    .
    1) Some users have built up an audience over time that consistently upvotes their builds.
    .
    2) A build’s total upvotes are mostly determined by how long the build can stay on the hottest (and highest rated) pages. This causes a very sporadic upvote count in the absence of a large follower base.
    .
    3) I’ve noticed that you build in the futuristic/sci-fi genre, which I personally love! However, that genre typically scores slightly less upvotes than, perhaps, a replica of a long-beloved aircraft from history.
    .
    The nice thing is that you seem to be gaining an audience on SP. You have a style that is appealing to a good amount of people, including me.

    I have noticed that trend. My problem is that I can’t present well at all on mobile. @jamesPLANESii

    Presentation is just as, if not, more important than the build quality in terms of getting upvotes
