Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Somebody once asked
Could I spare some change for gas?
"I need to get myself away from this place"
I said, "Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the backstreets?
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now
Hey now
Hey, hey, hey now
Hey now
Hey now, you're an all star
Hey now, you're an all star
Hey now, you're an all star

"The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal bodeboop. A sing lap should be completed every time you hear this sound. ding Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start."

The Detroit Diesel Series 71 is a two-stroke diesel engine series, available in both inline and V configurations. The first number in the model series designation refers to the number of cylinders, and the second - 71 - the nominal displacement per cylinder in cubic inches, a rounding off of 70.93 cu in (1.2 L).
Inline models included one, two, three, four and six cylinders, and the V-types six, eight, 12, 16 and 24 cylinders.
The two largest V units used multiple cylinder heads per bank to keep the head size and weight to manageable proportions, the V-16 using four heads from the four-cylinder inline model and the V-24 using four heads from the inline six-cylinder model. This feature also assisted in keeping down the overall cost of these large engines by maintaining parts commonality with the smaller models.
The inline six-cylinder 71 series engine was introduced as the initial flagship product of the Detroit Diesel Engine Division of General Motors in 1938. The V-type first appeared in 1957.
Sales of The 71 Series ceased in the summer of 1995, with the four stroke Detroit Diesel engine introduced as a replacement.
Design Edit
Bore and stroke are the same across all units, at 4 1⁄4 in × 5 in (108 mm × 127 mm). Inline models were famously "symmetrical", meaning that blower, exhaust, water manifold, starter, and other components could be mounted on either side of the basic block to fit a particular application. A number of models could also run with the crankshaft turning either clockwise or counter-clockwise, called "Right Hand" or "Left Hand" rotation engines (as viewed from the front of the engine). The less-common Left Hand engines were typically used in buses, because the rotation matched rear-engined transverse installations. Boats equipped with two engines would typically use one Left Hand and one Right Hand, so that the torque from the propellers would cancel each other out, without the need for a complex reversing gear on one side.
As a two-stroke diesel engine that does not use crankcase aspiration cannot naturally draw in combustion air, the blower is inherently necessary to charge the cylinders with air for combustion. The blower also assists in scavenging spent combustion gasses at the end of the power stroke. All Series 71 engines use uniflow scavenging, in which a gear-driven Roots blower mounted to the exterior of the engine provides intake air through cored passages in the engine block and ports in the cylinder walls at slightly gre

So, ever noticed how you have 20 downloads but have only 1 upvote? Well, you are not alone. Literally almost everyone else is having the same issue.

Why your builds are not getting more upvotes

Upvote to Download ratio and how it effects us

What is an Upvote to Download ratio? An Upvote to Download ratio is a number that tells you how many upvotes your build will get for every so many downloads. You can calculate this yourself.

So, if your build has 4 upvote and 20 downloads, your upvote to download ratio is 0.2, or 1 upvote to every 5 downloads. You can get the latter by making the decimal a fraction.

---

So why isn't the number of downloads and upvotes equal?

From what I can see, the issue arises from two things.

-The public users
-The silent majority

These two groups contribute to the problem, but for different reasons.

---

Public Users

Have you ever downloaded a build to try it out but forgot to come back to upvote it? Perhaps the thought of upvoting never crossed your mind. No matter the reason, it happens to all of us.

We, users with Simpleplanes accounts, do not always upvote the builds we download. This could be cause by many thing, from simply forgetting to do so too just not believing the build deserves your upvote. This is part of the reason why our upvotes do not match the amount of downloads.

---

The silent majority

There is a large mass of invisible users hidden from our view. They watch and observe in the shadows, downloading your builds without leaving a trail. Who is this mysterious group?

0 point users and people without accounts.

Yep, they are why so many builds of our builds have so much more downloads to upvotes. They simply can't upvote your build.

---

Putting it all together

So, whats with the graph? This is the ratios of 100+ user builds, ranging from 1:4, a build with one upvote and four downloads, too 9:12500, the most upvoted build on the site. With this, we can see that the ratio between upvotes and downloads decreases the more upvotes you get. But why?

This is due to the silent majority.

The silent majority comes into play once the build becomes popular. This could be reaching the front page making the highest rated for day/week/month. This is where the silent majority will see your build and begin downloading it.

Till then, users get their downloads primarily from users like me and you, who will occasionally scroll through hottest and newest or find the build through a te

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labour and valourous deed.
.
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
.
In the victory of Communism's immortal ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

@WiiMini i learned my lesson lol

@russianspy ok i can pin that, but i'll be watching for any edits

The Blohm & Voss BV 141 was a World War II German tactical reconnaissance aircraft. It is notable for its uncommon structural asymmetry. Although the Blohm & Voss BV 141 performed well, it was never ordered into full-scale production, for reasons that included the unavailability of the preferred engine and competition from another tactical reconnaissance aircraft, the Focke-Wulf Fw 189.The Plexiglas-glazed crew gondola on the starboard side strongly resembled that found on the Fw 189, and housed the pilot, observer and rear gunner, while the fuselage on the port side led smoothly from the BMW 132N[1][a] radial engine to a tail unit.At first glance, the placement of weight would have induced tendency to roll, but the weight was evenly supported by lift from the wings. In terms of thrust vs drag asymmetry, the countering of induced yaw was a more complicated matter. At low airspeed, it was calculated to be mostly alleviated because of a phenomenon known as P-factor, while at normal airspeed it proved to be easily controlled with trimming. The tailplane was symmetrical at first, but in the 141B it became asymmetrical – starboard tailplane virtually removed – to improve the rear gunner's fields of view and fire.[1]The Plexiglas-glazed crew gondola on the starboard side strongly resembled that found on the Fw 189, and housed the pilot, observer and rear gunner, while the fuselage on the port side led smoothly from the BMW 132N[1][a] radial engine to a tail unit.
