It's been a year since I joined the SimplePlanes community.
Man, time has gone by.
To commemorate, I present to you Top 5 of my best aircraft of all time, in terms of looks, flight model, and overall achievement.
Without further ado, let's get into it.
In the 5th place, we have the F-14B "Tomcat".

This aircraft was the 2nd aircraft I've ever published on to the site, and while it doesn't have it's looks, it was impressive for little 14 year old me, considering I made it purely based of off reference images. It was the one which started my uphill in popularity.
In the 4th place, we have the NF-15B STOL/MTD.

Ah yes. My first ever actually stable PSM aircraft. It had the looks, the livery, the flight model, and it had weapons, too. Though, I'd say the only downside it has is the size and the part count. I still love it to this day. Though, my style was still pretty primitive that day.
In the 3rd place we have the Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor.

This was my first attempt at making a 5th gen fighter using the newly introduced PAT (Panelling Avoidance Technique). It. Was. Fast. Though, the maneuverability lacked, due to the lack of lift given by the wings. I tried to make it as good as my NF-15B, I really tried. Though, a plus is that it's mobile friendly.
In the 2nd place, we have the Eurofighter Typhoon.

This aircraft is my first aircraft that received more than 20 upvotes and it boosted my account right up to silver. And, it was also my first aircraft to have multiple loadouts. I would definitely try and do it again, because it was amazing building this.
Also, fun fact, the description was f*cked due to me being in a hurry. Yeah. Crazy, I know.
At the number one spot is definitely, and still is the General Dynamics F-16C Viper. It never moved out of the early access state it currently now is. Sad.
This was extremely ambitious. It took me 3 months to even get 80%, then I give up and ended up just publishing it. It had tremendous amounts of details. It was crazy. So crazy, my phone would blow up if I continued. Exaggeration. Though I would say it is without it's minus. Flight model was pretty artificial, design was rough, and weaponry was, well, meh. Though, what really stand out to me is the ability to make your own loadout. It's not complete, but it is amazing.
I honestly am still amazed with what I put out on this site. While I do have some stuff that I'd like to repair even a little bit, but even then, I'm still amazed.
In the future, there will be better things. So stay tuned for that.
Thank you for this one year, and I'll see you in the next upload.
Fly safe.
wait.. you're older than me?
happy year one btw :D
All hail PAT
In 2 months I'll be able to make a post like this.
I'll not do so however since most of the stuff I made is really crappy.
