So... I started playing simple planes the month after it released. I just found it when I was looking for a plane-building simulator. I LOVE PLANES!!! :D So eventually I started getting used to all of the classic blocks and stuff like that. I wasn't satisfied, so I went online to download the most realistic model possible. I found an epic DC-9 but I couldn't download it. I had no clue what fuselage blocks were at the time anyway. I thought it was modded mesh blocks. Anyway, my mobile device broke, so eventually I decided to go buy simple planes on windows. I was amazed with the fuselage blocks and the other features. Maybe a month later, I wanted to share my B787. I had to get an account for simple planes, so that is where it all started. Nobody liked my planes, but I kept building and posting. I eventually started putting up my concept "Planex" aircraft with, I hate to admit it, a fake copyright. And turns out there was already a paint type carpenter's thing called Planex, but who cares! Anyway, I started using a new cockpit design to my advantage, and I got a few upvoted from that. So I built more. And more. And more. And more. And more. I eventually was able to do epic cockpits ad aircraft with the circular block update, bringing me to now, where my aircraft are pretty much full-blown 3-5 hour projects, and I found the right mix between quality and quantity. So now here I am, 24.7k points, just praying that Platinum people wont load up page 2. So, I just want to say these few things.
To the low-pointers:
I have been there. I mean, with almost no points and no upvotes. But I must tell you, if you put yourself to work, and you work hard, and you put passion into your aircraft, great thing will happen. You may never be featured, I never did get featured, but you can still do great things in SimplePlanes. Just find a plane you truly love, work out the fuselage, the wings, and the tiny details, and you can be among Delphinus and SpiritusRaptor. So work hard, and love your planes, and great things will happen.
To the high-pointers:
You worked hard, you became famous, and you all had something special in your works of art. People love your airplanes, maybe it's because you specialize in tiny details, or maybe you are good at advertising, but either way, you made it, and you crossed the gap between low points and high points. You show expertise in every creation you post, and your planes inspire low-pointers to work even harder to be just like you. Great work, high-pointers!
To the devs:
You made this game from scratch, same with this website. You made this game to have an amazing community and people still love it, even a year after release. What an achievement! You wanted players/users to learn while having fun! I definitely learned, and I thank you for that. You made this game successful, and I wish you the best as you continue to build this game and the community surrounding it.
To the mods:
You work hard every day to make this community the best it can be. You enforce the rules of SimplePlanes so others can have fun. You were lucky enough to be chosen by the devs, who made the game with nothing but a book, and a computer. Great work mods, keep it up!!!

@ACMECo1940 Nah sorry, I'd like to finish them myself. And I will, just not anywere soon...
Could you upload them in private? I'd would be happy to finish them for you (especially the train).@Teus
@ACMECo1940 I really want to, just can't find the motivation to continue my projects anymore. But there are two projects I'd like to finish one day. One's an ET-171. A retro german train (really beautiful if you ask me). The other is a Koenigsegg Agera (super car). So I might do those some time but I wouldn't count on it any time soon.
