Hi I am new to simple planes and I want to ask for help, What makes a good airplane people will like? And I also need help on my designs and what makes a cool looking airplane. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nibbly.

@denialofservice can you mod a fuel tank to have lots of fuel and be weightless?

Thank you so much for the help and tips I really appreciate them!
Just make what you think is cool. If you like it, other people will too. Don't feel forced to make any certain planes though. Just do as you do.
Well anything works really, if your doing replicas, try to make them as accurate and detailed as you possibly can, and if you want to do airliners I can probably help with them. Welcome to the game!
Just me, I find props to be a pain in the a-- to use. @OtterOfToast
@PINK I'm sayin' it's easier to start with prop aircraft .Really get the feel for simpler mechanics.
I started with a twin engine jet strike aircraft. @OtterOfToast
Welcome to SimplePlanes! If you need any help, feel free to tag me.
To get started, just mess around in the designer, find a theme or style to build with.
If you can get a craft to perform well AND look good, you've hit a jackpot. Fun to fly, and it looks the part.
First tip-- go for prop. Start out with something simple. A little prop plane with two wings, two horizontal stabilizers and a vertical stabilizer. Play around with positions, shapes and sizes and see, with what engines, works best. Tweak it and play around with it.
More propellers on the engine makes it go faster. Set HP all the way up and give it warbird props and you'll be golden for something nimble.
Next, make your wings semi-symmetric. This adds maneuverability and creates enough lift to keep you in the air.
Try basing your first real fighter off of one in real life-- the fuselage shape, wing shape and so on. this will give you an easy start, and something to work from.
Also, a good tip I've found is raise your tail a little bit higher that your wings. There will be more airflow over and under both so the wings don't cut off the air to the tail.
Don't worry about jets yet. Those come later.
Sorry for the wall of text-- if you ever want a few more tips, I've got so many sticky-notes :D
One that catches your eye
Like A ORIGINAL PLANE
Or a Ship
OR ANYTHING!!!
I want to thank you all so much for the support and help! It really helps me think outside the box!
If you try to build what you think other people will like, you will end up with nothing but disappointment.
Build what makes you happy, and it will make others happy as well.
And thanks for the support
@XxcreedexX are you sure?
