To build a Replica requires effort. So the effort you put in your build is the amount of fame you get. People who build beautiful aircraft or something else (I seen it all) usually put a lot of time and effort into their creations. Also, it doesn’t have to be a replica.
You don't have to make replicates to "be famous", nor do you have to make replicas to get upvotes. It's just that the for designs to grab peoples interest, and gain you notice (and maybe upvotes) they have to have something interesting about them.
Now as people get more experienced with SP, and their skills improve, they will probably not find the same sort of designs interesting, and so won't be as impressed by the designs from a beginner or intermediate player. Just putting some wings and an engine on a design and getting it to fly doesn't impress them the say way it does to people who are new to SP.
Now replicas tend to be more detailed designs and just how accurate they are can make them more interesting.
Time to plug my stuff here Is something I'm working. It's not a replica. I made that stuff up in my mind bu just looking at a ton of different Pictures. So fictional. I Think it will get atleast 20 updoots. A tip is to post teasers. Then people will know what you'll get.
You are asking the wrong question m8

I like making replicas because i don't bust hundreds of dollars on PMDG, TFDI, CaptainSim, etc
Does a replica of a fictional spaceship count?

Of course you can make it; but to be fair replicas do seem to get more attention.
Every rule has an exception. @EternalDarkness
@Notaleopard I wouldn't go that far, they still have a place but they are too easy to criticise unnecessarily.
@RamboJutter
So is making Replica Cash(upvote) Grabbing?
I try to avoid replicas now, too unimaginative for my liking
Ummm
Personally, I have never worked seriously on a replica. (At least not after resizable fueselage blocks were released)
Lol these guys V
Oh my... I guess I'll never make it in this community then. I never build replicas :(
i've actually made a lot of planes if you look back on my account, only 2 of them are actual replicas
Not true
