You get points via posting forum posts, planes and mods and having people upvote them. Mods get more points per upvote than planes which get more than forum posts. Honestly though, you shouldn't worry about points, they really don't matter...
You could make a challenge involving performance: time in a race, smoothest landing, shortest takeoff.
Of course, these aren't always the best option though seeing as most challenges judge off looks, a challenge based entirely on performance could be unique...
E is the 5th letter of the English alphabet. It is also the most commonly used letter in the language. E is a vowel. Ethylenediaminetetraacetate, a material used in manufacture, has 7 'e's in it, making it the word with the most Es.
Due to how SP physics works, you can literally spam airbrakes all over your plane and it will stop very quickly...
The simplest way though is probably just to use 1 or 2 large parachutes deployed on landing.
You could also go overcomplicated and try and design a thrust reverser system, really it's up to you.
@Mustang51 I don't use joystick in simple planes, though I might start using one actually. I'd always figured the controls would be far to twitchy and there isn't really a need. Does sound fun though.
One suggestion that I think would be simple to do and look nice would be bullet holes!
May decrease performance with too many though, so adding a despawn with too many or after some time wouldn't hurt.
@diegoavion84 Cool! As others have pointed out the cockpit windows are slightly too large, however I personally don't think it makes a large difference.
Is there a paticular B-25 that you based this off? I'm struggling to find a Mitchell with both red cowlings and white stripes on the wings. Also, have you considered modding the health of certain parts of the aircraft to account for the armour protection for the crew? I really love the design so far, but seeing as you wanted some feedback, I gave what I could.
Alright what you'll want to start with is this, but without spaces.:

In between the curved brackets, put your image link. As a demonstration, right click on a google image, and click open image in new tab. Then copy and paste that link into the curved brackets. Hope this helped!
Are you on mobile? If not, then I suggest using a mod called overload which allows xml modding of the gyros, allowing power beyond normal limits. If you are on mobile, then multiple gyros should work...
Also, is anyone else getting different vibes from each logo?

If you were to fly a plane into a hurricane (don't try this at home), wouldn't the winds be strong enough to give the aircraft lift, without the aircraft actually moving?
If I'm to be honest, 1.8 suggestions are really quite a futile effort, but then I'd be adding nothing to this post. I like the idea of option 3, however option 1 and 2 would most likely require a full recode of some of the game, which isn't really realistic if you ask me...
congrats i guess
+1As much as I hate to say it, it seems like SP is slowly but surely dying...
+1Let me know if your house burns down okay? :D

How does this thing fly so slow with those tiny wings?!

+1This wouldn't make the best promotional advertising for a tank...
+1It's modern, sleek and advanced... Oh and it's expensive...
+1Really expensive...
@GenericWhiteGuy I thought we were just listing suggestions lol.

+1So the closest aircraft I could find was the Tupolev Tu-16R Badger...

+1@Gvb2003 Yes, a mod called overload. It's on the website and is by far the best tool for xml modding within the game. Here's the link.

+1Hmm, reminds me of good 'ol Nigel.
+1I wonder if we can get this aircraft to beat the upvote record.
+1If anything can, this is it.

1000 more and you might be able to take a screenshot :)
+1On the other hand, I'm getting dangerously close to 1000 hours in War Thunder...
@SimplePlanemaker12654 I always support improvement, keep on building!
+1The cockpit is nice, however the wings and tail are out of proportion.
+1The only option here is yes.
+1Cool! I really wanted someone to build a hunter on the website.
+1Did you fix the issue of mid-air disintegration on the real one?
+1@FastDan Gold build, we demand it! :)
+1Very nice for just 277 parts.

+1Looks good and flies good; really nice! Just one or two nitpicks:
Other than that, superb! Especially like the gun recoil simulation.
