Since time immemorial have we seen Spiritus break milestones.
The first player to reach 50k, 75k, 100k, 150k, 200k, 250k. Since the very beginning of the game, he has been known as our king, our alpha.
However, there came a new challenger: A tiger. (Who later became a flower. Metamorphosis, people!) This vicious beast (and later gentle plant) tore through everyone until he was at the top, just behind the Raptor. The raptor, knowing that his time had come, gracefully accepted defeat. The metamorphosed flower, now the alpha of SP, is now on the verge of breaking one of the greatest records of all time- The first user to reach 300k points.
P.S. I was bored to death (as I usually am these days, what with the current situation around the world) and decided to write some random stuff. Don't be mad.
P.P.S. Why are y'all flaming at @BogdanX? He is a great player, a great builder and deserves the rank.
Real wings first to get the shape, then model the custom wings on top of them, then delete the real wings and add them at the end to tune flight performance.
I'm gonna be blunt, I'm gonna be clear, and I'm just gonna repeat what @jamesPLANESii said but in a more assertive manner:
Your thumbnails are B-A-D: "What? How? It has custom text! It has a custom background!"
Well, a lot of planes now a days DO have all those. Look at two of my planes, for example: My MiG-21 Bison and My HT-03 "Funky Flier". Why do they both have 40+ upvotes? It's because the aircraft fills the thumbnail. The text is secondary. Even though the latter craft essentially has a 2012 YouTube thumbnail, the first thing people see is a well-taken photograph of your aircraft. You don't even need it to have 90% coverage, but you need to ensure that people can see it. The issue with your plane is that the thumbnail is bland. It neither gives a good view of the craft, nor does it have any clickbait-worthy stuff (although that's unethical, it works.)
You don't advertise!: "What? But I made teasers and... well, that's all I did."
That ain't enough. You gotta let people know that you are making a beautiful craft they need to upvote, and for that, the best place is the SimplePlanes Builders' Chat discord server (I'll link it if you want.)
As for your yOu NeEd tO bE fAmOuS oR yOu wOn'T gEt AnY uPvOtEs nonsense, and yes, it is absolute nonsense, how do you think I got the upvotes I did on both my planes? You think I'm famous, or a member of the Masters chat? On the contrary, I was one of the most infamous users 3 years ago, before I left the game.
It doesn't matter what plane you make as long as you make it well, advertise it well and have a good thumbnail, therefore, whilst meme posts will still exist and will continue to get upvotes, ignore them. Why do you care if the other guy gets more upvotes than you? This isn't a race to be the top, and don't make it one.
Thus, stop whining and start doing something. Instead of taking in the feedback people are giving you, you are enforcing your points like some obsessive maniac who believes he's the only one who's right. My words sound harsh, but they're absolutely true.
The sheer amount of detail is incredible. I can see that you've worked extremely hard towards making this masterpiece. Well done, my friend. Well done.
@abhishektyagi055 Who knows? The Pakistani government says no, Indian government says yes, the US government didn't do any official numerical count on the F-16s. I don't want to start any political debates here mate.
@Parshainaerospace Remember the Balakot strikes? The ones wherein we supposedly struck some terror camps across the border (I am not here to debate the authenticity, only that it was an incident that occurred)? We used Mirage 2000s. Then Pak sent some F-16s (apparently, this again is not open to debate, it's all disputed) and we lost the MiG.
@vcharng I think that would be a little far fetched, considering the T-tail and the canopy bars (not in the screenshot, but it's got canopy bars), wings with the slight upward rise and that obnoxiously wide inlet.
@Zokowi you shouldn't multi-select all the parts at once. You need to uncheck the box that says "scale selected parts only". Then type in whatever value you want and bam.
Hey, uh, could you possible delete this post, QZ? That's the first thing that pops up when one searches DarthAbhinav on the internet, and I kinda don't want that.

+4@BeryllCorp You're very welcome, and a job well done, mate.
+1The sheer amount of detail is incredible. I can see that you've worked extremely hard towards making this masterpiece. Well done, my friend. Well done.
+1I am not a fan of anime, but I can't ignore the work that's gone into this. My favourite part is the eye. Those are very well done, almost mystifying.
+3If you could comment that you want to be tagged on this post or upvote it, it'll be easier to keep track. Thanks, :D
@Abhishek700 Indeed, I am a proud Indian.
+2@abhishektyagi055 I'd like to end the topic here, thanks.
+2@Abhishek700 Anytime mate. This is well done. I myself am working on a mirage right now, XD.

+1Nah fam, the best STOL is when you deploy 50 parachutes whilst landing.
I'm here even before it was fully published
+1@EpicPigster1 it'll handle like a Mirage F1, I promise 😛
@EpicPigster1 better than Crusader-🅱️?
@Spassoup how is plene?
@Sadboye12 Lol, thanks, haha.
+1@Sadboye12 Anytime, mate. Also, shameless advertisement inbound.
Thank you for the upvote, @BogdanX.
Wosh, @F4f879.
@BuiltBionixInd10 Should work now, mate.
@Inviticus Those were dark days, we do not speak about them. :P
+1@Brendorkus haha, indeed.
@Sadboye12 anytime.
+1I hath upvoted this.

+1@Indecision Yeah, I got that a lot. I'm redoing the wings entirely.
@KrAkenAtomic Thank you very much.
+1@vcharng I think that would be a little far fetched, considering the T-tail and the canopy bars (not in the screenshot, but it's got canopy bars), wings with the slight upward rise and that obnoxiously wide inlet.
+1You're crying and vomiting? Damn, you sure are sad.
+1@QingyuZhou has made some BEAUTIFUL airliners with interiors and everything. Check him out. Link
+3H a p p e B i r t h d a e

I've saved all of your builds posted during the period when my DarthAbhinav account was still active.
Reminds me of Edward Kenway's Jackdaw, tbh. One of my favourite game protagonists.
@Strucker Oh, lmao.
+1Ay, you're learning the subtle art of logo-making.
@Brendorkus builds made by platinum and late gold players don't get featured.
The featuring system in itself is to help newer players gain attention to their extraordinary builds.
@Zokowi you shouldn't multi-select all the parts at once. You need to uncheck the box that says "scale selected parts only". Then type in whatever value you want and bam.
@Zokowi Fine Tuner. Literally takes 2 seconds.
@IndoSP Literally no one on the website uses the default paint scheme due to the lack of flexibility it provides.
@QingyuZhou Lmfao! I thought you had figured the part about me being Darth out, haha. Nice to meet you again.
@QingyuZhou well, I certainly would want to wipe out this part of my history mate. If you haven't ready my bio, I'm Darth.
Damn, I remember these. Brings back memories.
Hey, uh, could you possible delete this post, QZ? That's the first thing that pops up when one searches DarthAbhinav on the internet, and I kinda don't want that.
Thanks!
You didn't even make the monitor and keyboard. Wtf is this, mate. This barely deserves 50 upvotes, forget 270.
+2RELEASE THE BUILD ALREADY REEEE
@Belloaka uhm, that essentially means you're posting more precious metals. Anyway, I'm not here to argue.
+1@CenturiVonKikie Yeah! I thought it looked like one of Sos' unlisted posts. Not the same one, but build style is close enough.
