its rare that anyone actually builds a successor of one of mine, the last few have been either re-colours or added tons of guns for no apparent reason... i wouldnt mind a few decent successors though, so feel free people =)
@vcharng well I know I have lots of points but that's mainly because I have lots of builds which are upvoted by the same people (thanks peeps) but even I struggle for votes, look at my Canberra, it took ages was a scale replica and dodnt get much in the way of votes. People upvote what they see and what they like, I agree American builds tend to get more votes (probably due to large American player base) and I agree that votes dont reflect the effort put into a build but I also agree with James, if you dont maximise your planes 1st picture (the one everyone sees) then you arnt going to get the clicks (look at all the click bait on the web, if it looks pretty people click regardless of the content). I have had similar discussions in the past, one person on here was publishing about the same as me when we where gold but he was limited by using an iPad which penalised presentation and thus upvotes regardless of how epic the build was, unfair - yes. We quickly came to the conclusion, build what you enjoy, if it gets updoots great, if not so what. Ps james always gets double my upvote points but hey ho. (Pesky newzealander :) )
@Diloph thanks, it's strange how you naturally develop a style, I can see what other people do and why, yet my builds just follow my own way of doing things.
@CRJ900Pilot @BroAeronautics @MontyPython thanks for the comments and upvotes, its certainly unique, I can see the resemblance to the ascender but this is different in almost every part - compare it to a bearcat however...
@NightmareCorporation dont worry about it, mine seem to struggle for votes at present as well, just build for fun, if people upvote then great. I do admit its strange how a flag can get more votes than a detailed aircraft but hey ho.
@Irobert55 You sir, then have a distinct advantage in the use of the german language =) I have amended it accordingly, if i later find out its a german swear word I shall be tickled and not evenly slightly embarrased.
@Irobert55 i used google translate and it had airborne mortar as Luftmörtel. The second o was because SP didnt recognise the german letter while in game and displayed it as blank.
@Tang0five you and me both, dont get me wrong it wont stop me building what I fancy, it just irks me when I've spent so long on something for it to "slip under the radar" sort of speak (pun intended)
@Tang0five wow, 23 upvotes on my 1000part x32 ripoff... that's a bit of a kick. I wonder whether it just didnt appeal to the masses (well it's not a f105 or f15 is it) or if I just caught everyone asleep.
@Tang0five washes, oh my, everytime I buy them they sit on the shelf and by the time I want them they have dried up... I have a tendency to get some built ready for paint and then abandon them for a year or 2 but so far so good this time. I finished an ac130, p47, f15 and hellcat that I had "floating" about and then built a whirlwind, mustang, gnat, hawk, jaguar, x32 and x35. Now I'm waiting for my humbrol delivery of varnishes :) I've built more in this lockdown than I have in the last 4 years.
@Tang0five not sure it might have been, it has slowed my building down, i have 2-3 almost finished builds that i tinker with from time to time. To be fair i have been enjoying the lockdown and have been tinkering with some of my plastic kits again, im no modeller thats for sure but i enjoy it and its nice to get some of them out of boxes and on the display shelves lol
@Tang0five your not wrong, I also notice that if you are not one of the top 5 users then votes are more difficult to get, if boggy posts something he gets 60 plus guaranteed but that's just the way the cookie crumbles :) What's been getting me of late is how much I'm fighting the program, buts keep detaching, moving or plain disappearing without my direct input, not to mention how the parts keep forming random connections...
@asteroidbook345 @Mustang51 thanks again for the comments and upvote, this one sat around for ages before I got around to posting it, I just wanted a bit of a bomb truck :)
@AWESOMENESS360 hes posted a couple if things but I try not to build too much of his, jimbowyrick actually posted pics of my builds on his page so I dong think he minds :)
@Justadood they are just so annoying on the game when pistons just move and do what they want... thanks though, I might re-visit this concept at somepoint
@Tang0five whoops, nearly missed this... I suppose my eyes have been too full of Canberras of late. This looks mighty impressive though, that scheme must have taken ages.
@Tang0five Thanks! That original Canberra was my breakthrough build I feel, it was a MK1 eyeball build as well. I cant believe how difficult an accurate one was to make =)
@rexzion depends if the plane was ugly to start with. Look at my last build, I used blueprints if a hawk gor the fus and blueprints of a provost for wings then combined them, works for me :)
@jamesPLANESii Do you mind if i use your engine start formula please? I really struggle with the funky stuff.
@BogdanX Thanks for the comments, glad you liked it, congrats on getting to number 1.
@Nertiartw I out the photo into DISCORD first then use that link.
Sometimes complicated planes.
+6@CptJacobson ah, that would explain why I cant see it or remember it.
@CptJacobson it says there are 2 successors but when I click the page is blank. Is it private?
@CptJacobson I didn't see that (or cant remember anyway), will go take a look. I made a light attack plane out of one of James' Cessnas :)

@Oofsomeplanes there is a mod for it, let's you set it at any colour you want
@Zoowarp yes :)
+1@asteroidbook345 yeah I've used that before, I just wondered if there was a neater way to link vtol and throttle. Thanks though
@Type2volkswagen thanks man, glad it surprised you :)
@Diloph thanks, it's strange how you naturally develop a style, I can see what other people do and why, yet my builds just follow my own way of doing things.

+1@nadvgia @Alexander31 @Mustang51 thanks, glad you liked it, a backwards bearcat is unique at least :)

@Irobert55 Thanks, shows you how reliable google translate is then =)
@Irobert55 i used google translate and it had airborne mortar as Luftmörtel. The second o was because SP didnt recognise the german letter while in game and displayed it as blank.
@Hedero yep, mk22 spit wings.

I couldn't get away with sr2 at all, I just found the user interface, menus etc to awkward. Mby I'm just too used to sp.
@AWESOMENESS360 hes posted a couple if things but I try not to build too much of his, jimbowyrick actually posted pics of my builds on his page so I dong think he minds :)
@Starbound lol wot, it has 3 engines and is faster that real life spitfire...
@ArcturusAerospace sorry, I have way too much on at present, not getting much time for sp.
I just break each letter down into multiple parts so you can bend them around the shape.
+1@Justadood they are just so annoying on the game when pistons just move and do what they want... thanks though, I might re-visit this concept at somepoint
@Sutairs I use the blueprint mod, I add a screenshot to it then "photo" the screenshot when uploading.
+1@Mumpsy thanks, glad you liked it.
@Diloph yep, when u right click an image on DISCORD you get the option to copy the link.
Eh? As in collisions true or false?
@Tang0five whoops, nearly missed this... I suppose my eyes have been too full of Canberras of late. This looks mighty impressive though, that scheme must have taken ages.
+1@Diloph just 
+1@Diloph which pic?
@Tang0five oh man I didn't realise the designer suite wasnt on iPads etc.. that's a shame really, it can be quite handy.
@ChisP thanks :) its certainly one if my more accurate replica builds.
@Diloph I have a walkthrough here if it helps, it's just a bit of paneling with a bit of forethought as to shape etc.
@ChiChiWerx thanks, I'm grateful for your comments and feedback - it always helps to know I'm doing something right :) glad you liked it.
@Hedero @Trainzo thanks for the votes and comments.
@Avro683Lancaster sorry I read the B(I)8 as B1, my bad :)
@Tang0five Thanks! That original Canberra was my breakthrough build I feel, it was a MK1 eyeball build as well. I cant believe how difficult an accurate one was to make =)

@Thanksgivingdin cool, thanks, enjoy.
@ND40X that's exactly what it is, hawk fuselage with provost bits, I thought it looked similar to an l39 albatross in the end.
