@cmj3008 Calling out a mod because your upload is on the boundary of being classed as a copy is not petty, it's just decency. If you think someone might be violating the rules, you call in a moderator. They look into it and determine whether any rules have been broken... There is nothing petty about that.
.
The whole point of an upload is to improve upon the existing design. the rules even state "However, if your variation does not offer any improvements over the existing airplane, then it may be removed".
.
Your upload technically doesn't add anything to the original build. I assumed that maybe it flew despite the asymmetrical wings, however, you've just pointed out that you can't make things fly. You could argue that the guns do something, but then then it was decided that just adding a load of guns or engines is not an improvement. So strictly speaking, this upload is liable for removal, however I want to get to the bottom of the harassment case below before doing so.
@cmj3008 Please enlighten us as to why you think tagging a mod is petty. If Flightsonic feels he is being harassed - which you clearly are judging from your last post - then why shouldn't he tag a moderator? Also, I'm afraid I have to issue you a warning on the grounds of hate speech anyway due to your failure to abide by the site rules. However, I won't remove this post yet as your comment could have been a knee jerk reaction to flightsonic's comment.
.
@Flightsonic could you provide evidence for previous harassment? If so, I'll remove this upload.
.
@CALVIN232 Could you also provide evidence for harassment from Flightsonic?
@Anshrew that's because I removed the comment. I also happen to be able to see comments that have been deleted, so try not to deny something when the evidence is right in front of me.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation You think you could keep your opinions of others on this site to yourself, please? Hate speech is not tolerated on this site.
Depends what android phone you're going for more than anything.
.
If you want customisation, universal up to date tech and easy access for system level stuff, definitely go with android.
.
If you're not into in depth tech stuff, don't mind being boxed in, a little outdated and just want a good quality device that operates smoothly, has well integrated stuff and does the job, then go with apple.
.
Of course from a simpleplanes point of view, android is better, just for the modding aspect of it.
.
But like I say, it comes down to the devices you're choosing between more than anything else.
@Tully2001 if I was flying something with an ES in the title, then it will have been me. I also remember being on your server, so it probably was me.
.
@TheMajesticMrL Because that would probably be viewed as a discredit to those that made the mod.
@SteadfastContracting Still here. I'm still kind of active on the site. But I'm not making much because I'm working on a mod for the game. Was supposed to be released alongside the new site update with all the other mods, but then my project decided to delete half of the stuff after I imported an old map... Can't say I was too happy about it.
.
I've hit numerous problems since, half of which are probably to do with setting my personal goals too high. However, I'm making progress and it should be finished within the next two weeks.
.
Also, here's a bit of evidence
Your post has been removed. Please read these rules about posting planes.
Please try to make major changes to a plane before posting it. Simply painting an object a different color, or adding a few guns is not enough to consider it your own. In the future please credit the original maker, and try to post your own work.
I'm sorry, but this kind of thing doesn't belong on the site. If it was we'd probably be paying respects to the millions of innocent people that have died in Afghanistan, Syria, etc. This isn't a social media site and thus these "status" posts are not allowed.
If you do find someone disrespecting others, report it to a moderator and we'll handle it accordingly.
@The1ultimate1builder it doesn't look like you've changed the description at all with regards to both asking for upvotes and giving credit. Also, sorry for the late reply, I've been fairly busy as of recently.

We recommend tagging the YouTuber using the tag system (click the grey "Edit Tags" button), as it makes it much easier for YouTubers to find your plane!
Apologies. But this design fringes Honda's request not to have their vehicles on the site, so as a precaution, I've had to remove this along with your other Honda vehicle.
@Flakmagnet You're right. The two wheel designs are pretty much identical.
.
@The1ultimate1builder you have 24 hours to give credit on the wheel construction, failure to do will result in the upload being removed.
.
Edit, you've asked for upvotes so the upload is getting removed anyway as asking for upvotes is against the site rules.
@Flakmagnet I think you're being quite salty about thiin all honesty. I'm not sure why you feel like this was partly stolen from you. If you could link !e the build, I'll look into it, but ive seen many similar suspensions to this and I find it hard to believe they're all versions of "your" design.
@YuukaNeko three mods and a dev have said you're in the wrong. I think it would be wise at this point to accept what you did was wrong, you have also failed to address the points I and others have put forward, thus further reinstating that you're in denial.
@Mudkip Also, this I believe is your second warning. Failure to comply with the site rules again will result in further action. Worst case scenario, a permanent ban.
@Pilotmario Unless I remove them.
.
@Mudkip Less of the language please. All @Pilotmario did was provide some constructive criticism. To lash out like you did was uncalled for, even if the criticism was a little on the harsh side.
As a moderator, by contract I have to automatically agree with the other mods on this because @TheLatentImage is holding my family hostage and if I don't agree, he's going to send them back one envelope at a time.
.
In all seriousness though, I do agree with the other mods on this. You forum post stated that: "They'll never get upvoted by a Dev or a Mod". That's a sympathy card in my book to make people more likely to upvote your stuff through pity. You also appear to play another sympathy card in the form of: "and lord knows I'll never get one on the front page of the highest rated" which again anyone feeling pity for you will upvote your stuff because you're implying that they don't get enough attention.
.
Finally, your post states: "I want in my SimplePlanes career is to have one of my builds on the first page of the Weapons tag." It doesn't matter how you cut that, that is begging for upvotes. you want something to do well on the site and the only way of it doing well is to get upvotes.

@drdoom222 my account isn't called Squirrel, it's called Dark Lightning.
@drdoom222 yeah, hasn't got much on it though, why?
@Noughties you can't use mods on iOS
@MadMax13 No problem!
@Anshrew that's because I removed the comment. I also happen to be able to see comments that have been deleted, so try not to deny something when the evidence is right in front of me.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation thank you
@RussianAS Also, hate speech is not tolerated on the site.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation You think you could keep your opinions of others on this site to yourself, please? Hate speech is not tolerated on this site.
@RussianAS I actually think it's a nice improvement... far from mutilated.

@Flightsonic it's a while off yet. I keep thinking of new things, trying them, then run into problems. And the cycle repeats XD
@Flightsonic maybe, I'm still working on a project, so if I do, it might not be for long.
@Flightsonic figured it would save people rummaging through forum posts to find one!
@Flightsonic I think so. It wouldn't let me connect.

@Romansword13 I guess there's no harm in that, I'd suggest adding something unique to the build to be on the safe side though.

@MrMecha Thank you. I'm actually planning on remaking a few of my old designs... This one might just make the cut.
@CaesiciusPlanes ES-WB are planes with prop engines and no weapons except guns, bombs and unguided rockets. So no guided missiles or jets.
Tanks and cars come under "TS"
Helicopters come under "ES"
Sorry for the late reply. Have been working on a project recently (still am) which has taken up a lot of my time.

@moox123 less of the language please, it's against the site rules.
@BaconEggs No problem! Hope you enjoy the map!!
@BaconEggs odd. That's never a problem I've come across... Have you tried manually putting the mod into the folder?
@BaconEggs did you download it for android?

@nukemista1 Please refrain yourself from making comments like that as they are toxic and against the site rules.
@Smokehouse03 Stop the insults please. That kind of behaviour can land you with a ban.
Edit: by the looks of things it already has
+3@Tully2001 Spoke to another moderator, and he basically said the same as I did. If they're unlisted, then we don't have an issue with it.
