Should I start making part efficient aircrafts?

Basically, 200+ parts = bad bad if you're phone is horrible. And the cockpits of my aircrafts are usually horrendous. So.. idk.

    @KatBapa20 for me personally, PEA improved my part efficiency, so if your target is that, then sure yeah?
    .
    otherwise PEA doesn't really teach you much of anything beside making full use of each part to it's limits, like I can do a somewhat decent low part VR plane replica if I felt like doing one but honestly I don't see much reason on why yet since that kinda beats the purpose of making it a PEA for me personally

    You see, building part efficient aircrafts sounds great in theory, however accurately building part efficient aircrafts is where it can get complicated when it comes to this, oh- not to mention that there are already too many "PEA" builders, where their own crafts aren't actually PEA, but basically like any beginner would build something like that.
    .
    So, i don't think it's good idea to start building PEAs as the only way to improve your building skills IF that's what you think It works. Nonetheless if this works, then good for you i guess😅

    @Monarchii yeah. I think PEA creators that know how to make them and do them to a good standard (like you) are good, but more low-quality ones or ones that can't count as PEA aren't so good.

    @Hooha12 true that. most of them don't even read the article of what and how to make a PEA, ESPECIALLY THE MAXIMUM OF 7 WINGS PART

    I don't say this a lot, and I don't like being mean, but PEA ≠ Low-part
    (and usually low-quality) Aircraft.
    .
    it doesn't really bother me, but I do have to take responsibility for plaguing SP with Low-quality planes for like a good.. half a year I think. my fault cuhh.
    .
    that being said, I think you're fiineeee, your planes are decent? just build what you enjoy, and ask if anything is lacking to the community
    .
    my approach to VR cockpit is.. maintain usability. in other words, ADD ALL INSTRUMENTS AND ARRANGE THE SYMETRICALLY! also maybe keep the more important instruments(speed, altitude, etc) close to center lol

    don't know why you say phones can't handle 200+ parts, I can easily handle up to 700. And also no, don't make low part aircrafts, there is enough "PEA" builders on this site already.
