My Thanks for 'Silver'

4,165 Formula350  2.6 years ago

MANY SILVER.
SO SPARKLE
MUCH WOW!

I've been wanting to create something now for a few weeks but couldn't really think of what to do... Then, out of the blue this morning, right after shutting off my alarm to wake up, this came to me!
First, to use the plane that pushed me over the line from Bronze into Silver.
Second, miniaturize it around a sphere, representing the globe.
Third, to motorize it, so that it flies around the sphere! It's simple, but then again, this is SimplePlanes after all :D

Thanks to not only everyone who updooted my work, but also thanks to everyone who downloaded them!
Whether you liked them or not, in the end it piqued your interest enough to at least check it out, and that still matters to me ;)

ON TO GOLD!!

[P.S. Throttle to make it go do its thing. I even left the cannnon functional, because why not!]

    @Vincent Could you please remove this submission as a Successor to CaptainSkylark's WWI Challenge?
    It was an oversight on my part, and didn't mean for it to be.
    Thanks! :)

    @CaptainSkylark Yea I apologize Mahadi, that was my fail....
    I used the plane that was my entry as the starting point, having completely forgotten that it would've also been tied to your challenge. That was not my intention, sorry for the confusion.
    Do you, or anyone know, if SP Moderators are able to modify that sort of thing w/o me having to delete and re-upload this??
