    @FeatherWing
    Thanks! I played around with having a functional cockpit for the first time with this. It should work in VR, too!

    Regarding your advice - you are totally correct. But I never can be arsed with all the "marketing" that comes with posting up a build.

    I generally build for myself and dont really care if I get only a few upvotes. Its the folks who download that I really appreciate. The folks who care to drop me a line and let me know if its any good or not are even more appreciated (so many thanks for that!)
    Ive started now playing around with making better thumbnails, though (see my 25 part mig 15).

    Looks pretty nice, but you need more in the ways of photos.
    You especially need a better thumbnail as it just doesn't make the build stand out. The only thing that stands out to me in said thumbnail is the missiles because of the contrast. Improving these small things can go a long way.

    @Tang0five Thanks ever so, old boy.
    After a few years of job upheaval and general mind fuckery, my life is approaching something of a period of stability. This is good. It also means that I have time to do the things I enjoy - namely WoT Blitz and Simpleplanes. Glad that youre still here and that you remember me :-)

    @Vincent

    Hello old chap. Is there any chance you could arrange it so that this is a successor to this?
