If I were to give my two cents on the matter, both timing of release and looks of the plane are major factors of success. I've been blessed to get a very large number of upvotes for my ranking, but I think what really attracts people are primarily looks, details, lines, flashy liveries, colours etc, all the smaller stuff. You've also got to showcase them well, by that I mean taking a good first picture, the one that shows on the airplane screen. In some cases were you spend time on functionality (e.g. Turrets, landing gear etc), and less time on looks, sure those who are a bit more curious will appreciate that stuff, but most people won't mind whether it has that stuff or not, looks are the number one priority of most of the people here. If you're seeking more success in your planes, (which aren't bad might I add) you could look towards dressing up your planes in brighter colours (like what @Feanor said about the paint) and fancy liveries. And as always, things will mature like a nice cheddar, don't force it to happen instantly, otherwise you'd have some bad cheese on your hands.
Yeah, I have a sub assembly full of angled fusalages and have been using them on this build a fair amount. Anything else you might think would help?
@Shmexysmpilot
Quite a nice replica, though there is a small issue. The tail breaking off is because of the landing gear, the wheels must be "no clip" or otherwise it will bug out the fusalage. It will also mean that they will go in flush into the wings. During my early days, this was a common issue for me until someone told me.
Also, I was wondering after a while, why the elements you listed below were "bad" in your eyes? You've given areas you think look bad, but not exactly why.
@Grandmother
I can see where you're coming from, yes I wouldn't rate my building skills highly. But I can't do much on IOS. As always, thank you for your feedback. @Grandmother
I guess it was only used for 5 years. The speed is fairly accurate (within several mph). As for the paint job, I would but I don't like uploading several versions of a plane. If you want, you could do it yourself, it wouldn't be too difficult. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. @Flash0of0green
The nose gear steering can be fixed by rotating it around by 90°, I forgot to fix that. It's position is also off amd looks terrible, I might fix that at a later date. As for the flaps, yes I can see what you mean, I'm sure that making the LG covers smaller would fix that as well. Thanks for the feedback! @Luuk2909
Tagging it as "funny" is sort of derogatory and should be frowned upon on such a sensitive issue. You may see it as "funny", but I personally find it distasteful that a Concentration Camp is "funny".
That sounds like it would work but I'm on the lousy IOS platform, but I someone else managed to do it for me with no more issues. Thanks for the advice though, it'll prove useful at a later date. @Mrloominati
You missed the exhaust stacks on the side, a line ain't gonna cut. I also think your missing an inlet behind the prop. Other than that, very nice P-51D @SSGTWolf
Really well built, looks and flies great too. It truely is quite the work of art. Been looking forward to this from your teasers.
Thanks

I see you're new around here, welcome. By the way, quite a nice plane for your first build.

Blimey, that was quick, thank you
@MrVaultech
It'll get stuck on the different connection points, that's why I need someone to nudge it in so it doesn't register
@Lahoski107
On iOS, can't download it
@Lahoski107
Hmmm, might try it, see how it goes.
@spefyjerbf
I've heard about that, but are there any variants that produce sufficient lift?

I might consider it, seems very similar to this plane though, but it'll be something new
@AdrianFlyingAce
Did they?
I didn't see that in the update notes

@FearlessFabEngineering
Thanks for your help, shame the auto-roll is still here, but at least it's less pronounced.
Yeah, the title "SimplesPlanes" is a big lie, many of the planes aren't very "simple" @Mrloominati
I'm really not too sure, it was the vertical wing causing issues, I set the fusalage to no clip so maybe there's that @Mrloominati
Perhaps you should test the tag out on something else instead?

Whoops, though a yak with a wingspan of 120 feet would be a sight to see! @MechWARRIOR57
