For me, upload threshold is much lower for lower level users. Basically, if the build made by bronze user I upvoted was made by a gold user, I wouldn't upvote. Now, that doesn't mean I'll upvote anything a white user uploads. Today, I have stumbled across this. The guy was white when he posted it. That's a good build worth recognition. I can't know how much you have worked on a build if I can't see that work when looking at the build.
My other point: don't rush it. I got my first upvote on my fifth build. You have posted two, and you want to be what, platinum? Take it easy. Experiment, explore building methods, and enjoy building, not counting upvotes. Then, over time, recognition will come. Or gain recognition this way. You wouldn't be the first one. There are many forum kings about who we often talk on various chats. Can't build a decent plane if their life depended on it. Guys who are in it just for points. The guys who never make it into closed groups for good builders.
Since you are new, I'll give you some useful tips. I haven't noticed any XML edited parts during my quick checkup of this build, so I'll start with that. XML editing is modifying parts in the ways you can't normally do in the game. You can do that by accessing game files, or, more easily, through Overload mod. Here are some useful inputs. Unfortunately, you can't edit color through Overload. So, we have Color Editor mod. There's also Fine Tuner mod, older and more accurate version of the stock rotation tool, that also allows you to scale parts, or even an entire build.
If you need any more tips or other help here, feel free to ask.
@Lele182 looking at this model, I believe you. You obviously know stuff about PC-6. If you keep this level of quality on your future builds, you'll get very far very quickly. Welcome to the community.
Very nice, especially for your level. I see quite a few details on it. Only advice I can give you is related to posting planes. Take time to write a description, and use all three screenshots you can for upload.
@BlazeInfinity under dictatorship that enforces 5 day work week instead of 6 day one common everywhere else, 8h shifts, large salaries, full freedom...? Just because you can't vote for a new government, doesn't mean that the current one is bad.
@BlazeInfinity eh, you do understand that Somalia is still decentralised. It would be safer and more functional as a part of a powerful and well organised country?
@Geebers thank you. That was the whole point of this build, kind of. I saw an article about Ropucha class ships, and decided I need something like that.
@Homemadeforthepros still, posting a copy is not nice. I myself don't pay much attention, but some users go ballistic over them, so I always advise against them.
@Bohemie copying other people's planes is not nice. My friend Spefy, original builder, has invested effort into making this build. Copying is also against the rules, and this post will probably be removed. I understand that you like this build and want to share it with more people, but this is not a way to do it. Please, make your own builds. That's the best way to become popular in this community.
I didn't have the time to leave a comment earlier, when I upvoted. This looks amazing. Looking at that rounderl I can see you are investing a lot of work into this build. I can't wait to see more of it.
@Solarisaircraft I like them too. Unfortunately, I probably won't make one. An ocean liner would have to be around three times bigger than this build, and have a lot more parts. My device simply can't handle that. Maybe look at some builds by Planefun. He has some large yachts that look like small liners, and an unfinished ocean liner.
@FGW2014 overboard? If you mean in terms of part count, that is a problem with big ships. If I keep part count low, the ship looks blank. 200m2 of deck here, 300 there, another 200 over there... I have to put things there.
@PyrusEnderhunter eh, we placed empty chopped up containers over the guns. Pull the string, and they fall in the water. It might have something to do with the public announcement a week earlier that transport ships will make an unescorted pass through pirate infested waters, and M.Corp officials not liking pirates XD
Tag me on your bus in 10-15h. I should be free around that time. Or do it yourself if you can. Reduce "maxAngularVelocity" of in their XML files (accessible through Overload).
@Stellarlabs such was the situacion. I bought the game as soon as I could. For both platform I'm using. Consider it more of a free trial period. Once I was sure I want to have the game, I found a way to buy it.

The engine would have to suck on the orange part and light up the white part. Or does orange part represent the burning part?

@CeeToTheZee lol
@CeeToTheZee I edit codrScale (width of the blade) to a number bigger than 7. If you go deeper, you need wider blades.
@CeeToTheZee why? The main point of all this is to not feel like that.
@CRJ900Pilot they are supposed to rotate out with Ag1, with all other weapons.

+1@BogdanX the vehicle might not be that big, but the shell sure is. It would weigh around 100kg.
It also flies very well. You have impressed me. And, for two years of me being in this community, not many people have managed to do that.

+3@MisterT then it must be the image quality on my phone. I'll have to take a better look when I get home :)
When I saw your previous Spitfire teaser, I thought "you can't improve the perfect". I stand corrected. Maybe you can also make custom ailerons?
Use "Search" option. Many people have made Nyan cat.
Exceptional work. This plane is so smooth and well-made, I'd say a gold level user made it. It also flies very well. Good job.
@Dllama4 thank you. I'm glad you like it :)
@BlazeInfinity yes. Tag devs
@BlazeInfinity that's nice, Chase. But I'm very busy these days. I had twelve hours of work today. I'll probably have a lot more time from Sunday on.

@Botfinder you can delete spools of rope. They are around 20 parts each. There's some other stuff that are there just for looks.
@FGW2014 you can try smaller ships. Problem with big ones is detail per square meter. Don't put enough, and it looks empty.
+1@BlazeInfinity well, an empire needs territory.
@FGW2014 why can't you build like me? Device limitations? Otherwise, just put some thought into finding ways to do stuff, and there you are.
@Solarisaircraft I might do that. I'm very busy these days, but I'll added to my list of possible projects.
@BlazeInfinity because you can use LST like a cargo ship or troop transport, but you can't use either one as LST.

@Davisplanez lol. My laptop was close to its limit on this one.
@Davisplanez thanks
@ThomasRoderick LST, basically. Main inspiration was Ropucha class
+1Why risk lives of marines when the guns you see are (in real life) effective at the range where pirates can't shoot back?
+1@F4f879 thank you. I hope you'll get a computer with SP on it.

+2@Tully2001 it's actually so awesome, it bends light passing by it.
@IisFailing no problem
+1This is a very nice ship. Good job.
+1@Joco80 thanks
@CoolPeach thank you
Yay, I made headlines :)

The philosophy behind my online conversations is that everything can be said in a polite way.
