@CubingBub95 This is two thirds the size of the 737-700, and the windows and doors are way too big, making it look like a mega scale regional jet instead of a scaled down 737. That is the main mistake you made. The nose is also a bit inaccurate but that's minor.
@PapaKernels Grading time.
I don’t feel like giving detailed critiques for this, because of the obvious lack of effort that needs to be addressed in some places. The takeoff is risky at best because of the yawing and the plane constantly pitches down. Also, the pontoons and ailerons all have to clip through the wing for some reason. Not cool.

@Mandanbb8099 On iOS (idk about android, but it should be similar), you can find your save files in SimplePlanes>>AircraftDesigns. On a PC or mac, find it under unity.Jundroo.Simpleplanes>>AircraftDesigns.
@Mandanbb8099 Just plug your device into your computer with a usb cable and transfer the .xml save files over. If you don't have such a cable, you can email the files to your PC.
@Thebite1234567 Sure. Just make sure that plane is a successor of this post, and that you two get the plane in by the due time. 12pm UTC is 8am eastern time and 5am pacific time if you live in the US. This is when I will start grading.
@ParziParziTheVal @Jake_ I am too smart for both the apple and samsung photo editors lol. FYI, the apple photo editor only has 4 fonts. So I used Google Slides XD
@Thebite1234567 Yes, we all start from somewhere. Yet how we start from that somewhere is the question. Take time and effort to see other great challenges as examples first. And we will not do this for the chance of just one upvote.
@Hg1yt I am not reading all the comments to keep track of the entries. Sorry. You can tag a moderator like eternaldarkness on your post and request to change the auto credit so that the predecessor is this post. Also, if there are enough entries, there will be user categories so that you will only compete with fellow bronze users.
No yaw, too nose heavy, overkill acceleration, and flaps do nothing
Innovation - 20/30
So, a cool cap sun shade, but its structural integrity at high speed is another question. Also, the way you use the reverse thrust engine in decoration is interesting.
Design - 10/25
The fuselage is too boxy, the lights are incorrect, no custom wing, and the reverse thrust exhaust does not come out the inlet.
@nightmarecorporation you know, that's impossible. If I make a backyard ultralight today, you wouldn't know what it is and what it's called. Plus, you'd also have to name every single RC plane and heli ever lol
@ParziParziTheVal They do. Most twins do because if they spin in opposite directions, they will have to make what is essentially two different engines, since they'd have to be mirrored. Check out this video of an engine start, and skip to 0:25 and 1:10 to see which way the props on this Dash 8 spin.
The only exception I know of is the Airbus A400M. It is an advanced military quad turboprop cargo plane that have the engines on each engine spin toward each other. This is done so that the plane feels more like Airbus's jetliners and to increase the plane's reliability.
@Mandanbb8099 Mods are community-made alterations to the stock game. Don't confuse them with the moderators, who look after the website and are users with red badges that say Mod. Most players (including me) don't play with mods for the most part, and mobile users don't even have access to them. Therefore, to ensure fairness I am not allowing them with the exception of Fine Tuner and Overload, which have recently been added into the game for everyone.
@KnightOfRen OMG I didn't know your quality was not great until very recently...
This gives me more hope lol. I finally realize that even gold and plats make bad stuff sometimes (This is not an insult directed toward you, it is a general observation)
Good job with your recent quality improvement! Why should this silver noob say this?
@KnightOfRen lol I am entering this in your challenge. I hope this is up to your standard, since this is my most part count build. Yet even with this part count, there is basically no aesthetic detail here. I mean, I think this is one of my builds that didn't gain enough recognition for what it's worth. Also, you might be aware that I use custom thumbnails now. I made this on iOS before 1.10, and custom thumbnails were impossible on mobile before then because of lack of mod support. I hope you will wait a bit before you grade this thing because I will add to the description soon with some more detail and a photo gallery.
As a final note, I made this before 1.5k. Even though it wasn't that long ago, I did have lower standards back then. P.S. Since the competition is not that great, I hope I win. I think following will serve me well and I desperately need another follower. I don't really care about the 10 upvotes at this point since it only gets me 150 points. I might want it more if it gave me 1500 XD P.P.S. Ignore the lack of part smoothing. I made 90% of this plane even before the 1.10 beta released. I don't think it should count as a part of design because it is not a trick you use to make the plane look smooth. You just change it with a click of a button.
@Cabbage17 I hadn't tried the plane out yet (I'm writing this during recess between these torturous online classes XD), but it is realistic if the yaw is only there when engine thrust is applied. If the drag just happens to be higher on the left, then it's an unrealistic annoyance. You can probably simulate this if you put a hidden engine on the right side of the plane.
Also, FYI real GA planes correct for the torque by installing a fixed trim tab that automatically yaws to the right and installing the engine props off center and tilted sideways to the left. This corrects for the amount of torque with cruise speed and power, so you actually have to rudder yaw left at lower angles of attack and thrust setting. The opposite is also true, especially during taxi and takeoff roll (while taxiing, although the thrust setting is low, the rudder has almost no authority and thus is unable to correct). This is a simplified version of what I know as a student GA pilot, and I suggest you pin this lol NOTE: as far as I know, even lighter twins have the same effect, unless the props spin in opposite directions, in which case the two props counters the p-factor torque of the other engine. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@PapaKernels I have another question.
So If I have a photograph and I use the real image as the background and make a fuselage foreground, is that ok?
@PlanePlaneThe66373637 so what?
Eiro, you are very annoying.
"Oh, for us GOLD users"
respect new players. Do you want a bigger community or not?
@DPSAircraft ah you're back

I appreciate the effort, but you shouldn't pass anything off as a 737. This is a low-wing twinjet, but the similarities end right about there.
@DPSAircraft ok lol
+1also I got myself to 4k already XD
@NojusGindrenas read this
@PapaKernels oh ok
I may participate, but I don't know if I'll have time.
@PapaKernels So I can use a pic as a background?
@PapaKernels In this case, I was supposed to call it p-factor.
But prop wash is the current of air generated by a prop engine.
@ParziParziTheVal lol
@ParziParziTheVal Oh no I forgot to fix lights

Using the game or the website in ways not intended by the developers for your own personal benefit. Basically not anything you'd normally do.
@DefinitelyNotAnFBI Stop. We all know the link lol
@ParziParziTheVal thank you for the spotlight!

@PapaKernels The amphibian challenge closes tomorrow.

@KnightOfRen lol
If you don’t know, I’m on my discord server more now as I somehow got banned from spbc :(
@EternalDarkness I want to enter this in a challenge. Please make this a predecessor if possible
