@Brololxd I don't build stuff that already exists, and I'm very particular about it, so I won't make a livery of this any more.
It's fine; I still have many other projects.
@TheTomatoLover true.
This reminds me, when I was still silver (about 2000 points), I made a simpleTurbo Lines livery and somehow got 50 upvotes within the first 4 days.
And this popularity wasn’t because of my skill or thumbnail (the thumbnail font is really bad), but because it’s from TFS. (My other liveries at the time had 15 upvotes maximum.)
It shows that, a lot of the time, the “trendiness” or weirdness of something matters equally, or even more, than the effort put into it.
(why am I typing so much every single time lol)
@TheScrapyard I mean, from what I’ve observed, on the internet in general, quick, low-effort but “funny” stuff get viral much easily than actual good stuff, because gen z humour. (me fr)
On SP itself, a 50-part plane made with the most basic parts and covered in airbrakes has over 600 upvotes, for no particular reason. (Of course, I’m talking about the German Corsair.)
So yeah, that’s really just how it works. Gaining popularity is indeed about making things that are trendy, interesting and entertaining for a minute or two.
Although, for me personally, builds that I put effort into actually get a lot of attention. I don’t really know why, but I think it’s because I connected with those who share the same interests as me. (In my case, I build airliners and liveries, and I got to know a bunch of people who also like airliners, now they’ve become loyal supporters.)
It’s just my take on the situation, I really have no idea what your SP journey was like, so don’t take this too seriously.
Score: 14/15
This is an amazing livery, and it just took my breath away. The impressive build techniques, combined with a wonderful thumbnail, has really impressed me.
Congrats; I only give comments to the best liveries.
@windshifter1 a tip for making good hollow windows without having to go through all this trouble:
1. take a hollow fuselage piece, and set thickness to 100%. (set the shape to “Curved” to get optimal results, and adjust the size of the window first)
2. Use the “Advanced Fill” (under the bit with “Vertical Fill”) to cut the edges off the fuselage piece.
3. After cutting, you should end up with a square piece that has a circular hole. Voila, a window has been made, and even better, you can connect these window pieces to each other, saving lots of work!
This reminds me of that one time in primary school when half of my class decided to roleplay as guinea pigs and become each other's siblings/parents
(idk i just remembered it)
@TheScrapyard it applies to all other challenges too; if your build skills aren’t good enough, the chance of you winning any challenge is extremely low. That’s the point of a challenge; it’s to challenge your skills and make yourself better than everyone else.
Also, even if you’re a “nobody” (i.e. bronze/silver user), if your build is good enough it can still get a ton of upvotes. Look at this Su-30 made by a 0 points user (he got to silver because of his plane), or even this 90 part Soviet-like jet.
Also, challenges should be made using regular posts instead of forums, so that successors (if any) can be made from them

I start in the middle, because with my livery method the cheatline will be perfectly straight at the middle section of the fuselage
