One, it doesn't matter how many tags you put on your build, if it has fewer than ~100 upvotes it won't show up in the first few pages, so there's no point.
Two, people who download the aircraft after the first few days almost never upvote it, so there's no point.
@Freerider2142 Thanks. I just wish there were more things to blow up, though. Some ammo/fuel dumps would be nice. Maybe even some nuclear power plants...
If you don't want to upvote it, I'd rather you not comment either.
Logical, articulate, concise.
And this was my response to his "point":
Surely it's my right to choose whom to interact with? If someone thinks my builds are not even worth an upvote, I explicitly have no interest in them or anything they have to say.

I have as much of a right to comment on your builds as you do.
Then why is there an option to remove comments? That fact implies that the developers think some comments are worth removing.
You're a mod and I can't remove your comments, so feel free to pollute my posts with them. I'll just block them. With a script :)
Try building something from scratch without your script once in a while.
More unsolicited advice.
Over time, it becomes less impressive, so people need to be reminded of what you're actually capable of without a script.
Oh, and who are you to decide what people need to be reminded of?
If someone thinks what I do isn't impressive, they're free to not upvote my builds. And I'm free to not like them, or to not respond to them, or delete their comments, or block them.
@CRJ900Pilot Oh, right. Totally forgot to mirror the landing gear. I was wondering why it was canted to one side upon spawning. The pitfalls of building airplanes using code...
Thanks, @Treadmill103. The B-17 has always been the most beautiful WW2 bomber to me. Working with prop engines in SP is a pain, though. Apparently they're not rigid bodies, but move all over the place...
Well, what are you trying to achieve? If you actually want people to even look at this, let alone try it, maybe make it more interesting than a tilted skinny tube?
@Hedero What I said still applies. Just because a few other people uploaded P-38s, regardless of who started first, why should that affect when you choose to upload yours?
@Hedero Generally, I don't recommend letting other people's actions drive yours. Just because a few (or a lot of) people are doing something doesn't mean you should follow suit....
@SupremeDorian Since when is expressing a personal preference interpreted as a rule?
Also, I have no desire to have any interaction with you whatsoever, so unless I do something that requires mod intervention, I'd appreciate it if you could leave me alone.
@Planeboi49620 That would be worse than using pistons, you'd have unconnected bodies inside your aircraft. And what happens when momentum and/or air resistance push the moving bit back inside the cavity? Add more engine power?
@CRJ900Pilot Well, the most a piston can do is a spike that moves to and fro, like the SR-71's inlet spikes. If you want something that smoothly changes its contours, you need parts that translate without affecting physics (so pistons won't do).
@Wakescar Sure thing, bud.
@VVMC I'll think about it.
@Amazjul Well, considering how new you are, you did a pretty good job.

Not bad, but flight handling has taken a big hit.
Thanks, @Trainzo
@Shippy456 Nope, not the first, but thanks anyway.
@CRJ900Pilot 'cause you said "mate." Is it a US thing now?
@FuriousChicken Glad you like it.
Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot. You from the UK or AU by any chance?
@Freerider2142 Thanks. I just wish there were more things to blow up, though. Some ammo/fuel dumps would be nice. Maybe even some nuclear power plants...
@AWESOMENESS360
Actually....
Also....
And out of my 4 previous uploads, 3 have props and landing gear. Do try to keep up :)
Thanks, @XAircraftManufacturer
Thanks, @KrAkenAtomic
@Gbhole I had to Google "chamber of secrets," so... no.
@KrAkenAtomic Thanks :)
@Makerofplanes Airbrakes.

Hope that helps.

@ACEPILOT109 You get it :)
@CRJ900Pilot Yeah, fun is more or less my guiding principle in SP, as in life :)

Go to Google image search, and try searches like the following:
Well, what are you trying to achieve? If you actually want people to even look at this, let alone try it, maybe make it more interesting than a tilted skinny tube?
@anonymoususer976 The book is full of interesting details like that.
@anonymoususer976 I'm not a fan of prank builds. This one crashed the game when I tried to load it in the sandbox. I doubt many people will like that.
@99807 For good reason...
@Hedero To each his own, I guess.
@99807 It's not an exact replica. I left out quite a few things to keep the part count below 800.
@Hedero That seems counterproductive, then. Surely it's better to wait a while so your P-38 will be fresh?
@Hedero What I said still applies. Just because a few other people uploaded P-38s, regardless of who started first, why should that affect when you choose to upload yours?
Thanks, @Treadmill103. I've wanted to add this Kelly Johnson design to the stable for a while.
@Hedero Generally, I don't recommend letting other people's actions drive yours. Just because a few (or a lot of) people are doing something doesn't mean you should follow suit....
@BuiltBionixInd10 Yeah, can't go wrong with black.
@DarDragon Smooth curves require a lot of parts. I suggest you use the X-ray feature to reveal the structure of the build.

Glad you like it, @Belloaka
Thanks, @CRJ900Pilot
@Thefuriouschicken Because it's fun.
@Belloaka It does, it's just not very strong. You can yaw at around 1 degree/second.
@Sirnubenegra Thanks.
Thanks, @Treadmill103. What are the air gates?
Thanks, @Bendabomb
@Brendorkus Well, they are quite useful.
Thanks, @switdog08

@CRJ900Pilot Really? I had no idea... : )
@CRJ900Pilot That would be cool, but to do that we need a part that translates linearly, like a piston.
