@TASTEinc I can only give smaller bits of helpful tips, but I don't think I can give any revolutionary advice. How well your builds progress in quality ultimately depends on you. Nothing I say is going to revolutionize your builds instantly. It's taken me a year and a half to get to where I am now (in terms of building skills), and I still have a lot to learn.
@TASTEinc Well, I certainly wouldn't call myself qualified to tell someone how good or bad their build is.
I will say that I think you have great potential. If you put yourself out into the community a little more (make yourself a little more known), people will notice your builds more, and you will receive input and help from other users.
In my opinion, the best teacher in SP is your own experience.
If you're passionate about building and are constantly striving to build better, you will eventually achieve your goal.
From what I've seen, your doing pretty good. Just keep experimenting and learning and you will eventually get to expert level building.
@Hiimakeplanes I think it's a matter of making your thumbnails "pop". Typically you don't want your build to blend into the background. You also want to use fonts that compliment the build theme/screenshot (hopefully that makes sense).
I would recommend using Photoshop. Or, if you are unable to afford Photoshop, you can use Pixlr, which is essentially an online photoshop tool.
I use it for my screenshots. Here's an example: https://i.postimg.cc/qMQXvgfB/Nightswift-Thumbnail.png
That just means that a user wants to be tagged on your upcoming post.
For example: if I comment "T" on a teaser, the creator will tag me on the aircraft post with @TheFlightGuySP.
Adding a firingDelay attribute to the rocket pod via the XML editor should allow you to change the firing time.
The value is in seconds (seconds between each rocket firing).
@ColonelCanada They are likely using a fancy text generator. I belive it says at the bottom of the text formatting guide that strikethrough (along with a few other things) does not work on the website.
Problem#1: Flaps/Slats would probably fix that. Symmetric is the general choice for supersonic aircraft but is a bit unstable at high AoA (in my experience). It might also be the position of the CoM.
Problem#2: I would use a less powerful engine, and then just fly to higher altitudes for higher speed (this is more realistic).
Problem#3: Set the part type to Wing-2 in the XML editor.
@Bryan5 The current designation is E200, but that will change to E210 with the weaponized version.
I don't have an actual name for it yet, but I'm considering something like Nightswift or something on that order.
In other words, it's not necessarily inaccurate, it's just that the text labels require significantly more calculation than a basic block.
The extra calculation is mainly all the special variables and parameters associated with text labels. Rendering is also a little more complex, which adds to performance cost.
A single performance "point" is worth about 1 basic block. Fuselage components, as well as any other part that requires more calculation, has a higher individual performance cost. This is also coupled with the XML calculations of the aircraft, which can vary depending on variables, special functions, drag, etc. Edit: drag/collisions do not affect performance cost, just the performance itself.
Not every upload website works for the SP website.
I personally use postimages.org (if you use this, use the direct image link and not the normal image link), but Discord also works.
@MrCOPTY I can try. What is it that you need help with?

Looks to me like it needs an artificial stability system.

Imgur images don't work on the SP website. That's why you haven't been able to upload an image.

Perhaps a sailplane?

@WINGSIRON Glad I could help!
