@Rb2h Well, I just put down my idea on a piece of paper anywhere I found before I forgot my thoughts- and as you said, my sketch must be bent. It is just a 5-minute sketch. and very loose. If I want it serious I use Adobe Illustrator.
@QuesoAirlines Thanks for your comment. My idea comes like this: - The main pontoon has to be lowered while landing and takeoff, so the same to the wing tip floats to reduce the drag. Which I did not mentiones in the sketch.
@MAHADI Low part counts don't mean bad, and there are some planes made out of thousands of parts, but just garbage. That's why. Besides, I used to give a spotlight to a nice build during the challenge. And I could not post a spot at that time.

@BYardley I found your SOPWITH CAMEL proportions impressive, but adding two miniguns felt out of place for a WW1-era plane. Unlike modern aircraft like the A10 Thunderbolt, these planes typically had minimal armament. Plus, synchronizing miniguns to avoid damaging the propellers would be quite challenging. The F1M2 made by @Mk1Els took precedence over your design. Remember, this is just a game, and I hope everyone, including myself, can have fun and learn something from it.
Great job with your PEA staff, but I missed your nice shots with the detailed builds. Well, I am a kind of PEA type of person in reality. I can't focus on a single project for more than a week. If I can't finish within a week, it never rolls out.
hi buddy, I missed you on SP, well I understand you get less motivation. Well, I am trying to reduce my time on SP due to other staff in life. But I can't, so far. Lol
Great job with the coding. Do you have any recommendations for the XML coding? I haven't done any coding for 20 years or more, but I could pick it up if I need to. Still strong with math too. (I wish I have more extra time though)
@Stinkysock this is "how to make a challenge’’ - written by @EternalDarkness
step one: make sure you are competent. If you can't build a good entry for your own challenge, you can't rate entries on such a challenge;
step two: make a set of rules, requirements, and judging criteria. Write them down on an unlisted post, so you can just copy and paste them;
step three: make a build, 2D or 3D, that shows what the challenge is about and post it;
step four: edit the description of the challenge post to show all the rules, rewards, judging criteria...
step five: wait until the deadline you gave is up;
step six: rate entries and give rewards. It should take you two to three days, few hours a day for that.
Dear All, IF you see an incomplete build in the editor, it is a glitch. You can play directly without doing anything, Or you can turn on the visibility icon (the eye icon) if you want to see the parts in the designer mode.
Great thought and agree. Happyness was during the build and continuous testing and improvement. After that, I will post it. Not all players are builders, so those people can download and play. Thanks if people give credit and upvotes, but the main happiness was in my build.
@Monarchii I like your concept of "Part Efficient Aircraft" - well, I mostly build around 100 parts. I want to build many planes but it is too hard for me to focus only on a single plane for a long period
@tsampoy Yes, wearing some sneakers and shots
@AshdenpawTG22 Argentina was close to France, England itself, and the US, which is kind of allied to NATO country

@BYardley try for the next time. Add a small structural wings, and attach the wing guns, then. hide the wings. For the next time.

@Monarchii any way, you are the fastest Platinum in history (as far as I know) - congrats

+1@AndrewGarrison Thanks so much for your support!

this is a cool design - a modern P38
Wow, this is quite a detailed explanation. I guess the VR builds got 30 upvotes per build, maybe I am wrong. It is hard to calculate definitely.
@Apollo018362 Thanks for a lot of upvotes today.
+1@RicardoACE no problem
Great plane, and a great story from the Fockland war, 1981.
thanks for joining

@Noob101 ah, thanks. You are right. But I forget my Vexin-A23 when I was sketching this. LoL
+1good work
either way looks beautiful in my eyes
+1Supporting the Challenge with a SPOT! good luck my friend
Huh, this is a Russian version on the C119

amazing
looks very fun - as beautiful as all your works, especially lov that inverted gull wings

+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore thanks- this is based on a photo that i saw a few days ago. Not an exact copy though, since I built it from my memory

@Monarchii YES!!!
