I know we all have these builds, you spend hours of time perfecting them In the hopes that you will get a decent amount of upvotes, downloads or maybe even the chance of being featured. I have reached a point of annoyance again, it happens every so often and here's why: I love this game, I spend hours upon hours everyday playing it or spending time on the site checking things out. The issue that so many people fall prey to is the highest rated section of simpleplanes. rarely anybody goes to the newest section to see what the newer builds are. I have found some incredible Aircraft while scrolling through the the newest section. I could tell it took days of work to build and these guys only get a few upvotes in return for they're work. now here is a plane that I am incredibly proud of. it is extremely accurate and it looks good. I built it with the hope of it getting a fair amount of upvotes and a bit of appreciation. well that obviously wasn't the case as I only got upvotes from my followers, my awesome amazing followers. I know I'm going on a bit of a rant here but I'm sure this is something we have all faced. You dont have to upvote this post if you dont want to. I just want to make my opinion known, but go ahead and comment your ignored glorious builds. I am more then happy to check em out. thanks for reading.

    @Booster456 well I'm not complaining. The funny thing is, is that I'm still ignored. My yak 38 had barely any attention at all

    @dogspit I got him started with the game when we made a stick plane that would do backflips. Fun times!

    @WalrusAircraft lmfao. Yeah I'm sure it is. You have truly amazing builds. The whole building with dad thing is confusing at times though. ;)

    Yes I have had some of those moments my self. It kinda is upsetting when you spend two weeks on a plane and then your dad makes a vastly more successful flintstones car.

    @Thomasj041 I like the visibility where I put it in the nose but I maybe should have put a small Cockpit in the fusalage block Cockpit.

    @Tully2001 I just wanna learn how to do it myself. It would be nice if you did it but when you resize them they turn back to the original color.

    @Blueshark03 there was this German dude I found once. He made some truly incredible planes but sadly I forgot to favorite something and I can't find the dude now.

    I agree some pretty cool planes are in the newest section that don't get the attention they deserve

    @Tully2001 lol and he and I made up and built a plane together. I still need to figure out pure mirroring and glass blocks though. That is something that I haven't been able to do yet.
