I debated and decided to combine 2 levels and use the pure artistic version as the main posted card… It highlights Meko morphing - including 12 motors with pass through stop.

      The secondary card “Gaining Altitude” highlights a mechanism that allows free dragging a large tethered object beyond the typical limits of Mekorama (while it remains connected to a motor and is rotating).
      Typically when using two stacked motors the rotation effect is overwhelmed by a large object and simply flops over.
      There is a central core with vertical sliders attached.
      There is an outer wrap of motors with the motor shafts attached to the core (isolating the outer from the inner core). This secures the lower of the two stacked motors allowing the top motor to rotate without simply flopping over.

      Absolutely beautiful. B made his proper round around the plane to check everything. He's such a responsible pilot. There are so much details to love on this design. All those tiny windows for example. :D

      This is absolutely fantastic for mekorama. You are a brilliant builder.
      Very realistic.
      Amazing build. It’s truly amazing when in a second an incomprehensible object turns into a very realistic airplane. SUPER COOL!!!
      The second card is even more fantastic - the flight beyond is incredibly cool and very realistic!!! Congratulations on inventing a mechanism for rotating a very large object!!
      It’s a pity that it’s impossible to zoom out the screen even further (there are zoom limitations). Therefore, you can only admire fragments of the flight. To see the entire circle completely, there is not enough zoom.
      And of course, I sincerely congratulate you on the anniversary of 50 levels!!!
      SUPER COOL! Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH ;):thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

      Superb mekoart and I liked the mysterious looking grey shimmering that perhaps is meant to be engine exhaust. Had fun flying in Gaining Altitude.

      Words fail me. This is an absolute masterpiece of Meko design. The main card is superb but the second absolutely astonishing. I agree with comments made about zoom but as you are pushing the limits way beyond that which the game developers probably imagined I think this limitation is understandable.
      Thank you for sharing your 50th creation and I eagerly await the next 50.

      @EL797 Thank you @EL797 for PCR.
      P.S. I hadn’t realized this was my 50th level… thanks for noticing that.

      Thank you @Soohaeib Afeef Hosen for playing, commenting and a colorful rating.
      I pleased you enjoyed the level.

      Thanks @Block builder, small details can add a lot of appeal. I tried to have all the windows clear but the “First Class” seating had to be fully occupied.
    • 97 NinetySeven
      Thank you @Denis Nazin I’m thrilled you enjoyed the second card even more.
      This level does extend beyond the typical zoom limits of Mekorama.
      I’m sorry you experienced viewing difficulty, I thought the tethering length was borderline but not inconvenient.
      I use an iPhone to design and play levels. With this level I can rotate my phone to landscape and use the touch screen to follow the flight path.

      Thank you @ridgerunner for PCR.
      The grey shimmer is another Meko mystery appearing on its own.
      I hope you didn’t encounter “wing strike” but piloting this aircraft is very difficult to control.

      Thank you @MekoMole for PCR.
      I’m glad you enjoyed both cards and I extend the same apologetic response to you as I did with @Denis Nazin.

      No need for an apology @97 NinetySeven, my comment wasn't meant as a criticism of your astonishing level which pushes limits intelligently and effectively. I think Mekorama zoom limits were designed to accomodate mostly 16x16x16 designs and probably more to zoom in than out into white space. There were early examples of activity outside the matrix, Martin Magni's walking robot springs to mind, but I think many more designers are now pushing beyond the original boundaries and limits. This, in my view, is a good thing and to be encouraged. We see this in increased activity in white space, in the use of previously hidden features, inclusion of non standard blocks etc.
      Please continue to experiment and stretch the capabilities of the app for our continued enjoyment. A rocket ship leaving earth orbit for a lunar orbit would be a tour de force?:cool:
