Update for Steam

Dev AndrewGarrison  8.9 years ago

We just put out a small update for SimplePlanes on Steam. We've had a lot of requests for an easier way to add blocks without having to drag them out from the part list every time. You can now right click and drag parts on your plane to quickly clone them. I can't believe we didn't do this sooner, it makes building so much easier!

Here is the comprehensive list of stuff included in the update:
Changes

  • Added part cloning capability in the designer via right-clicking on a part and dragging it.
  • Added designer tips when loading the designer.
  • Added a master volume slider for controling the overall volume of the game.
  • Holding down the control key now prevents the clicking and dragging of parts in the designer while still allowing camera control with the mouse.
  • The middle mouse button can no longer click and drag parts, but it can still be used for rotating the view in the designer.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with the on-screen controls setting getting wiped out by tutorial levels.
  • Fixed a bug that would replay levels with the wrong aircraft if loading an aircraft from the website while in a level that does not support the designer.
  • Fixed an issue with some prop engines playing audio in the designer or while it was loading.
  • Fixed an issue with default keybindings wiping out custom keys that were unbound (set to 'None') when starting the game.

After the break we're going to start working hard on the mobile version and we hope to start a beta for mobile around mid-January. We will keep you posted!

Thanks for playing!

    Thanks, also why is Murphy now called "Yeager Airport" and why can't I access the north island from my locations menu? Is there a way to get it back? @AndrewGarrison

    @Sirstupid You need the mouse wheel ,but many laptop track pads have a scroll feature when you slide your finger along the side of it.

    @AndrewGarrison Hey I just noticed that the ability to toggle rcn on and off is gone from the steam version. Is this just something you guys overlooked when making it, or was this on purpose?
    Thanks

    @XVIdarkLithium : Duh, that's obvious. If I may quote some *nix guy: "a computer that needs a mouse is not a real computer." I love shortkeys.

    @AndrewGarrison Idea for future update; have the option of unlimited passive drones and tanks in sandbox to shoot at.

    @AndrewGarrison Have you considered making this game multiplayer? I can completely see me and my friends dogfighting our own planes against each other on a LAN server.
    I think that adding multiplayer would be a great addition to this amazing game!
