SimpleRockets has the better graphics over Simpleplanes. The graphics look phenomenal and I am just wondering if Simpleplanes will get an update with the new Simplerockets2 graphics. That would be great to have as the game would look better. A switch between old graphics and new graphics should be implemented so old devices can still run it with the old graphics, while the newer devices can run the SR2 graphics.

@RailfanEthan damn you're so right
sr2 is cool but there isn't a railway map for it yet so SP > SR2
I think the graphics are fine, save for one thing: shading. Under certain conditions, it's very hard to distinguish between different pieces, simply because the angle makes it so that they are shaded the same color.
I think this would class as ambient occlusion which I'm not sure they are particularly willing to implement.
Did I look retarded if I say I don't care ?
@what1do2you3think If I recall correctly, I had a little conversation with Andrew Garrison (one of the devs), and he said that the higher graphics are needed for the realistic atmospheric thingies. Although, I wouldn't mind not having realistic atmosphere look in trade for some additional Frames.

@Ryn176 Yeah. They should have SP’s graphics in that game to keep things minimal for the older phones and devices. Just the same switch idea to switch between graphics. It really would make best of both worlds.
@what1do2you3think that's a pretty good idea, so basically the best of both worlds, hope they can do the same to SR2.
@Ryn176 Yeah. If SimpleRockets 2 still supports the IPhone 6s and SE than I think Simpleplanes could take it. They should also make a setting to switch between the old graphics (Current SP graphics) or the new graphics (SR2 Graphics.) And we still have the settings to change. There should be a button saying Old Graphics on one side and New on the other. That way older devices can still run SP without having the new graphics permanently slowing the game down.
I would say so. I just hope it doesn't raises the minimum requirements, cause if so, RIP me
