Nvidia Geforce Now for Simple Planes

I am suggesting the programmers of Simple Planes do whatever they need to do so that SimplePlanes can be on the "Nvidia Geforce Now" list. This would allow those without the best of computers to be able to build more detailed and better builds.

I don't it costs the Software owner(s) anything. So, this is only a suggestion to look into, please. Thank you if you do take a look and let us know.

For those of you who don't know how it works. If you have a crappy computer, especially in the graphics department. This is a way for you to play games you own and some free ones on Nvidia. Works on PC, Mac, SHIELD or Android phone.

I use it to play a few games on my mid-2011 iMac. You get well over 120FPS and can crank up the graphics to max! You get 1 hour at a time for free. Just end what you are doing and go back in for another hour! Or pay $5/month for unlimited use. Honestly I just use the free service.

Last thing... This NVIDIA service relies almost solely on your internet speed/throughput. The faster you have the better it is obviously. Also, direct connection is always the best but even better for something like this.

    @Aeromen I agree to an extent. I wouldn't call it impractical though. Most countries have access to high speed internet. It's the USA that lags behind. As for affordability of Internet, that I have no clue about. That is defiantly something that would be interesting to know. I guess I have something to research now. I guess I will have to figure out average income and average cost to learn about that. Though, take that with a grain of salt considering what governments report about income are usually skewed greatly. Here in the USA the suggest most make $35,000/yr in most places and we ALL know that isn't true! So many on minimum wage and jobs that never get raises and if they do they are less than $1/yr while peoples expenses go up. I shouldn't have said all of that because we all know that is one big can of worms to open up. :)

    @Aeromen Great guess. That's exactly what it is. It runs your games on their system which are already housed on their system. Think, best GPU, CPU, Memory and all other hardware. I can attest to how well it works for me. My ping is usually around 21 and my download/upload varies on who's using my internet. Though I go from 150Mbps to 980Mbps. I know we are not all this lucky when it comes to speed. I wish it were that way for all.
    I waited 5 years to have the cable expansion in my area. So I went from 15Mbps service to 1Gbps service. SO THANKFUL!

    Thanks for the upvote. I was in the middle of editing what I wrote so go back and re-read please.
    I hope if you haven't used Nvidia's Gerforce Now, and do have a PC or Mac and it's not all that great but, your internet is good. Then try it out. I was amazed. I've never had graphics so good. Though, without great internet speed it's like playing a buffering video.
