For starters, I most certainly know that the devs are working day and night on another game (Simple Rockets 2) but I am still wondering if SimplePlanes 2 will come out one day. With all the new features in SR2, I feel like some of them would be really cool in this game. Or even possibly as a huge update.
Maybe things like:
- More customizable missiles / bombs / Plane guns
- Procedural Landing Gear
- Procedural Propeller Engines (Possibly with fuel type and maybe smoke effects)
- Procedural Jet engines (I wonder how nice it would be if there were procedural jet engines. I think it would help a lot of people. And maybe something like a smoke trail that it produces, like the missiles)
- Cargo/Bomb bays (would look like the fuselage block, but you can have an option to "add door" where you can change activation group, size, direction, and angle. The function for customizing it could be like the wings and the control surfaces on them)
- More realistic-looking wing parts (I like the wings there are right now, I just feel that they are too blocky and are prone to flopping or having wacky physics)
In no way am I bashing or pressuring the devs, I just feel like these are improvements that could be added to this game. I love it to bits and pieces, but what if it had a makeover to feel more up-to-date?
It's funny how all of these proposed features are possible with creative use of the parts that are already in game.
All of these can already be done. Just with a hefty price of parts
so basically just make sp easy
then it wont be as fun
Honestly I don’t like always making my custom surface bc they take forever to get right sometimes so I think a wing reshape would be nice and I don’t think it would be that difficult
Engine smoke would be nice though
Everything is possible with a little bit of effort lol all you gotta do is just put the effort in
Seriously, with this game, you have to realise that your first few builds will suck, and good builds take a long time.
@LieutenantSOT Yeah it's probably just me. If they added all your suggestions it would temporarily compress the skill ladder, meaning I'd be a noob again.
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook that is agreeable.
@WiiMini The engines do need a revamp. The fuel consumption is too high and the power is unrealistic
Rocket engines for things like the D-558 or Me-163
@X4JB honestly, yes. I think I'll make a list for every single answer to their questions.
"More customizable missiles / bombs / Plane guns"
We have xml modding, and the scale tool. On top of this, we can use fuselages to customize the look. If we can have gun replicas in SP, it can't be a problem.
"Procedural Landing Gear"
I'm gonna take a guess and I think you mean that you want more standard landing gear. Nobody really uses the stock gear because you learn to make authentic custom gear.
"Procedural Propeller Engines (Possibly with fuel type and maybe smoke effects)"
We have modded rockets for smoke, unlimited fuel as well.
"Cargo/Bomb bays (would look like the fuselage block, but you can have an option to "add door" where you can change activation group, size, direction, and angle. The function for customizing it could be like the wings and the control surfaces on them)"
People make those, they are complex, but they exist.
"More realistic-looking wing parts (I like the wings there are right now, I just feel that they are too blocky and are prone to flopping or having wacky physics)"
The Custom Control Surfaces Club will aid you now.
"In no way am I bashing or pressuring the devs, I just feel like these are improvements that could be added to this game. I love it to bits and pieces, but what if it had a makeover to feel more up-to-date?"
You just asked the devs to do stuff to make common things that wee bit easier.
@LieutenantSOT I prefer doing it the hard way, it's much more rewarding
@Noname918181 @X4JB I agree! I'm just saying that if they were implemented into the game, they would take up A LOT less of the part count making it more accessible. Also, the other parts would still be available for you to build custom parts
bruh
@Potato21 But there are no guns in SR 2
SR2 is SimplePlanes 2
@LieutenantSOT yeah
@UltraLight OHHHH I forgot to add that part engine smoke trails to the jet engines would be cool too, or like adding engine exhaust so it looks like its making smoke?
Yeah we need more reliable engine smoke
