I got SimplePlanes working on Arch Linux (yay!), but I can't seem to install airplanes. My SimplePlanes path is
/home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/**/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Jundroo/SimplePlanes
Is there a way to manually install airplanes, or install inside the game? If not, there definitely should be. I found the mod folder, so if there's an install helper mod, that works too.
Thanks in advance!
Where exactly is the mods folder? Been driving myself nuts trying to find it.
@mods
To install mods (
.spmodfiles) just paste them into the "mods" folder after downloading them (located on the game's data folder, the one you found).Step 1: Go into a plane's website page
Step 2: Copy the link to the page
Step 3: Open the game
Step 4: Go in the designer and press Ctrl + L
Step 5: Profit.
Husky's idea won't work out because the game stores planes as
.xmlfiles, not.splanefiles, the files you download are just renamed text files containing the unique 6 digit code from the plane's link, that's why they are only 6 bytes.If you have an AircraftDesigns folder inside /Jundroo/SimplePlanes, you should* be able to manually download and then copy/paste downloaded aircraft there.
Theoretically you could do the same with mods but in the Mods folder instead of AircraftDesigns.
Disclaimer: I do not use Linux and have never tried this before, so I really have no idea if this will work or not.
