Will SimplePlanes come to other platforms in the future?

27.4k JovianPat  8.8 years ago

I'm bored, but I just had a thought. How about making SimplePlanes for other platforms? I don't think analog sticks mix well with plane building, but I prefer some other methods than just using a mouse to make planes. For example, a stylus. I think making planes on the Wii U Gamepad or 3DS sounds fun. Maybe you can use the stylus for building and the analog stick for the camera... I dunno. Or maybe even a motion control? Are console hardwares strong enough to load 500 parts+ without lagging? I think so, but it depends on the console itself. What do you think?

    @JovianPat sort of... but then you'd need a free control to select

    @Flightsonic hmm maybe. Also Activation groups might be difficult to port to console controllers.

    @JovianPat I mean you could do something like hold a key then press another button, but it seems like that would be a problem

    @Flightsonic oh yeah I just realized lol. SP has quite large amount of hotkeys and stuff, so it's kinda difficult to just use PS/Xbox controllers...

    It would be great If you have uploaded planes you could get it free through the website :P and get it wherever you can have a webpage... I can get it on the PS4... You can use the WII ripoff thingy to place parts

    @RocketLL hmm I'm using a mid range laptop and it runs fine with occasional lags on 500 parts. So console should run this just fine. About flying with kinect... maybe you can use your hands to move the stick lol

    Console hardware is decent, but by no means strong as a decent gaming PC. It's about the same as a low end PC, so it should be fine.
