Hello everyone,
I have been contemplating recently of a few ideas that possibly could improve SimplePlanes as a whole. Though, the prospects of a new update ever coming to SimplePlanes again are slim, I'd like to discuss a few topics that pique my interest.
My First Idea would be to implement Tracks 2 as a mod into the game, similar to that of the Tuner mods that were added a couple updates ago.
My Second Idea would be to implement a Sea based update as a whole. This could include:
1. Underwater Camera mod (or original version made).
2. A possible setting for waves (does not have to have the quality of waves such as Stormworks), or texture updates to the flat ocean.
3. Controllable Ballasts for submarines or Hydrofoil-based ships.
4. Ship Hull fuselages, where they are invincible to being destroyed by explosions or guns, but have a health based system that decreases the Bouyancy percentage of said piece of hull that is hit by weapons.
5. If possible, some Easter Eggs of sunken ships could be added, or have the ships you destroy in game capable of being explored after its sink.
6. Underwater propellers. Please.
7. Set it to where explosives do not dissappear after a certain depth.
My Third Idea would be possibly changing some characteristics of plane explosions. I think I can stand for a good majority of people when I say it's annoying when your the very tip of your wing explodes (the tiniest piece!), and it causes a giant reaction that sends your cockpit for a B-line straight to Pluto at numbers only scientific notation can explain. I don't mean completely remove that feature, but to at least dim down the ultra explosion physics of a small nuke being planted inside every piece of your craft.
Welp, those are my three ideas. Most likely no one is going to read though, and much less anyone that could get anything to the devs (they have bigger ambitions with Juno it seems).
Well, until next time folks, peace out and have a great day!
