Why is SimplePlanes just so simply, bad? (Rant)

2 TEGU1223  3 months ago

Yes, I am aware the game is literally called simple - planes, but this game feels so limited without having to mod a part, like for example there is a wedge block and a square corner block, but there is no flat corner block.

If I try and make a twin boom aircraft and use one wing piece for the rear wing it doesn’t connect to the other side, ok so I will make it two wings, it doesn’t connect in the middle, I try to manually make it connect, black hole. If I get the twin boom to work and try to power it in a way it doesn’t like, black hole.

Just really bad, don’t even get me started on fuselages

I have played this game for a couple years ( edit it’s just under 4 )and can never seem to get it to behave. Either make a pact with a deity or get something like flyout, bit technical, but SOOO much better, not as beginner friendly though, save yourself the pain new beginners.

And to the people only saying skill issue, can you not think of one intelligent thing to say? Maybe some tips?

    I'm not gonna jump on this bandwagon if treating this guy like he's garbage, 2 years of "experience". How do you reckon people get good? They suffer through the "pain." no pain no gain, even in simple planes

    Why are you comparing this to Flyout? It's like comparing a console to a PC

    You don't know what your talking about

    Many people have been able to make so many, uncountable, beautiful, unique creations, aircraft, ground vehicles, computers... but it's too difficult for you? It just seems you're upset and I understand that. But honestly you should give the game more credit - it's not flyout for us it's fun. And if you just want to complain and advertise flyout, please don't do that here. thanks :)

    "Deeply biased by Flyout "
    "And to the people only saying skill issue, can you not think of one intelligent thing to say?"
    " to anyone getting this game on steam, just get flyout for the QoL, nay everything."
    .
    seriously, if you are just being biased. don't even bother making an opinion about the game if you are just comparing a decade old game.

    And to the people saying skill issue, can you not think of one intelligent thing to say?

    not at that moment, cause I'm gonna be brutally honest, it's a fact.

    but ok, here, what are you having problems with? connections not connecting? probably because it isn't a valid connection to begin with.

    connection points have to be very specifically put onto another connection point for it to actually connect both parts, so maybe the issue you're having is you're not aligning both side of the connection point correctly, preventing it from connecting to one another.

    alot of parts are like this, but some aren't, like fuselage parts. Though it's displayed that they only have 7-8 connection points, they have a lot of connection points that isn't visible, making it virtually connectable on almost every side. I say almost because there are very specific sides that it won't connect to. Not that I know where. But most often, if it's visually touching, it can most likely connect.

    for other parts, you're only going to really have 1-2 connection points in average, so you can't be as free as using fuselages. This is because the devs ever rarely update a part, and also it's much simpler and easier to understand to have a single connection point than double, or triple the amount.

    my honest tip? treat simpleplanes' building system like minecraft's, but slightly more complicated. Don't be afraid to mod your parts, don't be afraid to nudge 'em.

    that's about it, Ig.

    @LtSaturn Actually going back on the Apple Store I have had it for 3 years, and I played it like nothing else, easily 300+ planes, most on cloud or in external drives

    Edit: October 21st, so just under 4 to be specific, no idea how to check playtime. Oh and also to the hurr durr fuselage ppl most of them use them, blocks and wedges aren’t precise enough.

    @DatFiat126Fan19 most of the pain is from using fuselages, yes manual mode is nice for the fine things like blending stuff, but compared to Flyout, it is horrid. Blocks look so bad tho sometimes, especially with scaled up and down parts.
