So I have never played the SP tutorial until today and I must say it is one dumb ass tutorial. It teaches players how to shape wings just fine but it doesn't explain anything about the dihedral or different airfoils. However the absolute worst part of this tutorial is that it teaches new players to use single blocks to builds planes. There is no mention of the fuselage parts. How did this happen????
In short the tutorial should;
- Explain how to shape wings,
- Explain how dihrdrals and airfoils work
- Explain how to shape fuselage parts
- Explain how to use use the part transform tool
I might call it an “edgy” tutorial
Haha, definitely a correlation. The tutorial is a slight bit outdated.

@CoolPeach Was looking through the newest planes and I think you might be able to relate to this lol.
@PhantomBladeCorp lmao we all have our own ways of going about things I guess.
I still dont know what dihedrals and airfoils are...
Tutorial is failure...
@TheGuyYouMightKnow Except me. If I ever take a tutorial, it's because the game is too hard to understand at first sight (like Hearts of Iron, for instance).
Other than that, my approach is: tutorial? Naaah, go straight into the fun :)
@PhantomBladeCorp Yes, I never did at first because I was playing the game before there was any tutorial so I didn't need it. But tutorials are naturally what players go to first in a game, and when your game's tutorial is out of date like SP's new players often create bad planes.
Wait, are there people that take the tutorial?
@spefyjerbf Wouldn't you say that fuselage blocks should be the basics? They're far more prevelant than single blocks and they only hurt new players.
Fundamentals come before advanced/intermediate techniques. However, a tutorial on fuselage blocks would be nice.
@CoolPeach Exactly! The tutorial potentially sets up new players for failure!
When I first played this game, I originally thought that fusalage blocks were just static large cylinders, hence not using them for anything I was building. It was only when I downloaded a couple planes did I realise that fusalage blocks were so darn useful.
Maybe even a basic briefing on ALL the parts would be useful, like if I didn't know anything and was jumping into the game, I wouldn't figure out how to use gyroscopes or rotators or anything @DisferGoatz @TheGuyYouMightKnow
Definitely. To be honest, the tutorial would be much better with the modern SP, and not by focusing on parts (blocks) that people rarely even use at all
Yeah, I stuck with block parts since like, a two summer weeks of playing because of that.
@BACconcordepilot I know it's old, and that just gives more reason for it to be updated. It's been the same even though the fusalage parts have been around for quite a long time.

Please update the tutorial! I don't want to see new players learn only the very basics, I want new players to start playing and be able to create something that they can be proud of and that will look good!
