Build something Agricultural! It can be an tug plane, crop duster, cattle herding helicopter, tractor, combine, old truck, pitchfork, whatever- as long as its fun to build and other folks will get a kick out of driving/using it. Replica or fictional exercise in creativity, doesn't matter as long as it is made by you (don't take other people stuff and give credit where due). XML modding allowed and encouraged. No necessary downloaded mods please.

@jlewisifer Sorry about my long inactivity, I've gotten addicted to KSP but I remembered how great Simpleplanes is, got back to it
@MediciAviation243 heck yeah man! Haven't been on in a while thought it might be fun.

@jlewisifer No prob... I may join, I do like the concept... It depends on if I have time... Thanks :)
@jlewisifer k thanks
@Karma I'd prefer not to... there are other options for spraying and other options besides sprayers! if you really want to use it, go for it.
Are you okay with downloading the smoke Trail mod?
