It has been many years since I've revisited this account, this is the game that gave me my fundamental understanding of suspension through me making better and better suspension in the game, and that ultimately has lead me into my love for cars, and now is leading me to a career in automotive engineering.

I am still vastly knowledgeable about the game and how to build within it, and I look forward to Simple Planes Two, so long as we get better tires. The lack of decent tire physics is the number one turn off of this game for me today. Because of how the tire model works, and how the wheels and engines and overall physics in general for that matter work, there's many limitations that keep the cars in this game from handling and ultimately driving realistically at all, and it really is a shame, because the rest of the physics engine is even to this day still very capable of simulating suspension.
