this is a fantastic way to expand this game into a new market where it might end up getting the attention it deserves, I have always felt that the game was underpopulated on mobile/pc players - maybe in the VR market, things would go better... looking forward to it
This game I feel genuinely had the potential to challenge minecraft as one of the most popular sandbox games out there, but for some reason it just never took off. I have literally never seen this game mentioned anywhere outside this website. Why is that?
.
My only guess, the biggest problem is the world that simpleplanes takes place in. Minecraft saw you gathering resources and spending those resources to shape the world around you the way you want it to be, like building a house. Simpleplanes gives you all resources you would ever need to create one machine, but that machine has no ability to do anything other than transport the player around the map or shoot down enemy planes/ships. Once you actually create the machine, you share it and then stop using it, start creating another machine. The landscape is fixed and static, has been for years. I spent like 95% of my time building and not actually flying.
.
If the devs get good money from SR2 and decide to come back to create SP2, I'd definitely like to see the whole bland sandbox map taken out and completely replaced with a different gameplay mechanic. Even a basic procedural world that we can manipulate with resource gathering for parts that we can use in the building process would give a real boost to enjoying this game beyond just creating stuff.
I've been absent from the game for a long time mostly because the world map is just so empty for us mobile players, and i think this is partially why this game failed to explode in popularity like minecraft did even though the same potential is absolutely possible
@GeneralPatrick2 I am still coming on here and playing other people's work, but my own came to a stop a long time ago
if simpleplanes 2 gets announced with strong mobile support, a decent new map and some more interesting ai components and better dogfighting Ai I'll probably restart and start building again!
@Zerokiller3 In the works @JackTheBestBoss I think my current fastest fighter is the Griffon @TheNCRranger I think it would, yeah. If you have the setting turned on for it.
@asteroidbook345 Yes and that can be worked with if you put the cockpit on the turret next to the gun, and then have the gun orientating itself to aim at enemies, the cockpit will then command the aircraft to fire the guns, right?
@CRJ900Pilot
Using Overload mod, go to control surface 1, edit MaxDeflectionDegree to between 0-180, default is 35
@MI
A hinge, plus a small circle rotator to bring them back 15ish degrees. edit the speed values so they work together as one.
@CeeToTheZee
Adding exterior cockpit struts would mean +50 parts to get them right, and even then they'd clash with the interior. I prefer a simple glass clipping.@CRJ900Pilot
@Mustang51 You got me! The only difference visually is shorter cannons and thinner wings, but if I find a better colourised tempest img I'll replace it.
@F104Deathtrap Fun fact - pretty much the whole cockpit assembly is entirely made using the physicless structural wings, including all of the scope insides, just to cut down lag for mobile users. For me, this flies like a 240 part plane.
@MethaManAircraft The only editing you can do is change the power %. there are some tricks you can do to edit acceleration to be faster, but not slower.
@F4f879 Take out the wing fuel tanks, reduce the internal fuel to 100 gal and add a little weight on the nose and it would become just as good a turner as the 109.
@Deadly8Nightshade Yaks were pretty unstable. I couldn't stabilise this if I wanted to. Getting the correct weight and fuel positions, while making sure it flies level on a stable cruise PLUS landing elevation needed... Not fun :( sorry.
I didn't know the SimplePlanes community had figured out how to make turrets that move and then stay in position, used to be they could only be controlled directly to the yaw/pitch or whatever. Does this mean people have figured out how to make computer-controlled AI turrets that shoot back at the player?
don't play this game much anymore but it's nice to fly my old ww2 warbirds. Here's the view of a Japanese pilot downing a p47 and its mustang escort, make sure quality is set to highest

just update the damn map! hahaha

+5Cool. Can someone tell me if they are still focusing on simplerockets, or are they switching back to developing this again?
+5the wind is rising, we must try to live

+3@WarHawk95 i've got a couple more bombsights, check out my he111 or lancaster tall boy
+2Hope your studies went well. Requesting a meteor or Kikka if you are wondering what to do next!
+2Requesting a Kikka from you! Your works are only reason I visit this site :)
+2@Othawne There was a bunch of different gunsights used by the Brits, I want to show them all off.

+1AWESOME!

+1IT'S HAPPENING
+1@FgFg yeah! but ya know, you don't need it on this ;) That's already on my mig-3
+1Setting Fireweapons to a piston holding the cockpit to give a recoil effect, brilliant.
+1@Mainblocks sure dude, could you throw up the design you have in mind unlisted and I'll work something out. How many parts do you want it limited to?
+1@Othawne I just want to finish the interceptors first before I tackle jets

+1how did you get a parking brake to work? Been something I've been struggling with
@rexzion shame, thank you
On android, how can a player use the zoom?
@KnightOfRen could you post an example? This is really cool I've been wanting to make one for a while

nice
@Scottydoestuff i'm done, i'll be back if there's a simpleplanes 2
Damn that was great
Requesting a video using my stuff
Where could I read this comic?
@Kaos oh sure, you have to manually spawn it yourself.
@Kaos it's a lancaster, it doesn't really do much beyond fly from a to b. What device are you running on? If you set physics to low, does it help?
@FgFg while I'm here, do you know of any russian 4 engined ww2 bombers?
@FgFg oh yeah thanks
This is brilliant for 81parts.
@Scottydoestuff the only unfinished was the yak, nothing else was made
@Scottydoestuff sorry dude, this stuff's been abandoned
I'll be sinking my teeth into sr2 when it comes out, mark my words
You nailed the profile, nice work! my.mixtape.moe/xbwiuo.mp4
