We are excited to announce that the newest version of Juno: New Origins includes a collaboration with ESA (European Space Agency) to bring awareness to JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer), which is the first European mission to visit a Gas Giant. It launches on April 13th, from Kourou, French Guiana, on top of an Ariane V, heading towards the moons of Jupiter after an insane chain of Gravity Assists.
To commemorate this launch we have added a new Sandbox Challenge to the game, where you'll be in charge of getting JUICE to visit all moons of Tydos with the least possible Delta-V. In order to better support this mission we have added new properties to the solar panel arrays, such as a new hinge with a custom deployment animation to match the ones in JUICE and the ability to override through the hidden properties how many panels are in each row. Also taking the opportunity to flesh out some issues that the arrays had before.
We have put a lot of focus on improving the Map View experience, with an overhaul of the Planned Burns, Closest Approach calculations, clarity improvements and a ton of bug fixes to ensure a smooth experience when visiting other worlds.
Thanks a lot to ESA for wanting to be a part of Juno: New Origins and bring this amazing mission to the game. All the new features are not just available for the challenge, so you will be able to enjoy the new solar panels and improved Map View in your own careers and sandboxes.

Add railway next update
@AndrrewGarrison I have an idea for a next update, make it so that guns and cannons can shoot through hollow fuselage
@AndrrewGarrison nah, at this point GTA6 will get released first before Simpleplanes 2
SP 2 will be released April 2024
Bro
There
@SasuValentin2 there is this
@AndrewGarrison is there any app you use to talk with others? I need to ask you smth.
As much as I would love a big sp update, keep in mind that this launched as a 2014 mobile game and it has lived well past its serviceable life both on pc and mobile. The codebase, assets, game engine... everything would be outdated now, plus the devs don't make anything from rolling out updates since its all a one time purchase.
I would love to see SP2 at some point though... would definitely buy.
@Cosmopolitan
please add, rain, Objects getting wet, tire bursting plz to make simpleplanes more realistic and dont forget to add a setting in tires that alow them to be stonger or weaker and also add for people that dont what tire to burst add another setting there that alowes the player to click dont burst option too.
And then there's me, waiting for some kind of simplerockets VR
Jundroo, this is a cry for justice to us broke VR players
Edit: or should I just say Juno:new origins VR?
Another Edit: OOH WHAT ABOUT A SIMPLE TANKS VR
better weapon update when
when simpleplanes update?
Jundroo went big time
What a long way it has been, never knew Jundroo would end up collaborating with an actual space agency!
@Skyler101 So, I'm just gonna waste more money on games that I don't even know how to play? I'm not sure if this is actually going to cost but I don't want to loose the game.
@Skyler101 Whats gonna be in simpleplanes2 anyways?
Simpleplanes Update?
@AlinBisj13 what?
I think you must make a good game for simple planes2，I will pay
38$ to buy it.
@Skyler101 i am going to jokingly send an email to Jundroo to apply to a coding position.
I will even work for Jundroo to make a SimplePlanes2
Andrew Garriosn if you’re reading these, everyone wants a Simpleplanes2 and will pay up, this is a good investment for you.
@TASTEinc I would play simple planes 2 demo for 30$
@Skyler101 i will apply to Jundroo to start development of simpleplanes2
