Mods Section on Website

This update is focused on Modding. Along with this update, we are excited to announce a new section to the website dedicated to Mods! The mods section will allow modders to get the visibility and points they deserve for all their hard work. It also makes it much easier for players to find mods and show their support.

We are launching this new section with almost 20 mods. The modding community has done some amazing work and we highly encourage everyone to go check out their mods and show them some love.

We are also taking the Steam Workshop out of beta. Mod creators and upload their mods to the Steam Workshop and players can use it to subscribe to their favorite mods.

Note: iOS does not support Mods as it is against Apple's policies. Sorry.

Update 1.5.3

Update 1.5.3 is now live on several platforms with the rest to follow soon.

Update is live: Steam, Gog, HumbleStore, Google Play
Update is not yet live: iOS, Mac Appstore, Amazon

For appstores that are not yet live, please have patience. We are either working on it now or waiting for the store review process. It will be available as soon as possible

Interested in making mods?

Check out the Modding Wiki on our subreddit for information on how to get started modding.

We also now have a GitHub account with a couple of open source example mods for people to explore. On GitHub, we also have an open source reflection tools package that can be imported in to a mod project to provide more access to SimplePlanes classes and data that are not exposed in our modding API.
