Fun Facts

-Simpleplanes was first released in 2014 on Windows and Mac through Gumroad, then ported to iOS and android. On December 17, 2015, Simpleplanes was finally released on Steam.

-Forums were added to the SP website 5 years ago. Crazy to think at a point the forums never existed.

-You used to be able to post 5 planes a day. This was changed in 2016 along with the removal of the ability to post pictures in the comments (Like what you would see in a forum post).

-Contrary to popular belief, upvotes from a comment do not give users a single point. This was confirmed in a forum by Andrew.

-The first rickroll in the forums was made by Andrew himself. It was posted in this forum.

-You can only spotlight 5 users every 24 hours.

-While hfusiwjf29's P-51 may have the most upvotes of any build on the website, it is not the most downloaded. That record is held by thealban's SR-71 with a whooping 281,014 downloads. Hfusiwjf29's P-51 only has 165,713.

-Majority of the people who come to the site don't actually have an account. They simply just download peoples aircraft. Because of this, I refer them as the silent majority. Their main traffic areas are highest rated and hottest.

-Speaking of Hfusiwjf29, he is the only user to ever get close to achieving platinum through a single post. His P-51 has gained him 1197 out of the 1667 upvotes needed.
