@X4JB not everything gets reported as soon as it's posted.

@EternalDarkness kinda wack that I'm getting a strike for something I said 3 months ago, but whatever

@X4JB was there a need for such extreme language? Please behave yourself.

i have a laptop i have enough money to buy sp for my laptop but idont wanna buy it because i wanna buy the xbox series X

@X4JB but this post is about me getting my first pc lol

@spefyjerbf Thanks i'm already amazed at how much of a difference framerate makes. still trying to get used to the flight controls though.

Great to hear! PC is much more robust than iOS. I can’t wait to see what you create! Given your already high level of quality, I am sure that your next build will be quite nice.
.
As for mods, upload with screenshots is a nice one, unless if you somehow have access to a custom thumbnail mod. I’m not sure how custom thumbnail mods work - mine is a really barebones and awful thing to work with.

Designer:
Ctrl+M = Mirrors certain parts
hold Ctrl when rotating the camera with the left mouse button = you won't accidentally move some parts.
Ctrs+S = hot key for saving, save often, there is nothing worse than losing work

Also I'm not sure if Fine Tuner or some other mod adds it or is it in by default but Y turns on X-Ray

Flight mode:
F1 = Cockpit View
F2 = Chase View
F3 = Orbit View
F4 = Flight View
F5-F8 = custom cameras (f you have more than 4 cameras on your build, you can switch between them with 'V')
F9 = Hide HUD
F10 = Self Destruct the plane.

Mouse Right click turn ON joystick control for the mouse

As for mods:
- Multiplayer Mod
- Designer Suite
- Upload With Screenshots (Tho there are better ways to upload nice thumbnails but upload with screenhots is a good first step)
- Colour Editor
- Tracks 2 if you like to build tanks and other tracked vehicles
- Ocean if you like ship stuff
- Underwater Camera (only if you didn't install Ocean mod, because the two mods dont work too well together)

Get multiplayer

ocean mod if you want to play with ships and tracks 2 for apparently most of the cool tanks on the site use that mod

I fly with controller, if you have one, I'd suggest starting with ace combat controls and working from there
For mods, check out mine idk lol

I would recommend getting a joystick or using in game mouse control to control your plane because flying with WASD is funky

@TeaKippy oh no

designer suite if you like replicas, ocean mod if you like water vehicles, clouds mod for a nice looking sky, and maps to enjoy detailed scenery
and multiplayer

ok

@tsampoy that's a great idea, hold on. if I don't reply within 10 mins, something bad happened...

I read that as "I'm a PC now!"

Noice

man, I'm still waiting to evolve to the computer. I mean I can rn but my Chromebook and SimplePlanes..... poor thing would die.

I have to say, the PC version of SP is well worth it.
In terms of keybinds, I just use the default controls and it works good.
In terms of mods, The only one I really use is the multiplayer mod. worth it.
