SP Questions

13.4k o2o  4 months ago

I have a few questions regarding Simple Planes and some car related stuff

-Can you design and create a functioning model of a car engine on simple planes,, like can air be combusted or routed to increase airflow by making a hollow pipe smaller?

-Does simple planes calculate drag of an object that is hidden behind something? Is there airflow or turbulence?

-Is there a way to make an accurate diff or tranny in SP? And do gears work like the way they should?

-Can the flow/design of an engine's exhaust manifold or piping could change the engine's sound profile, and are there any materials that can do the same?

-Can you import 3d models into simple planes, or is there a way to convert a model into a simple planes file?

Thanks!

    @Graingy Fair enough. What I could see is someone getting the SP idea and adding BeamNG physics for a whole new game would be awesome, but yeah no mobile would anger a good sum of people.

    That would be a horrible idea because it would lose all accessibility.
    SP thrives because it doesn’t require a top-notch Windows PC to run at all.
    It can be done not just on sub-top-of-the-line hardware, but also shows up on other operating systems (because I’m sure that once the requirements are set high, dropping support for other OS’s apart from windows follows).

    The game doesn't actually simulate airflow so yeah you can't do most of those things

    I guess you could probably do gears with FT but idk the code for it

    @Graingy nah man its fine, I just never took it into consideration. Maybe they should make an SP2 where simple planes has BeamNG level physics? Then this game would be TOP NOTCH!! Imagine with RTX too 🤯

    Sorry if I came off more rudely.
    It’s just… some of these things seemed obviously not the case considering how crappy SP physics are?

    Question: How do you reach over 10k points and not know some of this stuff?
    And be here for over 4 years?
