Questions about the multiplayer mode of SimplePlanes 2

2,575 Brionne  18 days ago

In the original game, players can freely modify the properties of parts through the built-in mod to create aircraft that are highly inconsistent with the laws of physics. Some of these aircraft, similar to the fighter jets in Ace Combat, can pull dozens of Gs of high overload. Are such aircraft allowed to participate in multiplayer races? Besides modifying part properties, using FunkyTrees can also increase the thrust-to-weight ratio of engines. Is this situation also considered a modification of part properties?

    While raising these questions, I also want to share my own views. First, I hope multiplayer races will allow aircraft from the original game to be used; otherwise, it may increase the workload for players who want to experience multiplayer gameplay in the second installment using their completed old designs. Second, game lobbies or matchmaking systems should add filters to prevent players from encountering overly powerful aircraft. Third, in the filter options, directly modifying part attributes such as size, mass, drag, and thrust should be treated as a different case from using FunkyTrees to achieve a higher thrust-to-weight ratio. Of course, these are just suggestions, and I don’t expect the development team to follow exactly what I’ve said—after all, such ideas may be a bit too demanding.
