UPDATE THIS POOR NEGLECTED GAME ALREADY. AI improvements, build designer improvements, new map locations, custom challenge designer. Something!
The game is currently only good for flying the same few planes around the same few locations. If I wasn't such a plane sperg I'd have quit this game ages ago.
Normally I criticize people's bombers for dropping bombs too slowly...but this thing just POURS THEM OUT. I push the button for a fraction of a second and half the payload goes out the hatch. Dunno if that's intentional, but I would recommend a drop rate of something a little more controllable XD
When you said "Oh, sorry bro, my mistake" I thought you meant you misinterpreted my original message. I can definitely understand that, since on the internet the only way one has of sensing someone's attitude is through written text. Written text is a poor conveyor of attitude, so, naturally, people misinterpreting other people happens all the time on the internet. Hence why it's no big deal if you thought my original message was implying something it wasn't :)
@NoblePlanesLTD No worries. On the internet it can be hard to tell what someone's attitude is when all you have is some text on a screen, it happens :)
@NoblePlanesLTD Calm down dude. I never said I was a better builder than you. I don't even build at all. I was just offering constructive feedback.
As for the engine failure simulation, that didn't occur to me. I'm guessing this is a plane from some famous crash/incident. I don't know a great deal about aviation history. From my perspective, I saw a neat replica, downloaded, accidentally pressed the fire button on my controller, and was bewildered to see some magic gun blow up an engine lol.
Fantastic work. I wish it was a little bit more stable, currently it shakes every time you make even the smallest maneuver. It's not bad, but when trying to use the gun it makes it difficult.
@PlaneFlightX Ah, nevermind, I misread. My bad.
Either way, I respectfully disagree. I'm glad you find it satisfactory, but just ask anyone else if they think the map could use more, and I think you can guess their answer.
@temporaryplanetester I admit I have few concrete ideas for how to make the designer less confusing and more intuitive, but I can compare it with a similar game: Sprocket. Basically Simple Planes but for tanks instead. Its designer allows for virtually unlimited freedom, and it's very intuitive and easy to understand. Only the super advanced stuff requires reading a guide.
@temporaryplanetester I should have been more specific when I wrote "limited". You described exactly what I meant, though. Making one decent plane takes so much time and patience that it's discouraging to many people.
@1VirtualRealityConversion It might be for you, but not everyone wants to spend 5 minutes hunting around for all the necessary buttons and switches just to activate the plane. I'd rather have a simple and quick set of AG controls so I can get right into the action.
I question why this post was made on the website for SimplePlanes...
Does this mean SP will finally be getting the revisit and overhauls it desperately needs?
An overhaul to the designer would make my year. Since the game came out, it's been a clunky, uninuitive, complicated mess with no sufficient tutorial or guides on making even basic airfoils.
Very interesting shape, from a top-down view. Small but long wings, and a wide but long nose. Looks cool!
Great plane, but it has a noticeable tendency to slowly roll starboard.

Needs some more countermeasures, it doesn't have much to spend. Other than that, it's a grade A killing machine.

Other than that, it's a lovely aircraft!
+3Great plane...but the lack of countermeasures is bizarre on a modern jet?
+1For a moment I thought this was a Lucius-pattern Warlord Titan from WH40K.
+2Excellent build, although even at full power she constantly wants to nose down.
Great plane! It's rather twitchy with its controls though. Needs to be a little less sensitive and it'd be perfect.
+1What map is used in the screenshots?
The signatory nations to the Geneva Conventions would like to know your location.
+1"Comment section disabled, no need for further comments"
You knew what you were doing, dumbass.
Jesus. People are so desperate for new locations in the game they're making artificial islands.
+2That is some impressive building.
Best Jaguar on the site.
+1Beautiful craft, but it has a horrible right list. It's very difficult to fly.
Gorgeous plane, but she pushes down very hard. Adjusting trim doesn't help :(

Good plane, but even when trim is on full, it still strongly noses down.
Best private jet on the site!

Also it ever so slightly rolls left :(
Why does this come with a gun that destroys one of the jet engines...
Good plane, but it's really nose-heavy, and using flaps doesn't seem to do much.
+1Nice!
+2Semi-relatedly I wish there was a 6th generation tag on the site...
Spongebob French narrator Four...days...later...
Very good, but it really wants to keep pitching upward. Trim doesn't seem to help. Trim down makes it REALLY pitch up, but trim up does nothing.
Continental Airlines livery?
Are rear guns on the actual F-16?? I can't find any references to it anywhere.
Fantastic work. I wish it was a little bit more stable, currently it shakes every time you make even the smallest maneuver. It's not bad, but when trying to use the gun it makes it difficult.

@PlaneFlightX No offense, but if it's "perfectly fine", then why did you follow that up with suggesting new things for it? :P
@temporaryplanetester I should have been more specific when I wrote "limited". You described exactly what I meant, though. Making one decent plane takes so much time and patience that it's discouraging to many people.
+1I really like it, but it wants to roll to the left slightly.
Its trim doesn't seem to work.
Also it tries to roll left when going down the runway.
Excellent work, but it DESPERATELY needs trim adjustment capability.
+2Very good plane. I wish its non-afterburner speed was a little faster.
Haaang on a minute...this looks...familiar...
+1But who in their right mind would design a submersible aircraft carrier, right? ...Right?
@phrongus I didn't know that. That's even weirder...
This is thoroughly impressive. I thought the Star Raven was the most powerful fighter on the site but now this has taken the title!

I would love to see a stealth version of this, with angled surfaces and interior weapons bays!
Does this include the interior? Can I re-enact the attack inside the Death Star with planes...again? :D
+5The ocean of stars in our galaxy is finally within our reach...
+7This is the best-looking aircraft on the whole site. Gorgeous.

+3Imgur is great
