SimplePlanes

its so simple...
it becomes simple in the sense of wanting to insult someone with calling them simple.

Building controls is utterly a mess. Switching to metric does not adjust all values to metric but instead leaves a lot of descriptions and tutorials still using imperial units.

no indicators for centre of mass or centre of lift so cannot adjust designs accordingly and achieve flight other than getting speed and then doing a 360 flip and exploding.
Or least none that was easily switched on in the utterly horrendous interface.

What is wrong with having LEFT CLICK do things then keep RIGHT CLICK and RIGHT CLICK+SHIFT for panning and rotating? why do people insist on using this "left for pan, right for EVERYTHING ELSE including copying the part that you had your cursor nowhere near at when you want to rotate the camera"

Its so simple its simply a rip off
(I just cant get a refund cause I bought it years ago and fired it up again now to see what was happening with it.)

This is a great game, and the talent behind it really is genuine when you get to know about them

man build plane, plane doesnt fly, man build different design, plane fly, man happy, man put gun, plane shoot, man happy

cool game

Simple Planes is an Amazing Game, that lets you Create Jets, planes, Tanks, trucks, cars, Ships, if you can think of it you can build it and make work. Just Try it and you Will be Hooked, And it's the Best Under $20 Game that I have Brought For the Amount of Content and Replay-ability in Creating new Vehicles is Endless.

It does what it says on the tin

love the russian missile mod, we need a mod for american ATA missiles, AGM missiles, or guided bombs (we need them ALL)

Should you buy SimplePlanes in 2025? Quick answer; no.

The longer answer is a bit more complicated. I would recommend it for anyone who likes vehicles and building games, but SimplePlanes 2 will release fairly soon, and this game isn't getting updated anymore. If you really want to have this game, you should wait until SimplePlanes 2 releases, instead of buying this game. This review is a negative one because the sequel will release soon and it's a waste of money to buy this game instead, not because the game sucks.

This game is honestly very underrated and should get more attention and more players, just that the current situation is, like I said multiple times by now, not the greatest for SP1.

Funi plen go vroom!!1!

amazing game planes are easy to fly and make downloading also works well and the ability to have infinite miniguns is just amazing

Trust me and just get it. You'll love it.

SimplePlanes is a very easy game to get into thanks to its (it's in the name) simple designer and basic starter parts but has a more advanced tools and customizable parts that you can slowly ease into using to make your builds more realistic and detailed. Has various challenges you can make an aircraft for, a large open map to explore, and weapons along with AI to try out your aircraft in dogfights. It's not the most realistic game out there, but it is fun.

I like the fact that you have the ability to make your own interact-able cockpit for use in VR if you wanted to. You don't need to be in VR to interact with the buttons you set up in it either.


If you want to see more games like this and have trouble finding them since Steam doesn't have a store tag specifically for games about designing vehicles, I made a Steam Curator page I'm cataloging all these games into. https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45557798-Vehicle-Building-Designing-Games/

This is my childhood game. Because of this game I started loving aviation. It is easy to learn, fun and it allows you to be endlessly creative. 10/10

best game ever

very good

the planes are very simple

i still havent made a realistic plane

It is an overall good game and on PC i think it is one of the best games with just a sprinkle of mods and downloads.

good! (좋음, 추천함)

This game is just lovely to play for me it's relaxing I can't wait to play the sequel the teaser looks cool

I seriously recommend this
I mean you can have a endless mindset on what to make, F14's, F-15's, A-10 warthogs, F/A-18's, anything in your imagination or mindset

Simpleplanes is a game where a flying convoy truck armed with dual grenade launchers and a laser cannon can be taken down by a cockroach the size of your bed, and said cockroach can endure the power of the sun yet cowers in fear of a bomb smaller than a water bottle and does less damage than your parents telling you that your cousin Timmy has a PhD at age nine while you're sat at a computer getting angry at a video game for reasons unknown. 10/10, it sucked my life away and yet provided an outlet for creativity and a way to develop skills for 3D modeling.

best game ever! you can build almost anything and blow stuff up

love the game

The best sandbox games ever … i think that we need more instrument for cockpit and also weapon as like turrent and more… i also think this game should add squadron battle and i am sure this will be more fun

i relay like boats and i have always been on planes now i can drive or fly a plane and cars and ships i recomend

possibly the worst flight sandbox there is. building is so unresponsive and a pain because it's too simple.

DO NOT GET THIS GAME IF YOU VALUE CONTROLLABILITY OVER SIMPLENESS

It is simple, kind of
as an example you can't make custom engines
but the building part lacks crucial features like center of mass, center of lift, air resistance, center of thrust and you need to see them if you want a controllable airplane

either I'm blind or you just can't see stuff like that

is so good at first i wanted to return it but it got more fun with the mods DO NOT RETURN THE GAME AT FIRST IS NOT THAT GOOD BUT JUST PLAY IT MORE AND YOUR LIKE A LOT

Good shid

Never had more fun ruthlessly murdering other planes

fun

the best game know i have to play on the laptop but i think of this game its a fun game

Extremely fun

complicado de amprender pero divertido

very boring, hard to fly, and is very hard to understand.

is good

It's a good game if you have some knowledge about planes. There's no multiplayer and the ai is bad, so if you want to build planes and fight, wait for simpleplanes 2.

Had it on my hudl ran shit, broke my hudl so it would run better (still ran shit), now on new laptop runs like melted butter

The planes are simple.

I would recommend this to people who cant afford msfs20 or 24, it has alot of complexity and has lots of mods to choose from on the website! Although, there are alot of glitches on menu like buttons not working, although it has positives and negatives im giving it a review of 8.5/10 for looks over functionality!

really fun game for all ages and anyone who enjoys planes!

Absolute STUNNING game! If you have a sense of creativity than I highly recommend getting this.
Its more than just planes.

It is Simple and has Planes but I can't launch it so sad

Not fun

Best game just try it

SimplePlanes is a fun plane maker and flight tester!

fun

It's a very fun simulator, with a nice community of people who make really cool stuff. Not the most realistic flight sim, but it's great overall. Has things that War Thunder (ew) will never have.

Really fun simple games

cool game
