    The only one I've played so far is SimplePlanes 2, which I didn't really vibe with. I can't help but be impressed by the breadth of its physics, but something about the "so polished that every corner and rough edge has been rounded off and sanded down" feel of it turned me off.

    I like to create mashups of different planes in the SimplePlanes video game. Here I built an A-4 Skyhawk and combined it with the wings from an A-1 Skyraider. Very happy with the results. I love this game.

    Great game, wonderful community. I've been playing SimplePlanes for over nine years. I could say loads, but I'll keep this short: The game is wonderful. It has flaws, many of them, but overall is a great time with plenty to do and many mechanics to master (perhaps a few too many, one could argue, but I digress). Much more importantly, however, is that the community is the best I've ever been in. Perhaps I'm biased, with years of connections and experiences that new players wouldn't…

    Honestly for the average player, this game is not fun to play I tried building a unique looking jet and for the past 20 minutes I couldn't get it to properly fly. I've seen countless other aircraft that look like they shouldn't fly and yet they do but when I try to make a simple jet I somehow I just fail and makes some weird cobra maneuver and plumets straight into the ground and like I've said, I spent around 20 minutes trying to fix the problem and I got nowhere. The game has no sort of way…

    (I have somewhere in the ball park of 5000 hours on mobile) This game is perfect for engineers, and designers, as well as people who wanna destress. There is a very active community of builders full of amazing aircrafts and designs. This is truely a title to fall in love with. (Great on Deck) 10 out of 10

    I have only 10 hours of playtime on my steam but in total on other devices I have well over 200+ hours and can confidently say this game is THE GOAT for engineering and learning flight mechanics. Super easy to get into and if your bored just download the millions of planes so would recommend for life.

    Great game. 10/10. will not see time flying by. It has a slight learning curve but as long as you are interested in making planes, making innovative (and possibly dumb) designs, you can play this game for perharps infinity. Bought it on the spring discount. Money well spent.

    I really like simpleplanes because it allows you to create anything aslong as it follows simple physics. If you want to create a super powerful jet thats insanely fast and has VTOL you can, but the good thing is that you need to sit down and learn. Like its not unnecessarily hard to create a good looking jet that performs well, if you want to make it hyperealistic there are mods for that too. I so far made a SU-24M Fencer and a F-16 Falcon (Viper). Not only did this game make me love planes…

    The plane building is absolutely awful if you wish to make anything more complex than the starter plane. Tutorial does not cover any of the newer blocks/modeling system/cockpit system. No multiplayer by default and only about 10 missions that are either dead-easy or impossibly hard

    Idk why but, Simpleplanes for me simply became my very favorite sandbox game, due to that i'm really obsessed at building airplanes and even much fun than Roblox in my opinion. ah yea, this is KI-5 Savior the successor of KI-4 Child Angel shown on screenshots.

    Instead of playing Roblox, i'm now obsessed at that sandbox game called "SimplePlanes", where you may build planes for whatever you want! Oh! this is my chibi F-22 with his big cake~ (and it was kinda hard to make it)

    I must admit the game had its shortcomings at first-mainly its lack of multiplayer PVP, which I was really hoping for. In the end, I still really enjoyed the game since it was a wonderful flight and engineering game. Furthermore, it serves as one of the best offline and multiplier aircraft games I had ever tried, even saving my life from boredom as my internet went out for a couple days straight. I would certainly support this for other players.

The one thing I'll say about this game is that you have to be patient while getting into the game. The learning curve is rough but the outcome of staying with it is amazing

    I used to play this so much on my Android tablet back when it first came out! It was one of the very first steam games I ever purchased 😸 You can easily import other people's aircrafts into the game to fly and test out. Only downside. Flight sticks are a pain in the butt to set up I recommend checking out simple planes 2 for multiplayer. I played some of the beta test and need to pick up a copy of it since it's released.
