There is a mirror function that takes some frustration away from trying to make each side of the plane symmetric. It’s far too easy to think you’ve attached a wing to the fuselage at just the right point only to change the viewing angle and realize it’s floating in mid-air and not attached at all. There are a huge number of Lego-like components - engines, wings, landing gear, fuel tanks, bombs, etc - but the way the camera and assembly window function make aligning parts more of a challenge than it should be. The heart of SimplePlanes is the construction set, and it’s both flexible and a bit frustrating to use.
#SIMPLEPLANES SEARCH SERIES#
While the game has a series of short tutorial missions designed to introduce the player to the most basic aspects of aircraft control, bombing, dogfighting and effect of components and weight on performance, the majority of instruction is non-interactive and will come from pouring over the manual. Of course, slapping together fanciful or awesome looking planes is one thing and getting them to actually take off, fly, and land is another, much more daunting challenge altogether, requiring a good, basic understanding of aerodynamics and flight physics. A flight simulator and construction kit in the Kerbal Space Program genre - minus the adorable presentation and depth - SimplePlanes allows the user to construct a near infinite number of real and fantasy winged aircraft, not to mention helicopters, tanks and dragons.
Originally appearing on iOS, SimplePlanes has made its way to PC.
