For the price and it's current state, it's on the cuff of a recommendation
For the price and it's current state, it's on the cuff of a recommendation. It's a fun sandbox for sure, the devs are active and the stuff you can download from the community is simply amazing. However.....this sandbox toy is very bare bones. The interface is a bit clunky, the ingame textures, enviroments, and sound are below average. There is currently no multiplayer support, which is a shame, because this would be great fun with friends. This has the potential to be a lot of fun, and if it's on sale for less than $10, I would recommend, but understand you will probably spend an hour or 2 messing around with this and then get bored. With some more content, bug and graphical fixes, and multiplayer support this would be a game with much more value.

I have played Simpleplanes for about 30 hours in total, of which most before the Steam release
I have played Simpleplanes for about 30 hours in total, of which most before the Steam release. My students have also used the game to get a grasp of airplane basics, such as elevators, vertical stabilizers and the importance of aerodynamics. The game is simply (pun intended) fun and educational, not to mention full of potential. Planebuilding basics are easy to learn, but optimizing your creations requires some greatly welcome in-depth thinking. My biggest gripes are as follows: - Gravity is way too weak, meaning that dogfighting energy and diving are quite irrelevant. Just build a plane that turns as fast as possible and you are golden. Stalls are non-existant. - Multiplayer is needed. Badly! I'll give it 7/10 in it's current state.
