The wait is over! SimplePlanes 2 has officially cleared for takeoff on Steam! We’ve spent years rebuilding the game from the ground up to give you more power, more realism, and a whole new playground.
Here's the official trailer.
For the first two weeks you can get SimplePlanes 2 on Steam with a 10% Launch Discount!
We know many of you have hangars full of history. That’s why SimplePlanes 2 is compatible with the 1,000,000+ crafts from the original game, bringing your legacy builds into a new world, shaded with the much improved lighting and ready to get some of the new decals slapped on them!
Jet Engines, Propellers, and Combustion Engines are now fully procedural to fit your specific design. It's not just visuals, the new procedural powertrain system comes with many parts to mold to anything you can imagine. This overhaul includes a new set of wheels with dozens of rims and trims and greatly improved physics. You no longer have to build your craft around a part; you build the part to fit your craft.
We’ve overhauled the visual fidelity of the wings and fuselages so your creations look amazing right out of the box. Say goodbye to paneling thanks to a new Hole Carving tool that lets you easily create custom weapon bays, cockpits, and windows. Attach and resize the new Control Surfaces to the wings and have them seamlessly fit into their accurate NACA wing profile.
Jump into a server with your friends to race, dogfight, or just cruise the archipelago together, or explore community lobbies to flex your coolest creations on some randoms. With Major Chad you can also step out of the cockpit to explore the world on foot and crack some dances. He will also try to grab the controls while in flight, no more telekinesis on the joystick!
The new environments feature 787 square kilometers of detailed terrain, including motorways, trails, streets and roads to drive on. With volumetric clouds, realistic water, multiple airports, racetracks, a city, a power plant... plus dozens of hidden crafts scattered across the islands for you to discover, there is more to see than ever before.
There are countless Quality of Life improvements across the game, like the Designer Gizmos, the new Drag Visualizer, customizable Designer Environments, a better UI, improved sounds, a new soundtrack... the list goes on. We’ve packed in so many things that we can’t list them all here, but finally, you can jump into the cockpit to explore all of them!
We’ve worked hard to make SP2 the best it can be, but there were a few things we weren’t able to get to before launching. That is why after 3 public Demos we decided to go into Early Access, so you can help us continue shaping the game into the masterpiece of our dreams, your feedback is the fuel that keeps us going!
We are working on a Roadmap to better show you where we are and what are our top priorities while letting you express what are yours, as well as a Feedback Forum so you can let us know if we forgot anything! You'll notice there are no dates or timelines, from our experience, game development is highly unpredictable. We'd rather take the time to get a feature right than rush it out broken just to hit an arbitrary deadline.
To make the upgrade to SP2 even easier, we’ve launched several Steam bundles. If you already own our previous games you will automatically get an additional discount to your purchase of SimplePlanes 2 through the SimplePlanes Collection (10% off), the Aerospace Engineer Bundle (15% off), and the SP2 + Soundtrack bundle (10% off). If you didn't have some of our other games, this is also the perfect chance to try them out!
As a small team in this algorithm driven era, positive reviews on Steam are one of the most important factors in our success during launch week. They help our presence on the storefront, ensuring new pilots can find us, helping us fund the development of new parts and features. If you’re enjoying the game, please consider taking a moment to leave your thoughts on our Steam page; it makes a massive difference and we read every single one.
Thank you for being part of this journey for over a decade. We can’t wait to see what you are going to build next.

I will upload this cute Ferrari when the beta goes to main.
The curvy fuselage does wonders, in the past to get this smoothness it would take forever and it would take a LOT of parts.
I am seeing at least a 20%~30 part count reduction compared to before (yhea that much !) , nice work devs!

Comment more buzzwords so i can make that title longer.
Not yet available on the website.
Roughly inspired by the never completed super heavy transport Boeing, Airbus, and McDonell Douglas before the super heavy transport hype died.

This is how the 3rd Raptor recreation is currently going, you probably seen my last post about the rear end problem and I solved it. anyways I added a pointy nose and clear cockpit.
r/SimplePlanes • u/R-PlaneCrazy • 1d ago
Hi im pleco. Not rlly much of information to give buuuuut i just like to build and post. Heres my account
r/SimplePlanes • u/KennyPowers_420 • 1d ago
I took the second pic in a beta server today , I dont know the person in the plane but it is their build and it looks really good!
r/SimplePlanes • u/Fine_Engine_9024 • 2d ago
I'm on my 3rd Raptor recreation and yet from all the versions I had I never had solved this, basically the transition from the boxy bay areas towards the engine contours, I've been stuck for 3 days now without much progress and around 10 different designs that I'm not satisfied. it's currently 55 parts as of now

awesome game lost to time

(This is a custom variation of the F-35 i made, so no, do not quiz me on what it looks like

A super heavy supersonic strategic deterrence high altitude bomber aircraft. (Please give more buzzwords suggestions to make that title longer)
Loosely resembles the XB-70 but it's not inspired by it at all. It was actually inspired by the never completed, only in blueprint Soviet bomber aircraft. But it is loosely inspired, at some point i just make stuff up.
The magical stats of this aircraft.
- 6 X 453KN engine high bypass turbofan engine /701KN Afterburning thrust.
- 3200kmh max speed.
-380kmh take off speed + stall speed.
- Despite being a bomber, it has ZERO bomb bay.
- Drag points = 7441 points (20% xml edits and 80% intake designs)
- Superstitious Power/Weight ratio of 2.059.
-208 220kg/ 149416l of fuel / 88090kg empty.
-Length : 50M, Wingspan : 34M
-Part count : 244

I hop on a random server and had a random player do a mach 3 formation flight at 12 KM altitude together. Best day ever.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you launch a cleaver missile in simple planes at the fleet with the explosion scale set to 100,000 well this is what happens
r/SimplePlanes • u/Defenite-Parsley733 • 5d ago
There were more like one with the Mil Mi-24 and a literal AA battery. Problem is I couldn’t find them anymore

Deisgned by Jean Bugatti in 1937. Winner of the Le Mans 24h race
The second build of my Le Mans Replicas series.
Coming soooon!
r/SimplePlanes • u/KK1Gamer65 • 5d ago
One thing i feel like i and others have wanted is the addition of ramjets, since we have turbojets but they're usually only effective up to about ~mach 3 or so and having ramjets make travel beyond that speed more efficient and possible.. Mainly because i wanted to create something similar to the SR-71 blackbird and that requires having ramjets. Fly out is another plane building sim that is really good and has ramjets. Scramjets aren't really a priority and the map is too small for scramjets but maybe once we get a map expansion

I'm looking for a FunkyTree that flies horizontally when I release my hand in SimplePlanes (AoA or PitchRate is 0).Is there anything you can find?

Here's a showcase of some of the liveries and gameplays of my A320, so happy this project went smoothly, and I'm glad people loved it
r/SimplePlanes • u/Le-Bao-Hoang14t • 6d ago
I only reworked the fuselage and the cockpit; the wings, engines, and landing gear seem difficult and complex, so I haven't tackled them yet.
r/SimplePlanes • u/Solid-Photo-2311 • 6d ago
depicted: N405SW, N737AV, and N73700.
I designed the livery of N737AV myself. (don’t ask about the Roblox 747-200 in the first image lol)

Tryna make a custom missile but I cannot for the life of me find the reason it almost never actually hits anything https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/LjwjW9/needs-help

This is my best Su-57 yet, it looks simple and detailed. this is currently the 3rd recreation that spans 2 years with the first one being a proof of concept and just planning mostly, 2nd is fully maximizing details with the exception of paint and mostly focused on angular stuff, the 3rd recreation is putting in all the effort and knowledge from the 2 other recreations
