SimplePlanes Super Thread

Figured I've seen enough fans here and see this as a good place to post it up. This week's work. The model 1204 ACWFT.

 

[FlyGuy369]

Today's update, eleven control surfaces complete. Integrated flaps and leading edge slats. Yaw TV here as well. More to follow!

 

[BAROBA]

Nice work
I have played with Simpleplanes too, building a aircraft is hard
Do you have a link to your designs?

 

[FlyGuy369]

Here you go! The ACWFT is not on there yet:

Here it is!

Model 988 in the works!

 

[FlyGuy369]

Model 988-119 update: control surfaces are complete as well as yaw tvc installed from the drawings, fuselage development started.

Looks intriguing. My godson was really into SimplePlanes for a while and made me "help" with a couple of designs when I was visiting. Due to his age at the time there was a level of impatience at me trying to get my bearings so I acquiesced to just get things flying in a very improvised manner (rather than risk ruining his joy of experimentation out of my own position of ignorance). I think he expected me to take into anything like a duck to water.

Thus I never really got a handle on the capabilities of this game/software (at the time, it's been some years) nor whether it's anywhere near the ballpark of realistically evaluating the flying potential of one's ideas. The game seemed very forgiving in the sense of what it deemed flyable. I briefly considered getting it myself but it was way down in my priorities and keeps languishing there, especially as my godson's priorities have also shifted. Sorta nice to see this pop up anyway, still being a thing apparently.

Visiting SimplePlanes' website, the highest rated designs have obviously required quite a lot of thought and effort. Makes me wonder how entertaining and gamified actual professional design platforms could yet become.

It's a great game for simplicity's sake (no pun intended) should give it another go! They have it for mobile and is fun to plink about with.

Anyone interested in the Yak-43?

 

[FlyGuy369]

Today's update, yaw TVC is done and control surfaces are almost complete. Has been a labor of love!

Did you make that? It looks great!

 

[Geofisika]

Yes I have made this. Might post more builds later on.

Heck yeah! Do you have a funky trees cheat sheet?

 

[FlyGuy369]

Update on the Model 988, exhaust Yaw vanes are complete and control surfaces are fully programmed. Now to finish the whole rest of the beast!

I am !

That mirrors my experience pretty closely. It is very forgiving at first, but once you start pushing more complex designs the limitations and quirks become more obvious-and that’s where the challenge (and fun) really kicks in. It’s surprisingly good as a creativity and intuition tool, even if it’s not a true engineering simulator.

The same developer team is about to release the sequel, advertised with better physics, flight characteristics and more comprehensive aircraft building and customization plans within this month. The (retroactively) first game cannot replicate complicated aircraft profiles (i.e. fuselages) smoothly and sometimes does not follow physics well, so building realistic WIGs, some of the Luft'46 and advanced projects with complicated designs being out of the question there...

Simpleplanes 2 is out, and I am already cooking hard

 

[FlyGuy369]

Im trying!!! ESAV work!

 

[FlyGuy369]

It's Magnificent so far. AMRAAM bay is almost done, hit M2.3 in it

 

[FlyGuy369]

Forward weapons bays complete. EOTS with functionality, form and tip lights, markings and refueling port WIP.

 

[FlyGuy369]

What all have you guys made? I recently finished the F/A-XX, currently building the B-21
