About this game

Note: This game requires at least 512MB of RAM and a 1GHz CPU.

Bring all of the imaginative aircraft you've had in your head to life.

Snap parts together to build your airplane's body. Place engines to add thrust. Design the wings and then strap yourself into the pilot's seat and see how it flies.

AIRPLANE DESIGNER
You have the tools you'll need to bring almost any airplane to life. Use the flexible wing tool to change the shape of the wings and build almost anything.

Next-generation fighters, WW2 warbirds, civilian aircraft, and everything in between, some people have even made dragons, trains, and space stations.

DYNAMIC FLIGHT MODEL
Flight simulation at its finest. Every little change you make in the designer impacts how the airplane flies. Weight distribution, thrust, lift, and drag are all calculated before creating the final flight model.

REALTIME DAMAGE
Parts can break off in spectacular fashion while flying due to over-stress or by hitting something. The fun won't stop there though. You can keep on flying even with a missing wing if you've got the skills.

SANDBOX MODE
Test your airplane with no restrictions. So, you've had a rough landing and the left engine was knocked off? After watching the engine fly off into the sunset you may decide to go ahead and slap the throttle to full...give it another go with only one engine.

CHALLENGES
Climb into the cockpit of one of your custom aircraft and see how it does in the challenges. The challenges will keep you entertained for hours. Land on aircraft carriers, dodge surface-to-air missiles, race through courses, and so much more.

AIRPLANE PAINTER
Use pre-built themes, or paint every part of your bird to make it just the way you want. Share your favorite stylings with all of your friends.

CROSS-PLATFORM AIRPLANE SHARING
There are no in-app purchases to get access to the airplanes people have shared; they are all available to download for free from http://www.SimplePlanes.com. You can use them even if they were made on another platform.

CONTROLLER SUPPORT
SimplePlanes supports USB gamepads/joysticks, and provides in-game input mapping for each control surface, as well as throttle, brakes, landing gear, pausing, cameras, etc.

EDUCATIONAL
Tutorials will help players learn the basics of real airplane design and the considerations that need to be taken when airplanes are made.

I loved this game. I love the physics and love how you can make your own aircraft as well as download those made by others. Worth every penny I spent on it. The only things I ask be added is heatseeking missiles and sonic booms in flyby view when your aircraft is exceeding the speed of sound. In regards to the missiles, both chaff and flares work to defend against both Fox 1 and Fox 3 missiles. Only chaff should be able to work against them, as they are both forms of radar-guided missiles.

I had this game since 2021 on an old IPad, which broke sometime around 2023, maybe? But it really has not changed a lot when I got it on my new phone, which is good, unlike minecraft with the new UI stuff. It retains it's original charm as a fun flight simulator that any one with a basic understanding on how to fly a plane can play, and if you don't, we'll that's okay because there is a helpful tutorial that teaches you the basics. So yeah, this game is really although it's old as hell.

it plays very similarly to the pc version, minus compatability with a few mods and some air-air combat challenges. the other reviews made me expect a laggy mess, especially with my old phone, but its actually pretty well optimized. it still has brief lag spikes but, again, old phone. its about as close to a flight sim as a mobile game with building block mechanics can get, and it hits close too in my book. if you have the spare change i would recommend this port.
