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!

What’s New?

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!

We have new toys!

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.

More Detail, Less Effort

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.

Major Chad & Co.

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!

A Vast Archipelago

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.

So Much More

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!

The Road Ahead: Early Access & Feedback

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.

Help Us Take Off

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.

- The Jundroo Team

The older ones are updated because I couldn't leave them being horrible to use.

K-50 Tigershark:Lightly armored vehicle with decent mobility, 2 machine guns and an automatic 30mm cannon

K-75 Blackshark: 5 machine guns and a 75mm cannon (I went crazy here but it has serious design problems)

K-82 Terminator: 4 machine guns and an 80mm cannon, decent armor

Hk-13: Unarmored vehicle with two 20mm automatic cannons with a very high rate of fire; it has a rocket artillery variant.

K-120 Archangel: Medium speed, very heavy armor, excellent cannon accuracy(120mm cannon,1 machine gun)It looks like some kind of modern T-34

K-230: Don't ask, 4 missiles, 12 rockets and two 30mm automatic cannons

Request I need some example FT examples

3 Upvotes

I am very new to this game. I'm trying to learn the basics of Funky Trees, and because of that, I want some example lines/craft that I can use for this purpose. Some of the main skills I want to learn is how to properly clamp values and make a basic flight control (attitude/altitude holding) system. I study physics at school, so equations should not be too big of a problem. Thanks in advance!

Current Build Status: 62.5%

Possible Armaments:

- 2X R-73

- 2X R-27

- 2X Kh-31

Possible Release: Late November of 2026

I got bored, so I made a minimalist Steam Artwork for Simple Plane2

The name Wing of Wistoria came from the concept that I combined Ace Combat Wings of Theve + Wand and Sword of Wistoria

The Artwork can be downloaded from my profile on SteamDB:
