About the Game
SimplePlanes 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the original aircraft-building classic, featuring new parts, shiny new graphics, chaotic multiplayer, new physics, and more!

Build planes using enhanced wing and fuselage parts. It's easier than ever to build the plane of your dreams! Reshape the airfoil of your wings using real NACA profiles with overhauled flight physics, or use improved fuselage editing to create an endless variety of shapes. Then grab your input device of choice (mouse/keyboard, controller, and HOTAS are all supported) and fly!

Build anything else you can imagine using a host of new parts. With the new suite of procedural powertrain parts, you can build cars, propeller aircraft, forklifts, and so much more, with detailed physics. If you're overwhelmed by the idea of building something from scratch, there are tons of stock crafts available from the start that you can load, tune, and reverse engineer, with an extra 40+ hidden around the map waiting to be discovered!
Make your crafts your own with paint texturing and engine tuning. Once you've put your craft together, you can use the improved paint tool to give it colour and texture. Then when that's done, you can get into the nitty gritty with engine customization, tweaking the size, cylinder count, transmission, and more to get your craft running exactly the way you want it.

Craft procedural missiles and blow your enemies to smithereens. SimplePlanes 2 features a brand new procedural missile part that gives you a blank canvas to create the perfect weapon. Change the size, the guidance type, give it as many visual details as you want, and more! Then you can watch it turn your target into a fireball with the new volumetric explosions!

Take your new creation through beautiful environments packed with detail. The new SimplePlanes Archipelago is a lovingly crafted world covered in trees, roads, rivers, airports, and even a race track. Explore 787 square kilometers of detailed terrain above and below the water, drive through 330 kilometers of roads, explore Vetusta City, or take to the seas with new water graphics and physics.

Cause chaos in a variety of activities in multiplayer, or just hang out. With multiplayer, you can play with up to nine other players (or even more in a private lobby) and finally test your crafts on something other than bots. Race each other, kill each other, co-operate with each other, and more! And with our new playable mascot, Major Chad, you can get out and stretch your legs with other players as well!
Download 1,000,000+ crafts made by the community for free, even from SimplePlanes 1. SimplePlanes 2 features backwards compatibility with crafts made in the original SimplePlanes, meaning over a decade of history is seamlessly playable just as it was before. Please note that while we've made an effort to support these old crafts as well as possible, we still can't guarantee that all of them will behave the way they were originally supposed to.

Thank you!!!
SimplePlanes 2 has been the best PC launch we’ve ever had, reaching 1063 peak concurrent players on Steam this past Saturday, breaking the record of 885 concurrent players that the original SimplePlanes set 10 whole years ago. We really can’t thank you all enough for playing and enjoying SP2. We’ve poured our hearts into it for years, and it’s been so amazing seeing that work pay off in such a fantastic way. This is only the beginning of our early access journey, and we can’t wait to discover what the future holds with you all <3

v0.7.1 & v0.7.2
Bug Fixes
Added Submit Bug Report button to designer and flight menu flyouts
Fixed a bug where the craft list panels were sorting craft by their display name instead of their file name
Fixed bug where powertrain parts connected to non-powertrain parts could cause the game to become unresponsive on craft load
Fixed a crash on MacOS when attempting to spawn a craft for which a craft XML file could not be found
Fixed a bug were screenshots for bug reports and craft uploads would fail on Windows with HDR enabled
Fix physx collider errors on wings where control surfaces are adjacent to bends
Fixed a bug that could cause the train locomotive to show up in unexpected places for a frame or two when it spawns (in single player or a multiplayer server)
Prevent AI spawn panel from showing or randomly spawning undiscovered hidden crafts
Renaming a craft now also updates the craft's name in its XML
Misc
Added a designer basics tutorial step about the single part modifier key
