We Love It's Guide to…

SimplePlanes

You design aircraft by assembling parts, shaping wings, and placing engines. The builder lets you create a range of designs, from conventional planes to more unusual craft. Take your creations into the cockpit and test how they fly. Weight, thrust, lift, and drag affect handling, and parts can break under stress or impact, changing how a craft performs. Fly in a sandbox or take on challenges such as carrier landings, bomber escorts, missile evasion, and races. You can also download and share other players’ craft, upload your own designs, and create mods.

Build aircraft from parts, tune them against flight physics, then pilot your creations through challenges or free flight.

From the Devs

Over 100,000 airplanes are available to download for free from Find anything from old WW2 bombers to next generation fighters to sci-fi spacecrafts. You can upload your own airplanes and rise through the ranks from a bronze builder to a gold level builder.

LOOKING FOR VR?

Are you looking for the new SimplePlanes VR? After you get to the bottom of this page, you can check out the list showing a quick comparison between SimplePlanes and SimplePlanes VR.

DYNAMIC FLIGHT MODEL

Flight simulation at its finest. Every little decision you make while designing will impact how you fly it. Weight distribution, thrust, lift, and drag are all calculated continuously while flying. Parts can break off in a spectacular fashion while you're flying due to over-stress or by impacting something. The fun won't stop there though. You can keep on flying even with a missing wing if you've got the skills.

CHALLENGES

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

SANDBOX

Use all available parts to build airplanes with no restrictions. The sky is the limit. Literally.

MODDING

Modding is fully supported so you can build your own parts and environments. Download our Unity package which includes specially designed tools to aid in designing and building mods which you can then share with your friends and the community.

Still have a question about SimplePlanes vs. SimplePlanes VR? Let's see if this helps...

Both games have access to the same crafts*
SimplePlanes includes an aircraft builder, SimplePlanes VR does not.
Except for those which require building; all challenges, islands, locations, aircraft, etc. are available in both games.
Buying both of them on Steam will automatically enable VR in SimplePlanes. After VR is enabled in SimplePlanes you can do everything there, without switching games.

*See SimplePlanes VR's store page for information related to downloading crafts in VR.
