@Pedro a procedural piston engine would make the simple cub a lot more enjoyable to fly, and prop craft better to build. although the generator sounds realistic, it lacks throttle tamber. Plus, there's alot of conversion math in trying to make power output accurate with that setup vs. An engine.
@starmango I'm sorry it came off as whiney but the closest thing to a generator driven electric motor in real life is a turbine engine and that's a stretch. His answer is far from truthful and is invalidating.
@LeMagicBaguette do generators apply a torque through reciprocating motion from 1 or more pistons? Oh no they don't? Stop trying to invalidate other's opinions through fake data.
IF YOU WANT THIS GAME TO REPLACE SIMPLEPLANES, MAKE IT REPLACE SIMPLEPLANES!!!
Procedural Internal Combustion Engines with optional number of cylenders/arangement (Radial, straight, slant, Boxer, H and V)
with Horse power/torque options
and procedural transmissions for connecting to wheels
with number of gears/gear ratio options
So many times players on both sides ask "where's Simpleplanes heading? Where's Simplerockets 2 heading? When is the next update?" I've come to believe that when the devs go quiet especially for a year it means something big is coming.
When I first got Simplerockets 2 I did it for 2 reasons. To support Jundroo and to see if I'd like it. I was very disappointed.
Fast forward to two years ago and I knew I'd eventually be fully switching over from Simpleplanes. This update right here is probably when that happens.
As for the name change, Absolutely does it need to happen. It needed to happen when the jet engine was added. I can't wait for my nefew to see this game and for my kids to grow up playing it.
@Tully2001 until we can mirror individual parts and mirror around anything, not just fuel tanks, what you said is a lie. Please see my rant that i posted.
When will a mod tools pack with procedural jet engines be released and is there a chance we can get a unity ready bundle of 3d models to support the settings to port over to Simpleplanes?
Now if we can get prop engines, cameras, weapons, and the ability to change the end angle on inlets and fuselage blocks... Oh and the landing gear from so
I'm gonna give this a try

1.2 years ago@LeMagicBaguette that would be awesome
1.2 years ago@LeMagicBaguette interesting. Can it be used in conjunction with a fixed output electric motor?

+1 1.2 years agoThis is a really bad idea, because there's no way to monitor what images may be included in a build.
1.3 years ago@Pedro you guys should do a dlc that ads the parts from Simpleplanes and an importer. I'd buy it @AndrewGarrison

1.9 years ago@Jerba That was This and i don't think Jundroo can use it as the modder took it to Team Flyout.

4.6 years agoif you add weapons and petral/piston engines for cars and planes I might consider trying to play the game.

5.9 years ago@NathanMikeska thanks for the tip.
6.0 years agoWill it be possible to port parts (including their models) from Simplerockets 2 to Simpleplanes? And of course vice versa?
6.0 years ago@NathanMikeska I am happy to report that I got it to work. even the rudder pedals work unlike simpleplanes, which has them off center.
6.1 years ago@NathanMikeska correct and i have to look at it. I'm at the hospital right now.
