Hey everyone,It’s getting late in 2025, and we’ve been hearing a familiar question more and more: "When is the game actually coming out?" So, let’s talk about it. I’ve got good news and bad news.The good news: We finally have a release month The bad news: It's not until next yearWe are going to release SimplePlanes 2 on Steam as Early Access in March of 2026. We're still considering what the initial price will be, most likely it will be $20 or $25 with a 10% launch discount and that price will go up when we exit Early Access. At this point we don't expect to delay the mobile release, but it's

Welcome to the first of many SimplePlanes 2 dev blogs! We're going to be doing one of these about every couple weeks or so, sometimes more. Each one will showcase a multitude of features focused around a central theme. For this first post, the central theme will be on the map. We've got quite a lot to cover here! Real quickly though, if you want to see individual segments of these dev blogs several days early as they're written, check out the #showcases channel in our official Discord server.

We've pushed out a tiny (and I do mean tiny) update for SimplePlanes. This is pretty much a maintenance update to prepare for SimplePlanes 2, which we are aiming to launch later this year. Here are the change notes: Added SimplePlanes 2 button to the SANDBOX section in the main menu Added special error dialog when attempting to load a craft made in SimplePlanes 2 Updated Unity to 2022.3.41f1 Fixed parachute activation expression not recognizing aircraft variables

This isn't the official start of the playtest just yet — we're still working hard to get things ready. But we want to start gathering a pool of potential testers so that, when the time comes, we can begin bringing people in gradually. The plan is to invite testers in small batches at first, then open things up more as we go. We're aiming for a wide range of experience levels and plays

Today we are releasing our final update for SimplePlanes. Release notes are here. We had a few small features and several bug fixes that have accumulated in our repo so we decided to finish them up and push out a final update before sailing away to the next project(s). This will be our last update for SimplePlanes, unless we have any critical issues that pop up, but hey that doesn't mean the story ends here! You might ask "is the next major project SimplePlanes 2?" Great question! That's a very strong contender and there are other ideas that we are very excited about as well. The team has been

Building immersive cockpits in SimplePlanes has never been an easy task, but that ends today. The new update brings a whole bunch of new parts and features that make this so easy that even I can build one now. Here's the new update trailer: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11170158/e80d624223b5868a95be4a3f458c02e21a7f8e79.png Image from Alisuchanka's P-40F-10 Warhawk FUSELAGE SLICING Use the new Fuselage Slicing to cut holes in your fuselages.

Welcome to the much-awaited 1.11 beta! We've really had to do our best to bring it to you this month, so some things might be a little rough around the edges but we'll be fixing stuff as it comes up. This update mainly focuses on enabling builders to create immersive and part-efficient cockpits in their craft with much less hassle than before, which will make them far more suited to SimplePlanes VR, releasing alongside SP 1.12 which will contain mostly VR features for those who have purchased SPVR as well. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11170158/24dd0b16eabf58ad21e2d9e2544c3ac29dcc1634.png Image taken by
