Since career mode and mobile version in 2019, science instruments is the most important thing I want in Simplerockets 2, one of them example: antenna, antenna is a a pair of long, thin sensory appendages irony, and it sends signal radio wave, for example, if you found and took a picture of planet or etc. depends where you are, it should take a seconds to reach the center. And making connections with earth or satellite, if you lost connection you no longer to control the craft. And next example of science instruments is Dish, Dish is dish shaped type of antenna, but it receive radio wave, and next example is Scanner it needs battery and solar panels for scanning the planet surface and it’s a monitoring device if you didn’t knew. Last thing is camera. Camera is needed for taking pictures of planets and save them as wallpaper and going away out of distant planet and take pictures for flyby. so that it.

Adding customization to rocket engines such the length, exit diameter, and curvature of the engine bell allowing for more accurate recreation of historical rockets.

Also implementing a mechanism by which they length and width impact engine performance (Isp can be calculated the exhaust escape velocity divided by gravity plus a constant multiplied by the difference in pressure at the nozzle exit and the ambient air pressure, the internal pressure can just be solved from a simple algebraic general solution which is all done in my forum post on the topic). Options of prefab parts optimized for different environments then the ability to, if the player chose, modify the engine bell to optimize it for various environments, for example a lander for some other planet with a different ambient air pressure then the earth analog would have an engine bell optimized for its particular environment.

A planetary information window giving us details on sl pressure (sea level) for the different bodies would give players more opportunities to make craft for more specific tasks as well as provide the opportunity to learn a little about rocket plumbing, which is so tragically overlooked in games.

Its just like this:

Squadron Member A.I
-They will protect you
-You can command them into formations
-You can command them to fire at will

Bomber A.I
-They will target the bridges or any destructible terrain (if you guys add more)
-Working tail gunner turret A.(pls add a variety of tail gunner parts in the gizmos section or something)

Torpedo Bomber A.I
-Same as bombers but they go for the ships
-Also make the ships flak fire at them

Escort A.I
-Add a selection menu of which plane they will escort
-They will shoot you if you get too close (like 1 mile)

Autopilot A.I
-Add a minimap that you can select waypoints that the autopilot follows.

Cruising A.I
-Planes that fly perfectly straight (pls make them adapt to the plane)

New Aggressive A.I
-A new one that targets other planes and you

Not related,but can you make things with car engines as ground targets, that will be great.
And also bigger caliber guns. Thats all.

The suspension is so hard. A giant car can run on a engine of 100hp. When you crash it just goes into pieces. Better environment like random gusts and winds. More hostile enymies. And majority of planes can take off in like...LESS THAN 100 FEET especially the stock bomber. Screens for like rc stuff. Helicopter parts like better gyro for hovering and yaw steadiness because if you yaw it just keeps on going. And why the heck is the ww2 ship so far off coast between the krakobloa and snow stone. And better water physics. Should also add gases so i can make ballons and stuff like that

In the 4 years SimplePlanes has existed, wings have stayed the same. Now that every other part has been improved, here’s some ideas for wings:

1- More realistic appearance. There are no rectangular airfoils in real life. Low-poly representations of the the current three airfoil options would be a vast improvement over the current wing shape.

2- More adjustability. The current wings’ thickness cannot be adjusted, making them disproportionately small with large builds. The player should have the option to adjust the thickness at the root and the tip. In addition, the ability to adjust wing sweep at multiple points instead of the entire wing at once would be a great help and cut down on parts counts.

3- Better connection points and more rigidity. SP wings are subject to unrealistic amounts of wing flex and also to aeroelastic flutter because the connection points aren’t secure enough. Perhaps wings could use a similar connection mechanism as fuselage blocks, or connect at multiple points?

4- More control surfaces. Currently SP only supports ailerons, elevators, and rudders, and flaps are only possible with XML modding. For added realism, the player should have the option to add simple flaps and slats. More complex options (slotted flaps, Krueger flaps, split flaps) would open a lot of doors for builders.

Most of these options have been in demand for quite some time, and currently wings are holding back SP’s potential.

Flaps/slats wings
-wing with standard flaps, customizeable range of motion
-wing with slats, on the leading edge of the wing

Modular missile!
-warhead, various sizes, choose-able air/ground setting guidance
-missile fins (editable like wings), work with the guidance system to guide missile
-rocket motors, various power levels

Modular cockpit interiors!
-fuselage block with a “pit” in it
-various dashboards
-fighter-style stick
-airliner-style yoke
-throttle stick

New canopies!
-bubble canopy, P51 style and f16 style
-glass (obviously)
-airliner cockpit windows, would conform to shape of areas applied

Bomb/missile bays!
-Shapeable like a fuselage block, multitude of internal attachment points, doors controlled by a switch by the camera view button?
