SimplePlanes VR is a flight sim with an ever-expanding collection of hand-crafted aircraft to download and fly for free. Airplanes, helicopters, cars, boats, and more are available and new crafts are added every day.
Players explore an intricate physics simulator that calculates lift, thrust, and drag with remarkable precision. The game dynamically tracks weight distribution, allowing for spectacular mid-air vehicle failures when players stress components beyond their limits. Remarkably, pilots can continue flying even after losing critical parts like wings.
Virtual reality transforms the experience through direct cockpit manipulation. Users physically grab flight controls, flip switches, and interact with instrument panels using hand tracking. Control options include motion-based hand interactions, traditional controller inputs, and full HOTAS compatibility for simulation enthusiasts.
The platform offers multiple engaging modes: sandbox exploration across varied terrains, precision racing challenges, intense combat missions targeting specific objectives, tactical scenarios like carrier landings and bomber escorts, and missile evasion challenges.
Over 100,000 user-created vehicles populate the platform, ranging from meticulously detailed historical aircraft to wildly imaginative experimental designs. Creators craft intricate, functional vehicles with unique control schemes and custom interaction methods.
Designed for accessibility, the simulation runs smoothly on moderate hardware. Its lightweight Unity engine implementation ensures stable performance across different VR systems.
VR simulation enthusiasts, casual aviation explorers, creative players who enjoy user-generated content, and gamers seeking accessible yet nuanced vehicle interactions.
