SPROCKET FOR THE SKIES? | Flyout first impressions!

I'll say it a thousand times, thank you to the wonderful people over on the flyout discord as well as the moderators who worked to get me access to the early release of this game. I honestly appreciate it more than words can express.

Happy to see all these insanely in-depth vehicle making games coming out, it's always been a pipedream to see stuff like this!

[@keekorsomthin]

Well, we lacked technology, but now we have it and it's fuckin awesome damnit!

[@LordGangrel]

There was also Automation that went open beta/early access around 10 years ago. Going slow, but if you like designing cars and getting into every detail, it's pretty good. What I notice all these have in common is that they're slow development, labor of love kind of games, with just one or a handful of devs.

[@sharkk127]

Simple planes has been a thing for, well, God knows how long

[@waitholdonwhat28]

This is a worthy Simpleplanes competitor or a successor

[@brokeandtired]

Looks like Republic P-43 Lancer... www.lasecondaguerramondiale.org/media/k2/items/cache/d6f811fd0c668b06401e12f22b91eabb_XL.jpg

[@messier82ac]

Fantastic Plane! Looks better than my first build honestly... They may not fly the best, but nothing feels quite the same as building and flying your first aircraft. Can't wait to see anything you may build in the future! Oh and P.S, there is a little green gear button next to the fly button, you can use that to select your airfield

[@theangrierbrit]

honestly, that plane you made is more like a 1.7 its got a bad engine (sorry) but a pretty damn good turn rate, its got a really good armament too, 4 50. cals is REALLY potent. And your second version is probably a 2.3-2.7, its got a good engine, i'd say it retains less energy in a turn and might turn slower? and i think it has the same armament, so the first version is more of a low tier turn fighter while the second version is more of a low tier energy fighter? also they both look AMAZING

[@halodude4481]

So warthunder tiers for how good something is? I didn’t know other people did that

[@galacticdragon9841]

well to me the acceleration of the second one was just insane if you looked at when he took off and also, the turn rate and climb rate in air rb is faster than what it would be irl if I remember correctly.

[@theangrierbrit]

@@galacticdragon9841 not sure if thats the case in air RB, never really tested it but i think thats the case in air AB. Anyways i am pretty sure the second one lost more speed in the turn, and by "good engine" i meant it had a good acceleration and climb rate, so im not sure what you are trying to say

[@guyman2674]

All we need now is a train building game with this level of customization, and my life will be complete

[@8Hornet]

trains are not as big of a part as tanks and planes, but yeah i guess so, you could always just play stormworks though

[@jucaesar4961]

I would really like to see how the aerodynamics of the unique aircraft get calculated and how one might use different airfoil profiles for a desired specific effect.

[@quakxy_dukx]

I’d recommend Messier82AC if you haven’t already seen his videos. It seems the game is able to calculate some very complex foil and fuselage shapes. It even has a built in radar score so you can make stealth aircraft with shaping alone

[@corvid6923]

Woah, this looks pretty cool! Excited to see where this goes and what strange aircraft you’ll make Patch :3

[@josiahrodriguez8020]

It'd be awesome to see some alternative history vehicles, like designs that existed but weren't ever produced. There's a bunch of old design books at my University and I'm sure they can be found at other libraries. It might be cool to see some designs that blend early Jet propulsion with propellers!

[@Herra_Perkele]

man, i can’t wait until this game releases. looks absolutely awesome

[@joseagui4924]

Any clue if it’ll be on Steam after release?

[@Herra_Perkele]

@@joseagui4924 yeah, it’s confirmed that it will be on steam when it releases

[@Niskan40]

I so badly want access to this game :) I am a 3D modeler and have been designing planes in Blender for years, and also KSP. So this would be awesome! This is a next level creative game! I've been following Flyout for more that 2 years now :P

[@joshstreet6819]

What you started out with looks like across between the F2A Buffalo and P-36 Hawk. This is looking like it's going to be more fun then KSP when it comes to building aircraft.

[@artandstuff9026]

I'd love to see some more flyout videos from you! Keep up the amazing work!

[@AdamBrzozowski]

Wonder how long it would take to see a video of patchbits building a flying tank? 🤔 Edit: i also wonder how long it would take to see a video of him making a plane in sprocket 🤔

[@wagonrestorant8032]

Try out Simple Planes too! It's a similar plane-building game but a bit easier to get accustomed to (e.g. no need to fiddle with the propeller settings if you don't want to). There are also missions and freely flying AI planes. Also it's been released long ago

[@aynersolderingworks7009]

Simpleplanes is nice but it was pretty abandoned by devs after vr update :/

[@Isaac-ho8gh]

Its much less realistic though. I used to enjoy it some years ago but I didn't know much about any engineering at the time.

[@petro3366]

I really like the idea of you creating your own tech-tree, seems like a lot of fun! Also, for a game with such complex building mechanics, I believe it would be quite helpful for a lot of us if you did these extended build segments and maybe commented a bit on how you make your planes perform well

[@PatchBits]

I'll definitely be extending the building segment in the future! This time lapse is quite literally 9 hours of recording, due to me learning the ropes, so I chose to stick to my usual format at least for now! 😅

[@mycatistypingthis5450]

I hope there's a synchronizer on that first plane! This game looks awesome.

[@WRC_Citroen940]

The first plane in this video looks like a Reggiane Re.2000, loved it!

[@Streaky100001]

I'd love to see a rendition of some British cold war jets. Vulcan, Buccaneer, Lightning, being some key names that come to mind right off the bat. Also....... someone just has to do TSR2 with this as an alt history thing were it didn't get scrapped.

[@trabi601enjoyer]

Nice! Flyout is a beautiful thing. I first noticed it's development several years ago and was lucky enough to get my key on 31-12-2022. Since then, it is my most played game.

[@DecidedlyNinja]

More Flyout content please. There's so little of it on youtube and I can't play it for myself.

[@DaCouchWarrior]

Daaaamn. This editor looks more complex and yet more simple to make conplex things.

[@limeland]

you should definitely make your own tech tree, that sounds very cool

[@uranium_devourer]

I'm so excited to play this game when it comes out

[@Tounushi]

This'd serve to fulfill so many frankenplane fantasies... Like captured Soviet fighters with German engines or radial engine planes turned to inline engine planes, etc.

[@Tigershark_3082]

I had ideas for a story I'm working on, which involved some rather cursed creations One of them was an F-20 Tigershark, but powered by a GE F110, and with high-mounted wings (YF-17-style LERX, Super Hornet-style intakes [but a bit smaller], etc) I can't wait to try and build that in this game

[@enderjed2523]

Lucky you, there's only 100 early access keys if I remember correctly. But it's good to see that messier82 will now have some friendly competition going forward.

[@TheZerech]

I cant wait for this game to release, even if I'm too bad at STEM to make anything remotely functional myself. Please keep making vids on this, also, I love the WWII props! Such a creatice and iconic era of experimentation. Edit: love the IK-3 shout out!

[@gigabytegallery7305]

I'd love to see a running theme of these type of sandbox games, maybe something like : "Hel-Kit" A Helicopter themed game, or maybe even a heavily intricate & complex style of Beyblades in a sandbox game like these

You should check out simple planes. You can build pretty much everything, and you can download other people's stuff

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

Potentially perfect idea for first Build Request...? "Japanese Zero". Why? Anytime ya accidentally crash in it cause ya are still gettin the hang of the game and Controls, ya can claim it wasn't a 'Skill Issue'... it was just simply "Roleplaying"! ;P Also, I wonder if Yzuei would be interested in this game...? I wonder if it'll be possible later in development for ya two to play together in a 2-Seater Co-op Plane, like those kind in BF5 where there was a Driver and a Plane Turret Operator...? (One or two of the planes in that game were even able to have TWO Turrets for 3 Seats in total!)

[@prussianglory4518]

What do you mean different compared to the ''european'' camouflage schemes. Russians are European so by definition anything they do is European too. Unless you want to claim that the bigger chunk of Russian territory is in Asia and therefor Russia is Asian. In that case during WW2 the bigger part of the French Empire was in Africa and the bigger part of the British Empire was in India, so by that logic France is African and Britain is Asian? The core population of Russia is European and lives in Europe the asian parts are colonised land.

[@theothertonydutch]

I do prefer piston aircraft over jets. I just love anything with too many moving parts. Kind of want to make something weird like a 12 engined push-pull configuration.

[@jonsouth1545]

For the era the Top speed of the first plane isn't that bad you are being overly harsh, you got over 300kph and it was still increasing when you started bleeding speed with maneuvers. You never gave it enough time to see its real top speed you need at least 10 mins straight and level flight to get an accurate figure. The plane you built looks very much like a P-36 Hawk (a plane from 1938) which had a cruise speed of 430kph and a top speed of 504kph. I'm 1 million percent certain that if you just got over your chronic impatience for a couple of mins and gave the plane enough time to actually accelerate to its top speed before playing with it that plane would be in the 450-500kph range which would be very competitive for the early to mid-1930s design. I think I saw a brief look at the engine power and it looked like it was in the 800hp range. The Italian G-50 was built in 1937 and was also a radial-engined fighter and had a maximum speed of 470kph while the Koolhoven F.K.58 did 483kph and the Fokker D.XXI did 460 kph and your design has up to double the firepower of any of these and for the mid-1930s is massively over armed the Italian designs of the period had 2 50.cal's the US designs at the time period had 1 50 cal and 1 30 cal while everyone else had 4 30 cal's until the late 30's. The closest contemporary fighter in terms of firepower to your first design is the Japanese KI-27 which had 1 50 and 2 30 cal guns.

[@TheFridge]

I would suggest building something specific to a challenge. EG, sound barrier, altitude records and the like

PLEASE MAKE THE DEVASTATOR FROM CRIMSON SKIES

[@tommeakin1732]

If you want to do the "build a tech tree" thing, I'd like to suggest you get quite creative and come up with a set of fictional factions with their own "primary faction traits". Good, bad, aesthetic, practical - all of it. Even boring-sounding things like railway car width could add in some overarching and realistic restrictions. It could also be cool to come up with some basic lore for a world to help "justify" certain common traits. Like perhaps X faction is a small nation on the defensive with an extremely hilly landscape; so opts for smaller, lighter vehicles with great gun depression, and with a big emphasis on tank destroyers. It might be a great idea to use an AI like Chatgpt to help build that world up;and of course using your knowledge of real world history will be a huge help. I plan I doing something like this in Sprocket after the next big update...if I can be bothered XD

[@AeromatterYT]

A fun game mode would be giving a group of payers a set of random parts and a time limit to build a plane each, then having them dogfight in whatever they could come up with 😁

[@meinungsfreiheit7004]

Best building game right now to me is Brick Rigs. Allows you to build every kind of somewhat realistic vehicle including interieur. Also includes interesting logics, I programmed Flappy Bird inside it and made modern MBT's with custom rangefinder and stabilzers and so on to fight with friends.

Have you ever played SimplePlanes or Juno new origins (used to be SimpleRockets2)? If you are familiar with either, it would be awesome to see a side by side comparison of building the same type of aircraft.

SimplePlanes has been out for what feels like decades, and you can build basically any vehicle, planes, seaplanes, boats, subs, cars, amphibious vehicles, tanks, mechs, with as much detail as you can muster, with great graphics you can somehow run on a phone. i reccomend Juno New Origins to most people, it doesn't have weapons and VR support, but the world is far more interesting to explore, and also other planets? better Jet engines, decent propellors now, and a campaign if you care (i don't really) seriously, if you like vehicles, you have to try Juno New Origins

Are there supposed to be tycoon elements to the game? Cuz I know theres a tank tycoon game but tbh it didn't seem like it was turning out to be all that good. Meanwhile theres Sprocket which is better but I'm not sure its going that way? I'd love to design planes and then go out and manage a company trying to market them and whatnot. See how they do in wars especially as designing a one-off plane is way different than designing a production aircraft
