Are there any games similar to KSP in the plane building factor

[FreakonFlight]

I want to find a game similar to KSP but instead of rockets you build airplanes I know KSP has the space planes option and its really fun but i would love to know if there are any games out there.

The only 'ship building' games I've played are Kinetic Void (which is in space à la Freelancer, so I don't think it fits what you want) and the Gummi Garage in Kingdom Hearts. That's it. It's not a super crowded sub-genre, I know.

You can, however, beef up the plane building/simulation in the game with mods, if you want a better experience. Ferram Aerospace includes a correct (albeit hard as balls) atmospheric model, the Firespitter pack has propellers, and there are mods like B9 which include hybrid jets, VTOL engines, more wing parts, etc.

Why are there so many Space building games but no plane building games do you know how awesome it would be to have a game like warthunder but everyplane is custom!!

That... would entail an incredibly complicated game balance, not to mention airplane building is generally considered more complicated than rocket design, if anything because you must take lift and drag into account.

There is, however, an option to "warthunderize" KSP: just off the top of my head I know there are at least a multiplayer mod and a weapons mod (missiles and lasers). Lag and glitches aside, I'd say you should technically be able to get together with a couple friends and spaceplane-joust the hell out of each other :D
(Or helicopter-joust, or propeller-old-timey-plane-joust, or UFO-joust, or gyrocopter... you get it.)

You can try screwing around in Garry's Mod, but I can't think of any simulators that let you build aircraft in-game besides KSP.

I guess it's because you can already do this IRL...

If you're willing to learn how to use a 3D Modeling Program, Hobbico's RealFlite simulator lets you add your own aircraft to the (already extensive) list of planes, helecopters and novelty aircraft included in the software. I'm sure a few other RC and even some full-size flight sims have this capability as well.

Actually there's a game called SimplePlanes, which is GREAT !!
