In my opinion I find that this is really too early for most people to play. I absolutely love KSP and I played for hundreds of hours. Building the planes in this seems to be improved in terms of capability from KSP, but it is much more confusing right from the start. There is also a huge lack of tutorials, especially in game. There are some on youtube, but the game hasn't become popular enough yet to attract creators who are good at instructional videos. There are also bugs in the plane building that prevent certain snapping functionality until you save and restart the build.

Completely my opinion here, but I would say in terms of design, the building mechanism might need a re-think. The editor gives you the base piece shape, and then you have to make the shape you want from that by moving sliders for length, width, angle etc ...

I think in general, that doesn't seem like the best way to present options to the user. I feel like the user should be presented with more base shapes, in different commonly used configurations. Then they should be able to reshape that into the exact thing they want. I feel like giving them a closer starting point would help in terms of ease of building, and with giving them interesting ideas. At least that is one of the things that I felt to be a bit painful when playing.

I think this has potential, but i'm not sure it's worth getting yet.

The user interface for the building process took a while to figure out, and the placement of the parts can be quite frustrating in the beginning. There should be some basic video tutorials to help out the beginner otherwise they will quit in disgust. Once figured out however, this is a really fun and educational aerospace engineering teaching tool! The planes flies great with a game controller and way much more fun to fly than using the keyboard and mouse to fly. The build and experimenting process can be quite fun and addictive. There are also many great plane builders on the workshops and good to reverse engineer from. Great for people who wants to learn airplane design and studying aerospace engineering!

Build and fly model aeroplanes for a trip down to your childhood. Stay a child. It is good for you.

Pretty good game, harder than ksp but flying RCs is harder (true IRL). One thing I would like to see is a better way to reshape the custom pieces and the ability to resize the non-gizmo parts. Overall, it was worth the buy.

It's Kerbal Space Program, without the kerbals or space program.

What more could you ask for?
Besides Kerbal Space Program 2 of course.

Received this as a gift from my amazing girlfriend for my birthday, and man do i love this game!
one of my dreams is to be a aerospace engineer and in a way this game helps me to express that dream.

All these negative reviews saying this game is bad or full of bugs dont take in to account that the game is still very early! The game litterally gives you a notice when you start it up. EVERY TIME!

The game is incredible and even that doesnt do it justice. It has potential and everytime i open it up i can express some new weird design that comes up in my mind.

So yes
get the game
do it now

game of the year for aviation atleast

BALSA Model Flight Simulator is an amazing moderately realistic simulator for Radio control airplanes, that allows you to create your own planes and even play multiplayer online.

While it won't take home any prizes for 100% accurate flight models, it is more than accurate enough to prove entertaining and even reasonable training given a good control simulation.

It has a lot of fun oriented features like paintball combat, first person view, and chase view to give it a nice placement in the overlap between entertainment and hardcore simulation. This makes it a particularly fun and entertaining game while maintaining reasonable accuracy.

The ability to design your own planes in extensive details will provide particularly educational fun, if you are willing to break through the learning curve.

It is still in early development, so it has the typical early access issues such as clunky UI and bugs. These should iron out over time. Considering it is made from a veteran developer who already brought another Indie simulation game (Kerbal Space Program) well beyond full targeted feature release, I have little concern about it being abandoned mid development.

Lots of fun if you like building stuff and trying out your creations! Especially if you never got your dream RC plane and you're now 'adulting'. Lots of exciting things to look forward to and it's already a beautiful game. Buy early access if you want to support a small dev team working hard to create something everyone will love - but don't expect a crashless experience or everything to run perfectly at the time of this review. 100% would buy again in the game's current condition - it's the original devs behind KSP for a start!

so far it reminds me of the good old days of flight sim 1.3 when you could modify the planes still.

Did you play, and enjoy, Kerbal Space Program (KSP) during its early access and were able to get round its visible flaws and bug knowing that there was one of the best space faring sims in the works? Buy this game!
Did you play, and enjoy, KSP but were not able to buy in during the early access phase to see it how it would evolve into the fantastic game it is today? Buy this game!
Did you play, and enjoy, KSP only wishing it had multiplayer and a some sort of 'battle' system? Buy this game!
Did you never played KSP, but enjoy building stuff only to blow it up/smash it to pieces? Well buy this game, and save yourself the time and effort gluing everything back together again, before taking it to heaven and back just to blow your load all over that damned palm tree again!

In short this game is my new K(SP)-hole! As much of a time sink as it is now, I'm constantly on tenterhooks to see what additions the next update will bring and how much of my life it will suck in.

(Also put 230 hours into the public playtest prior to EA, quite confident this will become my most played game by quite a lot)

Haven't even touched career yet, or done much with the scenario editor. I've just been completely captivated by making and flying planes. If you can think of something or find an existing design that seems feasible you can probably make it, and you can even come with new ideas that no one has thought about before and make them work.

This has replaced all other flight sims for me, MSFS may be beautiful and have great wind simulation etc, but I can't fly and build my own designs which I'd much rather do. The community aspect of this is great too, seeing all the weird and wonderful designs that people come up with is always entertaining to me, and the mix of friendly dogfighting and chill flying around together is just great.

At this early stage of development you need to be prepared for a lot of bugs and quirks with the UI, but things are being improved regularly thanks to our feedback on the Discord, and the devs are great people that listen and care about the community.

If you have an eye for design and engineering, and love the thrill and challenge of flight, then you should absolutely check this game out.

It's from HarvesteR, the original creator of KSP, what more do you need to know.

If you like Kerbal Space Program and SimplePlanes, look no further.
I have played hundreds of hours of Balsa since the first demo rlease, in 2020. HarvesteR and Moach are excellent, active, and reactive developpers. The multiplayer experience is excellent, and the vehicle editor does the job well, if not lacking in content a little. The solo campaign still needs some fleshing out, but is overall nice.
The challenge of completing an aircraft that outperforms your previous ones or other people's is thrilling.
Consider HarvesteR's track record, his other rleased game being Kerbal Space Program, and you get an excellent, albeit still heavily in development game with tremendous potential.

It's a pretty good game even during the open beta days. Quite relaxing if you want to fly and loiter around the map at altitudes deemed illegal by most airspace operators. I have no idea what else to say, buy the game, I guess? :P

Absolutely amazing game. If you're one of those people that has spent the last 5 years in KSP bumbling around with space planes then this is THE GAME for you.
