Found this game during the Steam summer sale, and I find it quite enjoyable. Even though it is still ' early access' and far from complete, it is still fun to play around with.

You basically get a choice of basic building blocks to create your own aircraft (Almost like Lego) that allow you to create your own airplane, which you can then use to fly around with. Or, if you add weapons, you can use it in combat missions! Or if you like driving, you can also create vehicles without problems.

Game here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/397340/ (Turn on the sound for the movies!)

Starting out with a cockpit, engine and a few blocks to build a fuselage:



Everything is easily adjustable; wings, engines etc.



Plenty of aircraft to download off the internet:



Go fly!:



It's definitely more game than sim, but if you don't get things right during modeling, getting airborne can be quite tricky or even impossible...
 
OK Ferry..........you've got me intrigued!
Looks like this might be quite entertaining and I like the mention of a 3D printed model of one's favourite design.
:encouragement:
 
I have it for my iPad and it's pretty fun. Many designs and much like FS, some author's put more time into their designs than others.
