Guide: Installing SimplePlanes VR on Linux with Steam Proton

This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.


1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.


2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.


3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.


4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

What is SimplePlanes VR? Features and Description

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.

PILOT SIMPLEPLANES CREATIONS IN VR!


Reach out to grab the flight controls, flick a switch to open the cockpit door, sit back and feel the haptics rumble as you guide the stick to a smooth landing.

Do it all while keeping your eyes peeled on the jet that just flew by...or the Bush plane landing in the distance, or that giant Mech which appeared in the middle of your runway.



Experience the expanded freedom of SimplePlanes as you fly all the crafts again for the first time, in VR.

DOWNLOAD AIRPLANES*


Over 100,000 airplanes are available to download for free from SimplePlanes.com Find anything from old WW2 bombers to next generation fighters to sci-fi spacecrafts.

LOOKING TO BUILD AMAZING CRAFTS?

This product doesn't include the ability to build or modify crafts, SimplePlanes does though! After you get to the bottom of this page, you can check out the list showing a quick comparison between SimplePlanes and SimplePlanes VR.

DYNAMIC FLIGHT MODEL


Flight simulation at its finest. Every little decision the creator made will impact how you fly it. Weight distribution, thrust, lift, and drag are all calculated continuously while flying. Parts can break off in a spectacular fashion while you're flying due to over-stress or by impacting something. The fun won't stop there though. You can keep on flying even with a missing wing if you've got the skills.

CHALLENGES


Climb in to the cockpit of one of your craft and see how you fare piloting it in the challenges. The challenges will keep you entertained for hours. Land on aircraft carriers, escort bombers, dodge surface-to-air missiles, race through courses, and so much more.

SANDBOX


Use any craft for any purpose. The sky is the limit. Literally.

MODDING IN VR?


This product does not support Steam Workshop. However, it shares all of the amazing modding support of SimplePlanes, and thus is fully capable of being modded right out of the box.

Mods are fundamentally compatible between SimplePlanes and SimplePlanes VR, but existing mods are not guaranteed to work when VR is enabled. For the time being, any VR specific mods could be uploaded to SimplePlanes' workshop, and be accessible there. You can also enable mods directly in SimplePlanes VR, you just need to do so without the help of Steam Workshop.

Hope that clears things up!

Still have a question about SimplePlanes vs. SimplePlanes VR? Let's see if this helps...

  • SimplePlanes VR will have a launch discount for a limited time.
  • Both games have access to the same crafts*
  • SimplePlanes includes an aircraft builder, SimplePlanes VR does not.
  • Except for those which require building; all challenges, islands, locations, aircraft, etc. are available in both games.
  • Buying both of them on Steam will automatically enable VR in SimplePlanes. After VR is enabled in SimplePlanes you can do everything there, without switching games.

*Some factoids about downloading crafts that you should probably know...
  • Although all crafts can be piloted in SimplePlanes VR, not all of them have been optimized for VR, and may not have interactable cockpit controls, for example.
  • After logging in, you can use the search tags to filter to craft which are designed to work in VR. Or, you can choose to check out crafts which may not include VR optimized controls, but may still be really cool to check out in VR. You may also want to check out VR optimized civilian aircraft, or military, experimental, etc.
  • Also, after logging in you can add favorites to your account from the website via your computer/phone, and then easily access those favorites from within the game.
  • We do not restrict you from downloading huge craft on PC once you're logged-in, so you will likely download designs which drop the fps, and result in poor VR performance, so keep that in mind when choosing what to download.
  • The vehicles you'll download are primarily hand-crafted by the SimplePlanes community, and as such may vary in how the uploader intended you to interact with them. Some craft use a more standard control setup, others may deviate to accomplish specific needs/goals. Creators may even include custom instructions to inform you how the craft operates.

There are so many amazing aircraft to fly in VR, and we're really excited to have you check them out!
