    @AndrewGarrison thanks for the reply. I own the original since simple rockets 2 came out on App Store possibly lol. I had it before simple planes I think. I was a big Expanse fan while watching it during first couple of seasons on SyFy network and was constantly building Mars Navy Battle Cruiser Gunship Tachi aka the Rocinante. I was constantly building and trying to launch it with no luck. Also the Galactica, Millennium Falcon, X-Wing Fighter and many more including a nuclear sub. It has better features but I just can’t seem to get anything to launch. It explodes or falls apart. A lot of the time it falls through the launch pad or runway before exploding. Same story with what was a newer iPad and probably at least 3 iPhones. I always get the best iPhone with the most memory available at the time when I upgrade too so it isn’t the devices or I wouldn’t think so after having no luck with my current phone the week I got it. I am about to upgrade again. Just making sure another better iPhone isn’t around the corner about to come out with better more advance technology. But I will try beta again if no luck after seeing the app had upgrades 3 weeks ago, or was it 3 months. Recently since I used it last. But sincerely thank you for replying and I will continue to play and support the Simple Plane and Rocket family. Love this app!!! It’s challenging to figure out how to design and make the wings so they don’t wobble at high speeds like I talked about in last post. I was just looking as some of the old WWII planes and thinking about lift and it hit me how others are making wings. The wing panels can be used alone but right now aren’t able to be an end all solution. Another challenge is learning this site navigating the forum. Learning how it works and communicating with people so hopefully I can contribute one day and share something of value. Would love to make a real hypersonic hybrid engine jet and a functional sub that uses radar to navigate when under water. You choose type of vehicle like in simple rockets when you set cockpit control, like rocket, plane, ship, automobile, submarine, mech-robot and etc. this would give you some optional control panels for each, at a reasonable upgrade price of course. Nothing is for free. I would expect to pay for small upgrades at reasonable prices periodically. No big charges. People won’t commit to large purchases. But small one the same amount they spend in a convenience store or at a fast food restaurant, they won’t thi

    @Spartan71 The iOS beta should have some more room now if you want to try joining again.

    The Beta is full. I was hoping to try. The original Simple Rockets 2 worked fine for me but the Juno upgrade has never worked. I have no issues with Simple Planes on same iOS iPad device. I am limited to what I can build on my own. Like hypersonic planes. Some of the rockets are basically scramjet engines and should be modified as scramjet and ramjet designs. The possibility of Mach 10 plus should be a reality with design. The best I can get now is Mach 2 at 60,000ft to the upper atmosphere with the aid of descent I assume. Also because of the wing attachment being unstable having only one connection and not forming a solid weld the structure becomes unstable and wobbles then separates staying connected only at connection points. During the wobble the parts come out of alignment or place making the plane none responding to the controls. Sometimes it goes into a flat spin not to recover. There is no banking at all even at Mach 1 or under. Anything done to support the plane structure slows it down and makes unable to break the sound barrier not achieving mach1. Making a real functional Darkstar SR-72 is out of the question right now. For me and my ability anyway.

    @32 I guess the devs need money somehow, even if that means a degraded user experience.

    @AndrewGarrison so how is this beta version different to the current version?

    @Johnnyynf Honestly the building needed to be different in Juno; there are so many things that are possible (and a lot of genuine improvements, like the independent grab arrows when scaling a fuel tank) that wouldn't have worked with a more direct SP style copy. It's still got a lot of a learning curve but the basic principles are not all that different in terms of how things can and can't go together.

    I've been trying to get into the Juno/SR2 since it came out.
    But the building and the gameplay part is too different from SP it is very hard for me and I believe most of the SP player base to get into.
    I get it that dev has other things to do, but just straight up ditch the SP player base and unable to funnel them into the new game I my eyes is just a great miss opportunity.
