People need to stop treating mobile users like babies who need protection from dangerous "Lag" and other stupid reasoning.

I see so many people saying why this and that won't ever come to mobile because it would lag. I say stop treating mobile users Like babies who need to be protected from something dangerous! Some mobile devices are very powerful! And granted it might lag some on some devices under some circumstances but you don't know for sure that EVERY user is the same. So stop making generalizing announcements and instead think about what COULD be done with mobile things.( oh and settIng the website to desktop does not fix it. Instead of it working it pops up with a number and says to paste it into SimplePlanes editor which I cannot do on mobile.

    Calm the f*ck down everybody. First of all, its just a game. If it's that important to you, maybe you should get a life... Secondly, if you're over the age of 5, you should be able to just accept that maybe somebody else is right. I suggest y'all try that before a mod comes and deletes this post or something.

    I'm one of the people who disagree with this, and I know from experience. I started out on my kindle, I worked my way to my phone and then my crappy laptop, then my newer one. Let's do a comparison. I use a Samsung Galaxy S6, I then load a 600 part plane, and I get 2-3 fps in the editor. Even my old and dead laptop can handle it better, clocking at around 10-15 fps. In-game my new laptop can get upwards of 30fps in that same plane. In the editor I get around 45. When I'm at Maywar with the same plane I get 17fps MAX. So if I do the math right, the frame rate at Maywar would be around 2 seconds per frame. Now you would either have your phone overheat or least likely explode due to the amount of processes it has to make every second. It would be unfortunate to the user for not having the thing that's impossible to handle on a phone.

    Remember, the ratio of the weak mobile users to the high power ones is like water on Earth, 70/30.

    Besides, if there's lag who cares? I've lived with lag my enitre life, and if it's not insane I can live with it. @Tully2001

    Yep. As I said it's just an island. At least mobile has all the same parts. (Though why isn't the bomber mission on mobile? Ah, that's an argument for another day). @Tully2001

    Well said. But remember, the most important points that have ever been made seemed impossible too. @Tully2001

    Well to be perfectly honest, We're not uploading 3000 Part creations to be rude. It's no suprise that mobile & tablet's can't perform as good as the average today's PC.

    But hey if you want to call that rude be my guest.

    Anyways, I've got better things to do than argue. We're all in the same boat here, mobile or computer. It's just an island after all! @WNP78 @Tully2001

    Yes, those who say that are some. But I'm not targeting you by any means, I'm targeting a viewpoint that I think is incorrect. I might not be right but it's my opinion. You may try to change it if you wish but you'll be wasting your time. @WNP78

    @Awsomur who are they? The ones that say multiplayer is rather infeasible on mobile? If so, you are talking about me.

    I'm not talking about you now am I? I'm talking about others who don't know a thing about mobile devices. @WNP78

    @Awsomur on the "PC/Mac users are biased" point, I was on android for the first year or so I had SP. I still use it now on journeys and for testing mods. I can definitely see what @Tully2001 is on about and your point about PC users being biased in nonsense.
