XML modding

Would you consider the power to change in game mechanics, when building something, then claiming that your planes are amazing, cheating???

    @Smilohypo ha ha very funny. None of the aircraft that go up against yours have mods besides those to make custom landing gear function.

    XML editing in my opinion, and I think I can speak for everyone here, is using the game to its full potential. It's not cheating because you are using a mechanic that is already in the game to change parts. Right? @SledDriver @EternalDarkness

    XML modding in SP is like developing new technology in the real world. The SR-71 wouldn't have been possible without many revolutionary breakthroughs, like the all-titanium airframe, custom fuel, special powerplants, etc. I wonder if other airplane manufacturers complained that Kelly Johnson was cheating. Or if men who were used to wood-and-canvas biplanes called it cheating when the first all-metal aircraft came along. Imagine if the rest of the world had called it "cheating" when Germany developed the jet engine and stuck to their "honorable" prop planes.

    If you could get XML modding banned, the builds that get uploaded would be about one-hundredth as interesting as they are now.

    Either get a device that supports XML modding and join the fun, or get together a bunch of iOS users and ask the developers to enable editing XML attributes in-game on all platforms.

    Well... no.
    If you use way too powerfull engines for the sam-evasion, its not chating at all. Noone cares if you succeed, you just play it for yourself. If anyone has fun doing this, he can.
    If he thinks he is better than you, just because he can do unrealistic stuff... well thats not that smart.

    And if he just makes engines with high power... tell him that there is so much more to do, like 1200feet long hovering carriers, humans with guns on detachable bikes, helicopters with cr-cars...

    I can attest to that, there’s an entire tag just for XML requests. @EternalDarkness

    XML editing is completely normal here. We all use it. iOS users usually get help for XML from others.
