@Stingray get a nexus 7 or 9. 7 is very cost effective but 9 will run things a bit smoother with a bigger screen. look um up.
@Stingray Yes, I understand. Maybe a deciding factor will be that it is really hard to get beta versions on the Fire. It was impossible for me.
OK, thx. Concerned about losing all SP subassemblies+planes since both beta and non-beta files are within the Mac OS and I can't touch them or save them individually. File loss has happened before. @Nickasaurus
Understood. Someday mine will fail, too, and I'm unsure if I'll get another since my iOS tablet will really do everything the Kindle Fire does, and runs apps faster. @Shipmaster
@Stingray you can always get the beta for ios.
@Stingray I used the Kindle Fire for a long time before it finally failed after 3 years. Then I had to get the PC edition.
@Nickasaurus and @Shipmaster FYI the 2 platforms I use by preference, Amazon Fire android and Apple iOS will not even download the popular Windows newest models, and I'm getting the "you do cannot download the new parts " message when I try. So, I skip over the Windows builds. (Jundroo or AndrewGarrison might fix this sometime in the TBD future.)
@Shipmaster Agree! Almost. Just a game to me. I enjoy building the models regardless of platform. (If this were "competition" not game, I would probably tweak my old Mac desktop a bit or just get a cheap Winders platform.) To all, I am not competing for IW points. Also, I don't "upvote" automatically. I always test. Thoroughly.
@Stingray And that's not very fair to anyone that makes a good plane or jet and you don't upvote it just because your device doesn't have enough processing power to match them. It's not their fault; what can they do about it? Besides, it doesn't seem like you're hurting that much.
@Stingray I usually only build smaller planes. I don't have the skills to really make anything big yet.
Nickasaurus I like it, but the challenge was .... very ambiguous. In about 20 seconds I built a very simple model using a couple subassemblies on an iPad. The iPad GUI is no match for Windows GUI, so I pretty much have stopped "upvoting" Window models until Jundroo levels the playing field.
