Search for a specific one, mine “disappeared” but I just had too many and it couldn’t load the names.

@AndrewGarrison ok I will try to get those to you. I just tried to upload a new aircraft onto the website but the screenshots of the aircraft never came out leaving just a black background and not showing the aircraft.

@CmdrAlex Those airplanes should work. If you want to try and recover airplanes from before the update you'll need to upload the AircraftDesigns.xml.bak file, which should be one level up from all of these files on your device.

@AndrewGarrison I am sorry again that I took so long to respond but I have been busy lately. I am glad to announce that the recent update has worked and I can fly my aircraft again as well as my more larger aircraft without any lag or bugs. Now it's back to the originally problem and to see if we can recover any of my orginal/first aircrafts. I also for got to ask what is your username and which file sharing program you pefer I send it to you on.

@CmdrAlex You can use Google Drive or any file sharing program. Dropbox, etc.

@AndrewGarrison sorry it took so long but was busy the past couple of days, I downloaded the program you told me about but would you like me to send you all the files under documents? There are three Aircraft Design files along with a SubAssemblies file along with other things. Also, how would I send these files to you?

@CmdrAlex I'm really sorry to hear that. Sadly I think you may need to reinstall the game on your iOS device which means you will lose your planes. If you can hook it up to a computer before you can copy the designs off, otherwise you will lose the designs. Again, I'm sorry.

@AndrewGarrison the second this started crashing I restarted my phone but it still crashes. Also it happens in all game modes and planes I have just downloaded and ones I have already saved.

@CmdrAlex Try restarting your device and try again. Let me know if you get it working and what fixed it.

@AndrewGarrison I'm sorry that I took so long to get back to you. I'm having some computer issues so I haven't been able to get the program to try to get the files. Also, the latest update kinda screwed me over, just downloaded it minutes before I posted it and when I went too use one of my newly made aircraft, the app crashed. I can't use any of my planes now because of this.

@CmdrAlex I'm not sure. This one looks promising: http://lifehacker.com/5914638/the-best-desktop-file-explorer-for-iphone

@AndrewGarrison is there a certian app or program on the computer(if I can move some of the apps data there via the back-up system) that allows me to access the files, if so can you please tell me so I can try to sending them your way.

If you are on iOS, I'm sorry but I don't think you can recover the planes. I'm glad to see you have uploaded quite a few, so hopefully you won't be starting from scratch. We are going to work hard to improve the game so that this won't happen again. I'm really sorry about this. If you do have a way to access the app's files, you can try getting the AircraftDesigns*.xml files and send them to me and I can try and rescue as many planes as I can.
