@Ian_Yashima Sadly that is due to the Unity upgrade. We need to update our games periodically to maintain compatibility with the different app stores (iOS, Google Play, etc) or otherwise they will yank our games from their stores. Sometimes that requires us to update to a newer version of Unity and this always has the risk of breaking mods. Unfortunately that appears to be what has happened here with those mods in your screenshot. If the authors of those mods have the time and are able to rebuild it with the new mod tools using the same version of Unity we are using then the mods should work again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You might ask "is the next major project SimplePlanes 2?" Great question! That's a very strong contender, but there are other project ideas that we are very excited about as well. Part of the team has been focusing on research and development and rest assured that once we have something more substantial to share you can expect more frequent updates from us.
@jamesPLANESii New build is out (v1.12.102) and we believe we fixed the issue with your crafts. We were all admiring your Miro today while troubleshooting that bug!
@44HH44 @GuianLorenzo @Aghsan22 Okay, we were able to track down this issue causing the game to crash on startup on some Android devices. It appears to be a bug in the Unity game engine. The good news is that they are aware of the issue, but the bad news is that we'll need to wait for them to fix it.
The mobile versions should be available soon for beta testing. iOS is here and Google Play is here.
There is a known issue where the game crashes on Android on startup. Unfortunately, this is a bug with Unity so we will need to wait until they can fix the issue. Fortunately they are aware of the issue.
@EternalDarkness @windshifter1 Thanks! I can't reproduce the delete part bug. Was the keyboard binding removed for Delete Selected Part? Do you have any error messages in the dev console when this happens? (You'll need to make sure the dev console is open before entering the designer otherwise it might not capture the error messages.)
We appreciate your concern, but we don't expect to be affected by the new changes and we don't plan to switch engines. Hopefully the response from the dev community has knocked some sense into them.
@Nerfaddict No, rest assured that development is not dead. I know we've been quiet on SP for a while, but we just don't have anything to share at the moment. Game dev is a slow process with many dead ends.
@AndrrewGarrison Whoa, I have a doppelganger! I'm sure you're doing it in good fun, but it's clearly causing some confusion. I would really appreciate it if you could change them to something else. Thanks!
When you logged in with a different account, you should have seen this dialog from Steam's Cloud Sync. It can be a bit confusing, but if you click the wrong button it is certainly possible to lose aircraft on your PC. Steam Cloud Sync is great, but if you are logging in with multiple accounts on the same PC it can be problematic.
@Thatguy2020 Juno is the name of the sun in the game and the sun is the center of the planetary system so we like that the word origin means both center and beginning.
Interesting. He looks strangely familiar and I almost felt like I could trust him...and then it was too late when I realized he was just a tactical nuke in disguise.
The post received a new report which triggered an auto-removal. I have restored the post and fixed the auto-removal logic to be a little less dumb so that shouldn't happen again. Thanks for letting me know.
This is a nice build and I noticed a few things that could really improve the VR experience:
1) Lever for VTOL in the cockpit
2) Airspeed gauge is not working properly (ensure its Preset is set to Speed 400)
3) There's a random throttle slider on the floor, which seems out of place
@Alisuchanka Thanks for the link! Can you copy and paste your craft instructions in a comment here or on pastebin.com so we can see what text you are using when you encounter the error? There might be a special character or maybe it's just the length that causes the issue, but if we have the exact text it might help us recreate the issue here so we can fix it.
Your post has been removed. Please read these rules about posting planes.
Please try to make major changes to a plane before posting it. Simply painting an object a different color, or adding a few guns is not enough to consider it your own. In the future please credit the original maker, and try to post your own work.
This should be fixed in the next update for mobile (v1.12.103.1), which will be rolling out later today. It is currently fixed in the Steam version.

@winterro @ReturnOfJeffChandler This should be fixed in v1.12.103. If you have a chance, please let me know if Overload is working for you now.
@Skykid028 What kind of device are you using and what version of the game do you have?

@BaconEggs Thanks!
Update v1.12.201 is now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. It fixes the weird rotation bug and Fine Tuner.
@Kangy @jamesPLANESii @BaconEggs @Ian_Yashima If you have the chance, can you verify the rotation bug is now fixed in your test case(s)? Thanks!

I've removed this post and responded to your email. Let's work it out over email.

@Simpleplanesgood99 I’m glad you are enjoying the game. Thanks for playing! :)

+16@MrCOPTY I'm looking forward to digging into the SP codebase this year. I'd love to add those parts in SP or maybe SP2?
+48@Kroixo @AviationApple We do plan to spend more time with SimplePlanes this year.

+1Sorry to hear it's not running well. If it started recently then it sounds like it could be an issue with your machine.
- Have you checked your PC for malware/adware recently?
- Are your drivers up to date on your PC?
- Are you running any mods?
- Do you see any errors generated in your log file? Log file location:
