@BeastHunter I'm not sure what's in the starter kit, but a carrying case is nice to have. Also, a long USB-A to USB-C cable is great so you can connect the Quest to your PC and play PC VR games. Something like this.
@KfcGaming SPVR will be a new standalone game that will only be on Oculus Quest and Steam for PCVR. We are also doing a big update to the original SimplePlanes on PC and mobile to include a bunch of new parts for building immersive cockpits.
@ArkRoyalTheDDhunter I would recommend the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. It starts at $299 USD and you can connect it to a PC with a USB-C cable or Air Link and play PC VR games. You can also play games designed specifically for the Quest, so you don't need a PC at all. It also supports inside-out tracking, so you don't need to set up lighthouses/sensors in your room for position tracking.
@ChrisPy I would guess that powering off might have something to do with it. The best way to prevent this is to save under different filenames occasionally. I will append a -1, -2, -3, etc to the end of the filename so that I can always go back to an old file. It protects you if one does become corrupt and it's also fun to look back at a project and see its progression over time.
One last thing you could check is if there is an _ _ editor _ _.bak file and try renaming that to Test.xml and see if you can load it and what it is.
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm really confused because your player.log file first mentioned you had an AMD Radeon R5 M230, but when you posted the 2nd log file it now says you have an AMD Radeon HD 8500M.
My next suggestion would be to try using the Auto-Detect tool from AMD (direct link).

@typeZERO Ah, sorry to hear that. Also, I should have looked closer at your log file. You mentioned you aren't using any mods but the game is trying to load some. Try renaming your mods folder temporarily and see if that fixes the game.
You can find the Mods folder here: %UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes
Just rename it to Mods.Backup and then try starting SimplePlanes again.
@Alta2809 Smoothing enabled should only affect the craft while entering the flight scene and shouldn't have any impact on performance once you start flying around.
@Alta2809 Okay, so it sounds like you only take a performance hit when you are using the new glass part? Do crafts without glass have the same performance on your device as they did before the beta?
Thanks for the video. I have uploaded a new beta to Apple that should be available in the next day or two. It would be great if you could try this again with the new version. When it crashes, please send us your log file. You can find it here:
Open your Files app and go to On My iPhone -> SimplePlanes -> player.log. If you submit a bug report, please email us that log file at beta@jundroo.com
@BASTYWITHAIRPLANES Well the good news is that it doesn't look like the XML file is corrupt, so there is some chance I could recover it. However, I will need to wait until tomorrow when I'm back at the office to investigate more. Did you hand edit or use Overload to tweak any of the XML? If so, which part?
@MyMessage I dropped the ball by not coming back to this post and fielding questions in the weeks leading up to today, but what in particular was not clear with regards to the rules?
@SuperSanic I have bad news, but your build was dipping into the water and actually causing the game to crash so I had to disqualify it. It was a really cool build. Hopefully, it can compete in the next prop tournament without issue.
It looks like you are using mods. Try disabling those and see if it still crashes. If it works, then try adding one mod back at a time until it crashes again. Then you'll know which mod is causing the game to crash. If it still crashes with all mods disabled, let us know.
You can disable mods by moving them out of the mods folder:
@Gameboi14 I could never repro that problem, so I could not investigate. The more information you give me about exactly how you recreate that problem, the more likely we can fix it. I still don't even know what device you are playing on.
@Brields95 He has, but not much. He's less interested in building and generally prefers more realistic flight sims, such as DCS, X-Plane and MS Flight Simulator.
@Minecraftpoweer @Tank6376 If the tournament validator mod says your design is good, then you should be okay. I'll run a few validation checks on the server before the tournament as well.
Also, I got your bug report about the gauge needle emission. You can adjust material emission via the paint panel.

+1@jamesPLANESii There's no way to look at a user's posts yet, but I do agree that would be a good thing to have.

+1@PenguinUSA1212 We have added a new, VR user interface for browsing online airplanes in the game.

Sadly they are out of stock at the moment.
+1@Rsouissi No plans for procedural LG for this update.
+1@LieutenantSOT We are working on a set of parts and features that you can use to build your own completely custom cockpits.
+1@BBCP117 Yep

+1@Gestour nope
+1It certainly looks like a hardware or driver issue.
+1@Sweppingkid29withsp yup
+1@jamesPLANESii Order has been restored.
+1Okay, I tried to reset my points back to what they were but I made a mistake and now I can't find myself in the user list. Oh well, got stuff to do!
+1At this point your best bet might be to Refresh Your PC without affecting your files in PC Settings -> General.
I would recommend backing up any aircraft designs and any other files that you care about beforehand.

You could try restoring to a Restore Point to reset your computer back to as it was before installing the drivers. Instructions here.
Also have you tried restarting your pc and checked if World of Warships needs to be updated? What about Windows Update?

+1Mods.Backupand then try starting SimplePlanes again.@typeZERO Definitely get the version that matches your current OS, so Windows 8.1 64bit.
+1@typeZERO It looks like the drivers for your AMD Radeon R5 M230 graphics card are outdated. You can try updating them here.

+1@xXMrCoolDudeXx games@jundroo.com
+1No worries, @xXMrCoolDudeXx :)
+1@RailfanEthan Congrats on 100k! Well deserved!
+1Smells like a kerfuffle is emerging here. Please, let's be nice to each other and keep the peace.
+1Thanks for letting us know. This will be fixed in the next update.
+1@vcharng Yes, control surfaces now accept FT inputs.
