Get them to make a backup of whatever's on the computer in case it decides to spontaneously kablooey (if they won't accept the battery as a reason, tell them it's for data security or something. There's lots of reasons to be doing it even if the battery isn't a problem, so I'm sure you can come up with some explanation).
I would not recommend trying to break the computer or anything. Either way, they'll get mad at you (probably claiming that it was fine until you broke it). At this point, I think the best you can do is keep pointing it out and suggesting fixes, make sure that anything valuable or important saved on the computer is moved elsewhere or at least backed up on an external drive, and wait for an "I told you so" moment. If they aren't listening to you, and they won't listen to anyone else, there's really not much else to be done.
Perhaps point it out to the TSA agent when they are going through security for the plane if it's still a concern by that point.
iOS has never had official modding support, as Apple has long since prohibited any third-party code along the lines of game mods from running on their devices (the Modding button was only added on iOS when Overload and FineTuner were integrated into the core game, as it was simpler to bundle those two with the verified game than to integrate them into the base code, I guess). This is unfortunately not something that Jundroo has any control over, and is very unlikely to change.
Do not post or comment about a player who blocked you, about a specific player who blocked a friend of yours, or about a specific incident about specific people involved in blocking one another.
@ShinyGemsBro Yep. Figured I would give him one chance anyway, though I must admit I wasn't expecting him to take it. I would much rather avoid the whole thing, but I have a feeling this is going to go on for a while.
@O202 I see you have made up your mind. I may well be mistaken yet, though I have confidence otherwise. This will certainly be informative, at any rate. Time will tell indeed.
@O202 There are far more of us than there are of you. You have a choice to make: Either you stop antagonizing people and go back to whoever you were before all this started, or you keep trying to drive your wedge into this community in an attempt to turn us against our friends for reasons only known to you. The choice is up to you, but as it stands you are already at a net loss in terms of support.
You're right about one thing, though. This will be fun.
@O202 I mean that right there is a bannable comment by itself, regardless of any prior stuff. Also, calling on the moderators to "protect you" as you actively try to establish "an atmosphere of hostility" and "radicaliz[e] users" is... really not how that works either.
Edit: And to what end, exactly? The active users on this site form a pretty small community, all things considered. Attempting to radicalize one part of it against another part is not going to work out for you. We already know (and for the most part respect) each others' differences, views, backgrounds, etc., and they are handled (albeit occasionally with some moderator assistance) in a reasonably civilized manner. Trying to stir up drama like this, even if you somehow found a civil way to do it, just won't work.
Hi! I'm not sure what happened to the site's auto-credit system but it seems to have missed this one; I'd appreciate it if you could add some credit or at least a link back to the original build which this is modified from. Thanks!
@Aviator720 50% off is pretty consistent, actually. SimplePlanes has (to my knowledge) only been discounted below that once (75% off for the 2022 Lunar New Year sale, which was shortly after the release of SPVR; I believe the two were bundled for that sale which would explain the greater discount). Otherwise all sales have been 50% off. Same goes for Juno, when it's on sale it's always for 50% off.
Edit: 60% off is actually the greatest that SPVR has ever had as well, so this current sale is somewhere between "consistent with" and "better than" prior ones.
The limit is every 24 hours, not every calendar day (i.e. it doesn't reset at midnight). Working as intended, as a quick glance at your profile shows 3 builds posted within the last 24 hours or so.
Technically speaking, you've made a plane that doesn't stall then, through some combination of CoM/CoL/CoT. Planes in this game will absolutely stall, some more cleanly than others. Even in real life though, some aircrafts' stall characteristics are simply dropping the nose and diving, while others stay more or less in the same attitude and simply start descending.
@ColonelRelford A rhetorical question can be a powerful thing, yet in this instance it is not one that is directed at you, or in fact any other individual. Rather, in this usage it is a means of expressing general uncertainty about a matter without any particular request for further information. As such, any particular intent seen to be placed behind it has not come from me.
The "Aggressive" mode for the AI isn't "aggressive towards the player," it's just generally hostile. I'm honestly not sure if that's a bug or not because it's still technically aggressive, though it would be nice to have an option that sits between "fly around and do nothing" and "murder everything you see".
Is this another one of those "SimplePlanes is dying because Flyout exists and also Jundroo decided that nine years was long enough to work on one game" posts?
@Rattlesnake You... don't save a build... until you're done with it? That's just asking for this kind of thing to happen (and is also really bad practice when working with pretty much any kind of file or digital thing. SAVE OFTEN.)
I think a lot of people are still on v1.12.1 because v1.12.2 (the most recent one) only added a few new parts and bugfixes (as well as a few new bugs, cough Wright Final Approach AI spawn cough) in addition to some backend things that most users won't know or care about. 1.12.2 also introduced an unfortunate warning/error spam in the console when connected to a server via the multiplayer mod, which has yet to be fixed and makes keeping up with chat messages or other console commands significantly more difficult.
I'm with PlaneFlightX on this (plus the new levers and switches are objectively very neat), but that's my thoughts on why a lot of people have skipped the update.
First, most of that seems specific to your school. I've never heard of a middle school confiscating everyone's phones for the day, but they are definitely distractions and logistically speaking it's easier to just take everyone's phones away than to try and enforce a more general "no phones in class" policy (and then have students try over and over to get past said policy). It's a bit of an extreme solution but I can somewhat see where they're coming from.
Second, I've got 30 minutes tomorrow between when I wake up and when my first class of the day starts. I get between 15 and 20 minutes four days of the school week to eat breakfast before my 8 AM calculus class, and then on Thursdays I get to eat whatever I bought the night before and can eat in 15 minutes since I have class from 7 AM to 10 AM. Enjoy your guaranteed meal time blocks while you have them.
I've bought it twice, once on iPad in like the month after it launched and then again on Steam a few years ago when I finally got a computer that could run it.
Oh goodness no. It's a website, and websites go down sometimes.
This was one of the longer outages I can recall as of recent, but certainly not the first.

+2Technically there's no total cap on plane posts, no. You can post as many planes as you want, as long as you stay within the below limits.
As per the rules page:
Blocking players is okay
Do not post or comment about a player who blocked you, about a specific player who blocked a friend of yours, or about a specific incident about specific people involved in blocking one another.
