@TheOwlAce I need some more info...are you talking about your bullets hitting your plane? or enemy bullets hitting your plane? What exactly does 'nowhere near' mean, maybe in terms of block distances...?
@xXSubZ3r0Xx Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I totally screwed that one up. Bullets were being scaled to zero. I've published a new build for Steam and GOG (Google Play will have to wait), 1.7.0.4, which should fix the issue. Thanks.
The plane you linked me appears to work just fine. There isn't anything attached to that front rotator but if you do attach some blocks, they rotate when the gear is raised, as expected. For landing gear, you may want to set the input controller min (or the max) to 0 now though.
The more time we spend reading questions about when the release is going to be, the less time we have to actually work on the release and thus, the longer it takes.
@TheOwlAce Can you give me some more info? What device are you using and what is your UI scale setting set to? Approximately how many planes to you have saved? Does it do it 100% of the time? Thanks.
@Flightsonic It shouldn't be overwriting max speed... Is it overwriting it with a different value or just deleting the attribute? The only time it should be overwritten with a different value is if the xml version of the plane is something prior to 6 (so if you are tweaking XML of a plane that wasn't saved in the latest version) and if the mass scale of the missile is less than 1.
Let us know if you can reliably reproduce the issue. If you can tell us the exact steps that cause the issue every time, it would help tremendously in tracking down the bug.
@Gestour The extra permission is due to a library we added to help mitigate the extreme amount of piracy on Android. It should not affect legit users in any way. Please let us know if you experience any issues.
Show damage should be fixed in the latest beta v1.7.0.2. Gun collision issues should be fixed in the second round of the beta v1.7.0.1. If you are still having trouble with the gun collisions, send me a link to a plane with the issue.
@LBYSteven Regarding the rotators... try out the latest beta 1.7.0.2 and see if they are still broke. If so, provide me with a plane link and some info so I can investigate.
@JoddyFubuki788 Rotators shouldn't need repaired except maybe in the case of planes that were mirrored and saved in the first round of the beta. Do you have existing planes with rotators that used to work that are now messed up in this beta update? If so, please provide links and any relevant details/info.
@corsair013 Sounds like it might be related to the bug Flightsonic mentioned, but please provide me with an aircraft link so I can verify that it is the same issue and that I have indeed fixed it. Thanks.
@Flightsonic As for the nudge question.... I think 100% should be the same nudge increment as the default nudge increment before the beta. @HellFireKoder is the one that handled all that though, so he would know best.
@TheMutePaper The rotators should be fixed. If you had saved busted designs in the last round of the beta, they will still be broke however. Those should be able to be fixed by mirroring the craft if one side is working correctly, otherwise, it might take some XML tweaks. Ultimately though, craft with rotator landing gear should work as it did prior to the 1.7 beta.
@InternationalAircraftCompany Some parts work differently under the hood, so existing parts may still break if loading a newer plane in an older version.
@JMicah4 Thanks for the details! Not sure how I missed that blinking UI the first time... Its totally obvious now... We will look in to those two issues, thanks.
@JMicah4 I'm not sure what i'm looking at with the machine guns... do you have a link to the plane? Also, what exactly am I looking at in that video? Did you try to spawn multiple planes but only one showed up?
@Thepilot172 Betas on iOS are possible. We chose not to do one to save us the time and effort that we felt would be better spent fixing bugs and other issues.
@FlyingThings It works fine for me until I mirror it. It is only after mirroring that it gets messed up for me, which is consistent with what we have been seeing with other designs. That particular problem should be fixed in the next beta update.
@SweptBackWing14 Do you have a link to a plane that has this problem? Is it something that occurs after mirroring the plane?
@TheOwlAce I need some more info...are you talking about your bullets hitting your plane? or enemy bullets hitting your plane? What exactly does 'nowhere near' mean, maybe in terms of block distances...?
What device do you have? I'd recommend running the water on medium or low settings....
@xXSubZ3r0Xx Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I totally screwed that one up. Bullets were being scaled to zero. I've published a new build for Steam and GOG (Google Play will have to wait), 1.7.0.4, which should fix the issue. Thanks.
@laserborn88 That was broke since the 1.7 beta, but it finally works again. I should have phrased that better in the post above. Sorry.

Thanks for pointing this out. We will investigate (probably not going to make it in the 1.7 release though).

Thanks! This should be fixed in the next beta (not yet released). Once it comes out, let us know if you experience any more issues with this.
@TheOwlAce I need plane links if I am to investigate the issues with the guns. Also, what dogfight slider are you talking about?
@JoshuaW Would "maxForwardThrustForce" help? For reference, its 20000 for the Interceptor and 15000 for the Guardian and Inferno.
@Hardstylelover What device are you using? Did shadows work before. What settings have you tried? Need some more info here....
@Elicushman Were the torpedos modded at all?
Let us know if you can reliably reproduce the issue. If you can tell us the exact steps that cause the issue every time, it would help tremendously in tracking down the bug.
@MadBomber Can you provide a link to the plane that is now flying differently than it did in 1.6? Are you on version 1.7.0.2 of the beta?
@Gestour The extra permission is due to a library we added to help mitigate the extreme amount of piracy on Android. It should not affect legit users in any way. Please let us know if you experience any issues.
@marcox43 Suggestions should go to our uservoice
@Enderminion Is it repeatable?
Show damage should be fixed in the latest beta v1.7.0.2. Gun collision issues should be fixed in the second round of the beta v1.7.0.1. If you are still having trouble with the gun collisions, send me a link to a plane with the issue.
@DerekSP I'll make a note of it, might not happen this release though... Thanks for pointing that out.
@LBYSteven Regarding the rotators... try out the latest beta 1.7.0.2 and see if they are still broke. If so, provide me with a plane link and some info so I can investigate.
@SweptBackWing14 We are only doing and OSX beta for Steam and GOG.
@kerothehero Show/Hide damage is currently broken in some scenarios. It will be fixed in the next beta update.
@poenix The part damage indicator should be fixed in the next beta
@Leehopard Thanks for the link. This should be fixed in the next beta.
@FlyingWings see my uservoice comment right below this
@CALVIN232 Suggestions should go to our uservoice. If someone already submitted an idea, vote on it rather than submitting a new item.
@JoddyFubuki788 Rotators shouldn't need repaired except maybe in the case of planes that were mirrored and saved in the first round of the beta. Do you have existing planes with rotators that used to work that are now messed up in this beta update? If so, please provide links and any relevant details/info.
@EternalDarkness Thanks for the link. This should be fixed in the next update
@corsair013 Sounds like it might be related to the bug Flightsonic mentioned, but please provide me with an aircraft link so I can verify that it is the same issue and that I have indeed fixed it. Thanks.
@AttestedArk The cleaver will probably make it in the final release.
@Flightsonic As for the nudge question.... I think 100% should be the same nudge increment as the default nudge increment before the beta. @HellFireKoder is the one that handled all that though, so he would know best.
@Flightsonic Think I have found that problem.... my bad. Should be fixed in the next beta update. Thanks for the help!
@ChaMikey Not in 1.7, sorry. Future updates... we will consider it.
@Flightsonic Thanks for the link! I'll investigate first thing tomorrow morning

Its intentional, not a bug. More is involved than just new parts.
@JMicah4 Thanks for the details! Not sure how I missed that blinking UI the first time... Its totally obvious now... We will look in to those two issues, thanks.
Thanks. This should be fixed in the next beta update.
What device are you using?
@password123 Thanks, we will look in to it.
@password123 what is the exact name/model number of the joystick you have that is causing the problem?
@JMicah4 I'm not sure what i'm looking at with the machine guns... do you have a link to the plane? Also, what exactly am I looking at in that video? Did you try to spawn multiple planes but only one showed up?
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
@Thepilot172 Betas on iOS are possible. We chose not to do one to save us the time and effort that we felt would be better spent fixing bugs and other issues.
@Pilotmario The xml attributes for the rockets you are asking about are "selfDestructTimer" and "burnTimer".
@FlyingThings It works fine for me until I mirror it. It is only after mirroring that it gets messed up for me, which is consistent with what we have been seeing with other designs. That particular problem should be fixed in the next beta update.
