@LooperEpic Can you confirm that you have the latest version of the application? What is the version number listed on the about page? Are you using the Google Play store or Amazon?
@YetiProductions Sorry about the blocky pink smoke. I'm not sure what could be going on. Did you subscribe to the mod on Steam or download it from here? Are you certain you are using the PC version of the mod and not the Android version? Have you had any other sort of graphical problems with SimplePlanes?
@Jasperjl With the paint tool. Trim 1 color controls the smoke color. You should also be able to see this color in the center of the nozzle in the designer.
@Dstroyer101 @imaperson Just download the android file (should be Smoke Trails.spmod-android) and then try to open the downloaded file. It should launch SimplePlanes and take you to the mods page where you can then enable it. You may run in to issues if you haven't got the latest update yet (1.5.3.2). I'm not sure if the Kindle version is live yet, I'll have to check with Andrew tomorrow morning.
@Dovahkiin420 So when you open the mod, it opens the game but there is no 'Mods' button on the main menu? Are you opening it from the dropbox app, google drive app, or something else? I'm not totally clear on that, sorry...
@Aerobako I intended to make an example map but ran out of time (and also it would seem I'm terrible at making maps). For mini-maps, check out WNP78's Minimap Mod. It is pretty cool.
@TheTekkit101 @Booster456 @goboygo1 This could be due to an issue with downloaded mods being set as read only. This can be fixed by manually updating the file to not be read only, however I just pushed an update from Steam that should make that manual step unnecessary and should fix the issue.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Alpha is the transparency for the smoke particles. An alpha value of 0.5 means that the smoke particles will be 50% transparent at max.
@arcues If you are use Steam, you can either use the PC download link, or you can find it in the Steam Workshop and subscribe to the mod. The benefit of using the Steam Workshop is that you will automatically get updates whenever the mod is updated.
@DatsunEngineeringCompany SimplePlanes on the Mac AppStore will be the same as on Steam (except for the Steam specific features - achievements, overlay, workshop, etc.) once the update is approved by Apple. Not sure when that should happen, put probably not more than a few days.
@NativeChief1492 Did you enable the mod in the game first? On the main menu, there should be a mods button. Click that button and it should take you to a list of installed mods. Once a mod is install, it must be enabled in the game, which you can do on that page.
@Brields95 In order to sign in, yes, mods need to be disabled. Once you are signed in however, you should remain signed in across game sessions, so mods can be turned back on and planes uploaded as normal.
@aloushi605 you need to download the android mod and run it. It should open up SimplePlanes and take you to the mods page, where you can then enable the mod. You may need a file browser app to run the mod after you download it. I like ES File Explorer
We are aware of the issue. The only fix is to do another build and re-submit to the app-store so we are working on that now. Hopefully it will be fixed soon but we have no exact estimate since we will need to go through Apple's review process. Sorry.
@Toscio56 Regarding the shaders on OSX... Next time you build your mod, try doing so with the latest copy of the mod tools. I just updated them a few minutes ago. It should fix some scenarios in which materials don't load properly in OSX. I'd be interested to know if it works for you as well.
@MechWARRIOR57 Maybe I'm not understanding the question... The orbit camera for instance can be zoomed in/out via touch-pinch gestures on mobile. Were you asking about something different?
Try backing up your airplanes, then deleting all your saved airplanes, settings, etc. Just delete this whole folder (replacing [UserName] with your username):
If you have a complaint against the mods, contact us directly. There was no point in this post other than to stir up drama and guess what... it stirred up drama.
I think I misunderstood... The number of steps controls the increments for the slider. for example a slider from 1 to 5 with 5 steps will allow you to set it to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. The same slider with 50 steps will increment in small decimals, allowing 50 different positions for the slider. The formatting of the number is somewhat unrelated.
If you need to format the number/label (such as limit it to two decimal places), you can override the 'GetDesignerPropertySliderValueLabel' method on the modifier. For example...
[DesignerPropertySlider(1, 5, 50)]
public int SliderTestProperty;
public override string GetDesignerPropertySliderValueLabel(string propertyName, float sliderValue)
{
if (propertyName == "SliderTestProperty")
{
return sliderValue.ToString("F2");
}
return base.GetDesignerPropertySliderValueLabel(propertyName, sliderValue);
}
oops....... Thanks for the heads up. I went investigating and you are absolutely right! The expert level achievements for the new races are bugged. My bad!! This will be fixed in the next patch, hopefully in a couple weeks.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble. After the issue occurs again, can you provide us with your game's log file (via pastebin.com or dropbox or something similar)?
The game log file should be located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SimplePlanes\SimplePlanesData\outputlog.txt

@tacnyancat Thanks!
@tacnyancat The color of the smoke trails can be changed via the Trim 1 paint color for the nozzles.
@YetiProductions Interesting... what OS are you on?
@drdoom222 @YetiProductions Does this info help at all? https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/Learn
@MechWARRIOR57 Too busy, sorry... so much to do!
@drdoom222 What have you tried? What specifically isn't working? What are you seeing?
@Jasperjl With the paint tool. Trim 1 color controls the smoke color. You should also be able to see this color in the center of the nozzle in the designer.
@Dstroyer101 @imaperson Just download the android file (should be Smoke Trails.spmod-android) and then try to open the downloaded file.

@Dovahkiin420 Can you verify that the game has been updated to the latest version? The about page should say v1.5.3.2 I believe.

@NativeChief1492 what happens when you use ES file Explorer to find the .spmod-android file you downloaded and try to open it?

@JovianPat Yes, thats fine
You must still be on the test branch. We will post some official news once we go public with it. Looking like that will happen sometime next week
The expert achievements for the 6 new races are bugged. They will be fixed in the next patch, hopefully in the next week or so. Sorry...
@MechWARRIOR57 First person? No zooming allowed there on any platform.
@MechWARRIOR57 Maybe I'm not understanding the question... The orbit camera for instance can be zoomed in/out via touch-pinch gestures on mobile. Were you asking about something different?
@MechWARRIOR57 mobile users can zoom by touch-pinch gestures.
Your settings/airplanes folder should be here:
@kingofcreepers Mac Appstore or Steam?
Try backing up your airplanes, then deleting all your saved airplanes, settings, etc. Just delete this whole folder (replacing [UserName] with your username):
If Andrew's suggestion doesn't help, could you hook us up with a copy of your log file (after the crash occurs). The log file should be located here:
If you have a complaint against the mods, contact us directly. There was no point in this post other than to stir up drama and guess what... it stirred up drama.
Do you have any controls bound to 'Activate Camera Look'? Do you have any gamepads or joysticks plugged in?
This should be fixed in the next update

I'm not sure... Looks like an issue with your internet connection. Don't think there is anything we can do...

@CrazyCodeC Convoys are on Krakabloa (mobile and PC) and Maywar (PC only)
There are several different areas around the volcano at which the convoy can spawn.
I was not aware of this issue. I've logged it and will hopefully investigate it in the near future. Thanks for letting me know.
I have no answers at the moment but I've logged this issue and I will investigate it hopefully in the near future. Thanks for letting us know.
Nice!
