Can anybody explain this bug that maybe the devs had missed?

8,075 Airheaddivision  1.5 years ago

Someone had said on a similar post that some bugs don’t get fixed until like a year or a few months, something like that.

The touch joystick on my screen will automatically snap back into place if I move pitch up or down, usually not side to side but it could still happen.

Perhaps I can shed a little light on when this all started happening. I swear this… bug? Is the bane of my existence on the game.

It all started a little after the helicopter update. Some players had told me it’s just my iOS tablet, or no one else has experienced it, which is technically not true, heard back from some guy a couple days after the post that the player had dealt with a similar happening.

My iOS is fine, I checked to see if any other games had this experience and a few others did, but noticed when I took my screen protector off (whatever you call them) it stopped, all but one game…. Simpleplanes Mobile.

Here’s what the suspected bug looks like. I can barely fly anything. Even if I use the helicopter rotors in the game, or a plane, same problem happens.

Hopefully a Dev can take a look at this and maybe see what’s going on because I’m definitely sure I can’t be the only one experiencing this.

    Lol, I hope that doesn’t happen, I somewhat recently got my iPad to replace another that was finally dying. R.I.P red iPad. @RokofromAvalon

    I had a nice old tab for 10 years, before it burned and cooked itself to death after the battery let go

    Actually, could I don’t think it could be a dead zone if it’s all over the area where you control it. It also happens when you roll to hard. My nails are trimmed and it’s still happening so it might be a bug, not everyone gets the same bug, sometimes it’s only a selected few. @HuskyDynamics01

    Interesting, this is the first time I am hearing about a dead zone, that could be the case, and remember, another player encountered this so I don’t know what to think. But thanks. @HuskyDynamics01

    I played for over five years on iOS and never encountered this, before or after the helicopter update. The control sticks will auto-center when you release your finger/thumb from them. My guess is either you are releasing the controls, or your device thinks you are releasing them (dirty spot on screen, dead spot maybe, etc.), and as such the controls are returning to center.

    you sure you're just not letting the controls off?
    never encountered this supposed "bug".
