so just recently the community manager @SupremeDorian told all of us that a little test out was made for SimplePlanes 2, and I looked at the comment section and seems like things are not looking well, people’s stuff being deleted, not being accepted.
Honestly, what I think is that this tiny little glimpse of the next game means that this game is gonna have to take many more months to develop, before It can be released, Now that I think about it as a mobile player. I’m worried that once the mobile version of the game comes out we will be met with the same stuff as well, I’m not hating on the game. But you honestly need to do is look at both sides the PC/Steam side, and the mobile side. I mean, yes releasing the mobile port next year is great for which it gives you time to start working on things, second, most of the people and the developers need to know is that a quarter of the community, including me uses the mobile port of simpleplanes.
And honestly little bit of me, kind of knew that this was gonna happen, because all games run into these problems when the open beta.
But still, I’m just telling you that you might have a problem on your hand. If you don’t fix this.
I’m gonna cut straight to the point and say, if this just happens to affect us mobile players next year, then the hype might not be worth it for us mobile players
So please. You might have to find a way to fix it, I don’t play this game on steam but I do know what people think.

Basically, I’m just saying, what do you guys think about the new open beta?
People of interest (who may or may not have been affected, by the new Beta)
@UNIVERSALAIRLINES
@Graingy the guy who comments on every single one of my posts
@NTH
@V?
Sorry for the @, but I have one thing to say as a mobile player I’m afraid.
To be very clear, the v1.12.206 beta is for SimplePlanes 1, it is not a SimplePlanes 2 beta; there is no public beta for SimplePlanes 2 right now. Apologies for the confusion. The comments about deleted posts are also not related, they're just people venting grievances about their posts being removed for violating the site rules (not in any particularly bad way, to be clear, just minor violations).
.
As for mobile, we are still targeting a mobile release in 2026. We appreciate your concern, but we ask that you be patient. We're working on it.
@RailfanEthan Ok so this guy's a troll. got it.
@StockPlanesRemastered there is no open beta for SP2.
When was open beta launched?
@RailfanEthan nice….
Edit: Hold tf up
@GabrielFangster70 If by deleted parts you mean things such as the old prop engine part from the early versions of SP1, I have no idea if the devs intend to import those into SP2 as well. They might do it just to make sure that even very old SP1 builds would be compatible with SP2, but we have no confirmation of that yet.
@BMilan what about those with the deleted parts?
You've got things mixed up a little here:
There is no open beta for SP2 yet, only closed playtesting. Dorian's post is talking about a small update for SP1 (which only includes small quality changes, no new parts or anything).
As for the deleted posts, Dorian and the other moderators have been cracking down on rule violations and some users decided to go to his post to complain about it because they feel like their posts have been unjustly removed. It's not related to the SP1 beta or SP2 beta at all. Also, I'm sure the blocky planes you mentioned will be fully compatible with SP2, the devs have stated it numerous times that SP2 will be able to run all SP1 builds, so that includes blocky planes as well.
@GabrielFangster70 ehh, I can’t distinguish between the 2 cuz I happen to be using a mobile device, but I like that I was put on the list!
@GabrielFangster70 There's no open beta for SP2... (at least not yet).
Dorian announced that SP1 got a very small update on the beta branch that basically added a button to take you to the SP2 store page and did a few other behind-the-scenes things, but SP2 itself is currently still in closed testing only.
Posts apparently getting removed from the website isn't something I'm knowledgeable enough about to comment on, but either way that isn't related to SP2 (or the SP1 beta).
@HuskyDynamics01 in the main post. Open beta was launched for SimplePlanes 2 not many ppl are happy, planes getting removed. Etc, I’m just afraid it could happen for mobile players too.
Go to Dorian’s account, and you will see the newest forum post
It’s the aircraft made using blocks.
like this one
@HuskyDynamics01
Edit: nevermind, forget it.
@GabrielFangster70
SP1 planes are intended to be forward-compatible to SP2 (and will also still work in SP1, obviously). This is actually stated on the SP2 store page, I believe.
Also, could you clarify what specific issue you're referring to in the main post? I can't find where you've actually said outright what "this" is that is affecting mobile users and causing SP2 to need more development time.
