So, I bought the PC version of the game...

... and it runs terribly. What I can run on my phone with only a few issues with crashing on highest graphics settings lags to death on lowest settings on my computer. I don't know if it was even worth buying it.

    Ok, I've taken a look at your logs. Here are some things that come to mind.

    • It looks like you are running some mods. First step in troubleshooting is disable all mods and see if you still experience trouble.

    • It looked like at least one of the planes you used was spamming a bunch of errors. This is likely due to using a modded plane or crashing a plane at extreme speeds. This could severely impact performance. Try flying with the stock P-51 and see if performance is still an issue.

    • It sounds like your graphics card is fairly weak. Getting good performance out of it may be difficult. Are other games running ok for you?

    • It sounds like you have tried running on low settings, but have you tried lowering your resolution? From the log file, it looks like you are running 1920x1080. Try dropping the resolution to something much lower and see if that helps performance.

    @NathanMikeska Here is a dropbox folder containing the output log and the DirectX thing. This happened just after I started getting severe frame lag on the lowest graphics settings on a new plane that I was building, with a part count of only 120 parts.

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble. After the issue occurs again, can you provide us with your game's log file and a DirectX diagnostic 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

    To get a DirectX diagnostic file (windows only):
    Go to windows start menu -> Run -> type "dxdiag" (no quotes) and hit enter -> click the 'Save All Information' button.

    Well I can't really relate to this...my PC can run Star Citizen (look it up) with close to around 30-45 fps so I don't get much lag from sp unless it is from the plane itself.
