Round control pads— WHY???

227k jamesPLANESii  4.7 years ago

For the entire time I’ve had SimplePlanes, it has always infuriated me that the on-screen control pads are round. WHY ARE THEY ROUND???? It’s STUPID and DANGEROUS!

It’s especially annoying when you’re doing a STOL landing and your stick is all the way back and wing is dropping and you have to pick it up by using a large amount of aleron because you’re at low seeds, so the stupid restrictions of the round thumb pad means you have to drop your nose and gain airspeed by 10mph and use far less aleron than is needed to sluggishly get the wing back up. What if you’re close to the ground and that happens?

“Get a computer”

Well what happens if you’re like me and quite a lot of the time you don’t have access to a computer so you mostly just build on your computer and do most of your testing on mobile?

    @Awsomur Rip it only happens on mobile and it's really annoying. It was one of the main issues with the build that I was dealing with. It's fixed now. Also thanks for notifying me so early :)

    Well, the flips are with WW2 craft, or just a few planes that have hyper suspension.@jamesPLANESii

    I don’t do stuff like that. Also, I don’t usually land the plane. It either crashes because I want it to, and it just get ridiculous suspension and flips.@jamesPLANESii

    @Jerba How is it possible to like the round ones. What could possibly give you joy from not being able to use full deflection when you need it most...

    Using WASD is even worse than using the thumb pads in my opinion lol @asteroidbook345
