    @Chingonito yeah it really sucks that you can’t XML mod with iOS. Over the years on this game, I’ve collected probably over 1000 XML modded parts since I use all sorts of variations. It’s hard to find the right ones within my parts folder hahaha

    @Mustang51 well when you use the app on your iPhone xml modeling is a little hard.

    @Chingonito quite a few parts would be useful to make certain builds more realistic and customisable without XML modding. I hope we get some in the near future but I’m not too hopeful

    @Mustang51 if they had clam shell control surfaces it would be easy

    You did pretty well on this one. I know how annoying flying wings can be to get right in this game
