@Baldovino This is the expected behavior because we want SimplePlanes to use simple colliders during flight for performance. You can improve the quality of that fuselage collider by using the new collider attribute and setting it to ConvexMesh using Overload or just straight XML modding. Example here.
@WIZARD2017 This would be possible with the new part modifier variable output, but it is currently only supported by the heli main rotor part and there's no UI for it so you would need to XML mod. Here is how it can be used.
@Skykid028 If you can't find the log file then just go ahead and submit the bug report without it. If we really need it then we'll contact you directly and help you figure out how to get us the log file.
Do you mind if I use some of these images in promotional stuff, like blog posts, etc? I'll be sure to credit you if we do. Also, I'm assuming you are using Reshade, but anything else?
I'm sorry about the visual changes due to the switch to linear color space. Unfortunately, we didn't have a choice. We will try to fix what we can, but things will look a little different after this update.
If you find a bug, please submit a bug report here. The most helpful thing you can do is to describe how we can recreate the problem. The more likely we can reproduce the problem at the office, the more likely we can fix it.
SimplePlanes VR is coming to Steam and Oculus Quest this year. If you want to know when it’s released, you can wishlist SPVR on Steam here.
This part, as well as the labels, gauges and the fuselage cutting, will be included in the v1.11 update which we are hoping will enter beta testing this month.
@BeastHunter yes, we are making a special version just for Oculus Quest devices so you can play it without a PC. That version will be available on the Oculus Quest store through their App Lab program. We'll post more about that later.
@BeastHunter I'm not sure what's in the starter kit, but a carrying case is nice to have. Also, a long USB-A to USB-C cable is great so you can connect the Quest to your PC and play PC VR games. Something like this.

@jamesPLANESii I would recommend the Oculus Quest 2. It's $299 and you can plug it into your computer with a USB-C cable and play VR games from your PC. It also supports Oculus Air Link so you can wirelessly stream games from your PC and of course it supports standalone Quest games when you don't have access to your PC. Another nice thing about it is that it uses inside-out tracking, so you don't need to plug in external sensors and place them around your room.
@EdamCheese6 The VR view will work from any view, but on planes that aren't optimized for VR the cockpit view is very close to the fuselage and doesn't always look the best.
@KfcGaming SPVR will be a new standalone game that will only be on Oculus Quest and Steam for PCVR. We are also doing a big update to the original SimplePlanes on PC and mobile to include a bunch of new parts for building immersive cockpits.
@LightningTreeSavor The _ editor _.xml.bak backup file is overwritten every time you load into the level, but any other .bak file is only overwritten when saving the aircraft from the menu -> Save Aircraft dialog.
Backup files end with .xml.bak so you just need to rename it so that it ends with just .xml and then the game will show it in the Load Aircraft window.
What version of SimplePlanes do you have? What is your exact device model?
@KnightOfRen Thanks for letting us know. So you were able to get the beta?
@KnightOfRen @PapaKernels I believe the Google Play beta should be available to you now. If it is not, then let me know.

+1Right-click SimplePlanes in your Steam Library -> Properties -> BETAS -> select Public Test from the dropdown.
+1@One2 Mobile resolutions are so high that they really don't have much of an aliasing problem, but I suppose we could look into it if we have time.
+1@V lol, thank you for the honesty. Now I can see why you were so excited to start a tournament!
@V sorry, no plans for a tournament in the near future.
@KnightOfRen What device do you have?
@JuanNotAnAlt if things go well, we might release this update as early as next week.
+3@WIZARD2017 yep, that's the plan.
@PapaKernels What is your device manufacturer and model?

@zerozeke88 Unfortunately, not. Google Play is the only Android beta we will run.
@Type2volkswagen Thank you for following up with the solution!

+19Also, I got your bug report about the gauge needle emission. You can adjust material emission via the paint panel.
+1You can enable italics using the <i> tag. The labels use TextMeshPro rich text. You can read more about what formatting options it supports here.
Sign up for the iOS beta here and the Google Play beta here.

Good idea, I added a Help tag for the forums.
