I'm sorry for the late start everyone. I accidentally put the start time as 2AM UTC instead of 2PM UTC....I didn't realize my mistake until I woke up this morning.

This post is causing some controversy, but I just wanted to make it clear that I agree with @TheLatentImage 100% on this. This build is not breaking any rules here. Really impressive work, @Lumian300.
I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find pirated copies of SimplePlanes. Just beware that it most likely will have adware/malware embedded in it by the pirates. That's a great way to wreck your device and also compromise the security of your system. I wouldn't want to login to my accounts on a computer that had malware running on it, because they could easily steal your login info as you're typing it.
@PlaneBuild0512 We're knee deep in rocket science at the moment. After SR2 releases early access maybe we can free up some dev time to work on the 1.8 update for SP. We're a small team and we keep struggling to get things done when we try to work on too many things at once.
@alexchub1 XML modding is allowed on some parts, but you need to be very careful. I would recommend getting the tournament validator mod so you can check your work and make sure you're not violating any rules.

Yep, sorry about this. Our SSL cert is expired, but it's really not a security risk at this point. They require yearly renewals, which is far more frequent than necessary and I believe the only reason they do that is so they can sell more certs.
I have been working with our service provider and the cert company to renew it since last week, but somebody dropped the ball. I'm not sure if it was me and there was something I was supposed to do or if they forgot to do something...I hope to have it back to normal soon.
I believe our limit for uploading a mod is 20MB, so the mod is too large. You'll need to upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox and then just use a link on your mod post.
We are really busy with SR2 right now, so 1.8 is on hold for the moment. We are looking at probably summer at the earliest for the SimplePlanes 1.8 update. We're a small team, so it's hard to work on both at the same time. We were doing that for a while and we were just not making enough progress on SR2. Hard to believe we've been working on SR2 since 2016....
Is your computer low on hard drive space? It could also be a permission problem if the game will not allow you to save. What is your OS and where did you purchase SimplePlanes?
Just ran a validation check on everyone's designs. If you did not receive a notification then your currently submitted design has passed validation. No news is good news.
@EternalDarkness I just pushed an update to the site. Let me know if you see the negative seconds again. I agree with you, there's always things to improve on the site and in the game. It's an endless torrent of work and it's impossible to do it all so I try to make the best of what I can with our limited time and resources.
@EternalDarkness That's actually what we are planning for SimpleRockets 2, but unfortunately we designed things a bit differently on SimplePlanes.com and it would be harder to do so.
@BogdanX We've considered adding a new rank before, but I always struggle with what color to make it. Black seems like the highest level color, just like black belts are the best in karate, and black holes are the best......stars.

+2I agree it would be nice. I'll put it on the list. Hopefully someday I'll actually have time to implement it.
+4@Thederpingmemes yep, you can mod health.
@Phantom1 sure, but only one person can submit it and get all of those sweet internet points.

@Adiarka454 countermeasures are fine.
@LimitedShelf568 yep, we can't really stop that from happening, so you can do it.
@Iamsilverdahedgie Try restarting your device and see if the problem persists.
+1@Planefun Yes
Okay, everything should be back to normal now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What is the file size of your mod?
@Supercraft888 We're slowly picking up speed, but it'll be a while before we reach orbit.

+15@F4f879 You have to click Load More Comments at the bottom and then it will show up.
+5It was live streamed and also recorded. You can click on any match in the Tournament Bracket and watch the recording.
Congrats on winning the tournament!
+1hmm, maybe a cloud sync issue with Steam? Maybe try turning off cloud sync with Steam?

@SledDriver I'm glad to hear that. XML modding will be available in SR2. In fact, we've been able to improve it so it should be even more flexible.
@EarthwormJim I'm sorry, but I really don't have the time to run those tests.

@JoshuaW Did you watch the videos? Whenever we use Euler angles they are converted into a quaternion via Quaternion.Euler().
+1@Baldovino @Patrick20206 Okay, I just looked in the code. Modding traction is actually not a violation. :O Good luck!
+1@Gravity Auto-credit only works for one design. If a design uses parts from multiple designs, it won't show them all.
@kikasshes I thought so too, so I just added it, but you have to Show All Comments before it shows up.
+4@JoshuaW I'd recommend checking out this page.
+1@Patrick20206 I think that's a violation....not 100% sure, it's been a while since I looked in the code...
@roboflop109 Just build a car, upload it to the website, and then click Enter Tournament at the top of this page.
+1@GT3TobyRS Fixed.
+1@chancey21 You can xml mod some aspects, but best to get the tournament validator mod and double check before submitting.
@TheBoeingEngineer yep :)
@EternalDarkness :D
