We believe we have identified the issue and we will be rolling an update out soon to Open Testing on Google Play. You can just wait until that's available and update to that and see if it fixes your issue.
I'm sorry to hear about the crashes you're experiencing with the beta version. Could you please let me know when exactly the game crashes and what type of device you are using?
If you're concerned about preserving your aircraft designs, you can back them up by connecting your Android device to a PC. Once connected, navigate to the following directory:
Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes/files
From here, copy the AircraftDesigns and SubAssemblies folders to your PC to safely back them up.
You can opt out of the beta by reverting to the production version of the game through the Google Play Store. This action should not cause any data loss as long as you do not uninstall the game. However, please note that while it's uncommon, I cannot guarantee that all data will be preserved in every case.
Thanks for sharing your story. It truly warms my heart to hear that our games have inspired you. Best of luck to you with your studies and thanks for playing!
@SBACERT Mod support for Android and iOS is something we want to take a closer look at next year when we're porting SP2 to mobile. I think we can do it but it will require using Lua for scripting instead of C#.
@DogedogebreadWithAnAK47 Yes, we will release it on mobile after the Steam release. It may be as late as 2026 for the mobile version. Your accounts and points will remain the same. This website will host content for both SP1 and SP2 content.
Thanks for letting us know. I removed the post just to limit the spread of this information. Who knows what will happen if it gets into the wrong hands! :D
@V @TheMouse It appears this is how the site has always handled hyperlinks, because I rolled back before my recent change and checked. You can fix it easy enough by putting using https://3ds.hacks.guide for the link instead of 3ds.hacks.guide
@SimpleStudent I agree. I've actually started working on that before but had to switch gears to something else. Maybe some day I'll find time to finally implement it!
@Bryan5 It's a highly requested features so of course it is something that we are considering, but ultimately that will come down to if we have enough time before release. If not before the initial release then I suspect that we will tackle it in a future, tank themed update.
@StockPlanesRemastered We do plan to make Chad customizable to some extent with different accessories and at some point we hope to have other characters as well.
@Ashdenpaw1 We're focusing on the Steam release for now, but we do plan to have multiplayer support on mobile as well. We hope to have support for cross play so you can hop join a server that has both desktop players and mobile players. This will have a lot of challenges however and we can't make any promises at this time.
@TatsuTheOtaku Our plan is to be able to load a SP1 craft in SP2 and it should mostly work as it does in SP1. If you resave in SP2 the XML will be different and it will not load in SP1.
@Red920 LAN connections do work at the moment, but there is no UI for that yet so you might have to use the dev console: connect 192.168.1.5
It's still early to say though. For the first version we will be focused on using Steam's relay networks so that will be the officially supported way to connect.
@GuardianAerospace yes, we'll have a chat message UI in the game so you can talk via text, but I imagine most players will just use Discord for voice chat.
@32 Thank you for the offer, but we do already have a music company we really enjoy working with. World of Goo 2, that's cool. I enjoyed the first one quite a bit.
Thanks for letting us know. I just pushed an update that prevents users with very low points from posting inline links. Let me know if you notice anything broken! :D
@TheMouse Good point. I just pushed another to notify you if the upvote didn't go through because of the cooldown. Let me know if everything is completely busted again! :D
I pushed an update that might fix the issue, but sadly I can't reproduce the original issue here at the office so I am not sure. Let me know if things are working for you now.
@Graingy @Mousewithamachinegun122 When you upload a craft to SimplePlanes.com, you retain ownership over your original ideas and concepts. However, you grant Jundroo permission to use these creations for marketing and promotional purposes, which helps us highlight your incredible work and brings more visibility to it.
Jundroo owns the intellectual property related to the site's operation and presentation. This includes the technology and services that support SimplePlanes.com, but not the creative concepts of your user-submitted designs.

We have no issue with you selling your original creations made using our platform, but any sales must respect copyright and trademark laws relating to the content of your creation.

While SimplePlanes is running, right click the speaker item in the system try and select Open Volume Mixer. Do you see SimplePlanes in the list with volume at 100%?
@LonelySea22 yep, in VR the player can cycle through cameras just like in the pancake version. They pov is centered on the camera but after that they can move around.
@LonelySea22 We don't we don't directly support that, but I suppose you could walk around to some extent if your set up a guardian boundary large enough.

Great work, @MisterT!

+3Thanks for letting us know. I removed the post just to limit the spread of this information. Who knows what will happen if it gets into the wrong hands! :D
I'll try to take a look at this next week.

@Rb2h third actually. My account was first, then @PhilipTarpley, then @Lipoly.
+1@V Thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear you are doing well!
+1@Graingy hats are a good idea. We will certainly be looking ways to customize Chad.

+4It's a great build, but unfortunately I cannot curate it for VR because the performance cost is too high and it runs too slowly on Quest devices.
