@Stormtrooper61 If you got SP on Amazon Underground, then you never purchased or owned the game. You will have to purchase SP if on the Amazon App Store or Google Play if you want to get the new update.
@Stormtrooper61 Did you get SP on the Amazon App Store, or Amazon Underground?
You should be able to get the update on the Amazon App Store for free here.
Just ran a validation check. If you did not receive a notification, then your current design is good. No news is good news. I believe the only way to get kicked in this tournament is if you have weapons.
@TheNightmare811 Because the only way to add a map to SP is through a mod, and mods can also support code. Apple does not allow 3rd party code to run inside an app.
@Lahoski107 Ah, I forgot we put that in there. We did do them weekly back long ago, but we simply can't afford to do them weekly anymore. I'm shooting for more like 2 x month.
@SazonAir No, but you must be careful not to fine-tune something that is against the rules, such as part scale. You can get the tournament validation mod to check your design.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll see if we can get this in v1.7. How about this. Once the nose cone's width or height has been manually adjusted, it will no longer auto-size on connection. That way new players can still enjoy auto-sizing.
@EarthwormJim @AlecZ There certainly could be a problem here, but it's hard to say. It certainly is possible that Unity's physics engine does not accurately model gyroscopic behavior. Or, it's possible that these designs are simply not spinning fast enough. How many RPMs does an object of that size and mass need to spin to experience self stabilization? @EarthwormJim your design only has the bottom part of it spinning, and the bulk of the mass is not spinning, so I'm not surprised it has no gyro effects.
@TheRealAlbinoMosasaurus The 1.6 update should be available on Kindle now. Try restarting your device and check the app store again. There was an issue last week where it was not showing up, but it appears to be resolved (at least on my Kindle device....).
@Botfinder Nope, but as @Tully2001 suggested, you could pick a free code for Google Play or iOS instead of a Steam key. Or you could just give the Steam key to a friend.
@JMicah4 I think your video would fall under fair use and would be fine to include footage of the mod in your video as long as you cite the mod author and link to the mod in the video description.
@Chemicalau No, unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other places that will 3D print planes. EUCL3D had to manually adjust each order to make sure it fit the requirements of their printers. They would fatten up wings, or any section that was too thin. Quite laborious, but well done. It really is unfortunate that they weren't able to secure funding for the next round. Great guys.
@KiNo Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.5 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.01 Prop engine power multiplier did not pass validation.

@CaesiciusPlanes It just would not work.

@SlowJet nope, all planes will be in the tournament.
@FlyingThings thanks for letting me know. it's fixed now.
@SlowJet Qualifier?
@Geekpride Yep, still a 3 minute time limit. Planes only going 810mph are going to be left in the dust!
How did you know I commented here, Nathan? Was it the new email notification!?

Yep, I just added email notifications to the website for replies. If you don't want to get them, you can easily them off in your Manage Account page.

That should do it.

It needs more missiles.

It's wonderfully meta.
@Baconartor9000 the winner typically gets some upvotes on their design
@jamesPLANESii altitude is fairly low
@ThePrototype More like present day fast. Or maybe like year 2050 fast.....
@helilover03 yes, so remove your entry and re-submit a new design with no weapons.
@Lahoski107 No plans for weekly, maybe every 2-3 weeks.
@Jasperjl They weren't ready to be released yet, there was still more work to do on them.
@JMicah4 It's nothing, the webserver just internally redirects to the same page without the '/index' at the end.
@TheMutePaper yep, that was a big reason.
@helilover03 Yep, you need landing gear.
@Botfinder Nope, but as @Tully2001 suggested, you could pick a free code for Google Play or iOS instead of a Steam key. Or you could just give the Steam key to a friend.
@Lahoski107 We've just been busy getting the update out and also getting Aero Effect ready for release.
@DOX When I hear drag race, I think cars. It's definitely not a car race.
@Tully2001 Good idea. Sure, we can do that. They can pick which code they want.
@FlyingFanatic Good question. Yes, you need landing gear for the start.
@HellFireKoder :D not even other devs know about the race...it's super, ultra-classified.
@Fjorge No plans to include this course in the next update. It's specially made just for this tournament.
@MechWARRIOR57 @Fjorge Well, the prize is not quite as valuable to you, but you could always give the key to a friend.
@PhilipTarpley added that sound file. The sound file was enormous!
@JMicah4 I think your video would fall under fair use and would be fine to include footage of the mod in your video as long as you cite the mod author and link to the mod in the video description.
@nfsplatinum Amazon App Store or Amazon Underground?
@wb54 Is it working now?
We found a bug in v1.6.1 on the Mac App Store, so we uploaded a new version. Try updating to v1.6.2 on the Mac App Store.
+1@Hectord27 Thanks for the tip. We uploaded a new version, let me know if it's working now.
@wb54 Interesting. What device are you playing on?
@Chemicalau No, unfortunately, I'm not aware of any other places that will 3D print planes. EUCL3D had to manually adjust each order to make sure it fit the requirements of their printers.

@DankDorito Go back to this link and click the Download the SimplePlanes app on Google Play link at the bottom of the page.
You beat me! Have an upvote!
I beat you in the tournament. Have an upvote!
I apologize for not running a validation earlier in the week. Was very busy with the new SP update and completely forgot about it.
@KiNo Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.5 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.01 Prop engine power multiplier did not pass validation. Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.5 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.3 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.5 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.5 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.3 Mass scale did not pass validation: 0.5
@RailfanEthan No, not exactly, but that's a good guess!
