@AudioDud3 I'm sorry to hear that. You make awesome stuff, so I'm surprised you haven't been featured yet. The good news is that when you hit platinum, you will get to choose a plane of yours for us to feature. Just tag me on the plane you want featured when that happens.
@Brields95 I'm thinking more along the lines of being able to paint a transparent color with the part materials, but if you are just looking for a single transparent part, as @JeffreyD2015 suggested, that would be much easier. That's more like how Gestour did it, I believe.
@503rdAirborneSoldier Deciding what goes into an update is based not just on what is requested, but also how hard it is to implement. We have to find the cross section of what people want and what we can deliver in a reasonable amount of time. The 1.6 update was a small update, but we're already working on 1.7, which might even have some things you mentioned.
@bspboy The game has changed very little since the last beta. I have already given out all promo codes for the v1 to YouTubers and press, so I don't have any left for the launch version.
It doesn't strictly look at the day, but rather the past 24 hours. You've uploaded 3 within the past 24 hours, so you should be able to upload again in about 12 hours.
@jamesPLANESii It's tricky with the way part materials are done and would require a significant rework of our part materials. Unless we have a eureka moment on how to implement it, we don't have any plans to do this.
@CaesiciusPlanes iOS beta testers, unfortunately not. But Google Play beta testers already purchased the game to beta test, so it should be free for them.
@JosephB2001 We have seen reports of that issue and we are hoping we fixed with new small updates submitted to Google Play and the Amazon App Store, but we can't update the Amazon Underground version since we've removed it.
@helilover03 I regret that XML-mod and mods are so similarly named. You are allowed to have XML-mods in this tournament, but you can't download a mod that has special parts and use those parts in this tournament.
@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....).
@ddweck32 Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy them!
@SajabAerospace No, that's not against any rules.
@Lahoski107 Unfortunately we can't do 3D prints anymore. EUCL3D has shut down.
@Lahoski107 I guess I never did say. How about another SimplePlanes Steam key?
@EarthwormJim Correct, though you can do position and rotation tweaking via XML modding or with Fine Tuner.
@Baconartor9000 Just build a prop plane and submit it here!
@helilover03 okay
@Hotwheelsfam Yes, I'm okay with that. Just make sure the changes are not something small, like a new paint job, or adding weapons, etc.
@AudioDud3 Done. Congrats on reaching platinum!
@EpicPigster1 I can't honestly remember! I can't remember colors very well.....I think it was similar to what you have here.
Nice build. I just recently saw one of these at an air show at Scott AFB in the midwest.

@Hotwheelsfam your comment has been removed. Please, don't talk like that on this website or we'll have to ban you.

@jamesPLANESii I agree. I wish I could give the game away for free to the iOS beta testers, but Apple doesn't have a way to do that.
@iPilot Nope, I've never been. It sounds awesome.
@whalesharkgaming They're coming in 1.7
@CaesiciusPlanes iOS beta testers, unfortunately not. But Google Play beta testers already purchased the game to beta test, so it should be free for them.
@ProKillaV12 Possibly, but it would cost us our soul.
That sounds like a reasonable number of hours.
@jamesPLANESii Just our upvotes and our love!
@JosephB2001 I think that would be fine to ask Android players to test your mod for you.
I'd definitely like to avoid people randomly showing up at our office. We've got games to make!
@hopotumon It's not in the game. I just made it on my dev machine and we don't have any plans of actually including it in the game.
@JosephB2001 We have seen reports of that issue and we are hoping we fixed with new small updates submitted to Google Play and the Amazon App Store, but we can't update the Amazon Underground version since we've removed it.

@LivingLizardZ no, you should be good.
Just did another validation check. Pretty much the only way to get disqualified is if you have weapons or mods.
@CaesiciusPlanes It just would not work.
@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.
@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.
@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.
That should do it.

It needs more missiles.
