  • This is so annoying. (CLOSED) 8.5 years ago

    @Misterman124 Sorry to hear that. What device are you using? If it's an older Android device, then it's hard to get companies to invest time and money to improve performance on a device that will soon be antiquated.

  • Troubleshooting SimplePlanes on Windows 8.5 years ago

    @EarthwormJim There's not very many built-in, but if you make a mod you can register your own commands. Here's what is in there by default:

    • Pause
    • Unpause
    • Help
    • ?
    • ToggleFPS

  • Troubleshooting SimplePlanes on Windows 8.5 years ago

    @EarthwormJim Physics should be stable between varying FPS.

  • Troubleshooting SimplePlanes on Windows 8.5 years ago

    @EarthwormJim Hard to say since every PC is different, but best way to tell is to try them both and compare.

  • Help! Can't download planes, (Please verify internet connection?) 8.5 years ago

    @CALVIN232 Might be a memory issue. Try disabling music and disabling Video Replay in the main menu and hopefully that will help to make the game a little more stable.

  • World record 8.5 years ago

    @SPCWorkshops nice! i think you reached escape velocity there. If it keeps going, it might end up in SimpleRockets 2.

  • 737-700 V.1.1.5 8.5 years ago

    @ForeverPie Okay, thanks. Just leave it highlighted like it is and we will get to it as soon as we can. We are shooting to do about 1 platinum per day.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @Hockeygoalie21 Yes, you can put wings inside of other wings using nudging.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @Zkillerwolfe Yes, you can disable collisions on any part in your plane.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @PlanesOfOld In theory you're right, unfortunately it's not something I can enforce and it's a slippery slope. Just embrace it and have fun!

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @Camroncs airplanes are spawned in air, definitely don't need any landing gear!

  • Unlisted forum post PURGE 8.5 years ago

    @Johndfg Sorry, no plans for that either. I don't think it's too bad to delete a plane. If I were going to delete a whole truckload, I would open up my posts like you have in the screenshot above. Then I would middle click each plane I want to delete so that it opens in a new tab and then just crunch through each tab and delete the airplane and then press CTRL+W to close that tab. Wouldn't take long at all to delete dozens of airplanes that way.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    @Himynameiswalrus i featured it, but I pulled it back off because I realized that I pushed off another plane that had only been in a feature spot for a small time. I will post it again soon. Sorry about the confusion.

  • TO THE DEV(S) 8.5 years ago

    @KINTARO I'm sorry but we don't do name changes anymore.

  • Unlisted forum post PURGE 8.5 years ago

    @Johndfg I'm sorry but I don't think we will ever add this feature. I agree it would be helpful in your case, but between the dev effort and the potential for players accidentally delete a lot of their planes I don't think it's a good idea.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    @Tully2001 Okay, thanks!

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    @BaconAircraft that's fine. Let us know when you're ready.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @BaconAircraft
    1. Is disabled collision attribute allowed to be applied to a submission? Yes
    2. Are XML modded wings (disabled physics, non-breakable) allowed? Yes, as long as you don't use any of the restricted attributes - fuel tanks, engines, part scale, mass scale, and power scale.
    3. Is XML modded fuselage allowed (negative fuel, negative weight)? No

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @SkullsAndCrossbones You could give your 3D print to someone else.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @PyrusEnderhunter sure, just as long as it doesn't have any jet engines or XML-mods.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @MechWARRIOR57 High physics

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    @MechWARRIOR57 I'm sorry but I can't make promises like that.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    @MechWARRIOR57 We have decided to only auto-feature the Platinum players. There are simply too many gold players to feature them all. It would take close to a year to get through everyone.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    We will try and feature about one platinum player per day. @BaconAircraft, @Himynameiswalrus, @Tully2001, @BaconEggs you will be some of the first. Let us know when you have your airplane highlighted.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    I've removed this post since I made a new one.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    Okay, looking through the list of players it will take a very long time to work through all of the platinums AND golds, so we are going to start with the platinum. I'll post the blog post soon.

  • Now Featuring Gold Players 8.5 years ago

    @Johndfg @BaconEggs @EternalDarkness We talked about this some more and we're actually going to go through and feature every player who is above gold and has never been featured. It will take a while to work through all the players, but we owe it to you guys. We'll throw up a blog post soon with some more details.

  • Cheating?! Or not? 8.5 years ago

    @Flightsonic We talked about this a little this morning and as long as you are giving credit to any original designs and have their permission, I think you are in the clear. I would like to see how this turns out.

  • Indy Air Race 8.5 years ago

    @mustafanaveed Nudging and rotating is allowed. Part scaling is not.

  • Cheating?! Or not? 8.5 years ago

    I'm not sure I understand exactly. Would you be posting the same airplane under your separate accounts?

  • [Finished] Airliner Challenge 8.5 years ago

    @BaconAircraft @legiondesigns Okay, guys, let's take some time to cool off. I suggest you both use the block feature and go on your separate ways.

  • Snow Crawl 8.5 years ago

    @Generalkeath you had multiple parts using the partScale XML attribute, which is not allowed.

  • Help! Technical difficulties! 8.5 years ago

    @Flightsonic lol, yes that doesn't look good! definitely running out of memory.

  • Help! Technical difficulties! 8.5 years ago

    @Flightsonic No, the game doesn't limit its memory use, but it will likely start throwing errors when it can't allocate any more memory, which is what your dev console is spitting out.

  • Help! Technical difficulties! 8.5 years ago

    @Flightsonic Looks like you have an enormous aircraft loaded. When that happens, we change up the drag calculation so that it doesn't take a ridiculous amount of memory and time to compute. It looks like you are still running out of memory though.

  • Snow Crawl 8.5 years ago

    @marcox43 Autoflip should work for this tournament. Sorry about that.

  • --CAUTION WITH SMOKE TRAIL MOD-- 8.5 years ago

    Definitely nothing to do with the smoke trail mod. It's one of the few mods with published source code.

  • Need help for my next laptop 8.5 years ago

    For strictly gaming, you would be better off with the the 960M.

  • Snow Crawl 8.5 years ago

    @Tully2001 yes disableAircraftCollisions="True" is allowed for this tournament.

  • Pc randomly rebooting, has simplePlanes got anything to do with this? 8.6 years ago

    You can try forcing D3D9 and see if that helps stability.

  • WIP - Rocks, Logs, etc. 8.6 years ago

    @ian8811946 thanks for the info and you are correct that the no suspension collider doesn't solve the problem. It's been a while since I looked at that code. Unfortunately we don't have any plans to fix this issue or add proper transmissions / gears.

  • WIP - Rocks, Logs, etc. 8.6 years ago

    Sorry, unfortunately that's how wheel physics works with wheels that have suspension enabled. If you disable suspension on the wheel, it won't cut through the terrain like that.

  • More Tournament speciality 8.6 years ago

    @Tully2001 certainly some things to consider.

  • First points in SP? 8.6 years ago

    It's hard to tell since we did a major overhaul of the point system and moved it from star ratings to simple upvotes. The best I can tell is this is the first plane to ever receive a star rating (which has since been converted to an upvote).

  • Transfer to Kindle Fire 8.6 years ago

    I'm not sure about how the kid zone works and if it will access the same folder for airplane files, but if it does then yes, you should be able to download a plane in the adult section, save the airplane, and then open the game in the kid zone and it should show up in the load airplane list.

  • THE LIGHTS ARE BACK! NOOOOOOO!!! 8.6 years ago

    Looks possessed to me, maybe try calling an exorcist. Or maybe your android device's GPU is a bit older and the drivers are buggy. Could be either one of those.

  • Flechette fighter 8.6 years ago

    How does it hover!

  • My Whirly Bird 8.6 years ago

    Amazing!

  • HELP! 8.6 years ago

    Do you have mods enabled? Try disabling all mods. If that doesn't work, then you may need to re-install. Sadly, you will lose all planes on your phone, so I recommend backing them up to SimplePlanes.com as unlisted before that. If you can't access the designer to backup your planes, you should be able to connect your phone to a computer and copy the aircraft files onto your computer.
