@Thefalloutplayr You don't need engines as they are now, you put a NEW TYPE OF PART SOMEWHERE on the design, "car engine", and you then tell the wheels through a nice new GUI what engine they run off of.
Wheels that don't even need that? WHY!? There's no reason to chop off the engine, except to get farther from realistic, it won't hinder creativity or possibilities at all, you just stick an engine ANYWHERE on your design and WIRELESSLY connect it to the wheel, if you want give each wheel it's own engine...
@Flightsonic They did, but it wasn't a definite thing, they said, exactly
we are planning another big update at the end of next month
It doesn't really say before the end of the month, AND it said planning, so while it will probably be really soon, it's not certain (or wasn't, as of the time of the email).
@Theperson by following the directions closely, and note just trying to open the mod file.
If you have already done it EXACTLY as the directions say, then make sure you completely exit SP with the in-game button, then go back in, and if that doesn't work try force-stopping SP or rebooting your device.
If that doesn't work, sorry, I can't help because I have no knowledge of the problem and I can't experiment.
Go to the mod menu, select the mod, hit disable, and completely restart the game. (on mobile you MIGHT need to force kill SP, google how to force kill applications on your device for directions if just disabling and exiting doesn't work).
@QUOTEGOD kindle fire supports mods just like any other Android devices, because it runs a modified version of Android.
If you have SP on it, you can run mods, I tested this on my kindle fire, just use a file browser like ES File explorer or something, and move the mod file as stated in the instructions.
@TehDuck you can post photos, with the direct image link, that first image you tried to post is a google view link, not the direct image link, however if you change it to the one you just gave me a link to, it should work.
@TheDerpyDude, @MaleticAirplanes told me that it happens without the mod sometimes, and isn't the mods fault, the camera gets laggy, and since it's stock SP I can't fix it, sorry :/
what this mod has a chance of doing is adding to the lag a little bit and pushing it over the edge, but due to how the mod works I can't stop that either :(
@TheDerpyDude The main button to bring up the GUI?
I'll do more testing, but on my kindle fire there wasn't such a problem, and if I can't find the problem I probably won't be able to fix it... does it always happen?
if there's any more details at all, I'd like to hear them, but if not, I'm sorry...
I hope I can find the bug on my device :/
@MoterKade Thanks, I've replied on reddit and I'm trying to figure out how to solve problem (though it also appears in the base game with XML editing rotations...).
@MoterKade Update: the problem is called a "gimbal lock", and until/unless I fix it, you can "fix" it by resetting rotations to 0 and then re-rotating them... and if you need to also rotate it around Y and Z axes as well as X, try to avoid X rotation of 270, because that seems to cause a gimbal lock and you'll need to reset the rotations :/
@MoterKade I got another report of that bug, but no known way to reliably reproduce it, so if you're airplane does reliably reproduce it you could upload it unlisted and PM me on reddit (same username, HellFireKoder), and please give instructions on how to cause it?
Though I'm not sure I can fix it as I don't properly understand what I suspect it is, but I'll look into it and try to figure it out if I can :)
Edit: if you don't want to even do unlisted you could upload the airplane .xml file to dropbox and PM me the link to that instead.
Shift + [wasdqe][pick one, each goes in a direction], and/or you can try out the mod I just put in beta.
Either way, but the part around where you want it, but attached, and then use "Nudge" (shift+wasdqe is "nudge"), or the mod, to move it to where you really want it.
@HetaliaAerospaceIndustries Use a file explorer like ES File Explorer or something, then browser to /Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes/files/ and open settings.xml
@nathanmikeska Thanks! About the decimal input, I didn't even think of that! Makes sense, I'll try it :)
And the backspace... for some reason I thought those were read only? Well if that works that's awesome, thanks!
(not to mention I can wreak havoc controlling player inputs :p)
@Waemoth I will probably look into it eventually, but I don't know if I'll actually pull it off.
That said, Android users can XML edit just like PC users, you just need to go to Android/data/com.jundroo.SimplePlanes/files/AircrafDesigns and open up a a plane xml file in a text editor. (PC does have better faster tools for it, but that goes for pretty much anything)
@mufasa6896 Fuselages start to act funny when bigger than 5, and I couldn't change it so that the stock GUI could make it bigger... I'm not sure about making a fine-tuner for size of fuselages, it's needed but would probably be harder than this, I'll probably look into it eventually, but it might not happen.
Oops! I meant to put that in the main post, since SP gobbles up any keyboard input that it has bound to something, you can't use the keys it has bound, so I recommend that you go into the controls configuration and in "designer" remove the "backspace" from the delete part input, as well as changing the "next weapon" input (in the "flight" tab) to something other than the period/dot so that you can type in custom decimal numbers too.
@TehDuck the stock Windows file browser, but somewhere there will probably be a settings in the downloadable app as well (most good file browsers have the option, but IDK if the app does).
@TehDuck fill in [YourUsername] with your username on the PC, and in the file explorer click on "view" tab and make sure that "show hidden" is checked, because AppData may be a hidden folder.
@ThunderscreechEngineering No, just click the link, and click download...
@TheGuyWhoFliesToGetHisPie Oh ok... please specify in the future. They are very different.
modding?
@Thefalloutplayr You don't need engines as they are now, you put a NEW TYPE OF PART SOMEWHERE on the design, "car engine", and you then tell the wheels through a nice new GUI what engine they run off of.

@Thefalloutplayr The resizable wheels are "drive able", they are "car wheels" and you hook them up to a "car engine" kinda like, wirelessly.
What version of Unity are you using to make the mod?
You want 5.1.4 to mod SimplePlanes, newer versions may be incompatible, you can get 5.1.4 from the archive
@FrankieB Yes, and that doesn't change what I said.
@Flightsonic They did, but it wasn't a definite thing, they said, exactly
It doesn't really say before the end of the month, AND it said planning, so while it will probably be really soon, it's not certain (or wasn't, as of the time of the email).
@Flightsonic Then I'd ask you where you got the information, since they didn't say it'd definitely be before April :p
@ThunderscreechEngineering really? how'd you do that? :p
@Farhad oh, sorry, that's

@Farhad check this out for formatting "secrets"!
@Skua did a nice write up of pretty much all forum formatting here
Go to the mod menu, select the mod, hit disable, and completely restart the game. (on mobile you MIGHT need to force kill SP, google how to force kill applications on your device for directions if just disabling and exiting doesn't work).
@letsgofast11 YAY! :)
@letsgofast11 it should, try it.
@kikasshes That looks great, I'm glad to help :)
@TehDuck thanks, but I'm not pulling images off of Google or anything, and I said simple XD

Also, I don't think that quite fits No Gravity XD
Also, simple icons are far better :)
Here, if you want to fully disable gravity ;)
@TehDuck Maybe when I get an icon for it, but I don't even know what icon would symbolize no gravity ='D
Any ideas for icon are welcome... it's really a small mod, took me less than an hour to make this one XD

*XML modders.
@TheDerpyDude The mirroring problem happens in stock SP, just subtract 180 from the rotation, or hit the stock rotate buttons twice or something.
The glitch with the camera, could you try to describe it a bit better? Now you're saying it happens all the time again?
@TheDerpyDude no problem, thanks for reporting back on it.
@TheDerpyDude The main button to bring up the GUI?

@MrVaultech Haha, thanks =D
@SpiritusRaptor Awesome, thanks!
@SpiritusRaptor Do you install it on OSX by downloading the
.spmodand moving it there then? Like PC directions but with the different path?Thanks, I'll add it to the main post :)
@SpiritusRaptor Thanks!
@MoterKade Thanks, I've replied on reddit and I'm trying to figure out how to solve problem (though it also appears in the base game with XML editing rotations...).
@Nef680 you can't mod on iOS because of Apple's policy, sorry.
@MoterKade Update: the problem is called a "gimbal lock", and until/unless I fix it, you can "fix" it by resetting rotations to 0 and then re-rotating them... and if you need to also rotate it around Y and Z axes as well as X, try to avoid X rotation of 270, because that seems to cause a gimbal lock and you'll need to reset the rotations :/
@ArtisticFailure the wheels are not, though.

@ValtsuAircraftIndustries it's a folder (or rather, a folder path), you get there with a file browser...
@MrMecha You're welcome! Thanks for the comment =D
@TehDuck the stock Windows file browser, but somewhere there will probably be a settings in the downloadable app as well (most good file browsers have the option, but IDK if the app does).
