They aren't some random guys, they are manually selected by the devs, and they only have access to your IP address, which you can't easily find the actual location of, just a general, like, town.
And... you don't give your name when you sign up.
And really it's just stupid to worry about it because the moderators are awesome, and very trustworthy, that's why they got the damn "job".
NO restrictions need to be applied, they may need access to the information they have access to, and they aren't going to abuse it, they are always hand-picked by the devs... and there's like, 3.
This may not work (maybe you've even tried it, and the option isn't there), but I had to use the app search for SimplePlanes, click it, then hit "update" where the buy button would be if I hadn't owned it.
@Flightsonic You mean you did it manually? This does it automatically if possible.
It might not work, actually, it doesn't work for me, but if it can, it'll handle it automagically, otherwise... the router sucks (yes, my router sucks :/)
(it's also possible for it to be a setting on many routers... mine cooperated for like 5 minutes once, but I couldn't get it to work for longer, and I forgot how I even did that)
@saxyplane @Thefalloutplayr Activation Group 8 is what RCN is bound to by default, and it's great for if you want to be able to de-activate something but want AI to use it.
@RedstoneArmory running the executable creates the server... There is no in-game GUI for it, and there won't be, but there will be a GUI with server options on the executable.
It's like running a Terraria server, with the executable they provide (except I'm gonna add a GUI).
And there won't be a list of servers, because then I would need to keep up and maintenance a "server list" server, where servers register, which is a bunch of trouble.
It's hardly any trouble to type in an IP address. That's how Terraria and Minecraft do it!
@RedstoneArmory not exactly, it will include the server executable which anyone can run, if you give people your IP around the world, it can be "global", or if you just use IPv4 inside the LAN, then it can be LAN (you can also do both at once).
@Coen1888 kindle fire is just Amazon's modified Android, and since my only "Android" device right now is an HDX, plus as far as I've tried Android mods work on kindle fire, you'll almost definitely be able to use it if we get an Android version working :)
@Sirstupid I made it, that's why I said "of mine", sorry I wasn't more clear.
I could add it to a separate mod... but if I do that I want to add AI to the new plane (I can just use SPs AI, but the modding API doesn't give you access to that), and right now it just loads editor.xml, so it's just a duplicate of your plane... I may work on it after MP is good.
@Challenger Right... but then they'd need to keep it good quality, maintenance, and properly integrate with the game... and of course, the biggest thing is, that's all assuming Android can handle it, and that the networking solution I'm using will work properly on Android.
@IStoleYourMeme Now that I think of it, I think someone did say something about perfectly placed guns firing past props, before mobile update came out...
Well, physics are a little different on mobile... maybe that's why...
@TheLatentImage Pretty much what I did, but since I have a dev command of mine that lets me spawn a plane in sandbox, I had some fun with falling planes as well as stationary bridges }:)
@Flightsonic It's still TBA, I'll ask UO to edit the description when we release it, or put it in beta or something, but I'll also be posting about anything past closed beta.
@Flightsonic no problem, that's a fair question... there actually isn't really... I'm thinking about making a thread in the Steam modding forum (maybe reddit, too) for the multiplayer "dev log", but IDK how often I'd actually post to it, since development is pretty sporadic...
@dsr1aviation yeah I was there... TheMasterSoldier was a bit of a jerk... but I don't think it was ban-worthy... and it was just the one post, and three or four comments...
Edit: I did delete my comment, though... it said TheMasterSoldier was heavily implying everyone's planes were bad... I was almost disappointed when he didn't try to argue against me on that :p

@JMicah4 I'm glad to help :)
I got it on my kindle fire HDX.
This may not work (maybe you've even tried it, and the option isn't there), but I had to use the app search for SimplePlanes, click it, then hit "update" where the buy button would be if I hadn't owned it.
This is amazing... just don't fire knuckle guns and rockets at the same time, it blows up XD
This thing runs on my kindle fire HDX with settings maxed, so it's probably mobile friendly at least on low for many devices :)
Me and UnstableOrbit are working on a multiplayer mod.
"Today" is the last 24 hours.
You uploaded one plane 10 hours ago, and another plane 12 hours ago.
Wait until it's been 24 hours since you uploaded.
@Flightsonic I forgot everyone thinks any fiddling with settings or routers or computers at all is hacking... good luck!
@Flightsonic But anyway, that's just for hosting the server, if you're not worried to much about being the host, then it's not a problem...
If you do wanna be the host, then... IDK, threaten your router, or beat it until it does what you say to :P

Mods like ".SPmod" files?
Android needs ".SPmod-Android", iOS doesn't support them because of Apple's policy.
If I could upvote this twice... oh wait, I did! 'cause you posted on reddit, too :p.
That's really cool, and I'm amazed at your pilot skills, I've always forgotten to use yaw to counter spin and then... BOOM, crash, BANG...
@saxyplane @Thefalloutplayr Activation Group 8 is what RCN is bound to by default, and it's great for if you want to be able to de-activate something but want AI to use it.
@Flightsonic If your router supports UPnP, like I think most do these days, yes it should handle port forwarding.
@RyneKuczy lol, apparently saying he should have settled on the account ban is "starting another round of trash talking from the others"...
@DeezDucks Maybe not!

Me and UnstableOrbit are working on a multiplayer mod, if you're on PC (hopefully Android, but we aren't going to even look into it until PC release).
It's not a glitch, it gives you an achievement on Steam.
If you want the race to be fair, just DON'T USE THE WEAPONS. It's your choice.
@Lucasmah Yeah, wish I could help... and lol, it did it with your comment (only one duplicate of the comment, though).
@SalemASaberhagen I think it was probably a bug, but either way he needs to get deleting...
@RedstoneArmory Ok.
@JovianPat Haha, awesome =D
@JovianPat Now dogfight with it!
That looks awesome :)
@Sirstupid Do'h! I actually knew that... morning memory :(
XML is plenty useful to create planes with good handling, since with XML, you can make much finer edits, which can make balance much easier.
That's a really nice plane, though, as I said, XML just makes it easier for some people (like me, who lack building skill), you did a great job.

Yes, with really fast turns, when the missile is close... also easier if you're flying towards it.
I've only dodged a couple, because my planes don't do turns at high speeds well, but some people don't even have trouble dodging them
@Coen1888 kindle fire is just Amazon's modified Android, and since my only "Android" device right now is an HDX, plus as far as I've tried Android mods work on kindle fire, you'll almost definitely be able to use it if we get an Android version working :)
@Coen1888 After PC is done we may look into Android, but Apple's policy makes iOS impossible.
I'll add this to the post
@Sirstupid It's a command I made for testing stuff in the multiplayer mod (the command is in the MP mod), if that's what you mean?
@Sirstupid I made it, that's why I said "of mine", sorry I wasn't more clear.
I could add it to a separate mod... but if I do that I want to add AI to the new plane (I can just use SPs AI, but the modding API doesn't give you access to that), and right now it just loads editor.xml, so it's just a duplicate of your plane... I may work on it after MP is good.
@Firstorder The mod is free roam... however, I may add a multiplayer API, and then other modders could create missions designed for multiplayer...
@Challenger Right... but then they'd need to keep it good quality, maintenance, and properly integrate with the game... and of course, the biggest thing is, that's all assuming Android can handle it, and that the networking solution I'm using will work properly on Android.
@TheGuyWhoFliesToGetHisPie A lot of people requested that, it's awesome it's finally coming!
(So yeah, huge thanks, devs!)

@LoganAerocraft Me and UnstableOrbit are working on a multiplayer mod (PC, maybe Android, Apple's policy says not iOS).
"The guns on the PC version can fire through propellers" uh... mine always blow me up... do they need to be placed perfectly for this?
@TheLatentImage Pretty much what I did, but since I have a dev command of mine that lets me spawn a plane in sandbox, I had some fun with falling planes as well as stationary bridges }:)
@Skua That's why it's got the explosives! Well, mostly because I can't aim I mean... :P
Thanks for the help on this plane, I modified it a bit more and now it can fly ok at 40,000ft... still not very good, but OK XD
This thing will lose... but hopefully it'll be funny! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/xWsCXJ/Silver-Blood-Devil
The devs are aware, please remove this so you aren't screaming it to anyone who will use it. saying not to isn't going to stop people.
(PM them on reddit next time)
@FullFruntall "@HellFireKoder you need som1 to photoshop that dragon spitting out lines off code on fire"
What do ya think? It's not real code, though... just ones and zeros...
They're also not on fire, because I'm lazy...

@dilisvarskvlavi It's a mod for SimplePlanes.
@UnstableOrbit is developing the SimpleWarships mod, which has cannons...

NO IT DIDN'T!
It came on PC first, through Gumroad. Then mobile, and, over a year later, it came on Steam.
