Remember when we told you we were done with updates for SimplePlanes, indefinitely? Well, we were wrong! We had a few small features and several bug fixes that have accumulated in our repo so we decided to finish them up and push out a final update before sailing away to the next project(s). This will be our last update for SimplePlanes, unless we have any critical issues that pop up, but hey that doesn't mean the story ends here...
You might ask "is the next major project SimplePlanes 2?" Great question! That's a very strong contender, but there are other project ideas that we are very excited about as well. Part of the team has been focusing on research and development and rest assured that once we have something more substantial to share you can expect more frequent updates from us.
HOW TO GET BETA
The beta is currently only available for SimplePlanes and SimplePlanes VR on Steam. We plan to roll it out to mobile late this week / early next week.
- Open the Steam client and go to your Library
- Right-click on SimplePlanes and select Properties
- Go to the Betas tab
- Select public-test from the beta dropdown
- Click Close
CHANGELIST
Features
- Added 3 new switch styles: "Flip", "Rocker" and "Pivot"
- Added 3 new lever variants
Game Engine / Package Updates
- Updated the game engine to Unity 2022.3.9
- Updated the input system
- Updated some VR related packages
- Several other libraries/packages updated
Tweaks
- Added dev console command: "ClearPlayerPrefsImmediately", which will wipe all SimplePlanes "PlayerPrefs", which primarily contain input mapping settings, as well as some game settings which are not saved in the normal Settings.xml file. This may be useful in cases where a game reinstall has not solved a problem, primarily ones which are related to joysticks/gamepads.
- Removed some unnecessary debug logs.
- Increased VR joystick deadzone for Throttle input to reduce accidental throttle adjustment during yaw.
- Added variable deadzone to VR joystick Throttle input, which adjusts according to Yaw to prevent accidental Throttle adjustment.
- Added Restore Default button to VR Settings Menu.
- Increased default target framerate to 60
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an Android bug with designer blueprints not working.
- Fixed a mobile bug where downloading a plane from the website would not auto-load the designer.
- Fixed a bug with building mods which could result in larger mod files than necessary.
- Fix an error spam in some controls that users attempted to disable that was causing lag.
- Fixed an issue with the fog on high quality water not matching the fog of the terrain on some platforms
- Fixed a bug where some Surface-to-Air missiles could occasionally pass through terrain.
- Fixed a mod tools bug which prevented starting a mod without Unity Android build support installed
- Fixed a VR bug where you could enter flight before a selected craft was downloaded, resulting with the old craft loading in flight.
- Fixed a bug where AI Aircraft would sometimes spawn parts in the wrong positions.
- Fixed a bug where torpedo propeller misaligned on launch. Fixed bug where freefalling custom weapon "shells" wouldn't rotate with the attached weapon part.
- Fixed a bug where line breaks entered into craft instructions while holding shift would break saving to XML and lock you in the designer.
- Fixed a bug with the rendering of bomb predictor circle and burn marks on SnowStone and Maywar.
- Fixed a bug with VR radial menu tooltips shrinking in width until they are unreadable.
- Fixed a bug with the AI where, under certain conditions, the code would endlessly add AI aircraft targets to an AI's targeting system.
- Fixed bug where propellers/helicopter rotors don't break off when rotation is reversed.
- Fixed bug where hidden flyouts would be visible in designer on some mobile devices with notches.
v1.12.101
- Fixed bug causing strange rotation effects on crafts.
- Fixed FineTuner
v1.12.102
- Fixed crashing on startup on some Android devices
- Allow changing target framerate in main menu settings on Android
- Fixed bug preventing some control base setups from being appropriately floppy.
v1.12.103
- Fixed a bug where the part type could not be changed with Overload.
The mobile versions should be available soon for beta testing. iOS is here and Google Play is here.
There is a known issue where the game crashes on Android on startup. Unfortunately, this is a bug with Unity so we will need to wait until they can fix the issue. Fortunately they are aware of the issue.
If you find a bug, please include the text
#bugin your comment somewhere so I can easily find it with CTRL+F. Thanks for playing...and testing!500th Comment and 250th Upvote...
@Cuboidable
Hi! May this post answers all your curiosity.
@Superliner350 1 year late to this but....... what did he do actually?
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes Looking back from this point, I believe 2 and part of 3 in you're comment are true, (part of 3 because JUNO is the main income maker)
@Snargles @AndrewGarrison I can confirm this
bug the new levers and switch types dont appear in spvr on quest 2
knownbug Torpedo issue gets annoying when i take screenshots.
I try to insert the planes in the game but it doesn’t show the name just a black box
@LowtusF139 oh ok
@Tupolev90 The game will no longer get updated
bug overload refuses to accept almost all missile modifications. It appears i can change the name and thats about it. Is this a permanent change? Or a bug? Please fix, i have a lot of fun playing with the missiles.
Bicycle wheels plz
bug
@AndrewGarrison
The game is having freeze periods on Android/Chromebooks it is freezing so bad leaving the game has to happen but when I tested it leaving when I got back on freeze again after a few seconds of getting in-game
And also though let you know and also thank you for making a game where people who love flying and coding as much as you and I have grown up with this game. It's sad to see it go but it is a new chapter for you all and wish you luck even tho it is end update i will still play if i can.
Fix game not responding in mobile plz
@AndrewGarrison in 1.13 can you add smoke trail parts,make maywar available on android and iOS,add sliding canopys and lastly the ability to spawn at gates aprons or hangers
why wont it be free
@Roms220 Thats not possible anymore because of google play store. The google play store asked simpleplanes to remove mod support because there may be a risk of viruses in the mods while downloading.
.
Even of they did add that back, they need so much paperwork, some random stuff they need to do, and allat
bug
@AndrewGarrison
Certain times then you click on a modifiable item, the options to modify them disappear or just get corrupted(like with the text or prop engine items), not that big of a deal but very annoying
@Roms220 yes please...
@Roms220 SO SURE 99X
Please add mod support back to the mobile version of simpleplanes
@NoTimeForLaughing OK that fix the problem. Thanks for the info!
Also, forgot to mention this, when i was playing simpleplanes VR with the Lever 2, it was not there. I did not see “update” for the game.
For some reason the updated game is very laggy on my phone (Samsung S23). Can you check why is it the case?
Could we have the multiplayer mod implemented into the game before the last update please
Have you guys added support for the iPhone 14 & 15 display?
bug
The publishing bug is back.... @AndrewGarrison
P.s rn the newest build published is 5 hours ago and counting
@AndrewGarrison
Bug
Very definitely a bug, for some reason, if i spawn in a second enemy aircraft, it would only attack the other enemy aircraft, and not mine, like im completely invisible to the second and third enemy, can you guys look into this?
@AndrewGarrison #bug
On mobile, whenever I click on "Download Planes" and go to this website, then go back to the app, it will not allow me to click anything else unless I exit the app and close it entirely to open it back up. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I play on an android device.
Yezzzzzz! let’s gooooo!😃😃😃
ANOTHER UPDATE💀
@StaleCrackers Your device should be compatible. Can you email your log file to us at games@jundroo.com? Hopefully that will shed some light on what is happening. You can find it using the Files app here:
On My iPhone -> SimplePlanes -> Player.log@Dracul0Anderson Funky Trees should not be affected by this update and should still work as it did.
@AndrewGarrison
What exactly does "updated the input system & mean? Will pre-update funky trees codes no longer work?
@AndrewGarrison I have an IPad Mini 2. I’ve restarted my IPad multiple times and nothing has changed And Its updated to the latest IOS version.
@StaleCrackers Try restarting your device and see if that fixes the issue. What kind of iPad do you have? Does your iPad have the latest iOS installed?
@AndrewGarrison
Motorola E7, Android 10
It appeared again, so no screenshot (strange?)
The bug was simply no weapons part section.
Can’t open the game on IPad. Crashes 2 seconds after entering
bug
In the mobile version the helicopter rotor spin awkwardly, slow, and distorted compared to the last version, you should make it spin faster just like a real helicopter blade rotors. Tested this on various helicopter build.
Tested on Samsung A53 and Iphone 12
@Dragoranos Can you post a screenshot? What kind of device do you have?
bug
@AndrewGarrison Appears to be fixed. Thanks!
BUT theres another problem...
The weapons part section is gone....
bug it wont let me play the game without me exiting the game and re entering.
@AndrewGarrison Thank you, Your Highness
@Ruskiwaffle1991 This should be fixed in v1.12.103. Check your app store for the update.
bug Replacing parts through XML Overload deletes parts instead, also makes clicking the play button not do anything.
@SiBangsatYa They don't even know if they're making it yet, let alone have a build of the game that could incorporate that feature. Give Jundroo time.
Thank you for supporting this game for so long. You turned SimplePlanes from a simple construction game into modelling software lite, and gave us dozens of bits and bobs to play with. I've been around since before weapons were introduced, and to say I've gotten several times my money's worth would be an understatement. I'm super excited to see what game you make next, and really hope it's a follow up to SP!
It there any possibility that my suggestion for new stuff will be added(I don't normally do this, but since this is the last update, I realized that this also the last chance I have to ask for new features/parts)?
@Dragoranos This is fixed in v1.12.103, which is rolling out to mobile today. Once you get the update, please let me know if it is working for you when you get the update.
Bug
When changing
partTypein the overload menu, the part being edited vanishes. Other users reported the part vanishes when editing other things (likescale)Demo video
@winterro I agree that is irritating that it spews that message, but unfortunately that is coming from the Unity engine so there's nothing we can do to stop it. Believe me, I wish there was!
@TheCommentaryGuy What version of the Android OS are you using? After ensuring SimplePlanes has permission to access photos, also try restarting your device and see if that fixes the issue. If not, can you email your log file to us at games@jundroo.com? You will need to connect it to a PC and use Windows Explorer to find it here (or somewhere similar):
Internal shared storage\Android\data\com.jundroo.SimplePlanes\files\player.log.txtbug
“Setting linear velocity of a kinematic body is not supported” is spammed every time I join a multiplayer server.
Maybe add a command that limits the spam or disables it, it’s extremely irritating.
So mabey
@JAMIED2711 probably honestly you never what game devs do these days it’s confusing
@AndrewGarrison
Managed to fix it. Decided to try one last thing before emailing the log to you guys, basically wiped anything SP related from my computer and reinstalled... seems to have worked. I'll keep the email thing in mind though if I run into anything else. Thanks!
Bug
@AndrewGarrison there seems to be an issue with the Ai spawn point for Yeager final approach, Bandit final approach and Wright final approach. The Ai used to try land on to the runway, but in the new update the plane just flies around in circles or purposely crashes into a mountain. Is there a solution to resolve this?
@AndrewGarrison i did it but it still wont let me access it
bug
Pitch was moving on its in on mobile
Joystick isn't even moving
DEVS PLS FIX
@DeadlyDialga I can't reproduce this issue. After you experience the issue again, can your email your log file to us at games@jundroo.com? You can find it here
%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Player.log@TheCommentaryGuy You might need to give SimplePlanes permission to access your photos. Here are instructions.
Bug
I cannot open blueprint
@DeadlyDialga @Inuyasha8215 Andrew Meant
Bug
Not
#BugSP has perfectly completed its historical mission and brought us a highly flexible construction class game.
bug
The metallic and smoothness sliders are broken, and changing gloss/moving sliders doesn’t do anything. Color selection and the emission slider still work. Tried every fix under the sun short of uninstalling and reinstalling because I don’t want to lose everything. Checked if mods were interfering, restarted game and computer, verified files, etc etc.
Even tried changing to experimental but bug is persistent and affects all crafts across multiple versions. So can't even use the sliders in version 1.12.124.3 under the experimental. I don't even know if this is a problem with the beta or if there's something inherently wrong with my game to begin with, but I'm out of options and I have zero idea of what to do.
Edit: Dont know if this is useful info but running version 1.12.203.0
@AndrewGarrison
I have question, can we port SP build to SP2?
@Majakalona yes I looked through the files and it said in a folder “really secret stuff”
@Skyler101 true
@PilotAlex1010 wait are they actually making simplecars?
Bug
Different one
Sometimes UI stops working and you will have to restart the game
It happens when you crash or get one of your parts damaged
Specifically gunfire from Ai planes as well as missiles
Almost annoying bug
About the first bug I said before uhhh it’s wasn’t sp fault…
#bugfor some reason, some of my saved aircrafts are completely gone, then they all return back... Somehow.heh ill wait for the new Update on simpleplanes comes out since i cant even change my Simpleplanes app to the beta version
FINALLY TIME TO BE ALIVE
bug
Ai aircraft shoot a cannon once when it is on air to air, then stops working.
When should us IOS players receive this update?
@AndrewGarrison The Fine tuner and delete button bugs are fixed, thank you.
Antonov 225 amount of upvotes
Also when the update releases all beta required planes will be available as I can download beta planes without the beta and it will just gimme a pop-up saying that I need the beta for certain parts and the plane won't load
@PilotAlex1010 simplewheels 2 is coming?
@JuanShot2Go its in the switch
OMG BOYS WHERE GETTING SIMPLE CARS BE READY
@AndrewGarrison what new thing/game are you guys working on?
@titaniciceberg3 if it's the size of snowstone maybe but certain features may be removed or simplified such as the pyramid of ET Easter egg (it flies)
bug
Sometimes the game UI Stops working
And also I once got the game broken when I tried to edit a rudder it froze the game the selection thingies stopped working you can see it all here
i found out how to make big text
OH GOD THIS IS AMAZING
@titaniciceberg3 lol no
Will Maywar Island ever be added to mobile?
Hi, not sure if its a #bug or a decision to remove from the implementation but switch styles: "Flip", "Rocker" and "Pivot" do not appear in the designer.
bug
Changing part type can vaporize the part and cause mayhem if i add another part (I'm on mobile)
@AndrewGarrison will do
bug there is no huge changes in update
@AndrewGarrison it seems to be fixed, the designer does not crash anymore.
@winterro @ReturnOfJeffChandler This should be fixed in v1.12.103. If you have a chance, please let me know if Overload is working for you now.
Is it possible to implement the CameraAndDisplay mod into the game. Whether or not that's possible, can weapons and engines be given the ability to remain functional(they can still be used and operate normally) even if detached from the main aircraft? This would make building things like microfighters and other detachable aircraft easier. I've been meaning to ask for this for some time, and especially now since this is the last update. So please, at least implement the second of my two suggestions, both if possible, but at least the second.
@AndrewGarrison, bye you'll be sorely missed
@TinyMaus wait what if so let goooooo
if simpleplanes 2 does come out will it be on App Store?
bug
On the android beta, there is a lot more lag than before the update. and just really jumpy feeling(low frames). I'm on a Samsung galaxy s20Fe by the way.
bug
I know this was in previous versions but I just wanna point it out, when a critical part is hit on an aircraft the landing gear goes through the wing, and by critical parts I mean the cockpit, fuselage etc.
bug
I have noticed a more choppy framerate as I opened the game, even in the menu and designer. I have checked and all systems are fine, normally it runs without any choppy frames. Using Galaxy S10.
SAILING AWAY HE SAID SAILING AWAY WERE GONNA GET A SIMPLEBOATS
bug
Changing the part type doesn't seem to work properly and makes the part disappear entirely. The part is returned once you undo but it's quite annoying to deal with
Started playing this game back in primary school, now I'm tackling engineering in my first year of uni... My sincerest thanks to SimplePlanes for sparking everything. And rather than getting sad over the ending, I'm just smiling at the ride it's been. This game will always hold a special place... kthxbye
@Lawpark25 or just implement the smoke trails mod into the live game.
Is there any change that some features from Juno New Origins is gonna get added to Simpleplanes?
Like the newly released procedural wings or an actual functional light part
Tbh Simpleplanes having those small things would be amazing ngl.
Pls add cabbin lights or just proper lights
@keechmyth agree, its a bit bland if you have an aircraft that faster than the speed of sound, but no effect
add sound barrier in this game brah, i don't care if it doesn't have the cone.
@Sh0ckw4v While I really would like this as a feature, I think it could be difficult to implement in the way you describe, because the nature of SimplePlanes means that the game wouldn’t necessarily know what the actual “wing” is (i.e. if it’s covered by a fuselage or something like that), so instead I propose this: there should be a part that creates wingtip/vapor trails that originate at that part. This could have an effect like the tracers from the cannon part, for the ease of development, and could be customizable in the same ways (tracer length, color, and size). The only thing stopping someone from making a version of this with the existing cannon piece and some magnets is that the tracer cannot be turned on or off via Funkytrees, which stops this from being functional as environmental effects. If there was a part that produced a similar (or the same) trail that could be inputted by Funkytrees, players could manually put the trail piece on the edge of the wings of their creations (or anywhere else for that matter), and manually input when they want them to activate (at high AOA or low altitude, for instance). I think this piece would allow for greater levels of immersion, as well as open new possibilities for other usages, such as for smoke trails, fireworks, and manual damage effects. I’m no game dev, but I think this would be a healthy addition to the game without too much effort, as the cannon projectile tracer does most of the job already, lacking only the Funkytrees interactivity.
cool
@winterro the information section locks up, I can delete everything and the section stays the same
Will iOS get the desert map
Bug critical
Game sometimes softlocks your entire pc when trying to save or go to the parts list
@V after doing it, look into the information section of your airplane ingame
I know it's wishful thinking, but could we please get a trans/supersonic sound cue or something that acknowledges when we're performing high-speed/high-G maneuvers? Or at the least some condensation over the wings when traveling at a low enough altitude?
The sheer lack of interaction with the ambient environment is really hampering the experience on mobile, the building of aircraft is outstanding, but the actual flying leaves much to be desired.
@AndrewGarrison Can we Also Have Underwater cam and other mods installed please like fine tuner and overload please :-)
@winterro just tried it, doesn't crash for me but the part just ceases existence
@Liensis you want too much from the beta, there will be a release version then we'll see
Bug
Designer crashes when changing part style from Hemisphere-1 to Sphere-1
something that was possible before in overload
That it for a beta?
3 switches? Expected more from this huge hiatus SP got from the Dev Team.
bugdroo
bug
Propellers on the Blade T2000 offsets weirdly if you set prop pitch to anything other than 0. Try it out yourself; set pitch control to fixed and adjust neutral pitch.
@AndrewGarrison it just started working for me a few minutes ago but sadly I had to sacrifice my builds but that's okay, never hurts to start fresh
@AndrewGarrison its working now but there is a small bug after opening the game, the new "target fps" thing is set to
-1by default but changing it in the settings fixes the lag issuebug
Cannot change fuselage part XML properties in overload. I believe its the same for every part. Part disappears whenever I exit out of overload.
@Skykid028 What kind of device are you using and what version of the game do you have?
Wait for Flyout
“Just wait for Flyout” THEY SAID “it will release soon” THEY SAID
Please as a last update add
Maywar on mobile
Built it underwater camera mod
Ability to spawn friendly/Enemy/Default Ai instead of just Enemy and default (you cannot lock onto friendly AI and they help fight enemies)
A way to de-select weapons while in attack mode (to see how far you are from an airplane without locking onto it)
@AndrewGarrison, I’d be interested to test out the new beta of the update. I create cars so I’d be very interested to see how the new physics and technology effect what I build and how I can make them better.
What’s the invite code for mobile iOS ?
Bug There’s a bug were if you move you camera to much it will freeze I’ve only seen it on mobile
@AndrewGarrison it works now
@AndrewGarrison Ahh yup, it's fixed. Good job!
And thank you 😊
@AndrewGarrison when will the update be available on IOS? Also, Something cool to add could be an image uploader for nose art, camos, roundels, etc.
@LoneSpaceGaming ”Air alert!”
@AndrewGarrison I'm glad some of the bugs got fixed and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but mine still keeps crashing when I try to launch it, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still crashes 😪
@jamesPLANESii New build is out (v1.12.102) and we believe we fixed the issue with your crafts. We were all admiring your Miro today while troubleshooting that bug!
@44HH44 @GuianLorenzo @Aghsan22 New build is out, can you check and see if it is working on your Android device now?
@KenzarAircraft “Negative!”
bug
Low fps on mobile
Fps has been cut in half on mobile (I'm on android)
@LoneSpaceGaming ”Defend the A point”
@KenzarAircraft “Attack the D point!”
After this update on Android it's impossible to play it's crashing a lot please fix this
@LoneSpaceGaming ”Finaly! a hit!”
**” <— on both sides
@KenzarAircraft
“Negative!”
(I know how to do fonts, but not that one, could you tell me?)
I’m sad that Maywar isn’t coming to mobile. Would have been fun.
A surprise to be sure... But a welcome one.
@EternalDarkness how so? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and mine still isn't working
Unfortunately, this is a political problem, the fact is that I could not buy the game and naturally update it(
@EternalDarkness Okay, great to hear. Thanks!
@44HH44 @GuianLorenzo @Aghsan22 Okay, we were able to track down this issue causing the game to crash on startup on some Android devices. It appears to be a bug in the Unity game engine. The good news is that they are aware of the issue, but the bad news is that we'll need to wait for them to fix it.
@AndrewGarrison Samsung galaxy A02s (android 12)
bro add the under water in th game, also some vapor trail and reentry effects plsssssss
and the tank track too
@AndrewGarrison I have tried to track don the bugs I reported (Backspace not deleting parts and Fine Tuner being bricked), but the issues seem to have been resolved. Since there was a bit of downloading when I opened the game, I guess you patched it.
@AndrewGarrison
I'm using an android phone which is running
Android 11@44HH44 @GuianLorenzo @Aghsan22 What kind of device are you using?
@Hannyboy eh I'm fine with it actually.
@Kangy OnePlus 11
Bug
Some control bases which are in use as floppy rotators which previously worked fine no longer allow things to rotate.
I'm not really sure what's causing this, but the stick thingy on my bumper car no longer wobbles and the key ring on my Miro is stuck to the key and won't dangle. I will note though that on my Weka VR that I am currently building (Plz go to my latest unlisted as I don't want to share it yet) uses control bases as floppy rotators for the suspension and all of them seem to work perfectly fine.
Edit: The suspension on my Antonov AN-2 I'm currently working on (also unfinished, check page 2 of my unlisted builds for latest) is solid as a rock after the update. It worked beautifully before the update. This one is a more obvious bug.
.
As this still works with some builds, this bug will probably need some further digging to find the specific cause.
@Aghsan22 yea
Yep, the issue I was having before has been fixed! :D @AndrewGarrison
@GuianLorenzo I'm not the only one I guess
I know it said that this is probably the last update but
Please add a livery system so we can make and design our planes without the use of fuselage parts (using those can eat part counts).
And if you do, please make the livery system similar to fr legends, thx xD
How long does the Update get to my Simpleplanes
im on mobile
@V uhj
what device are you on?
im on ipoo 5th gen and it appears, same on ipone 8 gen
it was a feature of the last update - might not be on some devices i think
Suggestion
Can we update the gyro yaw angle lock bc it is hard to use only 2 axis lock
@Kangy that does not exist on mobile
(But can you send me your settings.xml with 120 target fps and anti aliasing?)
Я вважаю що потрібно додати гусиниці а також камери які можуть транслювати зображення в реальному часі на екрані але краще всього я вважаю буде мультиплеєр
@SheriffHackdogMCPE yeah that would be cool, especially display screens
#bugThe game fails to launch after the update (on android)
*EDIT: RE-INSTALLING THE GAMEDOESNT DO ANYTHING*#suggestionCan you plz add truck rims, steel rims, airline seats and display screens???? and let us add photos to builds for mobile? Thanks!
bug I downloaded the beta update and the game keeps crashing on launch #bug
@AndrewGarrison Any updates on these three #bugs yet? I'm really hoping that something's been found on the first one in particular, since it's been going on for so long and I reported it to Philip almost two years ago but haven't heard anything since then.
Edit: The Beast's wake seems to be fixed in the latest build, but the other two persist.
Damn shame, wish we could mod on Android still :/
rip
rip
@BaconEggs Thanks!
@AndrewGarrison my build works now
Add the photo sticker
@AndrewGarrison I downloaded the beta update and the game keeps crashing on launch #bug
@V opening menu > settings > target fps
@LoneSpaceGaming "You've got a right wing in your hole"
@KenzarAircraft
“You got a hole in your right wing!”
@AndrewGarrison if this is going to the last update we should do a challenge like each person designs a craft using stock parts record gameplay of them doing flight stunts and upload to YouTube can tag it in a post whoever gets the most points win. It can be like a virtual Air Show. To make it more spicy we can let ChatGPT set the rules. And points systems
@AndrewGarrison please one more, with real paint code and supersonic vapor cone (a peice) and yeah, there's a bug with the suspension, when you land on USS Beast with custom landing gear it bounce really hard and the peices start "wobbeling " and the shocks really bounce hard, they not act like oil shocks and coils spring would do on a fighter plane. Little details here but means a lot for the Replica builders, would be great to had some more shocks. By the way I'm playing your awesome gave since many years now and I always been looking for the next update, again and again, please dont stop this master peice I'm begging you 🥲
We need underwater camera for mobile
@Kangy how does one change it?
@V is your target fps set to 30?
@AndrewGarrison it seems to be fixed.
I’m going to do a side by side comparison later today just to see if there has been any flight performance changes.
#bugAndroid FPS locked at 30. (Or less, it's a slideshow right now. It's not my phone as I'm running on a OnePlus 11 with 16 gigs of ram.)
I will check using multiple phones once I get the chance.
Update v1.12.201 is now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. It fixes the weird rotation bug and Fine Tuner.
@Kangy @jamesPLANESii @BaconEggs @Ian_Yashima If you have the chance, can you verify the rotation bug is now fixed in your test case(s)? Thanks!
@AndrewGarrison why did you leave Simpleplanes tho?
@Randomplayer "Serves him right!"
@KenzarAircraft ”Returning to base!”
@Randomplayer "We've been hit!"
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT?????????????
@IAmMeObviously I also ran into that bug
@FloridianTrainMan I hope it’s something like this
Sad to see this absolute classic of a game to end in updates (other than small bug fixes). Let’s just hope some day they come back to this old beauty and bring us something new.
@Graingy ”Air Alert! Azimuth 270, the altitude is about 1500”
@Randomplayer "Attack the D Point!"
@Graingy ”Never!”
@Randomplayer "Gramercy!"
@Graingy “Affirmative!”
@AndrewGarrison I will investigate as soon as I get home. Backspace for deleting parts worked previously. Thank you for your time.
@Ian_Yashima Oh, so THAT'S how KSP reaction wheels work...
Honestly I think we need a [Target] tag at this point.
@FishbedFive sorry
@Ian_Yashima thanks, this should be fixed in the next update.
bug
a button connected to a rotator seems to always keep its direction in game, even able to affected the whole craft.
just like this S4WXd.gif 👈
@AndrewGarrison
and the same problem with the piston.
all moveable parts I guess.
@INeedANewName people who remember all time best category ❤️
@EternalDarkness @windshifter1 Thanks! I can't reproduce the delete part bug. Was the keyboard binding removed for Delete Selected Part? Do you have any error messages in the dev console when this happens? (You'll need to make sure the dev console is open before entering the designer otherwise it might not capture the error messages.)
This is worse than The German Corsair
Will the latest round of Unity fuggery have any detrimental effects on SP?
bug
@Sakorsky man gonna miss SP in the next few years 😭😭😭😭
Unless SP2 is out
bug
@AndrewGarrison
Hey uhh I got this goofy ahh bug that can pretty mush break the whole game by accident
You see, when you have a build that is complicated or buggy can result into the world being uhhhhh being launched into the air at the sound of speed (if you break the buggy creation ofc by intentionally crashing)
and if you wanna go to a location by teleporting uhhh the islands will be teleported to you as well as the Ai convoy, ships, bridges etc.
And then you can’t move the screen all you can do is to restart SP
ik I didn’t explain properly since I just recently found this bug
So expect me to comment again with an other bug report :p
Also, when new part?
i thought that ill die before a simpleplanes update releases
It seems here ends the game's long story. But I hope this isn't the end of the name SimplePlanes, not entirely.
bug
@AndrewGarrison
Its from the SP website
It takes FOREVER for the aircraft to be publishing and the upvote doesn't increase your points (upvote doesn't work)
@KenzarAircraft I didnt
bug when another plane shoots the uss beast, the beast's destroyers dont shoot that plane, but shoot me instead
What a sudden......it’s about 6 years since i joined simpleplanes.
Maybe before you leave the game to die
,let us have more customization? Like making cannons shoot rockets?
Preventbreaking on winches?
Input for weapons? Like throttle guns or cannons firing on activation groups?
Or benig Able to disable wobble?
Or integrating mods in the game like smoke trails?
Or MP?
Choose what sound comes out of what part? Imagine how annoying a jet with winch sounds would be.
Are we going to get mod support for Quest 2 in this final update? Ifeel thats the only thing missing from the quest 2 version.
Damn last update
@Randomplayer... you didn't need to ping me twice. I was talking about the joysticks.
@INeedANewName one can dream but i doubt it
@FishbedFive Go to the settings (not in flight) press on screen controls until it says “off” or “no”
@FishbedFive you can
@MrLoren18 its never coming you can thank google for that
Is it possible there will be an option in settings to remove UI in flight for mobile, so we can make images?
WE NEED GREATER COMPATIBILITY OF MODS WITH ANDROID PLEASEEEEEEEEE
If this is the last update one thing that will be cool to add is the wings visual overhaul from Juno new origins and more missions
Do you think you guys could remake the weapon sound effects? The cannons dont sound like any weapon and the guns just pop.
bug
When traction is at max and is bearing a load of 8k lbs, wheels vibrate
@INeedANewName I keep coming back to this post to look at it more :(
@INeedANewName hopefully
guys this is just the beta, I think that this is a meme, their gonna do a big secret update because this is just a beta not the real update!
BUG
In the mobile designer, when you zoom in too much, you can’t zoom back out and the designer flat out breaks
@L3thalPredator You said air-to-air.
Can i get it on mobile
Bro I’ve been playing this game for like 8 years please don’t let this be the end. Definitely my favorite mobile game ever, please add more or at least higher graphics settings for new IOS phones!!!!
@KenzarAircraft I'm basically saying I wanna shoot the ships and ice base from any range....
@L3thalPredator Any spawned by the game dissappear. If you spawned one yourself, it will be there forever.
@AndrewGarrison Since Juno new Origins has made great progress, I wanted to ask if a release on GOG is planned. Even though I realize that I probably won't get an answer, I would be happy to have it in my GOG library one day.
@AndrewGarrison please don't stop updating and add new item
@AndrewGarrison Please don't stop updating, we love this game!
Reeeeeeeeee
@AndrewGarrison Ha ha! This is great! And thank you for everything! Because these Jununo series games let me learn a lot! Andrew and the other producers! I love this series!
Is spin limit on rotator count as a bug
I hope there will be more maps on the phone 😍
@holme there is
bug
Planes go through terrain at 1400+ KM/h
@holme In the settings screen from the main menu (not the settings from within the level, but from the initial menu screen), there is a music volume slider along with other options.
@KenzarAircraft at around 13 miles, the targets disappear. On mobile at least
@WNP78 Being the funky tree master, is there any way we can get a variable for whether the player is locked by the enemy or not? It would be amazing to have it for modern aircraft radars, or maybe even automatic flare lanchers!
@KenzarAircraft how? I've set my range real high on missiles and don't change how far I can see them
bug
There's this bug that happens at random where whenever duplicating an object with "right-click and drag" it creates several more duplicates in the same position of the original object. Whenever this happens and the "create new build" button is used to clear the entire craft it leaves a purple "shadow" of the objects and sometimes other parts of the build that the original was attached to. The only way I figured to remove them was deleting them until they all disappear or exiting the designer. I'd really appreciate seeing this issue fixed.
@AndrewGarrison
Bug
In the beta release, the delete button, fine tuner and parts position editors do not work.
for those wondering why this update barely has anything new added:
simpleplanes is basically complete at this point. it has basically everything needed in the game, which, is likely one of the reasons on why the devs had stopped working on it for a while. really, there’s nothing else needed in SP. the only thing i can kind of see added is multiplayer maybe, but that would cost money (?) to operate. but, i can understand your guy’s excitement :D keep it up
bug
Deleting parts with backspace button doesn't work. Other keyboard inputs are working properly.
Fine Tuner mod is bricked. It doesn't move or rotate parts.
@Deeznutz1234 I have got a solution, but it is not perfect.
I made a bushplane with funky based ai
@winterro Simplecheats 2 doesn't have funky in it, instead, I linked the funkyguide in it.
@V so what was added in the funky department?
@V at every challenge it will happen that thing
still no feature to mute background music
Could we have a three position functionality for the switches?
@MobileBuilder21 If you consider how many years SP has been around for, then you might find it already surpassed many other games in terms of development. SP is not dependent on an active server except for the forum, so players may continue. For any computer software, the development cycle needs to come to an end. Especially, working on ancient architecture is far less efficient than making something newer and better. That appears to be same between MSFS 2020 and 2024. So I am optimistic about the project anyways.
@AndrewGarrison pls fix AI so they cant be stupid and go crashing randomly on water when i do dogfighting with them🙏
#bug: The vertical supports on the Krakabloa bridges stop reflecting on the water when the bridges are destroyed.#bug: The USS Beast's blueish wake effects are rendered too visibly (perhaps multiple times over?) and become extremely laggy to look directly at. It's also much larger than before, and appears distorted. Here's an image.@INeedANewName if I asked you to build an airliner with full functionality, VR cockpit and interior, instead of cars which are what you like, for 1 year straight, would you want to? No, right? Same philosophy applies here.
Devs are humans too. You can’t be passionate about a single thing forever. Eventually, your interest will shift to something else. If they want to stop working on SP and instead make something that they have much more passion in, so be it! You don’t need to tell them what they want to do!
Beyond being a game, SimplePlanes paired with SimplePlanes VR is an affordable tool for developing proof of concepts. I can’t think of anything comparable in its price range.
It is also impressive that certain features (especially looking at the helicopter system and its variables) aren’t seen in any other flight simulator sold as a game.
Would Jundroo consider selling SimplePlanes? Or does it plan on holding it?
I can garuntee to all the mobile users that the new switch types and lever types are amazing! Exactly what I have always wanted - this will improve the realism of cockpits. Bit sad this is the last update though. Not to worry, this was a wonderful game and I will continue to play it with the same vigour. I hope others will feel the same. Who knows, maybe down the track Jundroo will remember us again and send us a little update, or even better, make SimplePlanes 2!
It is happening...
The update...
@MobileBuilder21 this is the worst thing that could have happened to us.
Everyone remove your upvotes to disagree
@StockPlanesRemastered we can already make those, it would be useless to add them.
@StockPlanesRemastered it would be more stupid if it were added
@AndrewGarrison
@PhilipTarpley
@WNP78
bug
For some reason it won’t let me post videos on SP, no matter what, it just tells me “someone will see it eventually”, but it’s been 3 weeks
bug
@AndrewGarrison you posted twice bro
sp 2 ?
So are we not getting glass solid/hollow nose cone? Because I feel like at this point it's stupid that those haven't been added
SP2?
@MobileBuilder21 I LOVE OVERREACTING!!!
@Transair56 pls don’t spam devs
@Stanmich that was a example dumbass
@AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison @AndrewGarrison
o no
@formulaguyy did u tie rocks to a balloon
Not a bug, and I am well aware of the horde below me. But I think this will help a lot with props.
pitchAnglefor props should be an output variable that can be tracked. This would be of great assistance because right now, if a prop is in auto mode you have no idea what angle the blades are, which makes it hard to make variable angle props which are present on many aircraft.This one little detail would make props much easier to work with, as everything about them is weird.
Also if they (props) could rotate with their base, so that things like starter motors can be made realistic.
That is all I have
Also yeah the
bugregarding rotational inertia is a real killer. A lot of builds don’t work now.Thank you Jundroo for all the years. Played since ~ a week after iOS launch on my iPad 4 and the game has always remained a part of my life ever since.
And yes it will continue to be in the foreseeable future
bug my plane cant move it just floats and only goes up and down like a rock tied to balloons fix this
@MobileBuilder21 Refer to this comment.
Why did you stop tho?
Why are people upvoting this I mean he basicly just said 'Were leaving simpleplanes for good and you will have to, too.' I come to this conclusion because no more updates means SP will suffer heat death as the game becomes older and older and fly out becomes more and more popular. So in a quite literal since when he wrote this he should have just wrote "Goodbye Simpleplanes" as he talks a lathered up speech about how "Juno: New Origins is taking the icing, SP is un-important and were going to have to just suck it up". And if he just wanted to get to the truth, (truth as in what there doing to the game) then he should have just said "Sorry Everyone" then said "were going to be leaving, we advise you do the same for your own sake" what im trying to say is if you like Simpleplanes, and love to play the game and interact with the fun and loving community, then DO NOT, Upvote this Blog Post in fact it is probly best for you to remove your Upvotes and not to praise the Beta Bug Patch because in the end, if your make Andrew think this is a acceptable thing to do, a bug patch will be the last thing you remember as your hard work and countless hours playing a game that you so loved up and fades away into the preverbial heat death of the Steam Workshop and Google Play and as the last player removes SP from their device.
Hello devs,
Here are my bug reports and some feature suggestions.
#Bug
The wheel's "Offroad" variable output doesn't work.
When we build the aircraft with custom landing gears made with shocks and pistons, the gear often starts to twitch when the plane is moving on the ground, or when something detached from the plane, or when the game is in low physics mode. I know this is an old bug and might be solved by editing the XML, but I still hope you can do something to make it less likely to happen.
Any possibility of optimizing the game performance? I have Juno: New Origins also installed, the average FPS is higher than SP even running with the large part count and higher graphics. The computer starts to heat very fast once I run SP but not very often for Juno.
#Feature suggestions
Could you please add more nozzle styles for the "Blasto BFE150" engine? Because most planes we made are not stealthy, it's wired to have a replica plane from last century having a stealthy nozzle. Also, the nozzle should open to maximum when the afterburner is engaged. It would be nice to be able to configure the nozzle position based on the throttle input.
Can we have a funky tree variable that tells us whether the player's plane is locked by radar? That would be really useful for creating realistic radar warning displays.
For the missiles, is it possible to add a selection box so that we can configure the missile function and the guidance mode by ourselves (Active/Simi-Active/Infrared)? It would be even better if we could customize the missile shapes.
Can the trigger of the gun be controlled by the funky tree variables? In this way, we can create turrets that automatically fire in certain conditions. It would be even better if you could add a slider to adjust the gun's ammo from 1 to infinite (and be able to reload).
Is it possible to have 2 or more AI enemies in the dogfight mode? Or AI allies? Also, can we have an option to choose the altitude or the airport to spawn the planes in dogfight mode?
It would be cool if the beacon light and the formation light part could cast light on objects and have more styles to choose from.
Any possibility of manually configuring the brake input for the wheels? In this way, we can have differential brakes for jets and realistic drifting cars.
Better engine, weapon, and environment sounds.
Make the ejection seat able to eject and add a simple pilot body part.
For the graphics, is it possible to add the photo mode so that shadows are always rendered at the max level no matter the camera distance so that we can take good photos or record nice videos?
and.....any possibility for TrackIR support?
Thank you for reading my long list. I would appreciate it if you could make anything from this list come true.
Good luck with future projects,
Whills.
@L3thalPredator Infinite range for air-to-air is already in the game.
I think they need to set simpleplanes to 50% off everywhere so we get new players.
@WinsWings Andrew destroy WinsWings
@Graingy kill icers!
bug
The beta appears to have broken the Fine Tuner mod.
My anti-virus went crazy for a moment when I launched the Beta, But works fine for now...
@Graingy S T O P !!! the ice base is my playground with so many hidden gems
@Randomplayer O7
@Hahahahaahahshs Wow such incredible enthusiasm
@AshdenpawTG22 Andrew destroy Ice Base
@Graingy yez
@BENZAHEER they can't. It's the mobile terms and conditions. They can only update the game. External things can't be downloaded anymore
@WinsWings absolutely. Main thing I struggle with is making wings. A cool feature could be pasting in a real airfoil type and it auto generates to fit the shape. Then you can morph it like you currently can. That'd be sick! But you could also keep the blocky looms by just not putting an airfoil code in. Cause building custom wings with fuselages, to make good looking ones can take upwards of 50+ parts per wing to make it look good. Whereas this system would take those 50+ parts and condense it to less than 5
Bug
Idk if it's considered a bug but
Could you allow for unlimited ranging like in the dog fight mode? But in sandbox? It's a little annoying that max range on sandbox is 12miles. That should be a easy feature to add.
It would be much better if we got
- real-looking wings - ready to use
- a few more cockpits, (including separated front and back cockpits)
- more landing gear choices
Thanks for the updates though
please bring back modding for android
@AndrewGarrison like a fire simpleplanes has burnt bright and for long, but also like a fire simpleplanes will simmer and die out
@AndrewGarrison please make a game called simple cars. It’s all about cars please like old cars new cars same thing with SimplePlanes but cars it would be awesome.
@HuskyDynamics01 ik it’s not a bug it’s a joke lol. I hate them but not saying we remove them
@ChipityChap that’s just god.
@AndrewGarrison you mentioned "Unity 2022.3.9"
does that mean mobile modding?
@ChipityChap no it's the realm of simpleheaven
bug At the edges of the map there is a blue light.
bug
When a part is very small (like 0.0625 or smaller) the connection arrow would be so cluttered that it's almost not possible to select the side of connection
@AndrewGarrison Can I get BETA if I downloaded it from GOG.com?
Or only from steam?
bug
No input option for wheels brakes.
bug
When racing against an AI opponent, the game may randomly disqualify it for touching water even though it has not touched water
Not really a
#bug(yea it's not a bug, shoot me.) but something that has bothered me for years and the change should only be swapping a few lines of code depending on how it's structured:.
In the part connection editor, clicking on a part in the selector should reveal what is connected to, and holding on the part in the selector should select the part. Right now it is currently reversed and it doesn't make any intuitive sense.
WHAT
Now I really gotta update simplecheats...
Just a note, since this is the final update for SP as we know for now, SimpleCheats II will become deprecated once it is updated for the latest update. If someone else wishes to carry the torch of simplecheats II, they can Ctrl C Ctrl V the whole thing into a Google document and continue where I left off.
bug
A display that can project camera images is also a feature we want
Although this is not a bug,But it is still a function that we need now,I just hope you can add this important option to the last function,He can't be replaced by other parts,At the same time, we also hope to get the variables of missile position and missile warning,This is very helpful for some active defense systems,If we can add another speaker, I believe its sound effect will bring us more ways to play
bug
When the shaft and spring are used too much in a certain structure, their connection will become very soft,This is a long-standing problem,He had a great influence on the shaping of the structure.We don't know if this is deliberate, but it's clear that the impact is negative
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes Sorry, I'm not starting drama, but telling others to be careful and avoid him, he is a site poison.
When compared to Bogdanx, XEP is much rougher and more painful, at least you know.
@Superliner350 I totally agree. This should be pinned.
@HuskyDynamics01 they just want attention so that their feature requests will be seen
@Superliner350 I mean, you’re not wrong, but this just doesn’t seem like the right place to start SP drama…
Y'all, I'm not a moderator but I'm saying this anyway since it apparently needs to be said.
A FEATURE REQUEST IS NOT A BUG. An intended gameplay feature that you don't like (i.e. the Ice Base lasers) is also not a bug.
A bug is a behavior that is both unintentional and causes something about the game to work incorrectly.
Please don't fill up the list of bug reports with things that are not bugs. This is not the appropriate place for feature requests, and all you're doing is making it more difficult for the devs to actually find things that need to be fixed.
@AshdenpawTG22but what makes me sad is that this is the last version of SimplePlanes…:P it have became history…
Guys, be careful with the guy named XEP, he is a destructive site toxic.
He has insulted players over a thousand times during his existence, with his hurtful dirty words, he does not deserve to be in this community!
Ps: pin this comment, so people can see.
Bug
In crosswind landing challenge there's an bug you see a hit water on screen in just a few seconds even without touching the water
I wonder how many vehicles of actual creators got ruined at least a little bit by this update
(Edit: I mean people that actually put more effort in their buildings than me who basically just made modifications to things.)
Well it was a good ride in my almost 4 years of simpleplanes hope simpleplanes 2 or whatever is next is good thanks for making a game that I basically can't live without
Can’t wait to put these new lever variants into my future car models!
ITS TIME
bug
The lasers at the ice base exist. It makes me sad
bug
hinges make the every part of aircraft extremely floppy then putting them between the cockpit and aircraft.
removing the hinge makes it stiff again
Sucks this will be the last major update but im excited to see whats next! I wish you all the luck in getting it out soon so people can stop endlessly ranting about stuff thats not going to happen 😂
Also That's More Like Bug Fix, Or Smth, Isn't Really A Major Update 😐
Also Torpedo Bug!
Damn, We Have Better Missiles, My Suggestion Added!
@AndrewGarrison 👀
I have a lot of projects requiring Screens and monitor and i haven't posted any of those clogged projects out of the drain , the mod support for android again is a good news for me , now i'll be awaiting for someone to integrate a NIGHT VISION/THERMAL camera monitor mod for the game for a total immersion . Best of luck is if the future update is now being carried by community modders and moderators on behalf of you're time since you'll be focusing on other projects besides SP.
bug
This is the last update.
@WNP78 so .... It simple words android can NOW HAVE MOD SUPPORT AGAIN ?
i have a lot of projects requiring camera and a screen .
@AndrewGarrison
Bug
Please fix this bug, it's very annoying and happens a lot on Android
bug
The radial engine disappears and only the propeller remains in the designer
Let's hope for a sequel
Hooray
Hi I have a question after the last update is this have affect on the simpleplane website? Thanks!
Can you add another monitor that can project the camera image?@AndrewGarrison
bug
Theres a certain issue when I exit the game and reload it back my fusalage isn't aligned with the cockpit anymore.
Which is a very annoying problem to fix.photo link
Yay
Big update when
@Valiant2017 that's the point, there was a bug in the mod tools that prevented you from starting a project if you didn't have android build support installed, which obviously isn't needed anymore.
just left the game with bugs lol
sad to hear there would be no more updates for sp.
@RYAviation 9 years is pretty long in game terms
Damn…. That hurts to see.
@AndrewGarrison can you please port customisable jet engines from SR before leaving the game with no more updates? )
bug
Unable to change brake input on resizable wheel/landing gear (PLS make that an input variable i need that asap <3)
The next question is when will be the last ever major update?
You can't put mods on Android anyway?
We need optimization and open game for Russian l have texno pova 4 13gb and when l download 1000+ parts planes l have 50 fps
Welp my heart is broken💔 rip simple planes gone too soon
man so its coming to an end? this game was so fun except for the parts where i crash, blow up, funky trees but i wish i could see the beta
damn, I'm 20 years old now, started playing this game when I was 13, and now it's over.
but actually no !
it's really sad to see this game come to an end, yeah it's the last update, and the player base will slowly get thinner and thinner from now on.
but we will never let this game die, we complain a lot but we already have everything we need, we can literally build anything ! a lot of random players ask for more weapons, engines, screens and stuff but...we can build all that stuff, and it is somehow the fun part of that game, we don't have much to do once we finished our builds, so guys, keep enjoying what this game has to offer to us : the ultimate building experience.
Fixed bug where propellers/helicopter rotors don't break off when rotation is reversed
YOU ARE MY HERO
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes oh yeah,...... man this is so sad
@GUEVANAERONAUTICS read the top of the post…
#bugi am really not sure how to explain this one manBug
Im on a mobile device, my issue is that ive discovered that no cammands are accepted in my devconsole. I've tried re-installing the game multiple times but it just shows an error that my commands cannot be accepted.. this used work well before..
Bug
Rotational inirtia on many builds is INSANELY overpowered causing builds to be unable to change direction
Here is a list of builds with this bug:
Miro
103 Solo
Duo Discus
Kea
Cessna 182 (This one seems to move a bit on the roll axis though so I suspect it's an individual assembly on a rotator somewhere...)
Takahe
Okay this affects way more builds than I expected...
Video link 1
Video link 2
small changes, large step forward.
this is not a bug report but i want to suggest some features to this game.
.
come on.....
Everyone saying simple planes gone but I think it’s going to evolve to a better version like simple rocket it went from a 2D game to a massive 3D rocket game where you could do anything so I believe that will happen to simple planes imagine simple planes running on Juno new origins graphics
PS it's been 9 years and mobile devices have vastly improved in computing power. You ain't making any more updates to this game and thus I think it's about time you add Maywar and the other islands and easter eggs to mobile.
Feedback (I guess)
Not really a bug report, but I have some suggestions to do with the new features and some other things I think needed to be fleshed out before this game is left without another update.
.
First off, is it possible to interchange the bases and handles of the new levers? I really want the handle of Lever 3 but the base of Lever Lever 2, and the base of Lever 4 with the handle of the regular lever. If not, I REALL REALLY think you guys need to add this.
.
I think the different parts of the lever need to be individually scalable too. Sometimes levers can look like they are super stumpy with gigantic holders when used in some applications. And vise versa. Plus making the base hidable needs to be a thing too.
.
There needs to be another interaction type for buttons that basically works like a
suminput so that we can use seperate buttons to gradually adjust inputs like Trim and VTOL. A real life example of where this would be useful is the buttons to raise and lower the flaps on the Antonov AN-2. You have one button you hold to lower the flaps, and one that raises them. Currently, the only way to make this input in SP is setting the flaps to something other than VTOL and using asmoothinput to make them move. But the buttons for the flaps on an AN-2 are in very weird places and most people won't be able to find them. If we had asuminteraction type, we could make this type of input and it will still work with stock inputs. There's also a ton of other applications for this interaction type and I think it would be really nice of this were added..
I also have an idea that would make Overload A TON more user friendly that needs to happen befre this game is left alone. I think drop down menus need to be added to it. Currently Overload requres internet guides and knowing how to spell correctly to fully utilise it. If we had drop down menus, we could way more easily add new codes that aren't visible normally (e.g.
disableBaseMeshfor rotators), and also show available options for other attributes. This would make life so much easier..
arite thats all now ill get back to you if i find any bugs.
bug
Not sure exactly what causes it but sometimes my camera is locked in position both in the designer and in test flight with either the chase or orbit camera.
If it helps, I found the way to fix it is by either clicking restart on test flight or play in the designer.
Never thought that you would be,
Standing here so close to me.
There's so much I think I should say.
But words can wait, until some other day.
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice, then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Never felt like this my dear since can't remember when.
It's been a long, long time!
You never know how many dreams I dream about you.
And just how empty they all seem without you.
So, kiss me one and kiss me twice and kiss me once again...
It's been a long, long time!
Fly well, SimplePlanes.
2014 - 2023
@AndrewGarrison
Looking forward to the next update..
bug
When the glass parts break, wings loses lift.
Blud was definitely cooking up something
@realSavageMan chaos in script base
Our lord and savior Andrew has blessed us with a minor update, huzzah! 🙏 🤲
@L3FT2R1GHT means that you get to try the prototype update out before the devs actually release the update
#bug(these 2 below have been around for a bit now (before this update))1. In all races in the 'Races' section on iOS, no AI opponent spawns, ever. Could you please fix this if this is a bug?
2. On the Yeager Airport east runway, around the taxiways, if you moving are in a ground vehicle, and you drive over a specific spot, you'll be launched into the air, like there's an invisible bump. I'm sure that this is a bug, can you please fix?
Thanks
In the designer, if you place a switch and then cycle through the different types, the position of the "basic" switch changes from Off (when first placed) to an impossible "center" position (after cycling through the options). Not sure if this is a #bug or if it's just kind of how it is.
nice
Finaly
Chat is this real?
Finally sp has an update!!
After playing the new beta…
Sp is officially on its deathbed.
bug not really a bug but could you add monitors if u decide you were wrong again and updated it again. thanks
Also, an EOL announcement on Steam would be good for the folks who don't frequent the website, so they know what the situation is.
bug
Maybe add some more weapons or something idk. More weapons would be nice tho like adding some interceptor missiles that look like AIM-54s and some more variety of cannon ammo like armor peircing were it would damage a fuselage piece but would go through the block instead of blow it up, also some more advanced rocket settings like we have for the cannons.
BIGGEST GASP OF MY LIFE
Flipping back and forth between WOO an update :D and NOO the last update D: (these new lever and switch variants are awesome though guys!)
Related, is there any hope of a fix for the water visual #bug that I reported to @PhilipTarpley in October 2021 (occurs when the view is moved close to the water, and I suspect it to be related to AMD hardware)? Last I heard it still hadn't been tracked down.
bug
Please ad Maywar to mobile so IOS users can finally get it because we can’t use mods.
That’s my only request.
Actually just one more thing I think tank tracks as an actual feature rather than a pc only mod would be awesome but I guess that’s probably a difficult thing to ad so more of a hope than a request, sadly.
@Emma159 All the more reason to keep firing on them then.
@ShinyGemsBro If it isn't mentioned in this post then it's probably not going to get fixed.
Will the AI kamikazes be fixed though
@AndrewGarrison just a question, what exactly does beta mean?
A beta? Don't mind if i do!
edit: they fixed the SAM missile terrain issues? this is huge.
@maddogfike @MADDOGLUCAS @MobileBuilder21 The post literally says they are not adding any more features to SimplePlanes. Asking for updates will get you nowhere.
@MADDOGLUCAS you can get an Android version of Maywar here.
@INeedANewName you can call J:NO the sequel to SimplePlanes. It does have quite a number of aircraft-related parts such as custom airfoils and prop engines (but it doesn’t have fuselage slicing and weapons yet).
SimplePlanes is, as its name suggests, simple, in that a builder with absolutely zero experience can follow the 5-minute tutorial and make planes out of blocks. The game will stay this way; simple, and easy to understand.
J:NO is for experienced builders who want to make advanced crafts, which is why you see more features, but a steeper learning curve.
@AndrewGarrison can you update the airport and add new airports. Thank you. Awesome game
Damn my suggestion about someone making a timeline is WAAYYY more relevant now.
Oof.
@Randomplayer
You tagged me...
Comrade...
(no homo tho)
(っ °Д °;)っ
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
YES!
@IzzyIA am I a good builder?
Awesome!
@AndrewGarrison am I a good builder?
@MobileBuilder21 THIS
End of an era.
bug
@AndrewGarrison
Whenever I press the menu button or Activation group bar - AA, AG, 1-8, Landing Gear (in-game) and it is still not 100% loaded, or still has lag, it freezes and forces me to reset game.
bug PLEASE ADD MAYWAR TO MOBILE BEFORE ITS THE END OR AT LEAST AS AN OPTIONS
@AndrewGarrison Any word on the MAC version?
.
"The beta is currently only available for SimplePlanes and SimplePlanes VR on Steam. We plan to roll it out to mobile late this week / early next week."
From being 11, to almost being 20 now, I remember this game and have played it every single day and enjoyed every single moment with all of you. I must say, even through all the drama, the light hearted wars (a.k.a. the Worm Wars), and all the other stuff, I honestly can't imagine another game or experience I'd trade this for. I wish to thank all the devs for this amazing experience that you have presented us, and hope we have given you an equally amazing experience as well. Thank you all, truly. This isn't a leaving message, but I thought it would be a good time. Mr. Garrison and the rest of the dev team, thank you.
@AndrewGarrison when is it going on TestFlight?
it's unity 2022 now....
LESS GOOOO
Sad that it's all coming to an end, I've played this game for quite a while and seen a lot of new developments as time went on.
bug
If there is no "cockpit" camera (appears after flyby view) available, using the "previous view" input does not loop continuously. I'm not sure how else to explain it. For example, let's say I have a craft with no custom cameras at all, and the cockpit camera (on the primary cockpit part) set to "disabled". If I press "C", I can continuously cycle through all views forever. However, if I use the keybind "Shift + C" (or any custom ones, like the back side button on my mouse), I get stuck at chase view. If I then enable the cockpit camera or add a custom camera (basically adding a cockpit view camera position), I can cycle backwards continuously.
To sum up the paragraph above,
if there is no default cockpit view, the previous camera input will stop at chase view.bug
If a part outputting to a variable (such as a shock) is destroyed, a bunch of null reference exceptions (
NullReferenceException) appear in the debug console. I'm not sure what exactly triggers this as it only happens sometimes. I have a specific plane this happens on (I've seen it on other crafts as well) which I can tag you on if required.Before everything ends?
I still miss the preventbreaking variable for winches, then I am at peace
For benig an airplane game, I do miss the presence of a sonic boom
@PriusCat this bug happens when too mutch aircraft are saved
add keneth to simplelanes
@AndrewGarrison If SP does have a update (in the form of SP2) I would like to see a map update and graphics overhaul (like where it looks like WT type graphics, the green blobs for land just look corny, mods like @Kennneth 's with real looking terrain, ocean, destruction, sound, visuals like heat glaze,and afterburner.), also more functional big and small islands (mabye even like refueling on land), and more engines (like a post stall vector engine like on the SU-57) or like on the F-35, more fuselage parts we got 0 sided and 4 sided, we need more, 3,5,6 and maybe 7 sided blocks, and fuselage curving (a percentage of smoving out, like how slicing and thickness works, only less smoothing is hard edges and like 0%, but max you can't even tell there separate blocks with it just being 100% smoothing, this would be all round usefull for a 737-Max or 5-6 gen jet. (and interior, more interior VR parts like a GPS, Alarm?, and maybe even a person that goes in a seat that can move its hands), and mabye idk about it but Multiplayer (it would be like Minecraft where you press play game and it gives you a sandbox or multiplayer server and in SP's case challenges to) also the home screen needs to go, it just looks like baby blue with random cotton clouds, windows 98 looks better (maybe like in game action Gif's, of like the bush plane landing in a mountain area, a race car racing around a car track, and a fighter jet/stunt plane doing cool maneuvers would be better.
Cool
@AndrewGarrison So no SP2, or SP2 with a cool name?
hey they fixed the torpedo bug i saw a few days ago when playing
we all move on someday, but hey, SimplePlanes is still a really great game. respect to the devs and the people who work at Jundroo
@VeroViper Same here, my last hope is sp2 or idk.
Quite sad.
I have so much hopes for this game.
bug
When I play on mobile the Load Aircraft bar doesn't load aircraft names for me. its been like this for me for about a year now and it makes it very difficult to choose a built without having to search for it.
@realSavageMan congratulations on 400k.
Last update ever on SP? Aww I’m sorry to hear that. I’m by no means an expert on game development but what is the reason for that, in the simplest language possible? I feel this game still has so much potential if it weren’t based on an outdated unity platform (sorry for any terminology error). Monetize some creations might work too…
Good luck with the next project
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes This is true, and I understand That this game is old but man time sure does fly by. I've spent so much time on this game It's strange to see it finally mature. But just because the game won't be getting anymore major updates doesn't mean the game is dead. I'll make sure to stick around!
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes this dose mean that if they make a simpleplanes 2 that it will make money.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes life sucks.
@PriusCat all good things come to an end.
Halting updates usually signifies 2 things:
1. the game is mature enough, most of the intended features have already been implemented and there aren’t many more bugs, so there isn’t a need for updates
2. The limits of the old codebase have been reached, so major new features aren’t possible
3. we’ve reached a point where spending time working on more updates is no longer profitable for the devs; look at how we’re getting all these updates free, while the devs aren’t making any money from these updates.
Oh yea yea we are good for sure and I can get it to all the people that I don’t know if you need me too and @RepublicOfCursedPlanes
@Walvis my bad
Oof, last update? I knew this day would come but man it kinda hurts. I've been playing this game for a good chunk of my highschool years and I have fond memories of how excited I used to get seeing new updates come out. I wish you and the team good luck on your next project!
@DEADSHOT16 rip
@Walvis i did
Last update for simpleplanes it says. R.I.P
this is huge let's go
LETSSS GOOOO
the carer spited blue
Finally the torpedo propeller thing is going to be fixed lol
Definitely going to check this out soon
#bug
the carrier spits out blue
#questionwill we get to edit the fuelConsumptionRate of engines in this update?Ok this is cool but who took my ketchup?
#questiondoes the switch part with the pivot style have an xml attribute to stop the animation/rotation of the part? the whole purpose of these types of switches is to select more than two options, and there is a way to make it do that with a little bit of ft (i could work around the rotation but i just want to know if this is a thing. thanks)yeayeayea
OMG SIMPELPLANES GOT AN UPDATE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 17 CENTRUES
I HAVE WITNESSED AN UPDATE
bug
sometimes when writing code in a label it disappears, then reappears after starting and working.
bug sometimes in camera views the view can lock and you are unable to move the camera and look around
@Andrewgarrison You have got to realize what a loyal player base you have. The first update in a year, everyone is going to be super happy. It's the last update, but some of us want more. Have you ever considered selling the game to another company that does want to keep updating it?
@INeedANewName oof
the variation in lever/switch models is a really nice addition, im also really glad to hear compiling a mod of a small terrain chunk and a windsock wont be 1.6gb anymore
@Randomplayer yes but it’s the last update.
no way
@Graingy
Am freaking out guys
Andrew, thank you.
@AndrewGarrison
УРААААААААААААААААААААААА!!!YES
Where is the thing where the parts act different when shot at, it’s still not in the game
Everyone be bussin when new SP update comes out
To be honest I red that this is their last update, so simpleplanes 2 it is.
I kinda wish you guys gave us actual holographic gunsights, but oh well, this is good.
@Robson99 shhhhhh we got a update, don’t push it.
@Pan agreed, this dropped out of no where and I wasn’t ready.
Will SimplePlanes 2 come?

ios?
YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@AndrewGarrison good to see an update!
"from here on out, simpleplanes development shall be passed on to the modder community"
Please add a new location that is USS Nimitz or Nemesis and you can pick whatever name you want for it and it's a researchable location and it is pretty close to USS beast
SimplePlanes Nation, rejoice! our savior Andrew Garrison has provided us with dinner.
For a moment I thought this was a late April fools joke lmao
Oh my god the new switch types are gonna be SO USEFUL!!!
Edit: the new switches and levers are just aestetic. I was expecting different interaction types. Kinda disapointing :/
It do be thy funny beta test now
sike, you thought
(fr this time though)
