Bug thread for v1.12.128 (current version)

Dev PhilipTarpley  1.3 years ago

This is the place for people to report bugs/issues related to the following main updates, and subsequent hotfix updates (bringing it up to the current version of v1.12.128):

Most relevant release notes:
v1.12.123, v1.12.120/121

Next Release Timing: TBD

Notes:

  1. We won't respond to most reports, but that doesn't mean it has gone unnoticed. Every report will be seen, even if it doesn't have a direct response.
  2. It is extremely helpful to us if you could upload a simplified version of a craft which shows off the issue that you're having, as well as describing the bug in relative detail to help us track it down/fix it faster.
  3. We may remove comments which are not directly related to bugs/feedback/etc. (including our own). It isn't because they're breaking any rules, or anything. It would just be to help keep this thread more organized, which also helps us investigate the issues more efficiently.

Thanks for helping us make SimplePlanes better :)

    So there is this weird thing happening where when we I click on an aircraft on the website, it brings me to a white screen. Really weird, just started today.

    @Palliumindustries I can't speak for the company, but I will say that you're not exactly the first person to mention that here. I personally think people that think we should just copy over or inspire features from flyout are missing a few key points, first of which being that making our game into another game that already exists is a terrible business strategy. The other thing I think that happens a lot is people make the false assumption that "if [game x] gains n users, [game y] will lose n users!" which isn't true at a scale like this. Playing a game isn't an exclusive contract and very few people just play one game all the time. If anything, increased interest in the genre is good for us, and the chance of Flyout "replacing" SP is approximately zero because it's a PC only game, which SP is not. This reasoning is backed up by the fact that the massively popular Kerbal Space Program and its AAA-backed successor KSP 2 has yet to kill Juno: New Origins. More people interested in engineering and aerospace? Cool. That's what we make games about. Also, this is the bug report post, not for suggestions. The forums are for those.

    Not a bug report, just a suggestion from a user. I would strongly suggest looking at the new game called "Flyout" for ideas on new features to add to this game. Flyout is a lot more user friendly and has more features for the customization of fuselages, engines, and wings. As a member of this community, i strongly feel that if lessons are not learned from your competition, you will lose a drastic amount of users in a relatively short amount of time after the release of "Flyout".

    Bug: Orbit camera "Is Active" input doesn't work


    Steps to reproduce:
    1. put an orbit camera with "Is active" any variable you name it
    2. put a beacon light with "Is active" variable as input


    Expected result: light on when on that orbit camera
    Actual result: light still off, input not working

    When I make a submarine and I put missiles in it where they are resistant to water meaning if the touch water they still work but even with that they disappear under a certain depth.

    This has been happening for a long time for me, usually i just ignore it but figured i should bring it up at some point. Occasionally when I spawn an aircraft it will spawn with throttle permanently raised to 100%, and if i decrease it with Brake it will run back up to 100 upon brake release. Also (but less often) sometimes i will spawn and be completely unable to raise the throttle. I've tested all various control platforms and it happens to all of them.

    @Kiwiki That's likely a physics settings issue.
    Certain builds (especially builds that rely heavily on a certain physics setting) don't work well outside of their original physics quality.

    Hello! If I click in SimplePlanes the button 'Download Planes', it redirects me to your site. I uploaded a plane. I click 'Open with SimplePlanes' button from my PC, and the game opens. The problem is that the upload bar stays stuck at 0% uploaded. It won't upload the plane. I tried several times, with all sorts of planes, but it doesn't work at all. Can you do something about this? Thank you!

    Okay, here we go, I’ve never had to explain this to the devs because I thought that I could find ways around must bug problems but I guess this one is pretty out of my reach and oddly not very many people had this problem, although some do.

    For me this started happening somewhere after update 1.8 when the iOS control joystick for mainly pitch would act like I was no longer touching the screen and would go back to its resting position in the center of the circle. I did everything possible as a player to figure this out, I showed this to my step dad who has years of experience on electronics and he said it was most likely a glitch or bug in the game rather than my iPad in general, i have a forum about it where you can actually see the bug in progress, it’s made it nearly unplayable for me, hope someone can check this out.

    I had to delete the game and redownload it which didn’t do anything. I lost a lot of sun assemblies, now I don’t know what to do.

    I have a iPad Air 4th Generation by the way, brand new.

    Hello, I'm have a problem: The rotator hinge suddenly disconnected.


    Imma working on the turret of the tank and attaching the hinges to raise the barrel. initially connected, but when I went into gameplay, the VTOL slide suddenly disappeared and when I went to the designer, it turned out that the hinge was not engaged. I have connected it many times but have lost it many times, I've had that problem several times. So do us a favor.
    Some Image, hinge is suude separated in designer
    The tank


    We hope that issue gets resolved soon. As always, thanks for your attention.

    Hey you know that patch you guys implemented to fix the report post exploit? It apparently also made the upvote button send you to the homepage when clicked.

    Might not be possible to fix (maybe both things use the same code?), but I thought the dev team should be made aware of that just in case it is.

    This bug has been around forever, but seriously it would be nice if it were fixed.

    When you unevenly scale parts, for some reason when you load the level, the part tried to reflect as if it was it's original shape, causing reflections to go all janky and ugly.

    How to copy:

    1. Grab a part (preferably one with a slant or curved surface, like a fuselage block or a sphere) and scale the width, height and length to different numbers (e.g 0.25,1,2)
    2. Load the level and rotate your camera. Note the ugly reflections.

    Note: Very occasionally, the reflections actually scale correctly, but about 90% of the time this bug happens.


    The fact this bug exists causes parts such as spheres/hemispheres, chaff dispensers and large rotators to be underutilised for part-efficient details.
