As some of you guessed, this is why development for SR2 has slowed. It takes a lot of work to get a project started, but now that things are moving I can switch back to SR2 and continue working on the career mode update. I'm hoping I can finish the update before Christmas.
@Anat09 This means that your Mac's GPU does not support Metal, so unfortunately that means it will not be able to run version 0.9.700 and above. We will create a branch on Steam so you can continue to play 0.9.600 until you are able to upgrade.
@kittman We did upgrade Unity and it looks like that did increase the minimum requirements for macOS to High Sierra 10.13+. What version of macOS are you using? Also, can you send me your log file? You can find it here:
There is currently a bug with hollow stuff (ie fairings, cargo bays, interstages, etc). No need to report bugs related to those parts as we are already aware and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can.
The launch locations bug should be fixed in the next update. Let us know if you are seeing it again after that. Hopefully this weekend/early next week.
@MOXMAKER You can't use self-made objects, but objects can be scaled in Planet Studio now and you can build up more complex objects using a hierarchy of simpler objects. We have also added two new basic objects: The Concrete Cube and Concrete Cylinder that can have their color customized.
The beta is currently available on the Steam beta branch. The iOS version is approved and ready for testing. If you don't have access to the iOS beta, here's an invite link.
The Android beta will start in a day or two (edit it is now rolling out, and should be available as soon as GooglePlay pushes it out to devices).
Known Issues:
All challenges still need to be updated to work with the new system.
Stacked runways. Yes, they are like pancakes. Don't look too close. It's a long story.
You can now EVA an astronaut by clicking on them, instead of only via the crew-compartment (chair/cockpit/etc.)
Added button to menu panel in designer to change the launch location.
Fixed bug where interacting with MFDs via an FPS camera would result in jerky inconsistent results.
Fixed issue in PlanetStudio System Editor where if you close the info panel for planets you can no-longer reopen it (it opens every time a planet is clicked).
This sounds like an issue with the Steam client however, we have heard similar issues from other players. I'm really not sure why SR2 seems to part of the problem. Have you tried reinstalling the Steam client?
@Ishaanpal You can get the beta on Steam by right-clicking SimpleRockets 2 in the Steam client and select Properties. Go to the BETAS tab and select Beta from the dropdown.
I'm sorry to hear that. It is possible to fix some of these issues by using the Files app to remove a problematic sandbox or craft from your SR2 installation.
@MethaManAerospace It might be easier to copy the URL and press CTRL+V in the game to load a craft/sandbox (assuming you are on Windows) or use the Steam overlay browser by clicking the DOWNLOAD CRAFTS button in the game.
@SelectAKey Thanks! Let me know if you see the problem again where it accelerates to objects to incredible speeds, as that would really help us to have a craft that replicates that problem.
@socialist Currently Planet Builder is a PC only feature. We are not sure yet if it will ever be available on mobile as it requires a lot of horsepower.
Thanks, @pedro16797 for the suggestion on how to rearrange the navigation links at the top of the page! I think it looks a lot better now! What does everyone else think?
@Mrmaraunet You might need to do a combination of the two. Some crafts that are loaded in the scene have not written their XML to file yet, so the LoadCraftXml method would throw an exception. You should probably attempt to use the craftNode.CraftScript property, and if it is null, then try loading XML via _flightState.LoadCraftXml (craftNode.NodeId);
Can you submit a bug report from within the game with a screenshot? Be be sure to click the Toggle UI button in the top right to show the UI so we can see what's going on.
Thanks for letting me know.

3.8 years ago@SelectAKey @Gozinya Do you have a sandbox or craft that demonstrates the issues you are seeing so we can investigate?
3.8 years ago@SharanyaBrataSaha It should be fixed now. Thanks for reminding me.
3.9 years ago@Athing No, the nav sphere will remain.
+1 3.9 years ago@Anand I agree. We are thinking of adding an option to resize it independently of the main UI scale setting.
+3 3.9 years ago@CodeCaptain Yes, just tap the button on the bottom right to hide it. It is hidden by default.
