I’ve had the gym and crane problems on an iPhone X running iOS 12 and 13 and now with an iPad Pro 2020 running iOS 14.4. I’ve tried all of the different control configurations (analog and buttons) but nothing changed. I can send screen recordings if that would help. Always stuck at the crane mission. No joystick, just up and down arrows appear. Also, on the flight school mission, it does not allow the player to complete the skydiving test. Everything works fine, but when you land the timer never stops and so you cannot complete the test. I can also screen record that as well. I had the same issue with both devices and all 3 iOS’s
EDIT: I figured out that for the crane mission, the joystick only appears so low that using it forces the user to trigger the swipe up to go home on devices without a home button. I had to press the very bottom of the screen to get the joystick to work. If i go above about a half inch from the bottom of the device, the joystick disappears completely.
I am still having the parachute issue on the Learn to Fly mission at Verdant Meadows. It opens the chute, controls fine down to landing, but the timer never stops when I land.
