Simulator does not support Face Down / Face Up orientations?

I see that there are possible events handed back from orientation change for face up or face down but no way to simulate it.

Also, would be nice to have a right side up button on simulator.

How would I get the actual angle for “UP”, not just the 6 typical positions?

Where is the event.xxxx defined for orientations?

Thanks!

The simulators are mainly for laying out the resources in your app and not to emulate every feature of a device. That’s why you need to test and debug your app on an actual device.

We need to add additional features to the simulator but I’m afraid face-up orientation is not a highly requested “roadmap” feature.

The orientation event is defined here: http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/event/orientation/type.html

The best way to bump up the feature is go to our feedback page and add/vote on the feature.
