Milestone update 0.7.0 released
Our old tutorial was an early and most of all experimental Liftoff feature. It didn’t take long for us to realise that this system was not that good and the best way to learn to fly was simply by training in free flight. While we focused on new features and content for months, improving our tutorial system has always been a major point on our to-do list. With the help of community member Adam Kobitz we finally found the time to put development time into this important aspect of the Liftoff experience. With the first iteration of this new tutorial, we hope to make it easier for new pilots to get started. It’s an important step in opening up the Liftoff experience to a wider audience and getting players without any piloting experience started as easily as possible. Of course we are always open to suggestions, and are quite interested in adding more tutorial videos to the system we have. Let us know what you think of the new tutorials and most of all what future videos you would love to see. Thanks!
Our first video contest was exciting and the results amazing, so a second edition was a given! We are happy to organize this second edition of the video contest! Make sure to send in your video to win an exclusive custom Liftoff race flag! Check it out!

We can all agree, learning to fly FPV from scratch is really hard. Liftoff has been a great tool for many drone enthusiasts to get started, but we can do better. With 0.7.0 we introduce a completely new tutorial system, replacing the old (flawed) tutorial we had in the game. Learning to fly FPV both in real life as in Liftoff should now be even easier to do.
We want to thank Adam Kobitz (aka Hyphpv) to help us create this new tutorial!
CHANGELIST
- Removed old tutorial
- Created new tutorial system + 10 tutorial videos
- Added ability to change room settings (and environment/track) while room exists
- Made it possible to play custom tracks offline
- Changed the way players get ordered in the room
- Pressing escape in main menu no longer quits the game
- Reduced maximum FPS in menus.
- Minor bug fixes
