Greetings, Pilots! We're here to ''analyze'' the Track Builder and give you some more juicy details. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3007600/FPV_SkyDive__Track_Builder/ So, let's start where we left off. If you're coming here from the 2.6 article, then you'll remember that one introduction where you can choose the map/drone type before entering the Track Builder. If not, well, you've just been spoiled. Here we go! Once your chosen map has finished loading you will automatically engage with the Tutorial section! The layout has been designed to be as friendly as possible to our users, so follow the tutorial and get creative! ;) Place the launch pad, place the gate, and stick the flag!
Oh, want to see the gates that we've made specifically for Whoops? Check this scaling feature.
Alright, I'll stop with the lollygagging, let's be serious. These here are the gates that we've designed for Track Builder tool:
Pretty neat huh? But, yeah, once you have completed the tutorial, and you've assigned the pathways
You will be ready to go! P.S. Your tracks will be saved and you can find them inside the racing category, they will be marked with the red color. One more thing, how would you like for your racing track to end up becoming one of our official race courses within the game? Soon we will have more information for you on our Discord channel, make sure to be there! https://discord.gg/g5dvZS6neu
Now for the more technical heavy side of things, there is a limit of 30 'visual' gates that you can place on one track, but for their waypoints, there is a cap of 50 detections 'gates', and of course as for the limit of how many tracks you can create, that number is eight. Keep in mind that each edit of track (click on edit) erases personal best time because each entry in edit mode can result with change in flying path and placement of gates.

Where is the achievement, though!!!??

Patch changelog:

• Bug fix for "New Text" in game settings
• Bug fix for settings adjustment and save
• Settings bug that caused calibration problems is now fixed

To address the initialisation issues affecting a small group of users, we have reset all settings except for calibration for all users, as the potential problem lies in loading the settings. Please reconfigure your settings upon entering the simulator. We ask all users who still experience game initialisation issues after the update to contact us in the Discord channel. This patch brings more realistic Whoop physics and we hope that you will enjoy it even more than before! Whoop physics improvements list:

• Re-tuning of PIDs
• Re-tuning of motor graphs and parameters

Hello, Pilots! I've got some news for you! Since you're all probably busy expanding your drone fleet, the team has decided to make the entire process of purchasing and selecting drones more streamlined and more pleasing to the eye. There is no more drop-down menu for selecting the desired drone, it is all about the visuals now, having the drone be the focus. I mean, it's even got a pedestal beneath it, and simple pleasing stats to look at... To allow everyone the opportunity to try out the new drones, after the introduction of the drone market (which will also serve as the drone selector initially), all drones will have min. 24-hour free trial option. We are committed to giving all users the chance to experience and enjoy the latest features. Our goal is to continually improve the simulator while keeping it free-to-play. But no more praises from me, you will get to see this for yourselves, soon! ;)

To address the initialisation issues affecting a small group of users, we have reset all settings except for calibration for all users, as the potential problem lies in loading the settings. Please reconfigure your settings upon entering the simulator. We ask all users who still experience game initialisation issues after the update to contact us in the Discord channel. Patch 2.5.8(a) changelog:

• Fixed issue when player couldn't properly apply settings after factory settings reset
• Replaced resolution scaler slider with resolution selector
• Revert of throttle super rate
• Ads, when clicked, would now select the drone if its accessible instead of start purchase action
• Potential fix for users that stuck on initialisation screen

Pilots! We've prepared some quality rewards for SkyDive's fourth anniversary, the rewards that you've automatically entered the raffle for, but only if you have bought our Pure Racer. You're eligible to enter the raffle with the purchase of Pure Racer. We will draw three winners on Tuesday, the 14th of May. [olist]

It's here everyone! Pure Racer is coming to our simulator!
Now, you might have noticed that the original racer got renamed to 'default' in the previous patch, and well, the reason for that is because the previous racer... although it did have a close resemblance to the Racer drone, its specifications were more akin to that of a combination between the freestyle/racer drone, but being true to the neither, and that makes it a pretty good default drone. That is why we came up with the new drone that is 'true' to the Racer drone characteristics, it's fast and it's agile. You can get this PureRacer for the price of $2.99! This is the second brand-new drone that we have introduced so far, can you guess what will be the next one? Since we're celebrating the 4th anniversary of the game, buying a pure racer can bring you a lot, lot more. More information next week! P.S. The Dev Team is apologizing for the inconsistency regarding the physics problem, we are fully committed to solving this! Patch 2.5.8 changelog:

• New drone 'Pure Racer' added as an inventory item
• Increased frame colliders to prevent camera clipping
• Whoop physics improvement
• Added option to race, participate in contest & challenges with various drones.
• Calibration will be saved immediately after calibration process

Hi all! This patch consists of the following... Patch 2.5.7

• Replaced Racer model with new more appropriate one
• Racer drone is now called Default drone
• Whoop physics have been optimized and are now more stable at high speeds and less "floaty" during free falls
• Added a Display Mode option to the video settings; you can now choose between fullscreen, windowed borderless, and windowed

Hello, everyone! As promised, the first out of three is here! THE CINEEWHOOP!
Are you ready for some smooth flying, pilots? Look no more, for Cinewhoop is here to capture that steady footage you have always wanted to show on your social media. You will be able to get this little fella for the price of $2.99! And you will be able to do so by simply going to the drone selector, and choosing the Cinewhoop option. This is the first out of three drones that we are releasing, can you guess what the other two will be? But enough about drones, you are probably waiting for that Titanic challenge, right? Well, here it is! The Challenge!
Show your skills, let's see who is worthy of being called the Ace. Below is a ranked timer for collecting all tokens inside the challenge mode.

• Bronze - 80s
• Silver - 75s
• Gold - 70s

New Content
• New Drone Cinewhoop
• Added challenge mode on the Titanic map
• Added won flight points in Challenges

Bug Fixes
• Buggy Visuals / Textures on the Titanic are no more.
• Clipping through certain walls on the Titanic is no longer possible.
• Audio settings are now working as intended.
• You can no longer go slightly underwater on the Titanic map.
• Multiplayer lobby creation bugfix.

Greetings, dear folk! We're happy to inform you that the Titanic has successfully embarked! But, that's not what we're here for, no, we're here to tell you that more content is coming, sooner than you think. Contents will be spread across three weeks, and by the end of this week, we're not only going to reveal the content of the first week, but we're also launching it! Stay tuned, pilots!

Warm greetings to you, folk. This morning it dawned on me that we're launching the Titanic map today. Yes, you've heard me right, like literally right now, it's going to be launched!
As an avid reader of our news, you have probably read our previous article on the new concept of acquiring and using flight points...? No worries if you have not. All I will say is this - If you have accumulated 2500 flight points, you can unlock our new Titanic map! Your points will stay as they are, and you won't de-rank and such. This is a reward after all, not a sale. But, now that we've mentioned a sale, you will be able to get it alternatively and avoid the 'grind' for a mere price of $2.99 :) For people who like challenges, and no, I am not daring you to do something, it's one of those things where you fly around the map and collect inanimate objects before you run out of time, that kind of challenge. Yeah, that is going to come a bit later, we're not including it yet, but it will be available for this map soon. Oh, one more thing, let's address the elephant in the room, what is that whoop doing on the banner, and why does it say included, are my eyes deceiving me? No my friends, whoop is indeed included with this map, but the catch is that it will be included only in this map. If you want to fly Whoop on any other map, you will still need to buy it separately. Now onto the more serious matters at hand, the update notes. Update Notes 2.5.5

• Titanic Map
• News & Notification System on main menu screen
• Drone selector in Special Titanic map

Hello to you, the one reading this. Do you remember the P.S. that I dropped in our Titanic reveal, the one about flight points? The time has come to reveal the new concept fully.
We all like collecting points, don't we not? Not too long ago, we released flight points, a way for our players to be able to metrically show off their flight skills, but this shouldn't only serve as a tool to ''show-off'' no, we are going to expand upon this, more information down below.
Once you start collecting flight points, you will notice at the top right corner that there is a bar that is filling up every time you collect points, and once it fills up, you will rank up, and the process begins anew, until you climb to the top of the hierarchy, to become the Ace.

• No Rank 0 - 49
• Cadet 50 - 249
• Pilot 250 - 1,249
• Amateur 1,250 - 6,200
• Underdog 6,250 - 12,499
• Prospect 12,500 - 24,999
• Competitor 25,000 - 49,999
• Challenger 50,000 - 99,999
• Master 100,000 - 249,999
• Grandmaster 250,000 - 624,999
• Ace 625,000+

Hi everyone! This patch consists of the following...

Patch 2.5.4.
• - Multiplayer fixes (sound, spawn, DLC)
• - Flight Points UI improvements
• - Addition of Specials screen
• - Changed background image

Hi, folks! I'm here to bring you the freshest news to the market. I spotted developers doing some alchemy, and to me, It looks like they are brewing some new content. Far away on the horizon a ship can be seen, her silhouette is betraying her features... she is a ship built for the rough seas. I am more than thrilled to announce to you a new concept in the works, and this time we'll be giving homage to an ocean liner that was to rule the sea, but instead was lost to it. We'll have more information for you very soon, so be on the lookout, and come over to our Discord channel, there's always something going on in there, whether that be a giveaway or the good ol' contest with fellow players. P.S. I'll have to be honest with you, I'm thinking of stocking up on some flight points, I've a feeling they will soon come in handy.

Today marks an exciting milestone in FPV.SkyDive as we proudly unveil Flight School - the latest addition to Orqas leading free-to-play simulator!

However, in the entire FPV community there have been very few structured, focused and curriculum-driven programmes aimed at introducing FPV concepts & learning more advanced techniques...until now.

Orqa presents a new Racecourse map, bringing exciting new features! Racecourse map opens the possibility of practicing on a large open area next to the river, forest and the hippodrome.
The map also features environment sounds and, for the first time, water effects! The new map will be updated over time with additional objects and animations! It offers 4 brand-new tracks specifically optimized for FPV Pilots. The stadium map and all tracks from the stadium are temporarily removed from the simulator. Racecourse also becomes map that is used in Training. The new update includes: - New Racecourse map with 4 racing tracks - Fixed problem where multiple number of batches in maps led to poor performance - LZ4 build compression, enabling reduced simulator size - New analog video effect (Camera Noise) - Map borders fix - Track fix on Midnight Airport DLC Map - Refactored Reset option that resets map faster - Minor changes in Video Settings WARNING: A somewhat lower performance on the Racecourse map is possible in the initial phases of release. The overall performance will, however, be improved in the upcoming updates. Also, we advise you to use the new analog effect with Resolution scaler above 0.7 for a better look.

Orqa announces a rollback version with features from version 1.1. and an additional Frame Limiter option in the Settings menu. The reason behind the rollback is the fact that the version 1.1 had a problem with the drone physics and overall performances on the new image rendering system that we are trying to correct. Consequently, a new, improved rendering system with enhanced performance and new maps is coming soon. In this version (1.1.1), we brought back the Construction site map and replaced the Polygon map with the Stadium. Update includes additional game improvements and bug fixes: - Frame Limiter - Fixed boundaries in maps - Changes in map tracks
