Hello, Pilots! We are introducing our biggest update yet, focusing on improving the UI, more fixes, but the most exciting, the track builder! So let's not dwindle much longer, let me show you what the team has been working on.

Track Builder

This one is a bit too big to include with the rest here, so we've decided to create special news just for it, you can find the news here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1278060/view/4255420398707729700 Track Builder is here! As we've concluded from the previous 'teaser image' announcement, there are gates and flags that you can choose and place on the map grid, but yeah, aside from moving/rotating on the map grid, you will be able to assign their pathways and how many laps you want, and the gates are expandable in height, as such you can diversify your track even more, and the interesting bit is that there is a division here. The divisions here are the tracks meant for racer drones i.e. Pure Racer and the Default, and the tracks for micro drones i.e. Whoop, and each division comes with its map. Track Builder is available as a DLC, with the price of $6.99 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3007600/FPV_SkyDive__Track_Builder/ Although! Starting today and lasting two weeks, a Track Builder will be on discount of 40%
Our classic map, Stadium is one such map, it is perfect for the racer drones, and as for the micro-drones, they are getting a brand new map called 'Gymnasium'. This brings me to the next topic!

Updated DLC - FPV.SkyDive - NewBee x IRC Drone

The DLC that introduced Whoops to our game is getting an even better deal thanks to the Track Builder!

• 8x Micro Tracks
• Gymnasium
• Specially designed obstacles for micro drones

Not as important, but good to mention is that we're going to rebrand the DLC and therefore it will have a new name and as such, will fit more according to the latest content that accompanies it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2384660/FPVSkyDive__NewBee_x_IRC_Drone/

User Interface

User Interface is now more pleasing than ever! Here are some of the changes/additions in the update 2.6

• UI changes based on the drone type selection i.e. regular/micro drone
• Titanic is now a part of the regular map selection and subsequently, the special menu has been removed
• The calibration part has been improved, prompting to assign axis/switches if the user has not done so
• There is now a notification if two or more controllers are connected

Free Trial

Another feature that we're bringing to our users is the ability to try out the DLCs for a limited time, and the first DLC that we'll bring this ability to will be our Track Builder, and the duration will be 7 days, the countdown will start once you launch the game.

Titanic announcement

Obtaining a Titanic via flight points was an interesting concept for sure, but we've decided to retire it for now, that does not mean that we've buried the idea of ever bringing this feature back! All of you who obtained the Titanic with your flight points will get to keep her. Titanic will still be available to purchase via item shop, with an even lower price now, of only $2 Oh, and unrelated to Titanic, but since we're talking about lower prices, let's lower the CineWhoop and PureRacer to $1.5 P.S. The trial Whoop drone is not a part of Titanic anymore, now you will have to own the Whoop DLC.

Update notes

All in all, this is one of/if not our biggest update as of now. We've come a long way this year, but we're not ready to rest just yet, the bigger things are coming, and with it, we're only fortifying our will to make this game the best free simulator there is.
