We are excited to introduce Patch 2.6.1, bringing a wide range of enhancements to the simulator. Here are the highlights:

Offline Mode

One of the most requested features is finally here! You can now play the basic game modes offline. This means you can enjoy the game even if you have internet connectivity issues. An internet connection indicator will be visible in the menu, and certain functions requiring an internet connection will be unavailable until you reconnect to Steam.

Micro Drone Lessons in Flight School

Flight School receives a significant upgrade with the introduction of micro drone, specifically Whoop drone, lessons. To fly with the Whoop, you must own the Whoop DLC. If you dont, you can still use the Flight School with the Default drone.

Improved Flight Point Progress in Flight School

At the end of each lesson, you will now see a clearer and more engaging Flight Points and rank-up screen.

Multiplayer Enhancements

You can now use all the drones in your inventory in multiplayer mode. Additionally, each drone will display the pilot's name above it and have a colored trail indicating its drone category. Changelog & update notes:

• Fixed the appearance of caps in the track builder
• Bug fix for assigning axes and switches in calibration
• Contest and challenge modes now work as expected
• Expansion of Flight School for micro drones
• Multiplayer expansion with drone selection, pilot name display, and category-colored trails
• Offline mode for the simulator
• Adaptable UI with a blue accent for micro drones and red for regular drones
• Settings default button now functions correctly, applying only to the current settings section (e.g. Video settings) rather than all simulator settings
• Added a new Flight Point progress screen at the end of Flight School lessons
• Added option to retake lesson in Flight School
