We're thrilled to introduce the highly anticipated Stargazer along with some subtle flight behavior tweaks in this exciting new update for Liftoff: Micro Drones.
Changelist
- Added: Hisingy Stargazer
- Added: seasonal events: Christmas, Halloween. (more to come)
- Added: The FPV Angle Mixing feature is available in the flight controller settings. Toggling this feature on will affect the H-ALT, LEVEL and HRZN flight modes to also correct on their roll when yawing while pitching forward or backwards.
- Fixed: Multiplayer connectivity issues.
- Fixed: spectating in 3rd person view now works correctly.
- Fixed: Camera noise is working again.
- Fixed: Rate profiles saving.
- Fixed: Loading screen tips on mac are now showing properly.
- Fixed: Invisible collisions due to objects not rendering in various environments.
- Fixed: Several occlusion culling issues, where objects would disappear when flying behind objects.
- Fixed: Startup screen brand logo’s now show centered on the screen.
- Fixed: Sign in to the multiplayer in non-multiplayer related menu’s.
- Update: increased the overall drag factor to eliminate some observed drift behaviour.
- Updated: The quality settings in the graphics menu have been reduced to three options (Low, Medium and High) instead of five options.
- Updated: Slightly tweaked text color in the loading screen, flight controller settings and controller calibration menu’s for better readability.
- Updated: The environment selection now shows small clips to better visualise the current selection.
- Updated: The environment loading process has been optimised on slower hard drives. Environment loading should be a lot faster on these devices.
- Updated: Lighting in many environments has been redone to give a more consistent look.
Stargazer
The HISINGY Stargazer, an acclaimed micro drone, now joins Liftoff: Micro Drones. With its stylish design, modular construction, and remarkable user-friendliness, the Stargazer is set to bring the excitement of FPV to a broader audience. We are excited to welcome them into Liftoff!
Physics and flight behaviour tweaks
Through the development of the original Liftoff, we've learned that achieving a satisfying flight simulation requires an iterative approach involving the community's testing and feedback. As Liftoff: Micro Drones is in early access, we're committed to refining the flight experience.
Your feedback highlighted drifting issues with the micro drones in Liftoff. This update addresses this by increasing the drag factor.
