On top of the changes from FPVSIM V2.0, this version brings -
**Highlights**
- First-time setup is much smoother. Controller detection, first-run calibration, and the calibration instructions were all improved so getting into flight should take less trial and error.
- Added Tinywhoop and 10 inch drones running on the improved dynamics engine. The 5-inch, Tiny Whoop 65mm, and 10-inch setups were retuned/tuned so each craft has a clearer identity in handling, collision size, and sound.
- Drone audio got a big upgrade. Procedural prop audio was added, then polished further with cleaner pitch tuning and less unwanted wind noise.
- Local play is simpler. You no longer need to register an account on fpvsim.com just to start flying locally.
**Review Concerns Addressed**
- Controller setup is confusing: addressed by the calibration overhaul, better device checks, clearer prompts, and fixes to settings applying after calibration.
- Different drones feel too similar: addressed by preset-specific tuning for 5-inch, Tiny Whoop, and 10-inch drones.
- Collisions/crashes feel off: addressed by more realistic collision sizes and added crash sound effects.
- The sim needs more immersion: addressed by the new drone audio system and follow-up audio polish.
- Login requirement adds friction: addressed by the move to local-native play without mandatory account signup.
- Default PID values were updated, which should improve baseline feel before manual tuning for beginners.
** Other updates **
- Upgraded to UE 5.7
