A sequel to FPV Air Tracks is in development and you can try it out now!
The sequel aims to address all the main concerns and feedback I have recieved so far.
Here's a list of those and what I have begun in the sequel to address them;
Poor performance / compaitbility with lower end machines
FPV Air 2 has been made from scratch without all the bloat of textures, models and other assets that make FPV Air Tracks a very large download and slow to run. The squel is very minimal to try and make sure everyone will get excelent performance, even on laptops and other low-end machines.
Incompatible radios/gamepads/controllers
The input management has been completely re-done and is now based on a much better system which is able to detect and use far more usb input devices than the old one. There should not be any radios or controllers that the game will not support in this new system.
Fly-away's, loud motor noises and other common and highly annoying glitches and bugs
Everything about the game is being re-done from the ground up with a clean slate. So the complexity that was causing those bugs is gone and I resolve to never let them creep into this version of the game!
Unrealistic Flight Physics
All the main variables that contribute to the "feel" of the flight physics have been made tweakable in thier own user friendly menu
Rates/Expo setup unlike real life
The game now features the Betaflight calculations for rates/expo etc.
Pilots should be able to simply open the Betaflight menu in game and enter the rates they use on thier real quadcopter and see these replicated 1-to-1 in sim.
How to preview the sequel
- Right click the game name on your Steam Library list and choose 'Properties'
- In the Properties pop-up move to the "Betas" tab
- In the beta passwords text box type in "secretpassword" then enter it
- You should now have been granted access to an invisible beta branch of the game called 'sequel' Choose this beta from your beta's dropdown list
- Steam should do an update which will download the files for the sequel preview and allow you to play it
Feedback I need from YOU
You should notice on the Input tab, in the game, there are buttons for controller/radio presets. I am only able to create presets for the controllers I have access to. So if you have a radio or controller other than a TGY Evo, FALENCI or Xbox One Controller PLEASE set up your chanel/axis binds and upload a screenshot of this to Steam (by pressing F12)!
Don't forget to somehow indicate which radio these binds are for, in the screenshot comments or somewhere like that!
