During the past weeks we’ve talked to no end about what the Trailmakers: Airborne DLC will include. But some of you feel left out under the impression that the extravagant update will only benefit people who pay for the DLC.
So let’s go over ALL the things that EVERYONE will receive for FREE in patch 1.6.
Is your plane tipping over? Are you having difficulty taking off? Well, now it’s going to be easier locating the problem. The Center of Forces visualization gives you clear insight into your vehicle's weight distribution, buoyancy, thrust and more. For the hardcore Trailmakers who would rather figure it out themselves you can easily disable this.
Get ready to have a balloon party You can now mount your vehicle with inflatable balloons for that direct vertical ascend. The balloons can be inflated and deflated at your will for precise altitude control.
The party balloon is… well a balloon. Use it for extra lift or make the house from Up. As always, your imagination is your limit.
Did you forget how you mapped your block inputs? Us too, sometimes. But fear not. In 1.6 you will be able to toggle Block Input Overview for a detailed overview on how to operate even your most complex creations.
In 1.6 you will be freed from the shackles of only 8 camera angles. Mount camera blocks on your vehicle to get a customized view of your driving, flying, sailing or diving.
Use it to look behind you to accurately fire in a dogfight chase, place it below for better view in your bombing runs, or whatever else you can think of!
We’ve already talked about this but many thought this was purely a DLC feature. Well, it’s not! Aiming receptacles with adjustable aim assist is coming to ALL players in Trailmakers, bound to make your brawls more interesting.
This is not an aim bot but an aim assist. It will vaguely predict where your enemy is and where they are going. But a skilled pilot will be able to dodge without issues.
Guuuuuuuuuns! Mini Guns have made their way into Trailmakers and their name is ironic because honestly they’re anything but mini. They’re fast and can quickly dismantle an enemy vehicle in a hail-fire of bullets.
Put Bomb Bays under your aircraft and drop early Christmas presents on unsuspecting ground enemies (or airborne enemies if your timing and aim can handle it). But if you prefer to bomb things in front of you the new Rocket Launcher might be the better pick.
And this is what it’s all about, right? Wings, tailfins, and ailerons with adjustable flaps to build an agile and stable aircraft. In a flying context, these parts are self-explanatory.
These are among the things coming for free in the 1.6 updates but not all. Keep an eye out for more news.
Happy Trailmaking!
