DRL SIM 2.2 Release Announcement

Hello Pilots,
We’ve got a new update for you all that improves upon a few of the things we introduced in the last update. Here’s what you can expect from DRL Simulator Version 2.2

Changing Drones:

We’ve made it easier to change drones during any of our events or activities. You can now change your drone directly through the pause menu without having to go back to the map screen. Be aware that this will restart your current race and change the race class accordingly.

Physics Dashboard Improvements:

In addition to some overall tweaking, we have enabled the Physics Dashboard to be accessed from any mode in the game. Players can set and save physics properties for their custom drones on the fly. Please note that race times with your own physics will be marked different from default physics times in order to keep things fair.

Here’s how it works:

  • In race or freestyle you must open the Physics Dashboard from the pause menu at which point your run will be tagged as a ‘Custom Physics’ run until you hit a loading screen and it resets, unless you have a ‘Tuned’ drone but we’ll get to that later.
  • Hitting the ‘P’ key now will bring up the dashboard like in the ‘Physics’ level.
  • In the Physics Dashboard you can ‘Save’ your current settings you have set to your drone that you are using, the drone then becomes ‘Tuned’. Hitting ‘Clear’ will reset your drone back to default settings. Selecting ‘New’ at the top will save your drone as a community drone, more on that in future updates.
  • DRL Leaders leaderboard is for stock parts on a default tuned DRL Racer3. Don’t worry, you can still go nuts with the cosmetics and still be official.

If you have any other questions, please leave them in the comments below.

Bugs and Performance:

We’re hard at work improving the overall experience of the game, we’ve focused this update on improving our quality settings and performance of the game along with general bug fixes. If you’re having any trouble with the SIM or just want to know more, please see our helpdesk

Thanks everyone!
