This update will give you a complete new appreciation for your "T" button, a hidden love you never knew about ;)
Want to know more?  Check this out!

• Added Rewind. Default bound by 'T' on the keyboard.
  
• Added 'Disable rewind' as a multiplayer room option and is added as purist game modifier.
  
• Added 'Disable rewind' to the tournament rulesets.
  
• Updated how Timed Tryouts are displayed in tournaments.
  
• Re-ordered keybinding entries in the Button Setup menu for a more logical ordering.
  
• Updated the Multiplayer Leaderboards scene. All data is now available in-game.
  
• Added new official AutumnFields track and race, designed by DerHonk.
  
• Rework of Liftoff-Steam integration for faster and more stable content access.

We are constantly looking for ways to improve the Liftoff experience. For a while we’ve been thinking about how to increase your flight-time and decrease the downtime. We want you to be more in the air and less on the ground!

That’s why we are adding a rewind system in this update. No longer will “R” (Reset) be the only option when you crash. By hitting the “T” key you can now rewind the path of your drone for up to 10 seconds, and afterwards continue flying as if nothing happened. We’ve been testing it for a few days and we feel we’ve succeeded in increasing our actual flight time. Practicing in Liftoff is now more fun than ever.

As always, this feature is completely optional. Where races and tournaments are concerned, we feel this is not really a cheat, as the race timer keeps counting while you rewind. It simply means you’ll be able to finish more races.

We are happy to get your feedback on this feature!

That simulators are the perfect tool to learn how to fly an FPV drone is a well known fact… but does it help you to become good at it? No doubt!
We have an exciting story to share with you, to prove once and for all that Liftoff is the magic ingredient to push you in the direction of greatness. Liftoff players are now considered to be among the best pilots in the world and we couldn’t be more proud of our community!

A few months ago Richard Kennedy got in contact with us and told us about his friend Michael Tseng who would be participating in an exciting primetime FPV competition. Both gentlemen are long-time Liftoff enthusiasts and are better known by the community as Rambozo.fpv and Control.fpv. Michael would be racing in the DHL Champions Series from DR1 as part of the Team Rebel. When Richard asked us if we would be willing to support team Rebel, we didn’t hesitate to say YES! Liftoff is now the top sponsor for Team Rebel and we are happy to support these amazing pilots!

See them in action here!

Michael Tseng (aka https://www.instagram.com/p/BZUNbFaldmt/?taken-by=control.fpv) is becoming a big name in the FPV world and his performance on DR1 shows exactly why!
Michael has been a Liftoff player since the start and in his words has used Liftoff to learn FPV racing and become a pro at it. He’s been training in Liftoff every day consistently, building up hundreds of hours of stick time. Furthermore, he’s also been an active promoter of Liftoff as a training tool and has been an amazing community member. You might have seen him stream Liftoff for hours on Facebook and Twitch. Make sure to check out his channels!

We can’t wait to see what he, and other top Liftoff pilots accomplish in the future!

When we released the new input and calibration system as part the 0.12.0 Milestone update last Monday, we knew we took a risky step. These systems are core functionality that enable you to play the game and could be game-breaking if they don’t work as expected. For this reason we had made earlier versions of these systems available for testing months before. The feedback we got from you was positive and the community encouraged us to move forwards and push these changes to the main version of the game. While some issues did appear after release, overall we consider the Milestone update to be a success! The majority of players experience no issues and noticed the big improvements that this update introduced. Of course, we have not been blind to those who did experience some issues.

Releasing this big update on Monday was not an accident. It gave us the rest of the week for fully focussing on tweaking and polishing these new features, and that’s exactly what we did. We released a quickfix update each and every day of the week, bringing our current version number to 0.12.4. We’ve decided to collect the results and information of these updates into one development blogpost.

• Fixed additional issue where some controllers could not be saved
  
• Minor input bugfixes and quality of life improvements

• Fixed issue with saved keyboard bindings not loading correctly.
  
• Fixed issue with saving button bindings when no controller is connected.
  
• Fixed oversized controller popup.
  
• Fixed track builder issue where custom tracks could not be edited.
  
• Fixed drone creation issue where pressing the ‘New drone’ button wouldn’t do anything.
  
• Fixed messed up loading content panel.
  
• Fixed issue with the player activity indicator in multiplayer.
  
• Added a pop-up when joining a tournament to review the tournament rules at least once.

• Input finetuning can now also be done before the calibration process.
  
• Zero point no longer influences UI navigation.
  
• Added 5 NEXXblades track elements.
  
• Added 3 Conrad track elements.
  
• Added 4 DCL track elements.

Still in our to-do list is the reintroduction of detecting multiple input devices at once, and allowing you to pick one over the other. We suspect this might solve some of the reports about controller or remotes not being recognised. The game currently picks the first input device that your operating system can provide. This means that, rather than picking your preferred remote or controller, the game might use an unused input device to get its input data from the player.

We’ll continue to monitor the community channels for feedback and reports!
