New and bigger environments, that’s what you’ve asked for and that’s what we deliver in this update!

We are proud to reveal “The Pit”, a huge, open level with lots of freestyle and track building opportunities. The Pit will be 1 km2 in size, making it one of the biggest environments in Liftoff yet. We love powerlooping the transport belts, diving the 200m high cliff faces and doing all kinds of crazy freestyle tricks around our massive excavator.

We can’t wait to see what awesome tracks you create in The Pit!


One thing to try in the new environment is our new Infinite race mode, a new game mode that’s available in both single player and multiplayer. The goal of the mode is to increase the air-time during your gameplay sessions. Infinite Race mode allows you to fly as many laps as you want; only the lap times matter here. We found this variation in the classic race mode to be quite addictive and we hope you like it as well!

Finally! It took us a while, but we finally have the option to swap setups in multiplayer. You can do this by clicking your player entry in multiplayer, and by scrolling through your fleet setups in the newly introduced player profile window. In a similar fashion, you can look up other players’ profiles and discover the setup they have selected for that multiplayer session. Even cooler, when someone has uploaded his drone setup to the workshop, you can download his setup from his profile by clicking the download icon!

Yes, drone sharing is now a thing in Liftoff. The Workshop is no longer limited to sharing and downloading your favorite Liftoff tracks, but also allows you to publish kick-ass drone setups for everyone to discover. Want to know what setup someone uses? Simply check out their profile and discover if the setup was shared by the player.

Sharing drones can currently be done in the drone selection screen by clicking the “Share” button. By clicking the button you get access to a short form to fill in the submission details. With just one click on the “submission” button, your drone setup, including its flight controller settings, is now available for download to over 60.000 Liftoff players.

While we are not ready yet to release the new features and content we are working on, we didn’t want to wait to release these fixes and small (but fun) additions.

Big thanks to the community members who notified us about these issues, your feedback is key in providing a quality experience while we continue to update (and break) the game with each update. While updates like this are not as exciting as some of the bigger updates that include big features and content, they are nonetheless very important in making Liftoff the best FPV sim.

• Fixed issue with false start at countdown.
  
• Fixed animation issue for Tournament and Leaderboards pannels.
  
• Fixed clipping issue of error pannel.
  
• Slightly increased “center stick” time in the calibration setup.
  
• Removed Delayed Backflip trick in favour of Powerloop.
  
• Added blueprint setup inspired by Control.fpv.
  
• Added Control.fpv skin for Talon.
  
• Happy holidays!

As the changelist suggest, we’ve added a new bleuprint setup for you to enjoy. The setup gets its own cool skin and is completely tunes by Michael Tseng, known by many as Control.FPV.

This quad is comprised of parts that together reproduce the closest feel to what I race at live events. It has an ‘all around’ configuration that sacrifices top speed in the straights for additional control in the corners.

Michael has been an amazing member of the community, streaming his practise sessions in Liftoff almost every day on Twitch. He’s not just an fantastic Liftoff community member but also an amazing real life pilot, recently showing off his skill on DR1.
Both the Liftoff team as Michael himself would love to know what you think of this setup!

Update 0.12.8 improves on all aspects of the game, from UI changes to gameplay tweaks, bugfixes and new content.

• Countdown speed increased for faster round starts.
  
• Freestyle mode internal rework: tricks should be easier to detect.
  
• Added 7 new tricks to discover in the Freestyle mode.
  
• Added smoke effect when your lipo is destroyed.

While we've never stopped working on new environments during development of Liftoff, they often take a lot of time to create. A simple a asset can take days up to weeks to create and some environments contain hundreds of complex assets, Hannover being the best example of that. Those of you who follow us on the Liftoff Community Group have seen us tease 2 new environments.  We know a lot of you ask us for new environments to play in and we are committed to making that a reality. While they are not quite ready yet, they are getting closer to release.
