We are rounding off the 1.6 Wings and Weapons update with 1.6.3 which introduces some small changes to the game and a whole lot of bug fixes.

Before we get into the thick of the patch notes we want to thank the 150 people who have already bought the Limited Edition Chirpo plushie. There are still 50 left of this unique piece of Trailmakers memorabilia so make sure to grab one before it’s too late:

• Missile now rotates with the launcher.
  
• Weapons that rotate now reset their rotation when entering the builder.
  
• Fixed cases where Chirpos wouldn’t enter seats if you transformed between structures in the pick up zone.
  
• Fixed Disable Look Around toggle no longer working.
  
• Fixed first person view behavior when upside down.
  
• Fixed two Sandbox options being listed in Game Mode drop down.

• Fixed issues with Block Input Overview UI when leaving the builder with it enabled and a high complexity structure.
  
• Fixed issues with the camera not snapping back to its intended position if the player was moving the mouse as a cutscene ended.

• Fixed issues with cutscenes being skipped if a mission a client was on was completed whilst they were in the builder or map.
  
• Fixed issues with blocks using Skins switching to the clean skin as they fell off structures.
  
• Fixed the ramp.

Happy Trailmaking! Keep an eye out for our 1.7 announcement. We think you’re going to like it. 👀

Bork bork

A dev left their pc unsupervised so i play trailmakers now bork. Gotta make my character first.

Bork bork

Also my friends still needs a home so if you can adopt one that would be borktastic.
we are very limited supply: https://shop.makeship.com/3qruL70 bork and also time limited. So limited.

Heads up, Trailmakers - something cute is heading your way!

The Chirpos are migrating into your homes. Tomorrow we are launching the Chirpo plushie through our friends at Makeship!

We already have one at the office and our totally unbiased opinion is that it’s the plushie to rule them all. Good size, dashing colors, and that goofy ahh Chirpo face we have all come to adore.

Get your Chirpo plushie here: https://shop.makeship.com/3qruL70

Here’s how it works:

We need to sell 200 Chirpos to “fund” the plushie. If the threshold is not met, the Chirpos won’t be sent and everyone will naturally be refunded (just like on Kickstarter).

If the project is funded the Chirpos will be released into the wild (or your bedrooms). The campaign is now live, click here to get yours!

Great channels to stay up-to-date:
Discord: https://discord.gg/trailmakers

Heads up, Trailmakers!

A new update is coming. Mind you, it is not as grande as Airborne and 1.6 but you will find a few things many of you have been asking for.


Previously you had to beat the Airborne campaign to play the map in Sandbox mode. Well, no longer. The gates are open. Have fun!

This has been requested by many and so be it. Enjoy flying around Pirate Peak without a care in the world.

Can’t show you yet but they are awesome. Trust us.

Because you all love sticky orbit apparently.

The pro gamers in the Trailmakers community have begged us for this option for the ultimate skill-based dogfighter experience.

Because Airships are awesome and should be easily distributed amongst the masses.

That and much more in Trailmakers 1.6.3. More info will follow soon

It’s been roughly a month since the release of Airborne and 1.6 and boy have we been spoiled with lots of great content from the brilliant creators in our community.

Here are some of our favourites::



















We are always keeping an eye on YouTube, Twitter, and Discord for fun, creative, and chaotic Trailmakers videos so keep them coming. We truly believe this community makes the best content in all of gaming.

Hey Trailmakers!

Trailmakers 1.6 Wings and Weapons and our Expansion, Airborne launched on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox yesterday and we've been overwhelmed by the response. From the bottom of all of our hearts at Flashbulb - thank you!

As always, we've been reading, watching and listening to all of the feedback and reports coming in and we have prepared a small Steam hotfix today to address a couple of issues that we wanted to fix with the newly added Camera Block. Right now this hotfix is only going live on Steam, we are working on a hotfix with the same fixes (and more that will also arrive for Steam) for our Xbox and PlayStation players, but the process there is a little slower, sadly. We'll update on that when we have more concrete info.

Hotfixes

- Fixed an issue with the Camera view quickly switching back and forth when a structure with a camera block attached lost a block.
- Fixed an issue with multiple camera view messages being output when a structure seat was hit.
- Fixed an issue with Camera Block view getting stuck if multiple Camera Blocks were detached at different delay timings.
- Fixed some issues with Camera Blocks being activated by Logic Blocks.
