The Zone - FPV Drone Simulator

- Added 2.5" Freestyle drone based on the Kayoumini - Visual update for 85mm drone - Tweaked lighting settings for other online player models and trails

- Disabled wind by default (it wasn't supposed to go live in the first place) - Fixed bug where wind stays on slightly even when disabled - If you want to turn it back on, type "/set wind_speed 10" in the chat

- Work in progress alpha custom race editor - Join discord for instructions on how to enable it

- Automatically change physics simulation speed when CPU is tired - Rename system latency tester to make it less confusing

- Added latency simulation - Added latency tester for input and monitor latency - Improved physics consistency at lower FPS - Reduced overall input latency slightly - Fixed stutter when spectating multiple people with picture-in-picture

I might or might have not deleted a useless looking line of code that was in fact not useless at all

- Fix bug where Achievements can be set to NaN - Decrease picture-in-picture spectate FoV

- Mouse cursor now auto hides after a few seconds - Respawn switch now also resets the Race timer - Player list no longer overflows - Increased chat readability - Auto hide chat messages after a while - Removed "Player joined the server" message - No longer allow binding the same action to 2 switches - Adjusted pricing for Poland

- New server browser UI - Added more community maps to server list - Improved map download speed - Cancelled or failed downloads should no longer brick the map

Decreased brightness a bit · Increased FPS slightly and potential fix for micro stutters on some systems

Added Ray-traced lighting to OG Bando and Triangle Bando · Added auto-exposure camera effect · Increased FPS by 2-3x on most systems

- Added center stick calibration - Increased FPS - Added random stuff on the maps (windows only currently) - Fixed 3.5" frame in view on high tilt - Renamed practice mode to tutorial

Updated rate finder graph to be more readable · Added /set rate_osd 1 chat command · Youtube tutorial on how to actually use it:

- Added 3 new races - Added Rate finder (video coming soon) - Display "centering throttle" correctly in controller setup screen - Improve performance when fisheye is enabled (especially on mac and linux) - Fix frame in view on high camera tilt

- Added Fisheye distortion, enabled by default with the O4 Pro preset - Aspect ratio can now be set to 4:3, 16:9 or Fullscreen (for ultrawide monitors etc) Currently there are only 3 fisheye presets: O4 Pro, T-Rex and Disabled. Let me know which cameras you're using and I'll try to add a wider range of options.

Added 3.5" Freestyle Drone · Added 85mm Tinywhoop · Added 65mm Tinywhoop

Added advanced video signal simulation for Analog, Digital and O4 Race mode, can be enabled in the in-game settings · Added respawn switch bind in controller settings · Respawn point can be set with S · Custom respawn point can be removed with X · Respawn point also affects signal simulation

Updated OG Bando map in sync with IRL changes · Added VSync framerate option · Added physics fps display · Fixed shadows toggle for custom maps

Custom maps can now be uploaded and shared with other players · Custom maps can now be played in online multiplayer · Added Blender template file with pre-installed texture library · If you have any questions, join the discord server

Added option to change rendering driver which fixes a weird graphics glitch on some AMD GPU <> Driver combinations. See

- Added trails from my tutorial videos - Updated game engine version Enable trails by binding it to a switch in controller setup. Trail frequency can be tweaked using "/set trail_interval 30" in the chat. Default is every 50 milliseconds.

- Fix trails being activated when it shouldn't

- Added trails from my tutorial videos - Updated game engine version Enable trails by binding it to a switch in controller setup. Trail frequency can be tweaked using "/set trail_interval 30" in the chat. Default is every 50 milliseconds.

- Fix PID flyaway for light quads (5" Racer), caused by previous update - Spinning propeller looks a bit better now - Fixed kp/h typo - Added option to offset stick overlay so it's visible when cropping to 16:9

- Fixed low PID authority, causing heavy drones or high rates to feel very sluggish

- Added support for MacOS

- Added realistic crash and collision physics - Added Turtle mode
