🎅 Devlog #4 - Christmas Update, Throttle Tweaks & Virtual Controller

ACRODRIFT: FPV Drone Simulator · published 10 Dec 2025, 14:56 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

We're back with another update to the Acrodrift demo, bringing both new control options and more customization for your flight feel.

Whether you're testing builds, pushing your limits, or just starting out — this one's for you.

🧪 New Rate Profile Parameters


For those who like to fine-tune their throttle response, we've added:

  • Throttle Expo – Adjusts stick sensitivity around the midpoint
  • Throttle Mid – Sets the midpoint for expo shaping
  • Throttle Limit – Caps your maximum throttle output


These new options are available per Rate Profile, so you can experiment with different setups and switch between them easily.

🎮 Virtual Controller – Fly Using Your Phone!


We’ve released a new experimental mobile app that turns your phone into a wireless controller!
Perfect if you don’t have a physical transmitter handy or want to try flying on the go.

Go to Options → Controls → Advanced → Virtual Controller to adjust the default setup and learn more about how it works.

✋ Note: This is an experimental feature and may take some getting used to — flying with a phone is a very different experience!

🎄 Christmas Update – Gift Hunt Challenges


The snow may not have arrived yet, but the presents definitely have!
We've added two new christmas-themed challenges, where your task is to fly across the map and find hidden presents. 🎅

One challenge is easy, perfect for a relaxing hunt. The second is trickier, with gifts hidden in much more difficult spots. Precision flying and sharp eyes required!

🎁 These challenges will be available until January 10, so make sure to check them out before they’re gone!

💬 Did you manage to collect all the presents? Let us know in the comments — we’d love to hear it!

Thank you for your support, and see you soon in the air!

Best regards,
Dueking Studio
