[h2]Changelist[/h2] [list][*] Added a "special" version of the popular [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-RneeoJmYs]TanQ[/url] frame by Let's Fly RC. [*] Updated the multiplayer to support 8 players in a game. [*] Updated the multiplayer network activity to be more efficient and adjust dynamically based on the amount of active players. [*] Updated the multiplayer so that players experience less loadings and down time. [*] Multiplayer game settings can be updated while in-game by the game's host, and players will reload directly into the game's updated settings without having to go back to the game's lobby. [*] In multiplayer, the new game settings window also shows the game's chat window so that the host can discuss the changes. [*] In multiplayer, players can select their drone setup while in-game. For Classic Race and Dropout Race, the drone setup can be changed in the finish screen. [*] In multiplayer, the Classic Race and Dropout Race game modes no longer require the host to start the game and can now be started by any player. [*] Updated multiplayer infinite race game mode to stall Liftoff Pro experience events until the player resets the drone as to not disturb or interrupt while flying. [*] Updated the drone HUD in multiplayer spectator and in replay to show the drone's speed and altitude as well as the horizon axis. [*] Updated the content layout to optimize freeing memory when leaving a level. [*] Added A.I. opponents for the official Permafrost races. [*] Added a build identifier in the game version to the main menu. [*] Added Ukrainian translation for the new tutorial. Thank you SBT Localization team. [/list] [h2]TanQ 2[/h2] Let's Fly RC wanted one thing out of his new frame more than anything else, and that's for it to survive any and all damage. Of course, we all know nothing does that better than a tank. This new frame is made to be the most rugged you could find, and it succeeds. The TanQ in Liftoff is extra special, because it presents the first look at the brand new version 2 of the frame. Try it out in Liftoff first! [i]"Somebody said something to me today at kwads and coffee when I was talking about the release of the TanQ in Liftoff. They joked that God mode should be the default setting because the TanQ is indestructible! Found it hilarious!

Take a look at the results.

Always on the lookout to offer our Liftoff drone simulator experience in new ways, we're thrilled to present our initial proof-of-concept demo video for a potential Liftoff XR experience designed for Meta Quest 3.

Should we make this available for everyone to try?
