FPV Sim 1.3.0: Plugins

Plugins: change anything in the game with JavaScript. New Plugins tab: add .js files, turn them on and off, try the examples. How to make one: https://guyka2212.github.io/fpv-sim/plugins.html

• Plugins can add on-screen text and panels, menu tabs, Settings sections, shortcuts, 3D objects and sounds; change the physics (thrust, drag, gravity, top speed, battery), the game speed and the camera; fly the drone through the sticks (autopilots); and react to tricks, crashes, chat and other pilots.
• Plugin shortcuts can be changed in Settings → Plugin shortcuts, to any key or controller button.
• Servers can allow or block plugins (server 1.2.0: allow-plugins, allowed-plugins). Plugins a server doesn't allow are paused while you're on it.
• Example plugins included: Speed HUD, Moon Gravity, Ring Race, Flight Stats.

FPV Sim 1.2.2

• New: corner mini map while flying. It turns with the drone and shows the start; in multiplayer every other pilot is a dot in their own random colour. Settings → On-screen display: show or hide it, pick a corner and a size.
• Fixed: multiplayer chat. After pressing T, the chat often wouldn't open again and keys held while it opened stayed stuck down.
• Fixed: dropdown lists (like the drone picker in the lobby) showed light text on a white background; they're dark now.

FPV Sim 1.2.1

Performance update.

• Big maps are split into areas so the parts behind the camera aren't drawn; frame times are the same or lower on every map.
• Much lower memory use (up to 533 MB before, now about 80–230 MB): map data is freed once it's on the graphics card, collision and water data are stored compactly, and only the last 2 maps you flew are kept in memory (1 on Android).
• Fewer small allocations while flying, for smoother frames.

FPV Sim 1.2.0

A longer, richer Flight Path.

Windows: FPV-Sim-Setup.exe · Android 8+: FPV-Sim.apk. Both install over earlier versions.

New

• 10 more drones (35 in total, 30 to unlock): Whoop 65 Pro, Micro Freestyle 2.5", Trainer 3", Hybrid-X 5", Carbon Blade 5", Long Range 6" Mountain, Freestyle 7" Bando Basher, Heavy Lifter 10", Long Range 13" Endurance and the level-50 Titan 5" Prototype.
• 12 more skins (31 in total): Stealth, Mint, Pumpkin, Hazard, Fire Engine, Sakura, Royal, Copper, Matrix, Aurora, Rose Gold and Sapphire.

Changed

• Levelling is much harder: level 50 needs 853,335 XP, and at most 120,000 XP counts per day (resets at midnight UTC), so completing the Flight Path takes at least a week. The Flight Path tab shows how much XP you can still earn today.
• All unlocks are re-spread over the 50 levels. Anything you already claimed stays yours.
• Balance (XP curve, daily limit, trick points, unlock levels) now comes from the online database, so it can be tuned without another update.

FPV Sim 1.1.1

User names can now contain |, for example Clan | Pilot or Guy|FPV (2 to 20 characters: letters, numbers, space, . _ - |). Works in sign-up, Settings and multiplayer.

Also fixed: the "name taken" check now ignores capitals, so "clan | pilot" shows as taken when "Clan | Pilot" exists (before, sign-up failed with an unclear error).

Windows: FPV-Sim-Setup.exe · Android 8+: FPV-Sim.apk. Both install over earlier versions.
Servers: run the installer again to update (needed for names with |): https://guyka2212.github.io/flysim-servers/
