FPV Air Tracks

Lap recording, best laptimes, Prop coloring, 32bit support
I've just added a lap recording feature. Once you complete a track ever other time you start that same track a recorded quad will fly around matching your best run of that course. Your best laptime should also now we recorded and visible on the TAB/scoreboard menu.

It's also now possible to choose the color of your propellors

32bit Support being temporarily removed
The latest version of FPV Air Tracks has had some bugs that will cause crashing when playing multiplayer, these crashes are caused by some outdated third-party code used to read in controller input to the game.
We are replacing this with the newly released equivalent made by Epic Games but currently Epic have not made thier Raw Input plugin work with 32bit builds, so we will not be supporting 32bit platforms untill Epic fix this bug and we are able to upload a new builds supporting both architectures.

I hope this doesn't cause too much distress and that Epic games will fix the bug soon.

FPV Air Tracks Transitioning to Free to Play
FPV Air Tracks is a project that I really want to develop further but support for the game development has slowed. In an effort to gain new players and new support for the game we are planning to open the gates and make the game free to download and play.
This transition should take effect in aproximately one week on or about March 3rd 2017.

Keep an ear out and be ready to get your friends involved when the cost of entry disapears!

Free Demo now Live & Improvements to game
I have updated the main game client to try to further improve the flight physics.
Anyone who has had difficulty using the track editor should now be happy to find that there has been added track validation hints which explain how to perform certain functions and also what requirement are yet to be met on the current track being built.

I am also announcing the release of a free demo, available through the Steam store page, this should allow anyone who is thinking of buying in to FPV Air Tracks to experience the game for free first. Please share it with anyone who might be interested.

The demo features only the go-kart track and doesn't allow for multiplayer or track building.

Name Change
There have been many complaints about the name "Drone Racing" as being generic and impossible to search on google or anywhere else.
I've come to agree with this criticism and have decided to change the name.

So we're going to try calling the game "FPV Air Tracks". Hopefully this will allow for the huge new update that's coming soon to be more easily talked about

Coming Soon: Updated Physics & Level Builder
I've been working on making the flight physics more realistic and also adding in a level builder to Drone Racing

Ultimately I would one day hope to have levels able to be shared between users quickly and easily within the game and the Steam workshop.

Stay tuned for updates and post in the discussion group if you have any ideas

Update Notes: 25th May 2016
-Fixed bug which would always reset quad LED colors to black

Update Notes: 24th May 2016
-Added a "Next Gate" marker on the HUD, leading to the next gate in the sequence. Hopefully that helps people figure out the order

Update Notes: 16th May 2016
-Skinned all the UI to look nice
-Fixed the bug keeping people from spawning after changing map
-Fixed bug getting people locked in the "first time set-up" menu
-Added self-levelling option to settings for beginner pilots
-Added special zones around leaves/branches in race-relevant places which will give the quad extreme turbulence, this will likely make 'Forest' a much more challenging track
-Updated the crash sound effect to be a bit cooler
-Added sound effects to buttons/UI

Sorry for leaving the game totally broken last weekend, it shouldn't happen again.
