Big Update Vol.25 - Total optimization, Lighting, HUD, Map
Hello Pilots, A new update was released. Thank you all for the support, ideas, and help with development.
At this time we were focused on the optimization, hud HUD components, and lightning. The main problem with freezing was the moment of the game save. Right now the game will save the progress only in the hangar, trading zone, and landing.
Another request from the players was advanced setups of the hud.
additional display of altitude next to the landing camera

Saving the game (exiting the trade, hangar, exiting the game),

Ahoj, Pilots. We went through your wishlist and decided to make a VR version of the game (middle or end of the summer). We are curious how do you see VR in our game and what functions have to be in it. Please write your answers in the comments and explain why do you want your suggested functionality. Best, FPS Team
FPS community discussions - participate
Ahoj Pilots,
Thank you all for participating in the yearly survey. Our team highlighted 2 issues:
In what units should the flight parameters be displayed on the HUD? (ex. flight altitude - feet, etc.)
What are 11 and 12 point? Please fully explain what it is and how does it work? (screenshots, web pages are welcome)
Please write down your answers in the comments.
Best, FPS team
Big Update Vol.24 - Total optimization, Lighting
Hello Pilots, A new update was released. Thank you all for the support, ideas, and help with development.
At this time we were focused on the optimization and glitches. The main problem was HUD, parking camera, and moment of the game save. HUD and Parking camera were perfectly optimized. Game save glitches will be fixed in the next update.
Another request from the players was lighting on the bases. Have a look at what we have done.
As we promise a few months before, small burds next to the nests will protect their homes. Becarfelu they ll attack you.
We also didn't forget about achievements funs. 23 achievements added to the game. Will see how active you are:)

Hello, pilots! Welcome to your Wednesday news, I'm Lara White.
Our major news today comes to us from Astlan, where the Raglor research department has detected more new creatures! One, which looks similar to a whale from back on Earth, has been spotted off the coast of Astlan Island. Another creature, which has been named “Drako,” has also been spotted flying around in the upper atmospheric layers, so pilots are warned to be careful at higher altitudes.
And more great news comes from Raglor, where Nord Corporation has launched their first ocean tanker after just a few years of construction.
Nord Corporation has also produced a new onboard system for Frontier Pilots, which will be installed on each pilot’s ship, free of charge!
Finally, in our last headline today, the Raglor meteorological station has detected changes in the planet's atmosphere, which are causing anomalous phenomena. According to the MCC, these occurrences will be observable during both day and night, for the foreseeable future.
And as always, additional news related to general life on the planet is displayed on your screens.
That's all the news for today, I’ve been Lara White. I hope you all have a good one, and I’ll see you next week!

Tip and tricks for getting the most out of Frontier Pilot Simulator
Hi Pilots,
After scanning through steam discussions and discord channels, we realized that some of the players getting lost in the game and can not take 100% of the fun from the game. That why our team and loyal community players (Thank you guys) create gamepedia page with tips and tricks for newcomers.
Hello, pilots Welcome to your Wednesday news, I'm Lara White, and am back from vacation.
First up today we're traveling to Astlan: Raglor research department has detected a new creature. No other information has been provided, but our journalist made a video of it. Hopefully next week we'll find out more information about this animal.
Another big news for today from Ship software development department: I have some great news for all frontier pilots from a reliable source. Software department working on ship soft which reduces the load on the ship's systems and provide a better picture for ship screens (without glitches and lugging)
Get back to the Astlan: The meteorological department informs about climate changes on the planet. Few more weeks and here will hot as in hell (possible fires throughout the Astlan territory). In cooperation with the Research department, the government starts the development of the fire-extinguishing systems.
That's all for today. Enjoy your day. Your Lara White.
