The development team has been grinding to bring you a new Onboarding mode, a new Search & Destroy game play mode, a DRL Pilot flight mode, upgraded Replay system, and an irresistible new Mega City map with three (3) brand new tracks! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29022929/1826cb3e0bc1762801b50d6628102acd1cb3518d.jpg The new Mega City map features a futuristic metropolis where users can navigate the city from above the skyline, around and inside of massive high rise buildings and architectural landmarks, through city streets and urban parks, down through underground highways, through a monorail station and even into a multi-level underground subway station. While this map is addictive to fly in Freestyle mode, we've included expert-designed Basic, Medium, and Hard tracks to accompany this new map; Let's see who can stay atop the Leaderboards on these fresh tracks! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29022929/7b0dde8e8a5170570b110d3c9737d5d7f51defb8.jpg The new Search & Destroy game mode provides a fun and satisfying gameplay experience of destroying target balloons by flying into them. Target balloons of various shapes and sizes are strategically and creatively placed throughout the DRL Sim signature Campground map, along with "danger" balloons that must be avoided, empowering newer pilots with a fun way to level up their skills to begin competing on the more challenging race courses. For experienced pilots, Search & Destroy provides a fresh game experience for fine tuning their stick coordination for precision drone control, while also introducing new leaderboards to grind by attempting to "pop" all target balloons in the shortest amount of time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29022929/74eda0d951e3d439278143ea412f5026e3a3ebde.jpg The new Onboarding game flow guides newer pilots through a series of progressive training missions and instruction. Pilots will start Onboarding training in an assisted flight Beginner mode completing nine (9) Onboarding missions culminating in a race before progressing to Intermediate, a partially assisted Onboarding flight mode, consisting of 10 missions culminating in another race. Finally, in Onboarding Pro Mode, pilots will fly unassisted (training wheels completely off) for three (3) races that must be won in sequence to complete Onboarding flight training! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29022929/929b7243fe000c583dfda3872c45653ef3f09277.jpg The DRL Racer4 is now upgraded to include a throttle cap and battery resistance, with an optional damage setting, to match the setup used by professional DRL pilots during Virtual Season Levels. This allows users to truly train like the pros! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/29022929/c761c27bcbedfd7e190d5c5512060e709ee9850c.jpg This release also unleashes an updated Replay system that uses less RAM while supporting longer Replay recordings.

We start off with two features that have been highly requested - Offline mode and a Favorite System. Yes, you can now play the sim offline when you are traveling or don’t have an internet connection. You can also now put all of your favorite tracks in a single folder, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple menus in between races to find the track you want to race. Next, we bring you a custom bot feature and bot improvements. For the custom bot feature, you can now race against any player you want from the leaderboard. You can build a field of up to 5 pilots to race against with the new “custom” option in solo race. For the bot improvements, we bring you a default of racing against DRL Racer 4 bots. In the past, you would get matched up against drones from all classes so we wanted to make the competition more even by default. We are still going strong here with the features as we bring you an achievement system on Steam. You now have 15 achievements that you can earn. You will earn badges based on the achievements you earn. We also bring you a new track called the Foundry Circuit on Boston Foundry. The monster release would not be complete without one more major feature. It is our experience points system. You will earn a level over the course of all of your flying based on the tracks you fly (Each DRL track now shows XP and you earn more XP for multiplayer races). You will also earn streak points for every day when you fly 3 DRL tracks. No experience points system would be complete without a badge system, which is reset every week. You can find more details in the sim under “About XP.” Please note that this is in beta and will be adjusted on our next release based on findings. Since we are launching on a Thursday, the weekly ranking (with badges) will reset on Monday as Monday marks the start of the new week. Please let us know your thoughts. We always appreciate your feedback and are thankful for the engaged community we have that always pushes us further to deliver the best sim we can.
