New Year's greetings and announcement of new features

We hope you had a fantastic holiday season and are ready to tackle the new year with all the excitement and determination it brings.

Over the past year, we have been hard at work on some major updates and improvements for the game. We have listened to your feedback and have implemented a number of new features and content that we believe will greatly enhance your gaming experience.

As we look back on the past year, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue creating simulator that bring joy and entertainment to players around the world. We are constantly inspired by the passion and support of our community, and we look forward to continuing to create and innovate in the year ahead.

FPV.SkyDive update v1.5 + New Map

Orqa presents a new Racecourse map, bringing exciting new features! Racecourse map opens the possibility of practicing on a large open area next to the river, forest and the hippodrome.



The map also features environment sounds and, for the first time, water effects! The new map will be updated over time with additional objects and animations! It offers 4 brand-new tracks specifically optimized for FPV Pilots.

The stadium map and all tracks from the stadium are temporarily removed from the simulator. Racecourse also becomes map that is used in Training.

The new update includes:
- New Racecourse map with 4 racing tracks
- Fixed problem where multiple number of batches in maps led to poor performance
- LZ4 build compression, enabling reduced simulator size
- New analog video effect (Camera Noise)
- Map borders fix
- Track fix on Midnight Airport DLC Map
- Refactored Reset option that resets map faster
- Minor changes in Video Settings

WARNING: A somewhat lower performance on the Racecourse map is possible in the initial phases of release. The overall performance will, however, be improved in the upcoming updates.

Also, we advise you to use the new analog effect with Resolution scaler above 0.7 for a better look.
