Update 1.6.15 released!

[p] Some time ago, we shared our vision of Liftoff evolving from a simulator we build for you into one you can completely shape yourself. Today, we’re taking another step toward that future with the launch of the OSD Editor. [/p][p][/p][h2]Changelist[/h2]

Pimp My HUD[/h2][p]Now you decide how your On-Screen Display looks and feels: pick the elements you need, choose their colors, and place them wherever you like. Go for a razor-sharp pro racer setup or unleash something totally off-the-wall.[/p][p]And here’s where it gets fun: every layout can be shared on the Steam Workshop.[/p][p][/p][p]That means you won’t just be downloading cool ideas, you’ll probably stumble across some of the most brilliant, ridiculous, and downright unhinged layouts you never knew you needed.
