Players of Liftoff have undoubtedly noticed Ukraine listed as one of our new partners in the startup screen of the game. This partnership is not some random political statement, but a reflection of the true alliance we've been cultivating since February last year.

Our partnership with Ukrainians has been a two-way street. We have supported various educational organizations in establishing drone schools throughout Ukraine. We’ve provided them with our expertise and technology. They have helped us establish connections and even volunteered to translate Liftoff into Ukrainian.

We're happy to announce that Liftoff is now available in Ukrainian, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Ukrainian SBT Localization team. Over the past months, they've worked diligently to translate over 12,000 words, a feat made even more impressive by the challenges posed by regular blackouts resulting from attacks on civilian infrastructure. We are incredibly grateful to the SBT Localization team for their hard work and dedication.



The Ukrainian language can now be selected in the the game options or through the "Getting started" menu, offering you a chance to try out a first version of the translation (95% complete) that will be further improved and expanded in future updates.

• Added: Ukrainian as a supported language. Some aspects are still untranslated and will de displayed in English.
  
• Fixed: When finishing a freestyle session while performing a sustained stunt (lawn mower or dive), the audio cue would keep playing.
  
• Fixed: The level selection background for the Surtur Night Fever environment did not fit well on screen.
  

[h2]Changelist v1.5.3[/h2]

• Added: custom music playlists now support .mp3 files.
  
• Optimised: synchronising data in multiplayer is a little more efficient now.
  
• Fixed: a race replay would not sync up the recordings properly.
  
• Fixed: race ghosts would spawn and start a little too far ahead.
  
• Fixed: could not view another player's drone configuration in multiplayer.
  
• Fixed: custom music playlists not working.
  
• Fixed: entering a path for custom music playlists now starts playing if it's a valid folder path.
  
• Fixed: some small memory leaks while fetching leaderboards.
  
• Fixed: saving a recording before taking off would cause some internal errors.
  

Wishing you a pot of gold this St. Patrick's Day.

Find 5 pots of gold in a single environment during this event and unlock the "Leprechaun Madness" achievement. Pro tip: rainbows are a lucky charm! ;)

May every petal on the shamrock bring you joy and good luck.
