LuGus Studios, creators of the Liftoff™ drone simulator series, and world-renowned drone manufacturer DJI are teaming up to bring the ultimate FPV drone experience to Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing.

As part of a temporary Downloadable Content pack (DLC), the DJI FPV drone and related products are made available to download and fly in the virtual skies of the Liftoff™ world. This optional DLC is completely free for anyone with a copy of Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing on Steam.

The DJI FPV system is a flagship product line created by drone technology innovator DJI. Their new DJI FPV drone system combines the power of first person drone flying with their established hi-tech camera systems. They have achieved this through an unparalleled commitment to R&D, a culture of constant innovation and curiosity, and a focus on transforming complex technology into easy-to-use devices.

The team at LuGus Studios will honor those achievements by providing an equally powerful and easy-to-use digital twin. In Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing, DJI FPV fans can now practice flying in normal and manual mode in a safe simulated environment.

Due to ongoing events in Europe, we have decided to update the name of the "Russian Woodpecker" environment to simply "The Woodpecker". Being set in Ukraine, we felt this was an appropriate name change. We have also decided to stop the ongoing tournament in that level, called "Radio Active" earlier than originally planned. Thanks for understanding.

Our thoughts go out to the people affected by these events.

• Fixed: 'Undo' and 'Reset to default' buttons in the Flight Controller Settings menu didn't do anything.
  
• Fixed: Some drone parts could be built with the wrong skin applied to them.
  
• Updated: 'The Russian Woodpecker' environment has been renamed to 'The Woodpecker'.
  

Preparing for some of the next big updates, 1.4.4 irons out a few kinks still standing. Thank you for your feedback!
