The StickMover is a training device that helps you learn new tricks, and it's now integrated with Liftoff! The StickMover looks like a normal remote control, but instead of controlling a quad, the StickMover guides you step by step through a trick or move. As you track the flight on the screen, your fingers are actively moving in the right direction. By watching and feeling you learn intuitively. The StickMover will activate when you spectate another player in Multiplayer or watch replays in the Pro League tournaments.

A large part of our community consists of Mac users. We want to notify everyone about a recent reveal by Valve.

Starting on January 1 2019, Steam will officially stop supporting macOS versions 10.7 ("Lion"), 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), 10.9 ("Mavericks") and 10.10 ("Yosemite"). This means that after that date the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of macOS. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of macOS.
