Thank you for the list! I will add it to my list of suggestions and consider it for future updates.
Viewing post in List of requests to the developer for January 2025 :)
Hello again! :) Sorry for being so annoying... )) I never tire of admiring the program :) Oh, it's just a pity that the desert from the Classic version is not in the Recharged one. Honestly, I like it better. And it would probably be even better if there were two variants: just with sand and gates - for beginners, and with rocks - for experienced flyers :) But then, I'm afraid that the size of the program will increase and will not fit into the Ubuntu limit (if there is one, I don't know, I'm an absolute layman in such matters).
I also noticed this thing... When you finish a race (flight) in the level editor and go back to the list of levels, you ALWAYS end up somewhere at the beginning of this list. Although, in my opinion, it would be more logical if you were on the same level where you flew. And then, at will, you go up or down the list, and fly again ))
By the way, following your advice, I scoured the entire Internet, found and downloaded a bunch of levels (HUGE thanks to those enthusiasts who took the time to do them). Now I have a pretty impressive, long list ))
But I can't do it myself yet. I can't even understand how to edit (again, on your advice). Of course, I read the instructions... But... It's obvious that I'm such a clumsy person ))) I need to look for videos on this topic. And they should be thorough. And what I found - everything is shown at such a fast pace that it's unclear: what and where to click-move.
With respect, Dan.
Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! Regarding the level editor, it's probably easiest if you start small - start by loading an existing level and just play around by moving some objects a bit. Maybe try to delete some stuff. As long as you save the level with a new name you don't have to worry about messing things up. I think after a while you will find that the level editing is pretty easy, it can even be fun in itself :)
Maybe this video can be a good starting point:
By the way, I also noticed something else... In the first, classic, versions of the program, the camera tilt angle is adjusted as if it is on top of the device, like in tiny whoops. Now, in a later, different version, Recharged, it is adjusted as if it is below, in suspension )))
Another suggestion arises... Two small windows (one for the top, the other for the bottom), you can check only one of them, making a choice, and then adjust the tilt angle.
I think, in this way, you will anticipate the preferences of all users ;)
Probably, I have already gotten to you with my suggestions and observations... ))
I hope that you will not be offended, but will understand my activity ;)
Best wishes, Dan.
So, several days have passed since I bought, downloaded and installed this simulator. And although at first I had to tinker a little with the drone settings (especially since I am an absolute layman in this - I have never flown such devices in reality, and have not even held them in my hands, and in general, I have only seen them in pictures and photographs :)) ), but since then my soul and body have been resting in this game! A big, just a huge, thank you, John - for your idea, your work, and patiently bringing it to perfection! Pleasant to the eye graphics (soft, light, dark, and even bright (such as the sun's rays through the clouds) tones), smooth and calm movements, without jerks (although, when necessary, you can speed up ;) ) ... You fly, soar ... If you want - like a swallow or a swift (true, you quickly get tired of such speed, you can get carried away :)) ), if you want - like an eagle or an owl. Here - you really feel like a bird, and you are not afraid of falling at all!!! And although I do not have VR glasses, and my remote control is not an app, but the simplest and cheapest (Chinese, maybe even Malaysian :)) ) PS3 gamepad. But thanks to the convenient settings, you can, in fact, just sit down at the screen, launch the location you like most (by the way, as the Bible says, seek and ye shall find - I searched and found many other maps (special thanks to the enthusiasts for this)), and fly - relaxing, throwing off all the routine accumulated during the day. I am from a small country far away from you all, Azerbaijan. I am writing these lines in Russian ... I do not speak English perfectly, but I really hope that the translator program will correctly translate (convey) all my gratitude to the author of this idea! To you, dear John... :) May God grant you health, strength, and long years of life in happiness!
Sincerely, Dan.
Thank you for your kind words and wishes!
It is feedback like this that makes all the hours I put into the development worthwhile. Yes, fpv drones can indeed give a feeling of being able to fly like a bird. Or, like some of us dreamed when we were little kids, to have a magic carpet that can take us up in the air.
And yes, the translation works perfect :)
Wish you happy flying!
