Huge thanks to @bertrand.lhopitault for the bug report !

New Features
- Editor : Drag Box selection
- Editor: geometric forms ( choose the textures in the properties)
- Drone Model Upload : it is now possible to use your own .png file for the workshop preview.
Fixes
- Fixed an invisible wall in Lost bando (thanks Janek)
- Fixed some situation where the quad would pass through an object/wall. (e.g, on the diving tube on Lost Bando)
- Updating a scenery on the Workshop now correctly update the scenery for people already subscribed.
Community news
- Awesome edit by Bertrand FPV on his own track :
- Arridi updated his wonderful Pantheon map. He also published a night version
For some new stuff to fly, everyone should check the amazing map by Method !
New (Editor)
- Search box in track objects list
- New option in contextual menu to select ALL same objects, even if not in view
- Added possibility to delete user 3D objects from the sim. In the track editor, simply right-click on the 3D object tile to show the contextual menu. It is intended for users iterating on 3d object import (if e.g the scale is wrong and you re-import).
For objects downloaded from the workshop, unsubscribing the tracks or scenes using it will unsubscribe (and then delete) the 3d objects too, if they are not used in another track.
Improvements
- Improved performance for tracks and sceneries with custom 3d objects
- Improved .obj textures import, now a bit more robust. In case of doubt, simply put your textures files (.png, .jpeg) in the same folder as the .obj file before importing in AiDroneSim.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug occurring while importing some .fbx meshes
- Fixed an issue with PS5 controllers.
- Fixed some other minor issues.
- Improved runtime performance on custom tracks & sceneries
- Improved editor load time
- Improved Memory usage in editor
- Fixed a crash occurring on macOS when launching some custom tracks.
- macOS : fixed an issue where some display settings were not saved properly.
- Anti-aliasing is now TAA-based, most notable for improved foliage.
New Models
Everyone likes whoops, at least when the weather is terrible. Most Whoops Flights Controllers don't have integrated memory for blackbox, so there was a lack of whoops models, even in the Workshop.
Therefore we got some whoops, soldered OpenLager cards on them, and flew them hard to get good blackbox data.
The result is two new whoop models in the presets :
- CineWhoop : Beta95X v3 HD. (without external camera)
- 2S whoop : TinyHawk II Micro.
In the future we will try to blackbox more whoops (racing ones...), but for the time being we hope these models will produce a good base for further modifications in order to get to your desired whoop model.
Tip
Some big maps are also good for Whoops, like the Truck Factory.
Misc

Check the new Tower Crane for some quick, good fun. - Items with scalable textures
Items in "Ground" and "Wall" categories have scalable texture. Size them to 1000% and it should not be too ugly.
It's faster and way better for performance when making buildings, etc. - Tip : it's fine to have objects colliding and obstructing each other... but superimposed planes are really bad for performance, and cause flicker. Try to minimize these when possible.
Misc
- Grass got removed on Medieval Castle. There was too much flickering, and the grass was ugly from afar top-down. We will probably add a better looking but still performant grass in the future.
- Gamma are now constrained to reasonable values.
- Tip : do not forget to take a screenshot (click the photo button in top-left panel) before sharing a track or scenery. It will appear on Steam Workshop.
Fixes for known issues
- Black screen when launching a map ?
It's because of Gamma in the Display settings. Set it to 1.
If you still have strange display issues, start from scratch by deleting all the files in :
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\RealFPV_proto2\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor - My BetaFPV radio worked three weeks ago but not now ?
You need to redo the radio setup one time.
Do the same as first time, e.g by clicking on Generic USB controller Axis 3 to re-assign axis :

First, activate it :

Then do the game setup :
