Our Discord community[discord.gg] helped identify some quirks with a few of the recently added propellers that allowed for ultra-fast performance. Thanks to their feedback, this update brings everything back in balance for an even better flying experience.

• Fixed an issue where some propellers didn't get properly included in the drag baking process, resulting in faster than expected drone setups. Affected propellers are: DJI FPV Propellers, Gemfan Hurricane 51466-3 MCK V2, Gemfan Freestyle 4S and Gemfan Vannystyle 5136-3

In that same Discord server, we recently asked the community how they’d feel about a potential reset of the in-game multiplayer leaderboards. Based on those conversations and early poll results, the general consensus is clear: most are in favor. A reset promises a fresh competitive wave, giving today’s top pilots a chance to shine and offering everyone a clean slate to climb.

With nearly a decade of racing behind us, it feels like the right moment to spotlight the current generation of players. To support this new chapter, an upcoming update for Liftoff FPV will introduce a soft reset of the multiplayer leaderboards. From that point on, visible rankings in multiplayer lobbies will reflect newly earned records only. Even more exciting: each leaderboard entry will now include a flight recording, allowing players to view, analyze, and learn from each top run, including the setup used to achieve it.

To honor the past, all legacy leaderboard data will remain available in a dedicated section of the leaderboard menu. And rest assured, this reset will not affect personal bests in offline single-player modes, nor will it impact the Liftoff Pro League rankings.

Because this soft reset will impact all active players, we’d love to hear from the Steam community before moving forward. Your input truly matters.

After years of requests, we’re finally doing it, introducing "Improved Walk Mode"! 👣

That’s right! Experience the thrill of true-to-life pilot movement as you slowly walk to the perfect liftoff spot! Navigate complex environments, hunt down your crashed drone (replacing the reset function), and swap out LiPos by hand, just like in real life. You wanted realism? We’re taking it to the next level.

Features include:
✅ Full-body motion capture (via your webcam… kind of)
✅ New ‘Trip and Fall’ physics for ultimate realism
✅ Battery Carry Challenge – how many can you hold at once?
✅ More tall grass in levels, making your crashed drone nearly impossible to find—just like real life!

Say goodbye to flying-only, Liftoff is all about taking FPV back to its roots: the ground.



Our Walk Mode is currently in beta testing and can be unlocked in two ways:

💰 Hit the donate button in-game to access it instantly.
🪙 Or, for the budget-conscious pilots, collect 100 in-game crypto coins hidden throughout the levels.

Your choice, support innovation or embrace the grind!
