FPV Battleground: Combat Drone Simulator news & patch notes

Hello, pilots!

We're back with an update for you, not just news.

In this patch, we focused on improving the game's stability and fixed several bugs that affected normal flight. We also improved the UI. There’s still more to do, but we won’t be going anywhere.

That’s not all. We’re starting a series of collaborations, and the first one is available now:

Supporter Pack: Nord Division. Half of each purchase goes directly to the Nord Division. This is your chance to support real people while you play.

There’s more coming soon, so get ready.

Thank you to everyone who is with us. Your support is the fuel that drives this project forward.

Glory to Ukraine!

• All-New Visuals and Atmosphere — The map has received modern models, textures, and lighting, making the environment much more realistic and engaging.
• Expanded Anti-Drone Net Zone — The coverage of nets on the roads has been significantly increased, adding a new layer of tactical challenge.
• Improved Terrain — We've changed the geometry, adding more cover and natural obstacles to increase the variety of combat situations.

• Critical flying vehicle bug fixes — We've fixed all known errors that led to incorrect vehicle behavior on maps! Your tech should now perform exactly as intended.
• Vehicle Count Rebalance — We've reviewed the limits and placement of vehicles on all existing maps to ensure fairer and more dynamic engagements.

This roadmap represents our current development trajectory and may be updated to reflect evolving project requirements and community needs.

Hello, pilots! We are pleased to present a fresh update on the FPV Battleground. New mission and air combat: New map with aerial targets. A new location has been added where your primary targets will move aerial threats. Now every decision and every maneuver matters! A new drone model has been developed for this mission, ideally suited for intercepting and destroying targets in the air. Improvements to the interface and gaming experience: Updated mission selection interface: We have redesigned the screen to make it more intuitive and informative. A realistic visual noise/interference system has been added, which significantly enhances the immersion effect and adds challenge when flying at the edge of the radio horizon. Map and environment updates: The factory area on the second map has been significantly redesigned and improved—new objects, cover, and updated details open up fresh tactical opportunities. We continue to improve the game's visual component by updating several 3D models for greater realism.
 We appreciate your support and feedback! Your activity helps us make FPV Battleground even more realistic and exciting. Leave your suggestions - together we can reach new heights!
