Dear community,

FPV SkyDive just got a fix that addresses the most critical technical issues some of you have been experiencing since launch.

We are deeply sorry for the frustration these issues have caused. Our priority is always to deliver a smooth and enjoyable experience, and we hate knowing that we let some of you down at launch.

Thank you so much for your patience, your detailed bug reports, and for sticking with us while we worked around the clock to get this fix out.

Until now, the full FPV experience usually required a dedicated controller or a radio transmitter. While we’ve always supported controllers and keyboards, we felt it was time to push the boundaries of accessibility even further.

Today, we are thrilled to introduce Revolutionary Mouse-Based Flight Controls! Accessible through Controls settings menu.

We’ve completely re-engineered how you interact with the drone. You are no longer limited to just sticks or keys. By integrating the mouse into our flight physics, we’ve opened the FPV physics to every PC gamer on the planet.

Four New Ways to Play

Depending on your style, you can now choose from four distinct "no-controller" setups that mimic the traditional dual-stick experience:

• Mouse Only: A pure, fluid way to steer using motion-based flight.

• Keyboard + Mouse: The classic PC setup—Keyboard handles the left stick (Throttle/Yaw), Mouse handles the right (Pitch/Roll).

• Mouse + Keyboard: The hybrid flip—Mouse on the left stick, Keyboard on the right.

• Keyboard Only: For those who want to master the skies using pure digital inputs.

Channel mapping

Underneath the input profile settings new layout of action/channel map/axes can be found. New layout offers simple and clean design of most important part of calibration.

Additional keyboard/mouse settings (enable/disable):

New profiles are offering additional settings to make your flight with keyboard or/and mouse more fun or simple:

• Sticky throttle

• Virtual mouse

• Mouse yaw

• Mouse throttle

• MacBook mode

Detail description is available in controls settings.

Preview

With the preview function you will be able to see how the drone interacts with the assigned axes. Preview mode will also work for controllers (gamepads and RCs).

Why this changes everything?

This isn't just a "simplified" mode; it's a new way to feel the drone's physics. Whether you are traveling and don't have your radio with you, or you're a newcomer wanting to try FPV before buying hardware, these schemes allow for high-speed precision and immersive maneuvers.

We are encouraging you to try new controls and let us know on our discord what controls scheme you are using and what is your new favourite one.

Greetings, Pilots!

We have been working tirelessly to make FPV SkyDive more accessible to everyone. Our mission for this year is simple: to break the barriers of entry and let anyone experience the thrill of flight. Today, we are proud to finally bring that vision to life with our completely revamped Intro module.

Step-by-Step Mastery

The new intro is divided into structured sections designed to guide you through the core flight mechanics with ease:

• Input Calibration: Learn about the device you are using, calibrate it, and get ready to fly.

• 3rd-Person Visualization: Each section features a 3rd-person camera view, allowing you to see exactly how the drone physically reacts to your specific inputs.

• Mini Exercises: Complete focused tasks to master the fundamentals of throttle, yaw, and pitch.

• Choose Your Path: Once you finish the intro, jump straight into Free Flight for total freedom, or head to Flight School to further sharpen your professional skills.

New Scene: The Mountain Forest

To make your first steps truly memorable, we have prepared a stunning new Mountain Forest environment. It’s a beautiful, serene location where FPV flight feels exactly like it belongs.

No FPV Controller? No Problem!

We know that not everyone has an FPV radio or a controller ready to go. To solve this, we’ve developed four new ways to fly using only your keyboard or game pad, mimicking the traditional FPV controller dual-stick experience.

We believe these new options will help you stick with the simulator; with increased accessibility, you can finally discover all the thrills that FPV SkyDive has to offer and feel how the drone reacts to our refined keyboard and mouse control schemes!

Find more about new control schemes below:

New Achievement: The First Step

To celebrate this milestone, we’ve added a special achievement for all pilots who complete the new Intro Module. Whether you are a veteran checking out the new mechanics or a beginner taking your very first flight—claim your reward!

The era of FPV for everyone starts now. Believe the hype—you can even fly with a mouse!

We have been working tirelessly to make FPV Skydive more accessible to everyone. Our mission for 2026 is simple: break the barriers of entry and let anyone experience the thrill of flight. Today, we are proud to finally bring that vision to life with 2.9 version.

Revolutionary Control Schemes

The wait is over! Our new control schemes are officially seeing the light of day. For the first time, we’re introducing revolutionary mouse-based flight.

We know that not everyone has an FPV radio or a controller at hand, so we’ve developed four new ways to fly using only your standard hardware.

You can now take to the skies using:

• Mouse Only: A revolutionary way to steer with fluid, motion-based flight.

• Keyboard + Mouse: The classic setup where your Keyboard acts as the left stick and your Mouse as the right stick.

• Mouse + Keyboard: A flipped hybrid layout where your Mouse controls the left stick and the Keyboard handles the right.

• Keyboard Only: Pure digital control for those who prefer a classic approach.

These schemes are designed to bridge the gap between casual play and pro-level FPV flying. Whether you're just starting out or looking for a new challenge, there’s now a perfect setup for you.

A Brand New Beginning

To kick off your journey, we’ve completely redesigned the intro experience. This new, immersive introduction is crafted to pull you straight into the cockpit, guiding you through the basics while showcasing the pure adrenaline of FPV.

The intro is divided into clear sections that guide you through the core flight mechanics:

• Visual Learning: Each section features a 3rd-person perspective, allowing you to see exactly how the drone physically reacts to your inputs. It’s the perfect way to visualize the physics of flight.

• Skill-Building Mini Exercises: Complete a series of short, focused tasks to master throttle control, yaw, and precision maneuvering before you head out on your own.

Once you’ve successfully conquered the intro, the choice is yours:

• Jump straight into the simulator and explore the skies with total freedom.

• If you want to dive even deeper and sharpen your professional pilot skills, head over to our Flight School for advanced training.

The debate between "real" and "virtual" physics is as old as FPV simulators themselves. Rather than relying on subjective "feel," we want to be transparent and show you exactly how we use objective, data-driven validation to bring our drones to life.

With the introduction of the Realistic System framework, we have transitioned to a purely data-driven workflow. We aren’t just aiming for what "feels" right—we are building digital twins that match the laws of physics as recorded in the field.

In the text below, we explain our step-by-step process:

The Workflow

Every Orqa drone undergoes a rigorous data-driven process to ensure maximum correlation between the field and the simulator:

• Field Data Acquisition: Recording high-stress maneuvers to capture raw physical behavior.

• Field Data Extraction: Retrieving high-frequency telemetry directly from the flight controller for ground-truth performance data.

• Realistic System Injection: Feeding physical parameters—weight, motor curves, and drag—into our framework to create a precise digital twin.

• Simulation Optimization: We use side-by-side video validation to fine-tune the model, optimizing the drone’s behavior for the "ideal" conditions of a virtual environment while maintaining 1:1 realism.

What truly sets us apart from other simulators is our access to a massive, legally cleared airspace where we can test real drones to their absolute limits. This continuous stream of real-world flight data ensures our physics engine will only keep evolving and becoming even more accurate over time.

Developer Note: "Fine-tuning" is a polite way of saying we spend hours obsessing over the tiny differences between a real motor's thrust curve and a digital one until they are indistinguishable.

See for Yourself

We believe in our data, but we know you believe your eyes. Below, you'll find a comparison video showing a real flight side-by-side with our internal simulation using the exact same stick inputs:

We are confident that this data-driven approach provides the highest possible correlation between real-life FPV and your screen. Whether you're training for a race or mastering a new trick, you’re flying the real thing.

Analysis

We’ve successfully matched real-world drone behavior in our simulator, achieving an impressive 92% overall accuracy using real flight and video data. What’s even better? We hit this high mark without even factoring in wind conditions, proving our core physics foundation is incredibly solid.

Here is how the data breaks down:

• Vertical Flight (Altitude): A stunning 98% match. Throttle punch-outs and free falls feel exactly like the real thing.

• Horizontal Flight (Momentum): Our simulated flight paths are extremely close to reality. We are actively using this data to perfectly fine-tune the subtle feeling of weight, momentum, and aerodynamic drift.

Moving forward, our standard is clear: we aim to consistently keep our physics within that 90-100% accuracy sweet spot to give you the ultimate immersive flight experience.

Graph comparison of results

Upcoming Release

We aren't keeping this new level of immersion locked in the lab. We are excited to announce that the very first drone utilizing this enhanced, highly validated physics model will be arriving very soon.

Best of all? This new physics update and the accompanying drone will be released to all players completely free of charge. Get ready for a revolution in drone simulation realism!

P.S. We've heard whispers that Santa's giving away more than just coal this year... Keep your props clean around Christmas, as you might find some unexpectedly open doors and a few special challenges waiting under the tree. 🎁👀

Dear users,

We are excited to announce a major update to how maps are managed in FPV.SkyDive. To streamline your experience and provide more flexibility for future updates, we are transitioning maps from a traditional DLC model to an integrated In-App Purchase (IAP) system using the Steam Inventory Service.

Starting from the end of January, the individual store pages for our map DLCs (Red Canyon, Neon Island, and Airport) will be retired. Instead of purchasing them as separate DLCs on the Steam Store, these maps will now be available as Items directly within the game’s internal store.

Important: You will NOT lose your content!

We want to reassure that if you already own these DLCs, you will keep them forever.

Better Value for Our Community

We are not just changing the system; we are making our maps more accessible! By moving away from the traditional DLC model to In-App Purchases, we are able to lower the price for all future pilots.

• Significant Price Drop: All individual maps will get up to 40% price reduction*

• Exclusive Rewards for early adopters: All users who have purchased and still owns any of the three DLCs (Airport, Neon Island, or Red Canyon) prior to January 28th will be granted a special "Legacy" reward soon.

Content structure (before and after):

*reduction can vary based on player region

Quick Settings

This feature is now accessible directly from the Pause Menu. Currently available quick settings are: Flight Mode, Field of view, Camera angle, Fish eye, Camera Noise, Auto Arm, Battery drain, Drone damage.

We know that every second counts when you're trying to nail the perfect line. With this new feature, you can now fine-tune your drone’s essential parameters instantly without breaking the flow of your session. No more jumping back and forth between menus—just pause, adjust, and get back to the dive!

Bug Fixes & Improvements

We’ve also bundled in a fresh set of bug fixes and improvements based on your feedback:

• Fixed controller arm/disarm issue

• Flight School functional improvements

• Fixed arm issue in Multiplayer mode

• Fixed multiple log errors when various maps are launched

• Fixed "no internet connection" issue when Steam username is too long

Thank you for your continued support.

With the release of Realistic System v1, FPV SkyDive Simulator takes a major step toward more authentic FPV drone simulation. The first iteration introduces battery drain and damage simulation across the entire drone fleet, available to all players.

Battery drain & Damage simulation

The system simulates realistic battery discharge, meaning flight performance changes over time as power levels drop. Pilots must now manage throttle and flight time more carefully, just as they would with a real FPV drone. In addition, physical drone damage has been implemented, allowing collisions and hard landings to impact drone performance rather than being purely visual.

You can enable and adjust the Realistic System in Settings → Drone → Battery Drain / Damage System.

Battery drain

When Battery Drain is enabled, the interactive battery icon and voltage are displayed at the bottom center of the screen.

Damage indicator

With the Damage System enabled, a damage indicator appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. The indicator displays four levels of propeller damage (minor, medium, heavy, and complete destruction) along with frame damage.

When the drone collides with a surface, red indicators appear on the edge of the screen, highlighting the side of the drone where the impact occurred.

Propeller damage legend:

Healthy

Minor damage

Medium damage

Heavy damage

Prop destruction

The drone icon is adapted so that micro drones have their own symbol, while regular drones use a separate symbol.

Damage has a realistic impact on the simulation, directly affecting drone handling and flight behavior.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Drone Soccer DLC, an adrenaline-fueled competitive and educational game mode that brings officially recognized drone sport by FAI into your favorite FPV drone simulator.

Drone Soccer is not just a game; it's the future of competitive sport. Take control of your drone ball and compete in an electrifying new sport where flying, passing and scoring happen mid-air.

Where STEM meets sport

Drone Soccer is an innovative team drone sport that originated in South Korea, seamlessly blending traditional football tactics with cutting-edge robotics.

Teams of three or five players control specialized drones, known as "drone balls," which are encased in protective, spherical exoskeletons allowing for full-contact, high-speed collisions.

The objective is to fly a designated scoring drone, the "Striker," through the opponent's circular, elevated goal. The remaining teammates act as guides and defenders, actively ramming and blocking rivals in a high-intensity, three-dimensional arena.

Beyond its appeal as a dynamic spectator sport, Drone Soccer is highly valued globally for promoting crucial STEM skills, as players are responsible for building, programming, and quickly repairing their own aerial machines.

"As proud global equipment providers to the official Drone Soccer organizations, we at ORQA have witnessed the sport's rapid growth firsthand. We are now incredibly excited to bridge the gap between real sport and e-sport, making history as the first company to launch a publicly available Drone Soccer simulator."

Choose Your Path to Glory

Whether you are a rookie pilot or a seasoned veteran, the Drone Soccer DLC offers multiple ways to take to the skies and dominate the competition.

Training

Start with the basics of aerial movement and quickly progress to advanced maneuvers. Practice tight turns, perfect your aerial dribbling, and learn complex skills like bank shots and mid-air recoveries. Each module is meticulously designed to build the essential muscle memory required to give you full, instinctive control of your drone.

Quick Play

Jump straight into the action with Quick Play Mode for fast and fun casual matches. Face off against the computer in balanced matches that keep the pace tight and the tension high. By freely switching and replaying different roles and positions, you will develop a complete understanding of team dynamics and aerial tactics.

Career

Take control of your own drone team and lead them through dynamic seasons filled with leagues, cups, and tournaments. Manage your schedule day by day, train to upgrade your skills, and make strategic choices to rise to the top.

Hello to all pilots,

We’re excited to break down everything the Micro Drone Edition DLC has to offer and how it benefits you as a player! 🚀

In addition, we’ve decided to make flying more accessible to everyone by updating the pricing across various in-game items and adjusting the prices of some DLCs.

Related micro drone items included in Micro Drone Edition DLC.

As you may know—everything in our simulator can be purchased either as separate in-game items or as DLCs. The Micro Drone Edition DLC allows you to get all related micro features in one package: maps, drones, challenges, racetracks, and more.

While each of these can be bought individually as items, purchasing the DLC gives you much greater benefits and discounts compared to buying them separately. It’s our way of making the full experience more accessible and rewarding for players.

New DLC and item prices

Latest price changes provide permanent, player-friendly discounts, making it easier than ever to extend play time and enjoy the game.

Many DLCs and items are now cheaper—some even permanently discounted—so you can grab your favorite maps, drones, and packs at better value.
