- Fly with a Mouse? Believe it! - 19 May 2026

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 PlayDepending 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…

- Inside the Realistic System: Drone Physics - 19 March 2026

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 WorkflowEvery 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 da…

- Realistic System v1 - 23 December 2025
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 simulationThe 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 drainWhen Battery Drain is enabled, the interactive battery icon and voltage are displayed at the bottom center of the screen.Damage…
