Zephyr Simulator v1.10.5
- Windows
- macOS
This update includes two new scenarios "Miami Beach" and "SAR Fundamentals" (Search and rescue) with 17 modules total. It also includes a major flight physics overhaul impacting every drone in the simulator for better flight accuracy. The Capture system has also had a major under-the-hood update that should allow for more accurate captures, multi-target captures, and zoom being factored in.

Improvements 🙌
- System Updates
- Major Flight Physics Update
- We made major changes to Zephyr's underlying flight system, impacting every flyable drone in the sim.
- Capture System Update
- Major under-the-hood changes were made to Zephyr's capture system. These changes include:
- Camera zoom is now factored into target capture validity
- More accurate target captures
- Multi-target capture
- Major under-the-hood changes were made to Zephyr's capture system. These changes include:
- Controller Updates
- Added new controller profiles for a different version of the BetaFPV LiteRadio 3
- Major Flight Physics Update
Bug Fixes 🐛
- Fixed a graphical issue in the NIST Park scenario
- Fixed and issue impacting the capture targets in NIST scenarios
- Fixed multiple shader and graphical issues sim-wide
- Fixed an issue impacting report times
- Fixed flight feel and behavior of the Avata 2
- Fixed several issues impacting drone camera behavior
- Fixed several issues impacting mini-map functionality
- Fixed several issues impacting the existing BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 controller profiles
Known Issues ❗
- Updating DLC in the Launcher for a version of the Simulator that has not yet been released results in the update failing. A future Launcher update will be released to handle this more gracefully.
- A small camera stabilization issue, when changing pitch/roll directions quickly.
- Moving your pitch/roll stick to the extremes (UpRight, UpLeft, DownLeft, DownRight) cause the drone to move slower than expected.
- At lower FPS, a prevalent "camera wobble" when flying certain drones can be seen.
