December 19, 2024

This update includes new modules in existing scenarios, new flyable drones, and an improvement to the controller mapping interface. And bug fixes, of course.

New Features ✨

    • Free Fly

    • Free Fly - Monopole

    • Free Fly - Lattice

    • Free Fly - Guyed

• New Flyable Drones

  • Skydio X10

    • The Skydio X10 is billed as having the best array of sensors in its size-class, including a top of the line thermal camera. Fast and agile with a max flight time of 40 minutes, the X10 is an excellent drone for most situations.

  • Calibration and mapping data are now controller specific settings

• Drone Improvements

  • New flashlight functionality added to many existing drones

  • Loki max tilt angle adjusted to bring it more in-line with real world counterpart

Bug Fixes 🐛

Known Issues ❗

• Due to engine changes, users may experience a warning message the first time they log in to Zephyr after the update. This warning message is caused by changes to the grass system and will go away after the user changes their grass setting to a supported option.

• There is a graphical issue impacting the water on The Island scenario

• The grass system has been disabled on Mac platform due to a performance issue. We will address this issue with an update in the new year.
