UI Update Part 5 - Rates, Ground Station and Map updates

This is Part 5 of the EreaDrone Road to 1.0 UI Update! Last time, we brought you a complete overhaul of our Map & Track Browsers.

📈 More Rates, better menu!

EreaDrone now supports all of the rates available in BetaFlight. We've also fixed some issues that were previously present in the Rates menu.

Supported rates:

• Betaflight

• Actual

• KISS (new)

• QuickRates (new)

• Raceflight (new)

There's also cursors now, that show how your controller responds to the rates, per individual axis, and a drone preview to test how the rates feel. You can now also copy/paste profiles.

For those who want it, we implemented the throttle limit function, that either clips or scales your throttle input depending on the percentage you set.

You can quickly open this menu by pressing P at any time (rebindable in the settings).

🗼 Say Hello to Ryfty!

Steam post imageWhen flying, there will now be a cute little ground station next to your spawn, called Ryfty! It's where your antenna is, so keep that in mind when using a VTX filter.

Don't worry, it won't interfere when flying, it has no hitbox and fades away when you get near.

🎡 Carpark & Chateau Open Door day

Some new holes have appeared on the Chateau map, and you can now fly in new locations that were previously inaccessible.

This tower was previously completely blocked, but now you can do tricks inside it! There are many other places

In Carpark, we opened up a lot of the doors that were previously closed, including the elevator shaft and the stairwells!Steam post image

In the underground floor, some of the vent covers were removed. I wonder if you could fly into it... 🤔

We also improved the collisions on some environment props, so you can now fly where you couldn't before!
