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:

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.

And that’s not all — Christmas is just around the corner 🎄

We’ve heard whispers that Santa is already preparing some special gifts, so make sure to stay tuned in the coming days. You never know what surprises might be waiting for you under the tree!
