  So much fun! Early access, and already such an impressive project. Can't wait to see where it goes from here :)

  Finally a sim that replicate the tricky flight differences between whoops and 5" quad copter sims correctly. You feel that battery sag and throttle control quirks that is so different when you switch from flying 5" to whoops and visa versa. I foresee many hours in both Liftoff: Micro Drones and Liftoff.

  The gravity a bit weird, just not like a real life whoop & the control feel delay in milisecond. Fyi i'm using rtx, so the the fps / lag issue is not the problem. I don't know if it's just me or anyone else But I still recommend this considering is still early access, can't wait to see the update :)

  This is incredible, i was thinking about buying a microdrone and this is an amazing step to practicing. It might be worth making a map Nick Burns house, he's a legend in the Micro Scene https://www.youtube.com/c/NickBurnsRC

  The game is amazing, the only thing that's missing is support for custom Workshop maps, along with the ability to easily create our own maps and races. I would love to make a model of my own house so I could train some stunts.

  I find it great to learn to fly micro drones indoor. I have only tried MACRO and I find it very close to the real thing. It would be nice to be able to adjust RC Rates and Expo, I think that it would be a good improvement.

  To the devs, fantastic job. Absolutely outstanding. I'm going into real estate FPV, and this is such good practice! Physics are great, just like the OG version. Would love to see more maps, specifically more residential locations? Great sim, can't give it enough praise.

  Super fun game! Great job team. I've been having a wonderful time playing the early release version of the game. I'd love to see the Tinyhawk and Nanohawk get added. If I may, I'd like to add a bit of constructive criticism: The tiny whoop is really fun to fly in the game but it's just too good. I've burned through 5 or 6 whoops in my time and although they are fun, they do not have enough power to counteract the turbulence they can create with stock motors. This is particularly noticeable when flying inverted for any amount of time (rolling/flipping) or descending rapidly. Typically you end up in a situation where the motors struggle to hold position and the pid loop enters a bit of an oscillation. Now in the past I've upgraded my whoop motors and been able to do some more acrobatic stuff but in that scenario. Unfortunately though, to get a whoop to behave similar to the flight model in the game you're probably looking at decreasing your battery life to something around 30 seconds. It will be the most fun 30 seconds of your life (a time frame I'm all too familiar with) but it's only enough time to get a few flips in before you've blown your whole battery load. There's one other thing I've always wished liftoff had and that is an option to make the video signal even worse. When flying a real whoop around a house (or even my 250 in some cases) the video looks like absolute garbage; cutting in and out and sometime flying through periods of blizzard or black conditions for a second or two. So in summary, for the purpose of training for real world applications, it would be wonderful if I could make everything worse >P

  The micro drones are too drifty. They never stop drifting even in angle mode. Way harder than my real Moblite 7 and tinyhawk 3 tinywhoops

  I used to be an avid drone pilot and had multiple full scale drones and a handful of micro drones, all of which got plenty of use. The physics in Liftoff: Micro Drones are there, it's darn close to the real feel, but for 15USD I would expect way more than just three maps and six drones. Not to mention the GUI, it's an absolute pain to look at. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 5 for the OG Liftoff title. It's far better. More maps, more drone options, more polished GUI.
