Be a pioneer of the future of racing with DroneGP 15 ! Experience the first multi copter racing simulator and grow as a pilot of this completely new genre, mastering the controls and challenges that drone racing brings. As in car or motorcycle racing sims, you'll have to be precise and concentrated to complete a lap successfully, learn to master curve lines and know your vehicle behaviour in every situation. But unlike car or motorcycle racing sims, you'll have an additional dimension to exploit and keep under control, making for a unique and totally new experience. Compete against advanced AI players that adapt to tracks dynamically and control the same vehicle as you making every race different.. Online leaderboards and multiplayer races grant never ending challenges ! The most advanced and realistic multi copter physics simulation available, all vehicles have a “flight controller” on board exactly as real life ones, and while not yet user tuneable, pro pilots can expect much more in the coming months, and actually help us shape the future of DroneGP on our forums or via email. Learning to master your vehicle won't be easy, but satisfaction is assured once you get hold of the controls and forces that move your race drone. What to expect : - Something NEW ! - 15 total race tracks - All tracks playable in multiplayer - A true challenge - Realistic FPV camera - Rich and realistic audio design - Great soundtrack - Stunning graphics that push the limits of mobile devices - The most realistic and advanced multi copter simulation available. - Advanced user system allows for multiple users on the same device - All progress synced with upcoming PC and Mac versions. - Game is completely free with ads, one single in-app purchase removes them all. *** DEVICE SUPPORT : Sorry but iPad 3, iPad Mini (first one), iPod Touch 5th Gen, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s (and older devices) are not currently supported....

Been waiting for this!! Instabuy for me! Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #3 Baracus, Jul 30, 2015 Eck. This could have done with some more polishing. Getting stuck on scenery (colliders getting attached) and some bad regular frame drops on iPhone 6 so it's hard to get a feel for the controls. Can't really judge the flow and momentum so it doesn't feel great to swoop and take curves smoothly. The maps seem nice enough but needs a bit more work to make it fun psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,964 717 113 England #4 psj3809, Jul 30, 2015 Gave this a go, it looks great and i suppose it has 'proper' drone like controls but i just find it too tricky. Would have preferred just basic buttons sleb Well-Known Member Feb 7, 2010 385 3 18 Ohio #5 sleb, Jul 30, 2015 Still have to download, but I will compare it to flying my quad (Zmr250) FrozenPepper Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2009 508 12 18 #6 FrozenPepper, Jul 30, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. If stuck, press the little wrench icon to immediately reset you position at last checkpoints one. Unfortunately we where not able to improve collision handling without crippling performances on mobile, we will continue to try, but once you stop colliding it should be better. About slowdowns, weird, iphone 6 and 5 are the devices on which we tested the most, and we didn't had slowdowns on them.. will investigate. In general, great, great thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it.

(Please report used promo codes) Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #7 Baracus, Jul 31, 2015 Sure no problem. About the colliders issue, wouldn't just a plain old box around the drone work? Seems at the moment each blade is separate and that's what's getting stuck. About the frame drops, it is from the start and every ~4 seconds, and absolutely regularly. Maybe something to do with GameCenter if you are checking something during gameplay (may explain why it didn't do it for you in test environment, only surfacing when game is live)? Just a thought! Good luck! FrozenPepper Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2009 508 12 18 #8 FrozenPepper, Jul 31, 2015 Really weird, we have two iphone 6 here and we are not able to replicate on any of them. What iOs version are you using ? Might it be an iPhone 6 plus ? Thanks a lot for your time Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #9 Baracus, Jul 31, 2015 It's not a Plus and it's on 8.2. bigrand1 Well-Known Member Apr 23, 2010 4,968 7 38 Geriatric Party Animal California, USA #10 bigrand1, Jul 31, 2015 Getting the hang of the controls. Not having hang-up problems, running 8.3 on iPad 4! Wanna play more! FrozenPepper Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2009 508 12 18 #11 FrozenPepper, Aug 2, 2015 Very happy about it , thanks ! sorry for it. Still trying to understand, BUT we have just submitted an update to apple with many fixes, so it could improve situation for you too. We have just submitted to apple for review version 1.05 of DroneGP bringing : - performance improvements and lower memory consumption, improving especially performances of iPhone 6 plus. - fixed a bug in multiplayer that prevented clients to see correctly AI players in some occasions. - fixed a bug that didn't allow 2 "default" players in a multiplayer race. Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #12 Baracus, Aug 2, 2015 OK will try again when update is here. I wonder if it's something to do with checking for the player position on the map for when to offer the 'increase radio range' IAP? Feels like some process is going on behind the game making it skip frames regularly. It's OK for a few seconds (like 15) after a fresh load of the game then starts skipping every few seconds again (like 2 to 3 seconds smooth, then stutter for a second > loop). FrozenPepper Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2009 508 12 18 #13 FrozenPepper, Aug 2, 2015 Thanks for taking the time to provide such helpful feedback. Just to be sure, i'm now playing a store version of DroneGP 15, without in-app purchase purchased on my iPhone 6, and have no stuttering whatsoever (being the phone i carry with me, iPhone 6 it's actually the device we tested the most on). Update should improve performances for everybody and truly hope it will for you too. Does the stuttering happen on all race tracks ? (Park and country ? ). While playing is your phone connected to internet ? Wifi or 4g ? (asking because we had a bug which caused something similar with unstable internet connection, but we thought of having fixed it). Again, great thanks for your patience and feedback. Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #14 Baracus, Aug 2, 2015 No worries. It was happening on both of those maps yes. I am on a wifi connection but it's very slow (1.5mbs) so I just tried with wifi turned off (forcing my phone to use 4G which is much faster but I have limited data allowance so don't use it unless I have to) and that has fixed the problem!! So at least we know what it is now. Hope you can solve it to work on slow connections as well. Anyway I finally managed to do a whole race now so all good Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #15 Baracus, Aug 3, 2015 @FrozenPepper - other thing I forgot to mention was that sometimes when I load the game it's forgotten I said to use GameCenter and shows all the tutorial popups again as if I hadn't ever loaded the game before. Is that meant to be? FrozenPepper Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2009 508 12 18 #16 FrozenPepper, Aug 4, 2015 Thanks to your feedback we fixed a big bug happening with auto-login and Game Center accounts ! Have just submitted a new version to apple with a ton of fixes . Great, great, great thanks. Baracus Well-Known Member Jun 19, 2009 1,023 0 36 UK http://www.hatenintendo.co.uk #17 Baracus, Aug 4, 2015 My pleasure Did you also fix the lag on slow connections? FrozenPepper Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2009 508 12 18 #18 FrozenPepper, Aug 5, 2015 Not totally sure. I think so. I managed to replicate what i think was a situation very similar to yours, and it was due to not being correctly logged in, so every time account data was asked it caused a big allocation of memory due to returning a "default" clean account, this then caused very frequent calls to garbage collect causing huge frame rate drops. With current fix game should correctly wait the required login time in main menu so that there is no way to launch an actual race with a not valid account. We are working on an even better solution (way less wait time on slow connections), but will require some more time to test.
