Turtle mode

Turtle mode allows the pilot to flip an upside-down drone back to normal by pressing a button, or using a controller switch. This is mainly used to recover after a crash.

In order to use turtle mode you can press "T" in game. Alternatively, in order to bind it to a controller switch, go to the main menu, click on "Options", then on "Control", and finally on "Buttons". On the right column, you can assign turtle mode to any switch.

Launch Control

Launch Control allows pilots to control and fix the pitch angle of their drone during a race countdown. This acts as a starting block, allowing more explosive starts. This should be a fun addition for the competitive racers among you.

You can enable launch control on any drone through the flight controller settings, either in the workbench, or through the pause menu during gameplay.
