Acrodrift: FPV Drone Simulator Update v0.1.6 Adds PID Auto Tune and Disarm Controls

Acrodrift: FPV Drone Simulator v0.1.6 introduces PID Auto Tune to manage physics updates alongside manual disarm controls and controller calibration fixes.

Acrodrift: FPV Drone Simulator receives update v0.1.6, targeting flight tuning, recovery options after crashes, and peripheral compatibility.

PID Auto Tune and Flight Physics

To counter shifts in optimal PIDF settings caused by ongoing V2 Flight Physics adjustments, update v0.1.6 adds an Auto Tune feature. Enabled by default, Auto Tune handles configurations automatically without overwriting custom PIDF values. Players can toggle the system off at any time for manual adjustments, with developers recommending an increased I value for manual tuning.

Disarm Controls and Throttle Behavior

The update introduces a manual disarm function to recover drones when stuck after a crash. Additionally, players can now disable automatic arming linked to throttle input for greater control over when the drone arms.

Controller Calibration Fixes

A bug preventing input devices featuring unusual axis ranges from calibrating properly has been resolved. Players experiencing past calibration difficulties can test their hardware with the updated build.

Why this patch matters

Update v0.1.6 gives pilots tools to manage physics changes and hardware quirks without disrupting custom setups.
