DVR Simulator 0.17.0 is out! OpenXR, new levels and more

Hello everyone,

Today I'm releasing a new version of DVR Simulator with new features and fixes. This release is not perfect, but it's stable enough to be played and enjoyed. Here is the big changelog!

Before we start, I want to thanks every users on Patreon (past, present) for supporting me <3 Thanks to you, I can buy assets, pay artists, pay Unity services, etc.. But I also want to thanks everyone here that bought the game, It's a great recognition of my work.

New maps

The new terrain system allow me to make big and infinite maps! It's a bit expensive to for now only one map is infinite. Here is the list of new maps:

• The airport: It's still work in progress
• The infinite map: Dedicated for long range
• The office: A map for tiny drones

VR enhancements

The VR integration doesn't require a launcher anymore! The game will start in VR mode if the headset is plugged to your computer. Thanks to OpenXR, the game will work natively with Oculus, SteamVR and Windows MR. You'll maybe have a problem of camera position. If you have the problem, just recenter the camera from the dashboard. If you can't recenter the camera, try to use the recenter button in the in game menu. If you can't renceter the view, please contact me with your setup.

Drone settings

The old drag calculation is available again and enabled by default! Don't forget that you can open the drone editor when in game by pressing the Tab button and change what you want. You can finally save your setup and load it from the main menu.

Graphics improvements

Graphics was improved again by adding Screen Space Ambient Occlusion and Screen Space Reflections! Note that those effects doesn't work in VR for now.

WebGL Demo!

A working WebGL demo will be available for everyone next week! It'll allow everyone to try DVR Simulator very quickly. The 3 modes will be available with only one map, one drone, without the multiplayer feature. Note that a good computer is required because web games uses more CPU/Ram.

What am I working on?

I've many topics right now but here is my priority list

• New trial mode (3 modes, 1 map, 1 drone) for WebGL and PC/Quest 
• Adding again the learning module
  
• Fixing the racing mode
• VR enhancements

Stay safe,

Yannick.
