You can play either Freestyle or Time Race modes in multiplayer. Before jumping into multiplayer you are going to want to do two things.

This will be the name people will see you as online, and more importantly, allow you to actually play online! If you skip this step, you will be told to setup a username if you join multiplayer.

Next, set a LED color for your quad. Setting up a game is simple. Just like the single player mode, you just set your game type, select a track, load that track, and you are ready to go! We really liked how easy it was to create or jump into a game! Nothing to write home about here. I imagine at this point most of the music is placeholder until the final release.

All levels play the same song — an action sci-fi style track that seems out of place on many of the levels. Similarly, the sounds for crashing and motor acceleration all seem to be placeholder, and do not adjust to the environment or quad setup. Not something to harp on, as we would fully expect these assets to change as the game nears release. Obviously the team has more important features to work on than the sound at this point! Use your own playlist and fly to that instead. Need some music to listen to?

Why not try listening to our Spotify playlist? Here are a few aspects of the simulator we would love to see changed:. We love playing with friends! One of our complaints about Liftoff was the inability to fly freestyle mode. However, we noticed quite a few performance issues when playing together. Unlike Liftoff, it was much harder to follow other players. This made chasing other people through the level much more difficult. The LED settings might be the fix for this, but they currently do not seem to function.

We found multiplayer racing to be very buggy in its current state. We would love to see features such as clearer indicators of gate order and information on what position first, second, third, etc. An onscreen map might also be helpful to show where the next gate is and to tell where other players are. T he MattyStuntz freestyle level is our favorite level we have played in any simulator. A map that has huge verticality, a wide array of objects to fly through, and a huge sense of scale is a breath of fresh air compared to so many same-ish levels across simulators looking at you parking garage levels.

So why then are all the other levels the same as every other simulator? This makes sense, as many simulators brand themselves as FPV racing sims. We would love to see them continue the trend with more levels like MattyStuntz Freestyle World.

Honestly, this has been a downside in most simulators. Transmitter binding is the most frustrating part of setting things up. We would love to see the team take time to make the transmitter binding process less challenging.

This was very frustrating, and the only solution was to run the calibration repeatedly until the correct axis responded. Making the transmitter setup user friendly to beginners will be key to expanding the user base! Moreover, we love the ability to play freestyle multiplayer with friends for a nice casual flying experience. We love just how much there is to do in the MFW level. So many buildings to dive! On the other hand, the game is not without its weaknesses. Without a bit of help and some trial and error, we would not have been able to setup our transmitters to play.

The multiplayer racing also leaves more to be desired. It was unclear if we hit certain checkpoints when racing, levels did not seem to register passing through some gates, etc. We will chalk this up to the game being work in progress, but if you are looking for a multiplayer racing sim at this point in time — we would recommend Liftoff over HOTPROPS. If nothing else, try the MattyStuntz freestyle world map and give some building dives a go.

Furthermore, the game is still in beta and likely to get a ton of updates in the near future. At the low, low price of free, you really have no excuses.

Price : Free. Transmitter binding difficulty : High — definitely an un-intuitive process to calibrate and set all of the axes for our transmitters. Without this video we would have been lost. Multiplayer : Yes — race AND freestyle multiplayer support. However, it can be hard to see other players, and we did notice quite a bit of position update lag when flying around other pilots. Recommended for : Intermediate to advanced users that want to practice crazy freestyle stunts building dives, etc without causing property damage in real life.

Well, luckily I didn't face any issue while downloading , but I never got it to work in my win 7 PC , always crashed at startup with out any reports , haven't tried with a active internet connection , will try that today. Sorry guys for having lead you all into a fruitless errand.

This sim has major issues on win 7. Mine is not recognizing Aileron and rudder inputs. Further no provision to do any setting changes in menu too. It crashes immediately on launch, preventing any check on the performance too.
