We’re excited to introduce Skydive Sim Instructor, a free companion app designed to make it easier to guide someone through Skydive Sim from outside the VR headset. Whether you’re an instructor working with a student, a drop zone using Skydive Sim as a supplemental educational tool, or simply introducing a friend to VR skydiving for the first time, the Instructor app gives you a completely different way to interact with the person inside the headset. And it goes far beyond si

We’ve redesigned the Skydive Sim Options menu with a cleaner, more modern interface—and along with the new look comes a major improvement to how you set up and manage your canopy. Introducing the new Flight tab. Everything Flight-Related in One Place The redesigned Options menu still includes the settings you’re familiar with, but we’ve moved all of the canopy physics and configuration options into their own dedicated Flight tab. Previously, some of the more advanced realisti

No two skydives take place under the same conditions, and no single canopy setup is right for every jumper. Skydive Sim’s Real-World Winds and Custom Canopy features give players more control over both sides of that experience. By default Skydive Sim loads the current winds and gusts for a selected real-world location and it lets you configure a canopy using your body weight, gear weight, canopy size, wing loading, and canopy type. Together, these features create a more perso

Most games know exactly where players will go. Developers design a level, place objects by hand, and optimize every detail for that specific environment. Skydive Sim is different. Using Google Earth, players can skydive or explore almost anywhere on Earth. One person might fly over the Amalfi Coast, another over the Great Lakes, while someone else decides to explore a small island in the Pacific. That freedom created an interesting engineering challenge. Building for a Planet

Google Earth has made it possible for Skydive Sim players to jump, fly, and explore locations around the world. But there has always been one visual limitation: oceans, lakes, and coastlines were part of the satellite imagery, making the water appear flat and motionless. We wanted to change that. Bringing the Water to Life Skydive Sim now adds animated, dynamic water to supported Google Earth scenes. Instead of looking down at flat water imagery in Google Earth scenes, player

Skydive Sim has always been about skydiving, but one thing became clear as Google Earth locations became a bigger part of the experience: sometimes you want to look around before you jump. That is why we added Explore Mode. Explore Mode gives players a calmer way to experience locations in Skydive Sim. Instead of immediately jumping, flying canopy, or focusing on a landing area, you can move freely through the environment, scout the area, hover near landmarks, and take in the

Over the past few months, we’ve been hard at work pushing a series of updates that bring Skydive Sim closer than ever to the real thing. From personalized avatars to new ways to record your jumps, these updates are packed with features designed to make the experience more immersive, more fun, and more aligned with real-world skydiving. Here’s a breakdown of everything we’ve introduced. 🎥 New Recording Modes for Better Content Creation (LIV SDK) Whether you’re training, revie
