505 Games and Supernova Games Studios, in technical partnership with KUNOS Simulazioni, are proud to announce the launch of Assetto Corsa Rally, the newest entry in the acclaimed Assetto Corsa franchise, now available in Early Access on Steam.
The Assetto Corsa Driving Experience Enters the World of Rally

Jumps and rough terrain
Variable and slipperysurfaces
Realistic vehicle dynamics on every type of ground
Unreal Engine 5, Laser-scanned Tracks, and Authentic Audio
All stages have been created – for the first time in the rally sim genre – using LaserScan technology, allowing ultra-precise reproduction of real-world terrain, surface irregularities, and surrounding environments, setting a new benchmark for realism in rally simulation, deepening the authenticity of the driving experience.
Supernova Games Studios has extensively customized and optimized Unreal Engine 5 to meet the specific performance and visual fidelity needs of racing simulation.
Every vehicle has been recreated using laser scans and official CAD data, ensuring unmatched accuracy in every detail.
An advanced damage system blends visual deformation with physically integrated effects, influencing real-time handling and vehicle performance.
Sound design has been engineered for maximum immersion:
Authentic recordings of real rally cars — from acceleration and braking to drifting — captured both inside and outside the cockpit.
Co-driver pace notes recorded with professional co-drivers using their real voices.

107 years ago, on November 11, 1918, the armistice on the Western Front of World War I came into effect, and would become the official date of the end of the bloodiest war in human history at that time. In honor of this anniversary, the team has released update 6.107, which introduces numerous new features to the Flying Circus module including the addition of Zeppelin-class bombers, various Western Front locations, landmark additions to Paris, among . Flying Circus is a collection of modules from the IL-2 Sturmovik series based on the Great War (World War I), and currently containing four volumes. A Flying Circus Deluxe Edition containing all volumes is also available along individual volumes on Steam and the official IL-2 Sturmovik website.
First, a real giant has entered the Flying Circus arena! We’ve wanted to add German Zeppelin-class R bomber airships for many years. Despite their vulnerability, they were not an easy target — catching up with or intercepting an airship flying at high altitude and at what was then a high speed was a task at the limit of the capabilities of the first airplanes. Machine gun fire did not guarantee sufficient damage to the hydrogen tanks even after hundreds of rifle-caliber bullets hit the outer shell. The situation changed only with the advent of more powerful aircraft engines and incendiary rockets.
This latest Flying Circus bundle contains:
40 flyable aircraft from the rise of flight era
Multiple modes: pilot career mode, individual scenario missions, and a mission generator on the huge Western Front WWI map
Five historical campaigns:
Gallant Green (S.E.5a pilot of No. 56 Squadron in April – June 1917)
Red Knights (Albatros D.V pilot of Jasta 11 during Spring 1917)
Spring Offensive (Sopwith Camel pilot of No. 54 Squadron in March 1918)
Kaiserschlacht (Fokker Dr.I pilot of Jasta 6 in March 1918)
Against the Tide (SSW D.IV pilot in August – September 1918).
New major cities have been added to the Western Front map: Mons, Namur, Aachen, Verviers, Maastricht, Brussels, Charleroi, and more.
Additional landmarkshave appeared in Paris: including the Arc de Triomphe and the Trocadéro Palace.
Railway stations and train stations have been added to many settlements.
QOL improvements: several minor improvements have been made, significantly enhancing the perception and realism of the map.
All of the above will be automatically added in-game with the download and install of update 6.107. For those new to the Flying Circus series, the Flying Circus Deluxe collection is now available on Steam and directly from the IL-2 Sturmovik website.

DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches the Neo 2. At just 151g1, Neo 2 is DJI’s lightest and most compact drone1 equipped with omnidirectional obstacle sensing1 to date. It features gesture control1, allowing complete operation by hand, SelfieShot for capturing moments with minimum effort and improved ActiveTrack1 to make low-altitude, follow-shooting during activities such as running or cycling even easier. Easy to fly for beginners, Neo 2 is ideal for family outings, outdoor sports, travel and FPV experience, always capturing best moments as a personal follow-me camera drone.
Master Content Capture in a Couple of Clicks
The Neo 2 features a new small onboard display to the left of the camera when facing the drone, which clearly shows the selected shooting mode. The drone can be launched from the palm1 by the user pointing it at themselves and pressing the take-off button. After completing the desired content capture, the innovative Return-to-Palm feature1 allows Neo 2 to precisely locate the user’s palm, return safely and land steadily, making flights easier than ever.
Gesture Control and Multiple Ways to Fly
When using Gesture Control, its direction and proximity can be controlled by using one palm or both. With a single palm, the drone’s left/right movement and altitude can be controlled; users just need to face the drone and raise hand with the palm directed toward the drone. With both palms facing the drone, users can move the hands apart to make the drone fly away, while bringing the hands together to make it approach. No remote controller is needed for camera angle adjustment.
The Neo 2 also supports voice control1, allowing flying commands to be sent by smartphone or Bluetooth headphones during any sporting or other activity. For those looking for a longer transmission range, Neo 2 can be paired with the DJI RC-N3 remote controller to achieve a maximum video transmission distance of 10 km1.
Whether the user is using the drone without a remote controller1 or is pairing the drone with a motion controller1 and goggles for an exciting FPV1 (first-person view) immersive experience, there are multiple ways to control Neo 2.
Smart Capture, Sharp Results
Neo 2 features a 12MP, 1/2-inch CMOS sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and high-performance image processor for clearer, low-noise footage stabilized by a new 2-axis gimbal. When combined with DJI’s signature ActiveTrack and new SelfieShot, subjects are automatically framed for smooth, hands-free shooting from start to finish. With multiple intelligent shooting modes unlocking fresh perspectives and with 4K video recording1 at up to 100fps1 for slow motion1 or 2.7K vertical video, Neo 2 delivers crisp, detailed and cinematic-quality footage.
The Neo 2’s enhanced tracking performance offers faster response and improved stability, enabling smooth and steady tracking for running, cycling and more. In open areas, it can track at speeds of up to 12 m/s1. Eight-direction tracking (forward, backward, left, right and four diagonals) produces more natural follow shots and expands creative possibilities. In complex environments, the drone can switch to rear tracking mode, steadily keeping the subject in focus and providing confident creative freedom.
When it comes to capturing solo or group moments hands-free, Neo 2’s new SelfieShot allows the user to effortlessly switch between waist-up, full-body and long shots without a tripod or any extra assistance. Whether it’s birthday parties, weekend picnics or family outings, Neo 2 automatically composes every scene and maneuvers the camera as needed to capture cherished moments with just a tap.
Intelligent Shooting Modes, Stunning Shots
Neo 2 supports intelligent shooting modes, such as Dolly Zoom, QuickShots and MasterShots, offering diverse perspectives and making standout footage simple to create.
Dolly Zoom: Supports Hitchcock effect and enables users to create stunning videos for social media.
QuickShots: DJI’s signature QuickShots includes Dronie, Circle, Rocket, Spotlight, Helix and Boomerang, allowing captivating cycling, skateboarding or any other activity follow shots to be created with ease.
MasterShots: Automatically captures diverse shots with creative camera movements, and intelligently edits with music to produce high-quality videos.
Triple Protection for Beginner Confidence
The Neo 2’s omnidirectional monocular vision system, combined with forward-facing LiDAR and a downward infrared sensing system, detects obstacles in real time for safe, confident flying. Coupled with an integrated propeller guard design, which provides all-around protection, beginners are given peace of mind when operating the drone. Furthermore, Neo 2 supports versatile flight1 with enhanced hovering and positioning capabilities over Neo, making it easier to navigate challenging environments such as indoor, close to buildings and over water or snow.
Create with Ease and Efficiency
With level 5 wind resistance, up to19 minute1 flight time and 49GB internal storage, Neo 2 can save up to 105 minutes of 4K/60fps video, up to 175 minutes of 4K/30fps video or 241 minutes of 1080p/60fps video. Once saved, no extra data cables are needed to transfer the footage; connecting to a phone by Wi-Fi will quickly transfer it to the DJI Fly App at up to 80 MB/s1 enabling smooth post production and sharing.
