BACK IN THE AIR
Help with Updraft
Connecting to the sky
An internet connection is required to fly, including when you are alone in a room. If the connection drops, the game tries to reconnect. Check Wi-Fi or mobile data and use Try again. Full rooms admit pilots as spaces become available.
Taking off
Choose a floating joystick or dual joysticks on the launch screen, enter an optional callsign, then tap Let’s fly. Push the left joystick up, or drag up on the map with the floating joystick, to launch. On a keyboard, press the up arrow or W. Your timer starts at takeoff. Open How to fly in the top bar for the flight guide.
Returning to the app
Switching apps releases your controls and stops the sound. The shared world keeps running. Brief interruptions can resume your session; after a longer interruption you may return to launch. Tap the speaker if flight audio needs to be re-enabled.
Report a problem
Include your device model, operating system version, room code and what happened. For an inappropriate callsign or race record, include the callsign and room.
Use the developer contact details on the app’s store listing.
