you cant fly like that anymore devs got rid of infenite fuel

When I mixed up the directions, I've definitely turtled and struggled upside down.

I have actually recorded a rather intense crash test to show a friend, but I haven't posted it. I was flying in that forward 90 degree angle, and intentionally clipped the ground. It basically bounced off a few times with very little change to my trajectory. It was only once I collided with the ground at less than a 90 degree angle that I lost control and ended upside down. The landing thrusters didn't quite have the power to launch on their own. However, in conjunction with some of the directional thrusters, I was able to slide for a bit and ended up on its side. From there, it was easy to correct the position, and successfully launch.

It would be neat to improve the landing thrusters to be able to launch on their own, but I think I would struggle to find space for an additional 2-4 without changing the design.

Believe me, even with proper color schemes I do still frequently mix up which is which with all the usual disastrous results. By the way (and this is naturally all purely hypothetical) do the landing thrusters have the power to launch the drone should it end up-side-down?

Thanks! I didn't immediately come to the conclusion of using the flags. It was a bit of an afterthought once the overall design was finished. It was difficult to see my color scheme changes with all the boosters going off at the same time, and I kept mixing up my directions. Flags ended up being the easiest way for me to immediately recognize my orientation, and keep on course.

Awesome design! Also, never thought about using flags to make directionality easier to tell compared to some basic color scheme. Way to rule the air!
