Update on my browser FPV sim: the freestyle mode got an ink look and drifting cars

Hey r/fpv. I'm Mat, and I've been building WebFPV in the evenings after work and dad life, about two months so far. It's a free FPV sim that runs in the browser on real Betaflight 4.5.1 compiled to WebAssembly. I'm an average pilot myself (my first quad was a 65mm whoop in 2021), and most changes come from flying it and noticing what bugs me.

Here's what changed over the last week or so.

Freestyle has an ink look now. The menus and trick badges are drawn in a manga ink style, and the freestyle worlds have outlines on everything. Fly fast and you get speed lines at the edges of the screen. A real crash gets a short impact frame. The second screenshot is a fast pass over the same map as the first, with the outlines and speed lines on. Race tracks stay clean, and if it isn't your thing, a Manga and scoring switch in Settings turns all of it off.

Cars on the drift and freestyle maps got proper shapes instead of boxes, plus a new rear drive coupe. In the first screenshot a red one is drifting round my own Hibari Yard Tandem map.

On the menu, the Freestyle card now films whatever map you loaded, including one you built yourself. It used to be a grey placeholder. The third screenshot shows the new one.

There's a replay mode too. It plays a lap from the Board with nobody flying, from a chase camera or a first person view. There's no button for it on the Board yet, so for now it's mostly how I make clips.

Last one is a lap timing fix. A track with two flags on one pole was letting through laps of a few milliseconds, so the timer now wants some real flying between two scoring gates before it counts the next one.

It's free with no account, and it runs with a radio in joystick mode or a gamepad: https://webfpv.org/?ref=reddit

I'd like to hear what feels off, especially on the freestyle side.
