April 2025
Intuitive tutorial, a lot of maps and drones, races, circuits and the ability to build your on custom drone. The physics are a bit floaty compared to real life so if you prioritise physics, get velocidrone. 4.5/5

It's probably one of the best FPV simulators for it's price, it's great as a first simulator, offers great drones which you can custom, lots of maps (which are also customizable) and pretty good graphics. Physics are pretty good, but it's focused too much on the DRL Racer 4, and all drones fly more like it (heavy and underpowered, also drifty and harder to control at nigh speed). The damage is great, but once again, it's only available for the DRL Racer 4. Also there are lots of small bugs, which are slightly annoying. I would recommend it if you don't want to spend a lot of money on better sim (it's a great sim, don't get me wrong) and have a lot of customizability, great multiplayer, official tournaments, OK physics and good graphics. If so - it's totally worth the money, especially on sales. Happy flying!
