VelociDrone is a fast paced multi-player and single player FPV drone racing simulator. Using real world racing drones you can fly through an unlimited array of custom tracks with a variety of gates and barriers to hone your racing skills. Some of the gates even move! Our Time attack mode also lets you set the pace and improve with every lap whilst racing against yourself.
Due to technical problems outside our control we are unable to continue supporting the Linux versions of Velocidrone. Should these problems be resolved in the future we will resume support. Existing Linux versions will continue to function but MultiPlayer sesions will be confined to sesions with other Linux users.
Some drone flight simulators allow you to customize them for specific flying scenarios, so you can prepare for the exact situations you might face in your drone pilot work. Customizations can include the option to change the drone simulation environment as well as to change the type of drone being used in the drone simulator.
*Note: Pricing for both the Enterprise Version and Energy Version of DJI drone flight simulator is not publicly listed on the DJI site, so we are providing our best educated guess about the price range here.
This means that it comes with built-in classroom management and student progress tracking tools, which allow educators to track the progress that their students make while they use the simulator. An instructor can leverage these tools to see how often a student crashes his or her drone, and to track student progress in order to know whether students have improved over time or if they need more instruction.
Note: The above list is only of those controllers that have already been tested but other controllers may also work. To learn more about controllers for the droneSimPro drone flight simulator visit this page on the droneSimPro website.
In creating this drone flight simulator DRL sought the advice of leading experts on drone flight and conducted exhaustive testing and research. Every battery, motor and prop combination available was tested in order to determine the exact power curves of any potential drone combination.
Our simulator is not just a game, but a learning experience. Learn to fly various drones risk-free!
We are continuously working to bring you the most realistic experience in both physics and visuals. Next to using the most advanced game development techniques, we are also developing custom tools to provide the most unique and original experiences.
The simulator is based on existing drones and parts, including their measured parameters with the support of the manufacturers. We intend to grow by continuously adding more models. The Physics engine of RDS is based on real-life physics formulas, and the software includes a flight behavior pre-calculator simulation system to determine the flight characteristics of even custom-built drones.
Immerse yourself in realistic drone flying with our customizable graphics and settings, ensuring an optimal experience on your devices. For the best experience for the desktop version, the recommended setup is a computer with at least a 4-core CPU, 8GB RAM, a DirectX11 compatible graphics card with 4GB VRAM, and SSD for fast loading times. Desktop PCs perform better with next-gen shading and optimization techniques.
The Real Drone Simulator is free for personal usage. For commercial usage, please contact us at in...@realdronesimulator.com. If you would like to support the project and to be able to keep RDS free, then please donate us by choosing any of the available donation solutions.
Exciting changes are on the horizon! Stay tuned for the next major update and be part of the drone revolution. It will bring countless new features, new drones and parts, new existing Real World maps which include or based on 3D scanned objects / environments using various techniques and custom workflows to be able to process highly detailed and a huge amount of captured data. The User Profile system will be added to the new version, therefore users will require to register a free RDS account to be able to use the software. The registration will be available soon.
Hi there. I have an Oculus Rift, wireless xbox controller on my PC (high end with RTX 3090). I also have a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone. But, I do not own any FPV drone. I also have an old original DJI Mavic air with it's original controller.
I've find it hard to believe but, according to my google searches, DJI apparently still has not released a simulator for iOS.
Can anyone suggest an alternative?
P.s. If I am wrong about the lack of a DJI / iOS flight simulator , I'll be a happier camper.
Hope you can find something. I have been flying DJI Phantoms since the P2. So much of learning to fly a drone is the muscle memory you gain with practice on the buttons and sticks of the controller. I can't imagine a iPhone based simulator would be of any value for that. Situational awareness, in the sense of thinking/visualizing how the drone will move when it's not pointed directly away from you is something that only comes with a lot of flight time.
Hot rodding the drone is something you will never do in actual aerial photography. Slow and easy is how you will fly for that. Unless you are photographing a large site or property, higher is usually not better. If you are shooting real estate and the roof makes up more than 10-20% of the image, you are likely too high
Ken has given you some great info. As a 1st timer with a drone myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how well they handle and respond to the controls. A joy to fly! I bought the Mini2 2 weeks ago. I am sure you will be pleased also.
I'm pretty new to the hobby. I thought I'd learn to fly FPV ACRO through a simulator so I wouldn't have to bust up my quad. I flew in DRL and FPV Freerider for several hours each, but I'm having a hard time with the transition to real flight.
I think one of the main problems is the lack of wind in the simulators. I've looked around but can't find a consensus. What simulator feels most realistic and includes wind effects?
FPV simulators are basically computer games that allow you to fly an FPV drone in a virtual environment. They allow you to learn how to control an FPV drone using the proper radio. Simulators will never feel exactly like real life, but they let you practice flying skills without worrying about crashes regardless the weather 24/7.
FPV Sims are the best way to get started for beginner, to learn how to fly and improve your skills. Whether you are totally new or someone experienced learning a challenging freestyle trick, simulators can be highly effective for beginners and advanced pilots alike.
I really like the new system where you can race with the ghosts of pilots similar to your ranking. This system can motivate you to play, improve and move up your racking too. DRL is the online simulator that allows pilots on different platform to play together which is fun.
The point of a simulator is to help you learn how to fly and build up muscle memory. Just pick a simulator that feel real enough for you with graphics that you like (and runs smoothly on your computer).
Maintaining proper posture and ergonomics while flying in simulators. If you normally stand while flying, do the same in your simulator practice. If you wear a neck strap in real life flying, wear one while simming.
Make sure to set up a profile in your radio dedicated to simulators: simply duplicate your existing profile for flying your drones, and turn off internal and external modules in Model setup. This will save your transmitter battery while practicing in sims.
Hi Oscar, one good free simulator as well, which is a stripeed down version of RotorRush created to the Tiny Whoop team is the Tiny Whoop Go. tinywhoopgo.com/ it is quite fun and also event friendly. Small user base currently though, but RAB is planning some events soon on it .
You are confusing camera FOV and screen FOV.
What you choose in the simulator is camera FOV, so ideally you should be setting it to 90 degree or even higher to match the FPV cameras we typically use.

FPV Camera FOV: -fpv-camera-quadcopter/#fov
Please have a look at GTA5 with Quadcopter Mod. For a few bucks (and if you have a good gamepc) it has the best graphics and also the physics is very good! I have tried all and i must say after you have played with the physcis settings in GTA it feels as good as the other simulators
A new simulator called Zephyr came out recently. It seems awesome so far, they have a bunch of training challenges and a screen pops up after each challenge that shows you where you can improve. It looks like it was primarily made to teach new pilots how to fly, but it could also be a good tool for experienced pilots to stay fresh on the sticks. They have a lot more info on their website: zephyr-sim.com
Hi Oscar
There is new release for Quadcopter FX simulator on android which supports Google Cardboard VR where you can Look around in 3D environment and see your quad flying as in real life. Also the FPV experience with google cardboard is simply amazing. You guys will forget PC simulators after trying that.
I have bought freerider FPV and have to say, that its AWESOME. Very realistic (not ultimately, but its simulator no real life). It costs few bucks and you get updates every other day. I really recommend it.
Whether you are a seasoned fpv drone pilot or a person just getting started with this hobby, there always is a reason to fly in a quadcopter simulator. At the very least, if you are practicing a new trick or just practicing flying in general, it just might save you many crashes, money, and frustration while walking to get your quad after your 10th crash for the day.
