A good FPV Simulator needs 3 things1. Accurate and realistic physics 2. Good maps that replicate real-life conditions 3. A fun multiplayer, because flying alone is boring There are other simulators that do 1 or 2 of those quite well, but none really do it all for me. So in 2024 I started with a little prototype to see if it's possible and quickly had something that already felt better than mos…
- Exceptional and highly realistic flight physics closely mimic real-life FPV freestyle drones, superior to many other popular simulators.
- The simulator is easy to use and accessible out-of-the-box, with minimal setup required, allowing immediate flight practice and skill improvement.
- Multiplayer features including flying with others, friendly community chat, picture-in-picture spectating, and real location-based maps add significant value.
- Limited number of maps and drones, with some maps containing bugs and graphical glitches that detract from immersion.
- Basic and somewhat rough graphics and user interface, along with occasional UX issues such as tiny menus, missing features like throttle curve adjustment, and lacking some polish.
- Performance bugs including crashes in certain modes, no vsync option leading to screen tearing, and some control input complexities or missing bindings.

The graphics in this FPV simulator are generally considered basic and somewhat simplistic, with a focus on functionality rather than visual fidelity. However, recent updates have notably improved visuals and performance, especially on newer hardware. While the graphics may not impress those seeking high-end visuals, users agree the strong physics and smooth gameplay are the main attractions.
“The new graphics update is pretty crazy: it is both the nicest looking graphics and highest fps of all the FPV sims I have tried on my M1 Mac.”
“Latest graphics update significantly improved visuals and performance on 16GB M1 Air.”
“Graphics are pretty good for a simulator, but you are here for the physics and they are great!”
“I don't expect top-tier graphics from an indie title, I know this isn't about the visuals, but if you are going to use such simplistic graphics, at least make them bug-free.”
“The graphics are quite bland, so I would love to see some improvements there along with better sounding drone audio.”
“So while I could complain about the relative lack of maps or the last-gen graphics, none of those things are as important as how the drones actually fly compared to real life.”
