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.

graphics
24 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe 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.”
