Drone Simulator/Video Game?

[Hoolazar]

So I went with a different game on PlayHop. It got great reviews. It's call DRL Simulator. I'll be honest here. I can't fly these things. I literally can't even get through the tutorial. I can't see any conceivable way, that a drone like some they make you fly in the tutorials can even exist, from a control standpoint.
But it's supposed to be super realistic. I guess if this is even remotely what flying FPV drones is like... Count me out.

Yeah its kinda hard the first 10 attempts but the more I tried, the further I got in the tutorial.

With the first tier, everything was fairly straight forward. It flew much like my drone. I think the "hover", or lack thereof, is key to where everything went wrong when I moved to training tier 2. All it asked me to do was fly a simple S curve. After at least 50 tries I have given up. I either couldn't stay close enough to the line. Or crossed over it. It was totally alien to me. Which quite strange as I've played video games since home consoles became a thing. If FPV drones fly anything like this game portrays them to; I need to stay well clear of them for my wallets sake. I may fiddle with it some more, but unless something clicks, and I have some sort of epiphany... I just cannot do it.

i made a small game that is like flying a drone and you can play it with a gamepad

Null Gravity Labyrinth on Steam

Find and touch the golden cube to exit this abstract labyrinth. When touching a spinning cube all elements with the same color as the cube will disappear and new paths will form. When you touch a portal it will teleport you to the connected portal of the same color.

Are there any good drone simulators, or video games, that are useful for practicing with the actual drones that people own? Being able actually use the the controller that came with your Drone would be very helpful to boot. Is there such a thing? If so, anything on consoles like XBox?

Oh, gotcha, my bad! Yeah, there are some games and simulators for drones, and a few let you plug in the controller that came with your drone.


For PC, Liftoff and VelociDrone are pretty popular—they're kinda racing-focused but work well for practice. Some people swear by them for getting the hang of FPV stuff.


On consoles like Xbox, there’s the DRL Simulator (Drone Racing League). It’s a bit more game-like but still decent for practice. I'm not 100% sure about hooking up your drone's actual controller to these on Xbox, though—on PC, it’s easier with USB adapters.


Honestly, the console options are kinda limited for serious practice. It’s more of a "have fun while you learn" thing. For further information visit Beach Buggy Racing.

There is an app called SimuDrone which can use dji contoller to operate. What I like is no game mission or time restriction, just fly freely around a rural area with huts and hills to practice my drone filming skills.

Loving Beach Buggy Racing lately! It's got the same addictive vibe as Block Blast, but with way more action and chaos. Anyone else switch between the two games?
