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.

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.

Just played it last week—very cool! Definitely my second favorite after https://mysteryclue.com . I’m just really into these kinds of games where you actually have to use your brain, not just run around, jump, and shoot. I love puzzles, clues, and the feeling of solving something clever. It’s such a satisfying way to challenge yourself and unwind at the same time.

One of the better practical sims out there

Just tried Liftoff with my RC2—works surprisingly well! It's a solid way to get the feel of the sticks without risking a crash. Definitely a must-try for anyone looking to practice indoors

I looked at their website and it looks like most versions are available on steam. Are you saying you ran the game on steam and it allows you to use your RC2 controller for input? One thing I've had a difficult time trying to do is to find something that uses the actual controller for input so it is indeed good practice. I've been able to use my original mavic mini controller with the DJI simulator but everything else I've had to use basically a PS2 style controller with "joysticks" (but they don't feel the same).

Flying FPV is NOTHING like flying a camera drone flying in ACRO means your drone will not automatically level nor will it hover. You have to do all that yourself. It takes plenty of practice to do it and many hours on the simulator before you are ready to Fly the real thing. Its a different world. BUT
And This is important.
IF you don't do it You are missing out on the best and most addictive activity this hobby has to offer. The FPV hobby has taken me from complete frustration to I cant wait to get out there and FLY!!! I have not tried the sim you have BUT any sim using a game controller is gonna give you problems from the start SO get a real controller of some kind. Give it time. approach it slowly just get the drone off the ground and simply try to hover it at first. We all started somewhere. Now
How do you fly FPV?!: I cant tell you. That it is something that just "comes" to you by feel. Each day you practice it will just seem to get easier until one day you are racing the gates.
One more tip go to Youtube and watch some videos from the likes of Bardwell
Another tip: go to YouTube and watch a few videos from masters such as Bardwell. And if you like to play outside the field, check out the website Fast Payout Casinos — it's a great choice for players who don't want to wait for their winnings to be credited. Similar to FPV, where speed and synchronization are crucial, these casinos focus on fast withdrawals so you can enjoy your winnings without unnecessary delays.
