Best PC FPV Simulator // WE TRIED THEM ALL

Simulators are the best way to learn how to fly a racing or freestyle drone. They allow you to practice and improve your skills, race multiplayer, and try new freestyle moves. In this video, we will help you narrow down your choices by categorizing different simulators.

"Orca FPV Skydive" is the best free simulator in our lineup. It offers good physics and accurate simulation of prop wash oscillations. It provides onboarding sessions for new pilots, allowing them to learn about controls and maneuvers. The simulator regularly updates its levels, adding more variety and complexity. However, the size of the levels is limited.

Velocidrone is considered the industry standard for multi-GP style racing. It offers a well-rounded experience with robust online community support. The simulator stands out due to its excellent physics, variety of options (including five-inch quads and combat mode), and its popularity among top multi-GP racers.

"Uncrashed" is considered the best freestyle simulator due to its impressive level design and unique locations. Despite using purchased levels, the experience of flying around places like the flying cars from "The Fifth Element" is incredibly fun. The physics in Uncrashed are good but not exceptional. However, one downside is that it lacks multiplayer functionality, which may be important for some users who enjoy spectating or playing with other pilots. The price of Uncrashed is $14.99, making it an affordable option compared to other simulators.

Velocidrone is the best simulator for racing micro drones and tiny whoops. It offers a dedicated pack for micro drones, including small whoops and other quads, as well as tracks and elements specifically designed for them. The simulation of the microdrones in Velocidrone is of high quality, making it stand out from other simulators. Additionally, Velocidrone provides a multiplayer environment that fosters a strong community.

Tiny Whoop Go is a fantastic option for those looking for a free tiny whoop simulator. It offers great physics and provides an enjoyable racing experience. However, it may be considered too easy as crashing is forgiving and flipping your quad over is almost impossible. Despite its outdated interface reminiscent of CD-ROM games from the 90s, Tiny Whoop Go shouldn't be underestimated as it delivers a satisfying flying experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Liftoff racing is a highly enjoyable simulator, whether you're into whoop racing or not. One standout feature of Liftoff is its accurate modeling of real locations, such as my house and yard. This adds to the immersive experience when flying in the simulator. While it used to be considered the top freestyle simulator before Uncrash was released, Liftoff still remains a solid choice for many users due to its variety of levels and multiplayer options for both freestyle and racing modes.

"FPV Freerider" is the recommended simulator for low-spec PCs. It offers a simple and minimal package with basic environments and gates to fly around. Avoid the sequel, "FPV Free Rider Recharged," as it runs poorly even on high-spec machines. If you're unsure about compatibility, try any of the free simulators or take advantage of Steam's refund policy.

Discover the GTA5 drone mod, an add-on for the popular video game Grand Theft Auto 5. This mod allows players to fly a drone in the game's enormous and diverse open-world map. With endless possibilities for freestyle flying and exploration, this is a must-try for GTA5 owners with high-spec PCs.

"AI Drone Sim" is a simulator that allows you to emulate the physics of your actual drone. By importing data from your quad's black box files, the simulator can accurately replicate how your drone would fly in real life. While it may be challenging to set up initially, once configured correctly, the simulator provides a realistic flying experience with well-designed levels for freestyle flying. However, it lacks multiplayer functionality and its race tracks feel like an afterthought. Priced at $20, there are other simulators available with more comprehensive features.

The DRL Simulator offers the best overall value for money. It provides a variety of quadcopters to race, including both 7-inch and 5-inch quads. The simulator has excellent onboarding for new pilots with over 30 levels to progress through from beginner to advanced. It also features easy controller setup, ranking tiers online, multiplayer support, a track editor, and various cool features. However, the physics engine is tailored more towards the racer four seven inch quad used in their television show.

"EdgeTX" is a new software for Open TX radios that fixes the USB latency issue in previous versions. By flashing EdgeTX 2.5, you can experience much faster and more realistic gameplay on simulators.
