Description
Supports first person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying.
Supports self-leveling and acro mode, as well as 3D mode (for inverted flying).
Includes six sceneries and a track generator that can generate millions of tracks automatically by procedural generation.
Custom settings for input rates, camera and physics.
Option for low resolution mode (to be able to get higher framerate)
Google Cardboard style side-by-side VR view option.
Touchscreen controls support mode 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Mode 2 is default input:
Left stick - Throttle/Yaw
Right stick - Pitch/Roll
This simulator requires a powerful device. You will get best performance if you select low resolution and low graphics quality on the main menu. Also, if possible activate "Performance Mode" or similar in your phone settings to get the best performance.
Note that this is a RC flight simulator, not a game. You might find that the controls are hard, but that's because it's made to mimic real life. It is highly recommended to use a good physical controller.
If your device supports USB OTG and you have the right cable you can try to use a USB gamepad/controller.
There is a free demo available that you can try to see if it works with your controller.
Physical controllers are configurable between mode 1,2,3 and 4.
There is no guarantee that the simulator will work with your device/controller. If you have any problems please send an email and I might be able to help.
Controllers that have been successfully used include FrSKY Taranis, Spektrum, Devo, DJI FPV, Turnigy, Flysky, Jumper, Radiomaster, Eachine, Detrum, Graupner and Futaba RC radios, Realflight and Esky USB Controllers, Logitech, Moga, Xbox and Playstation gamepads.

3 ★ Like the game but just purchased a taranis x7s and am unable to use it on my Samsung s9.
3 ★ Great sim on the go. However, I'd like to be able to play more maps or have a map creator. I know its a mobile app but it'd make the sim much better and give more options to pilots who are using this to learn fpv controls. The maps are somewhat barren and small so I can't get as much practice as I would like due to limitations.
5 ★ This is the first simulator I have ever used and I am very satisfied with it. The gameplay is very smooth even on my relatively old phone. Although I don't have a cable to connect my transmitter yet, I learned how to do LOS flips with my real drone by practicing with the touchscreen joysticks! The only thing that I don't like is that the gravity feels too weak. Maybe in a future update we have a greater range of gravity to set? Other than that I think it's a totally worthy purchase! Thanks!
4 ★ Just bought this to help me learn the mechanics of flying a drone... my actual drone hovers in place when I let off the throttle, with a ps4 controller at least, the drone in the app is never hovering... unless I'm missing a setting, it would be awesome to add that feature as a setting, or maybe i just need more practice... thought... with joystic untouched it hovers in place but could rotate, throttle up it raises and throttle down it drops. Am I missing something in settings?
4 ★ Great game, although it lags a little bit on the island and car park map, even on lowest graphics. I have a mid-range phone (Xiaomi Mi note 10, snapdragon 730G, 6 GB RAM) so I think it can handle lowest graphics well. I'm pretty sure that it's an optimalizaton problem but I'm not an expert in mobile game development.
5 ★ Best real drone sim
5 ★ For the phone this is best simulator out there, people who are planning to use this on VR must know that you'll require a very good smartphone, the slow fps is noticeable in VR and it not pleasant to fly that way.
5 ★ By far the best simulator with spectacular perspective and augmentation. Just wanted some help as to how to connect a controller
5 ★ Very good. Kwad is floaty but can be fixed with gravity settings. Have not found a way to link pc account and mobile accounts.
5 ★ Never flown a real drone so I can't comment on the realism of the simulator. What I can say is that I'm addicted, and even though there are only a few maps, I never seem to get bored of this game. The touch controls aren't terrible, but I'd love to have some customization options over the size and placement of the simulated joysticks. The game runs perfectly when I connect up my XBox controller. This > some PC FPV sims. I'd love the game to log my lap times, or maybe let me race against a ghost.
4 ★ The best sim I've tried on android (and I've tried a lot). The only reason I marked it down is because the on-screen controls are garbage. However as soon as I hooked up an xbox controller everything felt smooth and worked amazingly. I'm yet to try a real radio as my flysky i6 is currently on it's way. All the tracks give you a mixture of obstacles and space to practice anyway you like.
3 ★ Could be better if I could link my Spektrum through my phone or something similar. Works okay tho. Flight is way off but playable
4 ★ It's pretty enjoyable for me after a couple of small tweaks in the settings. One thing I wish I could do was move the controls into a more comfortable position on the screen. It would also be pretty cool (to me at least) if I could just touch anywhere on the left and right side respectively to control the Sim. I've had that feature on other Sims/games in the past and I feel like it worked well. Thanks for all your work!!
5 ★ One of the best fpv simulators, but.... The only thing I can see that doesn't work is the VR option. I tried it with many vr goggles and the two images are slightly shifted so you can't have a clean vr image, I hope it gets fixed, can't wait to use it with vr! I think a good option would be to be able to shift the images to match them. Edit: vr problem fixed! 5 stars!
3 ★ Best option for mobile available. Good to get an overview about what it is like to fly an FPV drone but not reliable as a practical solution. I doubt physics of the simulator are close to reality. Some parts of the trajectory are hidden by my thumbs while using on screen buttons which is an obstacle.
