UNCRASHED just had a big update that improved on almost all of your mentioned points. It now has multiplayer (freestyle and racing), a beginner tutorial (although quite short and unassisted) and an aestethically improved main menu.

personal experience: DRL: by far my favorite. So many maps, good training, can race friends. Menus feel old, feels like needs some updates. Liftoff: was my first and have always struggled. Dont like the racing, the lack of a reset position means you always have to reset race and i think its bad to learn on. Uncrashed: nice to fly about, physics are super generous, so you feel like a god as flying is so easy. Lacks allot of features. TRYP: the most promising, but is more of a cinematic sim. Mostly feel like im just flying about as maps are so big. Allot of potential here. I always tell people start with DRL, becasue of my preferance and the low price with or without a sale.

You reviewed an old version of FPV Freerider. The newest one is FPV Freerider Recharged - it's similar, except the maps are much better. For absolute beginners the presets to make the physics much more forgiving are quite useful. No multiplayer.

I’m also big fan of Liftoff 😌 I think it’s worth to mentions it’s large community of players in multiplayer mode. Being able to connect with other pilots, ask for advice or spectate how other pilots fly was incredibly valuable to me. Not talking about custom build maps 🔥

I'm a purely freestyle pilot and I find myself coming back to Velocidrone all the time. If physics isn't good you can't do good freestyle. It's the most important aspect for a sim in my opinion. (Have also tried Tryp, Liftoff, Uncrashed and DRL)

Yes. Velocidrone have best phisics of drone. But bad phisics of cars and wrong car size. When you already have a lot of experience flying a real drone, you can fly in simulators such as Uncrashed and Liftoff. Uncrashed requires settings to make the physics more similar to a real drone. High quality graphics in uncrashed can result in high control latency even with a good video card. DCL have "plastic phisics" typical for arcade games.

Some developers work hard to make a game look good and run well with minimum specs and that deserves recognition when it comes to judging a game.

For me, the super power of FPV Freerider is that it runs on a phone, and starts instantly. I have both versions, and I fly them when on a meeting that does not need my fullest focus, or when I have several minutes away from the computer.

great video, exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!

If you haven't tried. Assetto corsa (the racing sim) has an fpv mod. While its not that great as an fpv sim its Bella fun to hop onto an online drift session and fly a drone while other players are drifting.

Haha thanks my man 🙏

Started in Liftoff and Velocidrone years ago, Uncrashed is great, tried DRL, which was a total pain so refunded XD Liftoff is in my heart, love Steam Workshop with it and Uncrashed is right behind.

I have around 10 more FPV Sims than you list. Not mentioning Fixed Wing and Heli Sims dating back to FMS in the 80's. You say Freerider feels "old", well it is, try Freerider Recharged (which is also now getting on a bit, but is considerably better and runs well on very low spec gear. I fly real world quads many times every week, indoor and out, averaging over 8 hours flight time per week. My pick, in decreasing order is:- Uncrashed, Tiny Whoop Go (until it was ruined by a career forced path, so only versions pre that!), LiftOff, DRL, LiftOff Micro, DCS. All run on two very high spec gaming laptops. Main interest is Freestyle. Using an old Taranis X9D (set up now only for Sims with a purpose tuned memory used for each Sim) and where possible HDMI into goggles. I have but do not rate Tryp or Velocidrone very highly, in fact honestly I cannot see how people give the "Velocidrone has best Physics" tag that many state. Its OK, not more, and IMO much more angled to racing, as I'd rate its interaction with scenery unrealistic and graphics quality bordering on poor. Each to their own...........................

you forgot to mention that ther is in fact a combat mode dlc for velocidrone which is really fun if you have friends to play with

I happen to own DRL and Lift Off, great programs. Thanks for your efforts and time.

Have you tried FPV Logic? If so, what you rate it? Not a lot of reviews on it right now since it's still fairly new but from what I've seen, the graphics look pretty good and looks like it would be really fun

Thanks for the material and effort! I have started with Uncrashed and then went to Liftoff, and my question is how big of a difference are those with DRL and Velocidrone in terms of physics and skills transfer? Velocidrone with it’s packs is so expensive, especially considering that Liftoff is like 8$ in my region.

Must I have a drone controller to start playing with these simulators or can I use anything similar such as PS controller for example?

Great video. I decided to watch, I want to try my hand at Manuel mode with my Avata 2 and I just purchased Uncrashed sim before I watched this, so I guess I chose wisely. Hope it works with the controller 3....

SoI was going to skip sims because I thought flying it would be better practice… I was so wrong, sims really save you money(save you from crashing your drone). FPV is hard, Id recommend getting people get remote(they make decent ones for$50-$60) and trying sims before actually buying a drone. Also there’s a better kit than the Cetus c now, the only problem is drone isn’t meant for indoors.

Thank you so much for this video. I had been looking for guidance for months and also gave up. But you motivated me. I’m a photographer by hobby and flew Dji Majic Air but did not fly a lot either. I changed my drone Avata with inspire 2, motion and remote controller. I do not want to lose my drone just because I bought it I have to practice. I am not a fan of motion controller and always thought total manual flying would be much better. Again, no practice and scared. Now I know there are much better ways to learn fpv other than Dji’s simulator. I’m guessing I will get DRL and later Liftoff so I can learn how to fly, more in a cinematic way. I hope my Dji remote controller will work with this. Thank you again.

So good dude 😎

I have DRL Liftoff and Velocidrone.. and I have to say that the best sim for me is Velocidrone since it has the best physics and also online community. DRL is good for beginners training program. Velocidrone just have maps for it but does not limit your movements like DRL to adjust the sticks limits. Best part of Velocidrone is you can create your own maps, like similar place of your neighbourhood and fly around or real racing tracks to practice in sim. (with best physics) You can find a lot of real life tracks sim versions. LOTS of drone options including minidrones and big ones. If you become really good at flying drones, then you may want to try DRL competitions as he says to become real life challenger (top 8 overall) Otherwise just Velocidrone is fit for all you need from a simulator.. Realistic physics, creating own tracks and community.

Which one works with DJI RC-N1 remote?

Is it possible to use the DJI controller with screen for these?

Found it for under $CAD280 and that makes it definitely with it. I'll never see the hero 11 at that pricepoint

Very nice overview of the fpv sim options! Thanks for doing a nice job of comparing the pros and cons. Plus, my perspectives are well aligned. I agree that LiftOff and DRL are great options for almost everybody from beginner to those of us trying to build skills and practice when the weather doesn't cooperate.

Velocidrone = SIMULATOR if you want to learn FPV. Best choice for realistic Physics, that's the only award that matters among the ones you assigned. And multiplayer and community, where VD is still #1 by far.

The issue with graphics running on your Mac is that it requires a bunch of additional time and money invested from the simulator's developers to make it run smoothly. The people running FPV simulators (or any game-like program) are almost exclusively using the Windows operating system. It simply doesn't make financial sense to put all those resources into optimizing a simulator for Mac OS, when hardly anyone will use it. Tryp looks absolutely stunning running on any mid-range PC, with Uncrashed sim as a solid second place. Judging the graphics of a game based on how well it can run on your niche hardware doesn't make a lot of sense.

Great video. Must have taken a lot of effort. I use all of the sims and I would argue that AI Drone Sim has the best physics. You can even upload your own black box log so it feels just like your own drone. Would have been cool to highlight that but great video anyway! 🔥

In the notes it would be nice if you gave a list of the games to allow people to search for them easier

The physics in DRL are really weird, especially on smaller quads. Liftoff also has some physics omissions. Uncrashed, AI Drone Simulator and Tryp are the only ones I've played that properly model yaw, i.e. when doing an inverted yaw spin the motors have to speed up, pulling you down towards the ground. IMO any sim that doesn't have this is worthless for freestyle, as you'll build faulty muscle memory for pretty much any advanced tricks. AI Drone Simulator doesn't look great, but it has really realistic physics if you download a good setup from the workshop, plus you can load any UE4 level to fly around which is a cool feature.

I'm looking for a simulator that is most realistic to real life, that way if I buy a drone, I don't crash it and lose hundreds of dollars. It seems from the video, and the comments, that Velocedrone is the way to go. However, my follow-up questions would be which controller I should buy that would work both on my PC and an IRL drone. Then, the next question is which drone should I buy after my training, to have the easiest crossover from sim to real life that works with the controller I've been training with? My style preference would be freestyle/racing. Such as getting cool FPV videos of landscapes, buildings, and moving objects.

You forget Zero-G-Racer, Rotor, EreaDrone and FPV Logic. p.s. And perhaps "Death from above" and "FPV Kamikaze Drone"

I use TRYP maxed out on my pic and it’s insane. Super great graphics.

Kind of dont understand why you put Velocidrone that low and "only racing" sim. There are tons of quads, customizable, learning tutorials with probably best maps to learn the manouvers and actually to fly good and not like mavic pilots. The highest number of scene maps to fly in, tons of custom maps for download. Get veloci as your main for training, get Uncrashed for chasing/long range or Tryp if your machine can run it well on 60+fps. Anything over Liftoff 2020 physics and "features".

Are you also upset that it doesn’t run on your typewriter? Like you said, your MacBook is not a gaming PC. The fact that they’ll allow you to drop the detail enough to get it running is polite of them, but they cannot magically make your tablet-cosplaying-as-a-laptop suddenly become something that it isn’t. You complain about sims with basic graphics, but then complain when the sims with good graphics run poorly on the device that those basic graphics were meant for.
