This should be the standard for FPV sims, the ability to completely change your drone and physics to what feels right for you is amazing. There are many massive freestyle maps and dozens of races to try. The map creator is a tad difficult to learn how to use but once figured out is pretty intuitive. Also the training modules are perfect for someone who has never flown sim or real life. There are many controllers that it is compatable with but double check yours will work before buying the sim. WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND

It's probably one of the best FPV simulators for it's price, it's great as a first simulator, offers great drones which you can custom, lots of maps (which are also customizable) and pretty good graphics. Physics are pretty good, but it's focused too much on the DRL Racer 4, and all drones fly more like it (heavy and underpowered, also drifty and harder to control at nigh speed). The damage is great, but once again, it's only available for the DRL Racer 4. Also there are lots of small bugs, which are slightly annoying. I would recommend it if you don't want to spend a lot of money on better sim (it's a great sim, don't get me wrong) and have a lot of customizability, great multiplayer, official tournaments, OK physics and good graphics. If so - it's totally worth the money, especially on sales. Happy flying!

Works with EMAX Included ELRS Remote that came with my TinyHawk Freestyle 3 Youll need to do full calibration and define the zero and half stick points for emax throttle. Works with DJI FPV3 for the new AVATA2, it shows as HID interface. activate your remote with DJI first or it wont work. If you own the drone, activate with the goggles. If you only own the controller you must Plug into PC and use DJI assistant 2 For Consumer Series drones to activate. DID NOT work with wireless Xbox 1 controller, did work with a wired controller. It did not work when plugging my wireless controller in, I used a different wired only controller. You can start off on a gamepad, but understand you will not develop the proper muscle memory for FPV throttle. If the day comes that you finally get a quad and remote please for the love of god plug your new remote into the simulator and train with that for another 30m/1 hour. Do not run outside and fire up your new remote and quad on gamepad experience like I did. You wont have proper throttle muscle memory built up, and it can be very dangerous. I got pretty good on XB1 pad and my first real drone flight was a really shameful flyaway that nearly lost me my drone in the first 2 minutes.

Absolutely need a game controller. Keyboard play is not worth it. The "beginner" and "intermediate" modes offer limited fun. Switch to the "pro" mode early. It's fantastic fun, despite also being immensely frustrating at first. The feeling of going fast and chaining together a set of checkpoints is very much worth the learning curve.
