Great overview and your comments for each are spot on. I live mostly in Uncrashed as well.
Thank you! Tried Liftoff and Uncrashed (as well as the DJI virtual app) and for the Avata, Uncrashed feels the best. Time will tell if my real life flying will prove it right. The only downslide is lack of a damage model. But I guess, this is why it's called "un" crashed :)
Completely new to this but Uncrashed looks gorgeous. If my FPV journey ends there at least I will have a nice Sim in my Steam library.
Great work thanks, love all your vids.. using them to build my first quad. You mention an article 'linked below' for the gravity settings etc for Uncrashed, did you ever get around to doing it?
I have all of them, I fly velocidrone far and away the most because grinding race maps has been the best way for me to improve my flying. I improved more in a month of flying tracks than I did in 6 months of just freestyling around. After that it's liftoff, because I also like their tracks and the graphics are nice (which I barely notice anyway). Uncrashed is third, but something I pick up once every couple of weeks. Mostly because it's so freestyle focused, and I just go there to putz around.
I too really enjoy hitting up race maps as part of just general stick time. It is a great way to work on control outside of just doing fancy tricks!!! Uncrashed is super freestyle focused, although they do have "some" race stuff in there...not nearly at the same level as some of the other options though. Going to do a separate vid on taking a look at some of the sims that lean more toward the race side of things :)
The grinding race maps thing I can totally relate to. Interestingly, though, I find that easier to do in Uncrashed than in Velocidrone. Will make the gravity adjustment suggested in the vid and see if that makes it more difficult in a realistic way...
This is how I learned as well. Hitting gates teaches you so much about control you don't really get if you focus on freestyle first. Now I mostly fly TRYP
So you suggest Velocidrone then? Im looking for a simulator and found this video..
I think the best one for learning really is the drone racing league, it has by far the best training progression of any I have tried, and I've tried a lot.
@@jackwritter1302
FPV just got on my radar tonight. Thanks for this video! Can’t wait to order my first controller and start practicing!
I can't wait to hear how it goes!
@@BaconNinjaFPV thanks! I actually bought a DJI air 2s a couple months ago (been slogging through part 107 course). Will the remote for that work with something like Tryp FPV?
@@AustinWestbrono 24:13
Thank you for the in-depth video!
you are very welcome!
Enjoyed this upload. Thanks.
I always enjoy seeing you down here in the comments! :)
Love the new studio setup. The purple is 🔥. Definitely my favorite color!!
I am really digging it too. I picked the color because it tends to show up well on most cam sensors and not be too abrasive, but it has been growing on me in a big way, lol.
Saw some FPV videos a few years back and decided to buy some parts and build my first one. Build and everything went perfectly and somehow didn't crash it. Moved to a state that is pretty windy most days and is cold and snowy for a huge portion of the year so haven't done much with it since. I've played with Liftoff a little bit and DCL when it released but neither of those felt anywhere close to real to me. Definitely very floaty, they don't seem to carry momentum or drop near as quickly as in real life so while part of me wants to practice up on a sim during the poor weather before hopping back into it and risking my actual drone, I don't feel like it would be helpful in the sense the floaty nature of the sim would negatively impact my real flights. Not to mention my drone feels much more powerful and responsive even than the sims which is also kind of stupid considering I built it for 6S but under power it with 4S trying to save money, figured the up front cost was a bit lower on top of the potential to crash and need new batteries lol.
Sim do tend to be floaty!! They usually take a little bit of tweaking to get the power to weight ratio correct and to negate some of that floaty feeling. I know I have for sure spent a ton of time in sims getting the quads to feel the way I want them to, and some are by far easier than others to get it done in. Nothing beats real stick time though!
Hey man, total beginner here but I was wondering if you had tried the different drone model settings to mimic your drones characteristics.
I'm looking into trying these sims but without a real drone to match it against I have no idea if they fly realistically/could hurt my future flying ability.
Thanks!
@@ARagedTaco I've tried to customize and change things quite a bit but never get the feel quite right. That said specially if you're a beginner the sim does really well with how they control, having flown my drone a bit before hopping into a sim is what bothers me I think, if a full throttle punch it from the ground and let off, mine falls like a rock compared to the sim feeling like a feather. But getting the feel for how pitching forward and back to gain or scrub speed, turning etc the sim will do a perfectly good job getting you comfortable doing that IRL.
I just started watching your videos, thanks for share your experience, I from mexico and here the informatios is few,
You are very welcome, and thank you for checking them out!
In Lift Off I do find some substantial differences in the way settings affect the flight dynamics. But I do agree that Velocidrone is way more fun to fly.
Velocidrone is a standard must have for sure!
Wow nice video thank u.😊
Thank you as always for checking it out :)
I haven’t tried Uncrashed for a while, so I might need to try it again.
For sure worth coming back to for another look!
I'm fairly new but I've had sims and a controller for about 6 months. I started with Velocidrone and Tryp. I haven't felt a need for anything else, but I've thought about Uncrashed.
Vdrone and TRYP are great options! Uncrashed is worth a try for sure, but it sounds like you aren't lacking for good sims to fly in even with the first two pics you got there.
@@BaconNinjaFPV I just tried Tryp using my HDZero goggles for the first time. That was pretty awesome!
Bacon Ninja, I really enjoy the video.. almost feel deezy jhajahaha, the last 2 games look crazy good... but, me and my dad... kinda want to "practice" normal drone fligh... not FPV, we are planning to buy a "dji mini 4 pro" casual drone. So.. I would like to know if you have any recomendation. thanks a lot ^^
Thanks alot..
In Liftoff:
building on the bench
changing props, motors, frames, for sure changes the flight characteristics. I don't understand how you would even think that it doesn't . It very much does change the way the quad handles, and feels.
I only have a few hundred hours in it, and I do notice that it changes the weight when you swap parts around. Especially on batteries and HD cams, those will change the weight for sure. As for the flight feel though, swapping props or motors around don't feel like they really do anything to me, but that could absolutely just be a me thing! Now if it had physics adjustment sliders to change things like drag, graviational ratios, lift coefficients, and axis balance, I would be totally down for that! I had heard at one point they were going to add those, but I never saw it in an update. Maybe it is still on the road map though!
I agree that swapping motors and props totally changes the way the drones fly. I guess some people will be able to feel it and some people can’t.🙏🏻
@@ExplorewithZac I don't know, man… putting a set of Nijacraft-5051 props with a set of 2207-2650Kv motors on the same frame as a set of HQ-5040s and a set of 1804-2300Kv motors, is pretty hard to ignore. I'm thinking, maybe he just didn't fool around with it for very long.
You sir are underrated
❤this was really great work... when I "thought" I knew all of this... I really didn't, and I respect your opinion... the proof is in the bacon 🥓😹 totally forgot about uncrashed; I didn't have a rig that could run it back then. Thanks homie!
lol, I hear you can read your future by looking at the bits of bacon left in a pan amongst the grease after a hearty meat filled breakfast :p I really appreciate you stopping by!!!
need more details on the uncrashed settings. I'm about an hour into it and i've figured out tilting the camera affects the perceived speed and pitch, but it still feels super twitchy. As a FPV noob I need a bit less twitch in my sticks lol.
Just found your video, installing Uncrashed right now but I don't see a link to your article about the settings you change to make it more realistic. Am I blind? lol
fpv freerider was always my go to in the past.
Okay sorry for the long text in advance but can somebody please clarify, is there a reason and if so what is the reason that "The Drone Racing League Simulator" is not on the list? I'm asking because i got it for free on epic games at some point and i realized it can be played by a console controler as well so recently i got into it and it all instantly made sense.. took me a couple of hours to actually start flying in the sim and now when i watch real life FPV videos i look at it totally different like before i would think "how tf is this possible" and now when i watch i can understand the principle and i feel like i could fly in real life... but the other thing is i feel like the physics in DRLS like gravity sucks so i need advice from you guys, should i stick with DRLS or should i go for something from this video? :D
Hey did the article ever come out? Couldn’t find it on your website
Thank you ! Was really looking forward to this one ! I am starting my journey with the flywoo cinerace20 for its ability to fly indoors! Don’t have access to large outdoor spaces easily! Can you suggest a good sim for something like that. Thank you again for your content. Loving it 🤩
Liftoff: Micro Drones is for whoops and small drones. However it's still not at version 1, but it is fun
@@fokusfpv There are some 3inch, maybe 2inch(?) models in Regular Liftoff. As far as flying indoors, you can build your own tracks, so you would be able to model anything you need to practice.
I would really recommend velocidrone with the micro class pack. Plenty of good indoor spots in that one and a lot of smaller standard quads too.
Thank you ☺️
Good Job! I Love Uncrashed, (400 hrs ) but even on very high end gaming laptops, it will bog down and become unusable. Have you seen this? Particularly when I change the maps. Getting out of Uncrashed and back in sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. Shutting PC down and back in helps sometimes also. I notice this after flying for 20 mins or so. Is it heat? Are there setting I can do to eliminate it? BTW calling my dji fpv a potato was hurtful.
You used 2004 motors for your 3" inch build. For that or for 3.5" inch builds in general what is your opinion on 2004 vs 1507 (rcinpower smoox m2 2680kv 6s in particular). Stator volume is almost the same and the taller motors should be more responsive?
I think the 1507 are a great option! The reason I went the way I did with mine is purely personal preference. For the same stator volume, the 2004 is significantly shorter which has led to many fewer bent motor shafts during hard crashes. Since my build weighs more than the average 3" build, that was a big consideration for me when choosing. Nothing I hate worse than bending up a tmount shaft in a crash, lol.
I have tons of ppl asking me to do nice edited footage of huge properties etc... best sim for this?
Can you use the mavic pro controller for uncrashed
Are any of these in VR? im looking for a FPV sim that has the option to go(or only) in VR, can be on pc or on oculus (i have a quest2). i dont really care about graphics but i want it to feel as real as possible, so that when i fly one in real life i can be better at it. :D
HI, may i know how do i connect my dji smart controller to uncrashed?
Great top 6 fpv Sim list. I like the bacon strip ratings. Need some eggs to go along with it. 🥓🍳☕🤓
Thank you!!! Maybe I can do an egg for like a .5 marker. Like, a little side dish for the greasy meat, lol.
Hi. Can't seem to find the link to the optimisations article you mentioned. Have you had a chance to put it together yet?
Its not you, its me...lol. I have been so busy with work that I haven't been able to finish writing it. I really do hope to have it done soon though!
Have you played FPVLogic? I keep seeing clips and it looks shockingly realistic compared to what I’ve bought and flown (Liftoff & Velocidrone) Just curious if the physics are as good as it looks
I havent, but it looks pretty sweet! I will for sure be updating this video in the early part of 2024 looking at some of the options that have come out in the mean time :)
DCL is my favorite and not mentioned in this video!...I have flown them all...DCL rocks and has kick ass graphics!
DCL is indeed a great sim! I was focusing on mostly freestyle for these and I had DCL, DRL, and a few others lined up in another list that focused more on racing (although you can freestyle them). Life just kinda got in the way and I haven't done that list yet :(
Good video friend, I currently only use Uncrashed, a multiplayer mode would be nice. What is difficult for me is to adjust the FOV, distance, angle of the camera to how I see it on my dvr, I can't get it to be the same and I think it's important.
Have you tried any other Sims? I have tried Uncrashed, and Liftoff. I am looking for other people's perspectives on various Sims.
@@Inertia888 Yes, I tried a few, Uncrashed is the one I like the most and entertains. DRL also had me hooked for a while, Although this one is more focused on racing.
The cam angle shouuuuld be a slider in there if I remember correctly in the drone settings. As for the FOV and things, I usually just get it close and live with it in sims...not the best answer I know, lol. Flying with a screen is just so much different anyway so I guess I let it be what it is. I did do goggles for a while, but I didn't like that much.
@@BaconNinjaFPV While you're in a map you can just use the up and down arrows on the keyboard to change camera angle in Uncrashed (and I think Liftoff). For Velocidrone it's page up and page down.
I fly with goggles occasionally, but I find that I get some slight vertigo flying sims with the goggles. Doesn't happen with a real quad though.
Thanks for the excellent review. I remember seeing Ukrainian drone operators playing one in a bunker between drone missions, the one with the cars.
heey! hope you doing great, what do you think about the new simu, "FPV LOGIC"
Awesome RUNDOWN 👍🏻😎
My daily SIM, is Liftoff, I have TrypFPV, love the graphycs, but is to floaty, I think I'll buy the Uncrashed SIM. Cool
Ooh, what do you think about the GTA 5 FPV Drone Mod?
There are some tweaks in each one to get them just right, that is for sure! The GTA V mod is pretty darn awesome, and hopefully I will put a video out soon about how to set it up :)
@@BaconNinjaFPV That would be AWESOME..Can't wait to see it 👍🏻😎
You have almost named them all!
There were a few I left out of the list, but not too many, lol.
Dang it ...I got to get me a decent computer. My old iMac just can't handle any Sims. ... great review , very thorough ! Stay greasy 😂
lolol, i didn't mean to make you want to spend more money :p
Aside from learning how to fly, this 10:02 is the reason I want simulators..I wonder if I can do it without throwing up my cheeseburger
uncrashed!!!
hands down my favorite out of the line up!
Feels floaty.
@@FuncFPV add 2 deg to camera angle
Uncrashed is sic
Is it run in a i5-1135G7 with Intel iris xe graphics?
I have flown tryp fpv, lift off fpv, fpv freerider, drl sim. I have been flying tryp and lift off the most lately. Fpv free rider is ok to learn the stick but can get boring. Drl is fun but not the most realistic. Lift off is fun but harder the drl to fly and tryp fpv feels way different. Its funny how all these games simulate the same thing but feel totally different. With that being said there is nothing like going out and flying a real drone!
Ooooof, Liftoff #4 bro??? The DLC’s are great and the tutorials are better than most.
It really does have some great tutorial sections! It got 4th mostly because the physics aren't as configurable or as good out of the box as some others and some of the DLC content available in Liftoff is part of the single price base package in others.
Bacon strips? Hell yeah! Extra crispy please!
always extra crispy!!!!!
That microphone is sick af.
You've earned your bacon.
On uncrashed the foliage looks absolutely terrible if you don't have anti-aliasing turned on (ideally set to at least medium). For months I had it turned off because it's cpu intensive and not really a big deal for most games I play. I could never understand how people said the graphics were good on uncrashed when the city park map and any other map with a lot of trees looked horrific. Turning anti-aliasing to medium makes a night and day difference for the way the game handles foliage.
the anti-aliasing (assuming your pc can handle it) really does make a massive difference in that one!
Interesting ai drone is my favorite one. I play on a 43in 144hz 4k monitor. And it doesn't look that bad in 4k. Mines not leggy or disconnected feeling. It does take alot of power to play it though. 3090ti, 5950x and 64gb cl16 ram here. So maybe could be why. But I do play it on my i7 3060 laptop too. It struggles more there. I've also spoke with the dev about issues and he was a super cool dude.
If I had to rank I would do
1. Ai drone
2. Uncrashed
3. Tryp
4. Velocidrone
5. Liftoff.
Not a fan of drl, liftoff or the orqa one. I play them all some I like racing more some freestyle lol.
oh man, a 3090ti is one heck of a card. It seems to run fine at 1080 on my 2070, but the disconnected feeling appears to be unrelated to anything my machine is doing to render frames. Not sure what it is, but AI drone sim just stood out for doing that when none of the other ones I have played in the past really did it as badly. Having said that though, I know there are a ton of people who agree with you though! That is really why I kept it on the list when really for me personally I don't enjoy it much :)
@@BaconNinjaFPV haha the 3090ti could probably cook some bacon on the back plate. It's like flying in summer when you sim. You sweat and everything 😆
Thanks!
And what of them has trainings?
The first reason for me of buying a sim - is lesrning to fly. And it's good if I have a traning map with simple way, oylons, gates .. but it's only half. Ir even less - because I really need someone to teach me, to tell how to move sticks and why drone reacts in one or another way...
Just try one and fly. Ability to self-learn without handholding is a powerful skill
@@TheCivildecay yes. But the question of time and 'correct' skills-reflex. You can learn to play gitar by yourself, but then will need spend internity relearning playing corectly
I would say the one with the best training lineup is Liftoff. It has a section where JB shows you how to fly that can be pretty helpful and it mimics a one on one kind of thing. It isn't too deep, but it can get you in the air :) most of the other ones have a small intro as well, with the exception of AI Drone Sim.
@@petrokey that’s not how it is it’s easy to learn just by trying and there’s no „right way“ it’s like learning to walk with a tutorial it doesn’t work like that and a simulator isn’t supposed to teach you how to do tricks it’s supposed to help you get a feeling of how a quad works moves etc and give you muscle memory
DRL (Drone Racing League) Simulator has a step by step in depth tutorial and Joshua Bardwell has a playlist called How to Fly a FPV Quadcopter/ Racing Drone that has 25 videos that take you step by step through learning using an old sim called FPV Freerider using what was then the free/demo version. There may still be a free/demo version of it out there, but the full version costs $5.99 and is still available. The tutorial was from way back in 2015, but it is really good. Joshua has certainly become a lot more polished in his delivery since then, but has always made great content. That playlist is how I first found his channel. It was his gift to his subscribers when he first hit 1000 instead of a product giveaway.
What do you recommend for learning with DJI Avata? In manual acro mode?
The avata doesn't appear in any 3rd party sims unfortunately :( You can get similar physics, but honestly the best way is going to be on your smart phone. You can use the DJI Fly app connected to your DJI goggles to fly with your DJI radio using the correct physics and control setup :) You will need to make sure that your avata, radio, and goggles are all paired first before trying it.
@@BaconNinjaFPV Regardless of the drone model, which one? Uncrashed or liftoff?
will chach out Uncrashed, i have DRL, and its alot of fun. Should have been on the list . The Drone Racing League
DRL is really great! I have it on another list though for more "racing league" style sims that will be coming out before the end of the year :)
What kind of controller are you using and how do you guys connect it to your PC?
I am using a RadioMater TX16S. I would say most of us are using some kind of radio that runs EdgeTX or OpenTX since they tend to be the ones we fly actual quads with as well. On radios using that firmware, connecting it to he computer is super easy! You just plug it up, a menu pops up, and you select HID input to make the computer see it as an input device.
@@BaconNinjaFPV Thanks for the info. I finally got my TX12 to work on Liftoff.
Get them ALL and fly them ALL!!!
I 100000000% agree!!!
uncrashed is the sim i play it just feels the best for me velocidrone is my second .
I am right there with you! I just slide TRYP right in the middle there though, lol.
thanks. I wanted to most realistic game because thats what a simulator is intended to be
Hello why does the game fpv skydive look completely different on my pc, the menu is different and the grafics are horrible but why, can you help me?
hmmmm, im not sure on that one. The version I used for this video was the most recent at the time, but it is possible that they updated it at some point. What kind of PC specs are you running it with?
Hey New MIc... with LED..!! cool.
Yeah I thought I would try something new, and I have been enjoying it more than I thought I would! "technically" it is a mic downgrade, but having one with a USB DAC is so much easier than coming in over an XLR to an interface. Pretty nice to just sit down and go within a couple of button clicks now :)
cool
Yeaa 5 strips for us 😁🙌
a very well deserved 5 strips I might add!
I am new to this drone flying, have been a manned commercial fixed wing pilot for years, this it much harder for me than flying an actual aircraft, maybe it's because I forgot how hard it was to learn to fly a manned aircraft 45 years ago. But anyway, this is a whole different skill set. For me DRL is the est simulation, at least to start with.
Surprised you left out DRL and DCL the game from this list. Although they are both geared mor toward multiplayer competative racing, they also have tons of freestyle maps and lots of options for building drones and I know in DRL you can load up community made drones. Check them out if you haven't already.
I have the radiomaster t8 lite v2 is it good?
It is not a bad starter radio at all! Great for getting some initial stick time in on a sim. There are better radios out there for sure, but nothing wrong with that one to learn with.
Yeah I'm working on my own Drone business/ fpv shop here in West Virginia and things have been going south I just lost a HS E700 in the Ohio River it we t crazy and I had no control . So that's why I got the controller with the Sim
Apakah bermain mode LOS ACRO pd sebuah game simulator itu penting? Terima kasih 🙏
Honestly most of the sims are going to be focused around FPV in acro mode since LOS is so hard to emulate. The quad constantly moving far away from you makes it hard to see on a computer screen and it would be really easy to totally lose the thing in there and not know where to look. I find that flying LOS in person is probably the best way to get good at it...but man does that get expensive. lol
What happens if I can fly pretty well??? Do I need a sim?
if you can already fly pretty well, then a sim is really optional! I still like to have one for those times when I feel like flying but can't get out...they are great for that. As for something where you can get practice with huge settings, I would go with TRYP as it has some of the biggest areas.
Di antara game di atas manakah yg mempunyai mode los..??
if you mean line of sight, then I am not sure which one would have that. There aren't many I can think of that do since it is so hard to see the quad from that angle in a game and keep the camera looking at it. If you mean 3rd person, most of them have a mode for that and hang with the quad from a rear angle usually :)
Which of these are available on Console?
I believe out of these Liftoff is. There is also DCL and DRL as well I believe! The difference will be that on the consoles the sims are very "gameified" so they don't simulate reality quite as well. Still a ton of fun though!
What is your opinion about DCL Games?
I have to spend a little more time with them, but I know quite a few people who really preffer DCL sim. I find it a bit too racing focused, and it has many more actual game mechanics than I would prefer, but the basics of the game are pretty solid.
I'm good with bacon strips, As long as Bacon does NOT strip ;)
I reserve that for the paid content ;)
@@BaconNinjaFPV LOL, appreciated 👍
Anyone like TRYP? I like it
I see it’s in the list! I like it a lot
it is one of my favorites :)
Lift off is second favorite...After DCL...
How is Fpv Logic?
I haven't gotten to spend too much time with that one since it came out, but I do hear good things! I am going to update this vid in 2024 to include some of the awesome new stuff that has come out since then :)
you funny man
Thank you!! :)
#1 Uncrashed FPV simulator - Best
#2 FPVSIM + Google Earth API
#3 BeamNG FPV Sim mod
#4 AI Drone Simulator
#5 Velocidrone
#6 Liftoff
#7 Tryp
#8 GTA mod
#9 DRL
#10 Orca
#11 FPV Skydive
#12 CurryKitten
I still need to check out that BeamNG mod! I picked that game up a long time ago and re-downloaded it when you mentioned it last time, I just haven't gotten a chance to get it modded up and try it out :(
I enjoy DRL the most!
Are the simulators in ps4 just as good??
Better than nothing but a real radio is a lot different to a PS4 controller and you'd need PC for that
As a guy that just started with a tx16s I got Uncrashed but it was eh to learn on tbh drL is the best I think then get yo ass on uncrashed for some better irl maps
I have DRL in my next list for more racing focused physics :) It isn't a bad sim at all, I just didn't want to mix the lines too much yet. I also love how it comes up on the Epic store for free sometimes!
What about FPV simulators with VR support. There are any?
Well you can always use your VR google as Monitor. Just make the game run windowed and then stream the desktop to your vr goggles. Ofcause you cant look around, but you wouldnt be able to look around ofcause, but you cant IRL either
@@kratzeni It's something. Probably not same as real life, but... something.
@@marekjakimowicz Dont understand what you mean
@@kratzeni I mean, that is some idea.
I brought lift off and my issue was the content ... i even brought the slip stream and night pack. Just a heads up ... dont bother with the night pack gosh i regret buying that ... slip stream is kinda nice though but feels like it should have been with the base game. but it just feels so lacking and a few maps i just cant play like the parking lot, France with a gigantic low hanging net that removes half the fun of flying in a city ? ... where is my ability to spin around the Eiffel tower ... such a disappointment.
several of the maps are tree lines ... no open field with trees dotting around just packs of trees, and trees in liftoff are just death zones ... you cant fly past branches, their just a zone of damage that make trees incredibly un fun to be near.
Then if you go to the open levels your left with overly WIDE open fields with a timer .. by the time you fly to the stuff you want to trick on you run out of time.
this resulted in me playing only 3 maps, Golf, The broken tower *forgot the name* and the race track, and just power looping for score since it seems to give the most. which gets old fast.
(oh dont get me started on that tutorial ... ill spare you it but oh boy i HATED that tutorial ... "here is a video .... you cant skip ... ok now do exactly what the video said *fails and has no idea why*"
I think you should rate things on a greasiness scale. Obviously the greasier the better. We all know a greasy life is a good life, and that's why we stay greasy.
Thank you
I had thought of a greasiness scale and doing something percentage based, but then I couldn't decide between that and the strips, lol. Maybe I will give one a shot at some point!
what about DRL SIm?
that one is going to show up on a different list that is more race focused. I know lots of people like to freestyle in DRL, but the physics are just geared more toward that larger racing format and I think it will hold a better place over on that list :)
Hi can we have your rate?
Absolutely! I have them up on my web page :) www.letsgetgreasy.com/post/bacon-s-rates
Great job we need more freestyle and race pilots
Thank you!!! I am going to do another one of these on racing as well, and probably something on tiny whoops since there are some sims dedicated to those. Hopefully it helps someone out there get a taste of all the different FPV flavors :)
For me the physics in Tryp are a big let down. I play the most velocidrone and sometimes liftoff, I’ll give a try to uncrashed
Vdrone has some pretty great physics, but I do have to adjust a few things in my setup to make it feel more like my real life quads. I have to do the same thing in TRYP though, and I agree that out of the box the physics in that one aren't the best. After some fiddling though, they can get pretty good!
@@BaconNinjaFPV It'd be great if you make a video about your TRYP settings
is DRL simulator bad?
no, not at all, it is a very good sim! It didn't make this list just because the physics are geared more toward the DRL style of flying and not so much for freestyle, but for the kind of flying it is designed for it is great.
lol my computer is circa 2009 dell so no sim action for me, even though it was the badest dell they had then . so i just fly n crash can buy alot of parts for $1000 lol
lol, hey that is one way to do it!!! IRL stick time is a little better anyway :)
Tryp FPV looks nice but I can’t get over how floaty it is.
it is a tad floaty out of the box for sure! It gets a whole lot better after a few tweaks to a custom quad though.
@@BaconNinjaFPVbut you can’t change the aerodynamics in race mode. Makes it unplayable
Drink every time this guy says "Decent"
Good luck
Vocabulary induced inebriation!
Check out dcl and drl.
Those two are going to appear on another more racing focused list :)
@@BaconNinjaFPV Hey there! What do you say about physics in DRL? I’m just starting and only bought tango 2 for practice in a sim and got drl. Now I’m thinking is it worth my time at all. Don’t wanna be in a situation when all my skills in drl are not going to translate in real life :)
Shoutout to BonerFPV for creating some of the best custom Velocidrone maps ever! Most of Dynamic Polyworld is his work!
absolutely!!! I always love his maps!
Shoutout as well to all the Redding maps, absolutely love them, well designed and beginner friendly :)
YAY BONER
Velocidrone with true lens is the only sim which displays FOV in a realistic way. The rest only stretch the image like 25 years ago in quake. Super super lame.
I havent really noticed that much in other sims, but I am probably just not really bothered by it I suppose. Velocidrone is a great sim though and honestly one everyone should keep in their library!
is this a game? or does it have to use my real drone?
My favorite is DRL. Not even qualified to be in this list.
That one is going to show up in another list that isn't as freestyle focused. I too enjoy DRL, the physics and layout just lend themselves a little more toward the larger format racing side of things. Going to be a whole different list when it comes to that side of it for sure!
Also sky FPV has a mobile app
I have been wanting to try that one out lately! Probably gonna have to do that soon :)
@@BaconNinjaFPV it's horrible, don't. I think with alot of practice it might be okay but the controls are ridiculous
I feel like drones are only are the future. And have come a long way, i don't see how anyone would buy a sim that has one quade. It's like if realflight had one plane. and you paid for it.
Thanks for the vid but the bacon strip idea is dumb as hell
hey, I appreciate the honesty! :)
The GTA 5 Quad Cheat is fine with me as a simiulator 😂🤔🔥🤘😎🤘🔥
lolol, now that is one I didn't include! I remember trying it back in the day though and honestly it wasn't too bad!
The Liftoff devs are lazy and rude. If you ask them for anything, they will tell you the game is already perfect and if you don’t like it then don’t use it. I hate Liftoff for that reason alone, the devs are jerks.
I've not had any experience with them, but based on what you are saying...im not sure I would want to, lol
