And another things to note, Uncrashed will have multiplayer ! Update coming for the february 20 😎
Just got it and its 10/10 :D wery nice
Awesome! ✌️
UPDATE its hear lol
where do i dowload it
@@Moza617 Its on steam
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.
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)
Agreed. Tried a few sims and and physics feel the most drone like. The tutorials are great, they teach you how to fly FPV. Not just a load of gates to fly through like most others.
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.
even tryp 2.0? they redid the physics but idk if its better..
@@tommaillard1415 Have not tried that but the first had really bad physics.
@@feelfreefpv if you retry the new update for Tryp and it’s good lmk lol. I heard it had become the best sim this year but it’s personal I think.
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.
Liftoff Microdrones is imo perfect for beginners. Train on a beta fpv quad and then buy their drone bundle. I started with the nlrmal liftoff version but find myself enjoying micro drones more and more
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 🔥
Velocidrone FTW
Tryp has the best physics and tuning developed with Betaflight and great graphics. It might not be the best sim on Mac, but my reccomendation on a decent pc is Tryp.
TRYP Fpv has implemented the Betaflight PID loop, which make it the one that is the closest to reality. It's currently the best choice overall. Deserve 8/10 at least
The PID loop feature is useless when the world physics aren't very realistic. It's what a real PID loop needs. TRYP flys nothing like real life and the quad noise is awful. Pretty maps, though. One of the most fun, tbf.
I will say I like flying in TRYP, but it does feel like the physics are a bit off, but not bad. I love putting in some time in TRYP. It’s just relaxing and gives a great feel good chill vibe.
@@creativesymon The best map by far for freestyle is LOGIC FPV, second industrial map. If i had a place like that in real life i woundnt need anything else ever...
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.
excuse me?
@@ohhmanitscam your excused.
Wow I did not know that. Does it work with radio controllers?
As someone who has few 10s of hours in: DRL, Uncrashed and Velocidrone. I can safely say that Velocidrone is the best. The most important thing to me is physics.
Yes you correct, this youtuber doesnt know abt fpv
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.
I did my initial learning of acro in DRL (but mostly not with their training). I've spent the most time in Tryp. Lately I've mostly been flying Uncrashed. I really enjoy the racing in Uncrashed.
Awesome video man! Keep it up
Thanks man!
as a person brand new to fpv and has a gaming computer, i bought tryp and love it. idk how well what im learning in game will translate to in real life but playing the game on ultra settings with a stable 120fps just looks beautiful and i am actually getting pretty good. now just waiting on my hdzero goggles to arrive so i can fly IRL
Me and my friend both learned how to fly in Tryp and after 10+ hours in similator we can fly drones in real life with ease. And i still go back to simulator to just have fun when I can’t get out and fly.
It will translate, thats how i started, First AVATA 1 and now i got myself nazgul evoque f5d!
What is best budget added value/price controller only for the sim please?
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...........................
The best thing about fpv free rider is that it runs the best on slow computers. Second is that it is possible to get it for free. Feels good, so it’s what I recommend when people are worried a sim won’t run on their computer
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.
exactly liftoff and DRL are the best
great video, exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!
I happen to own DRL and Lift Off, great programs. Thanks for your efforts and time.
Must I have a drone controller to start playing with these simulators or can I use anything similar such as PS controller for example?
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.
Awesome to hear my friend! DJI controller should work as far as I know ✌️
Gotta loosen the controls by loosening the screw on the back of the DJI controller to make it easier to fly
I've spent most of my sim time in Liftoff: Micro Drones and I enjoy it very much, I just wish it had as much content as what I see in normal Liftoff I also have Tryp: FPV, which I really like, but it makes me want to build a long range quad every time i play..
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.
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....
Thanks for the comprehensive comparison.
HeavyMetal Street League Frame by TurtleModeFPV is on Velocidrone... Just Saying 🤷 lol... 🐧🏁🔥🔥🔥
Velocidrone physics are best than any of them. Should be 10/10.
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
Well Liftoff imho is the best one, since years. Though i gotta try drl some day.
also you've forgot one free drone simulator, the Real Drone Simulator which just got an update including 3D scanned existing places, based on existing drones and parts, has a realistic physics including physics calculator, etc. I highly recommend to check it out.
where can i find it at?
@@jordenbledsoe6598 KZhead doesn't allow URLs in comments. So google the name "real drone simulator" and it's the first result.
I see you have been practicing the NZO 24 track. Are you there this year?
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
Hi Brodie in AI Drone Sim should be a option where you load data of your physical drone and make a virtual copy of it. Did you already test how good that works?
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.
what controllers can i use for these if i plan to use a holystone drone in the future
How do I connect my DJI controller to my pc to utilize the sim. I have FPV SkyDive and my pc recognizes my controller, but cant seem to get any inputs to work, the simulator also does not recognize the controller. I have tried using smart controller and mavic 2 pro controller.
Great vid! My favourite is FPV Logic though
FPV Logic is my fav too... but why didnt it even make the list
Second map is by far the best map in any Sim.
my favorite simulator for the firstime is free rider.. and then liftoff.. how do you think ?
Thank you so much this video has been so helpful to directing my mid-life excursions. 2 questions please: I have never flown. I’m a filmmaker and planing on getting a mini 3pro. I want to train in fpv freestyle Need to get a controller first. Question which simulator do you recommend for realistic as a beginner who has the hours to learn super quick for cinematic fpv by the summer time…? And what controller for DJI-03? My thoughts are drl/liftoff
No worries! I'd go for DRL if you've never flown before ✌️ I'd also recommend looking at something like a Radiomaster Boxer or similar
For a Mini 3 Pro, it's absolutely unneccessary to use a FPV sim. I doesn't make sense. FPV drones and drones like the Mavic, Mini, etc. fly completely different. Flying such a drone is super easy. It does most of the stuff itself. With FPV drones therefore, especially in acro mode for stunts, you have to manage everything all the time on all your own.
@@ones_flow5652thanks… they way I see it now is that with a plan to start with wise business decision to go with mini for quick entry, while training cinewhoop as hobby so I can fully send it later. Kind of like getting a manual drivers license, even though you want to buy an automatic car, because when you travel to other territories hiring a car… options can be either auto or manual… I always believing in getting more skills and developing yourself beyond what you need because opportunity comes in so many varied forms.
thanks Brodie. The more I’m researching the more I’m loving the idea of fpv “finger-muscle-memory “ training regardless of going the easy road of mini pro. Then again there is always the avata
i like trypfpv coz of beautiful maps and chill soundtrack, but game it self very hard for my PC. Liftoff very good one sim. More friendly for computers , with good soundtrack, real drones and cool maps
Uncrashed multiplayer update coming Feb 20th! (and it includes a tutorial) 😎
Fpv freerider menu looks like everyones first unity project
Lmfao 🤣
Well, that may have something to do that it is available on mobile, too
Dude wtf your videos are so good I just discovered your channel!! Your graphics and editing and shooting are so pro
Haha thanks my man 🙏
I have MacBook M1 Max with 64GB of RAM, and TrypFPV works great (the M1/M2 version). I love it. I also have Liftoff, and it's great too.
Nice evaluations. Good job.
Thanks!
Great video bro! Uncrashed is my favorite! 🔥🔥
So good dude 😎
Liftoff is still my favorite as well! Come on you didn't even mention being able to fly Bardwells' yard!
Hahaha this is true ✌️
thx brodie!
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.
Hands down TRYP FPV is the best for freestyle. I’ve tried every sim under the Sun and TRYP has Best physics and graphics alike. Give ‘em some love so they can continue developing more maps! Seriously the best.
Maybe you should not score a performance gaming on macbook...
I bought a DJI FPV Combo and studied ACRO mode in "Real Drone Simulator".It is free and clear.I understood the physics of control and after 3 months I tried a high-speed flight on DJI FPV. It turned out to be much easier in reality. So it doesn't matter which simulator is free or expensive, you can understand the physics of flight in any case, but in reality you can already hone your motherhood.
Any android sim that i can connect dji googles and controller?
been using TRYP for the last few months on my M1 macbook AIR with very few issues. not sure if you have the macbook pro or air but my air runs perfect with a fan under the macbook. it drains the battery quickly so i can prob get about 2 hrs of flight time on my mac airs battery unplugged which is pretty impressive after having it since jan of 2021. Tried using the DJI sim and its horrible.. controls are garbage and it still sucks DJI still has NO stick mode 4 or custom stick configs.
Nice video, would be really really really really really helpful to have a written list (with links), the accent makes the names hard to hear and the logos instead of text actually writing the name onscreen is also confusing.
Uncrashes released a multiplayer update! Cool stuff. Makes 9 out of 10 😎
I had a pretty good experience with tryp fpv. I can play it with almost no stutters on my m1 14”
Found it for under $CAD280 and that makes it definitely with it. I'll never see the hero 11 at that pricepoint
Is it possible to use the DJI controller with screen for these?
I’m thrilled that you made this video and cannot thank you enough. Having said that, I can’t help but to feel that judging games harshly for running poorly on a MacBook is sorta like judging a couch for not being well suited to sitting at your dinner table. 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.
i like how the velocidrone map in the video was the NZO 2024 map was a mean as event
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.
where do you buy it and what is the brand?
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.
hello i want to start in pfv , but ill first start with the sims , could anyone recommend a controller ? thank you
actually the dji flight simulator can be used not only with the dji Controller, but also with touchscreen and also my xbox controller works flawlessly. so please if you have a controller, it'l propably work with dji Flight-simulator just fine.
Thanks for the upload Brodie. I admit that I came away from this less certain! I'm newbie looking to get into FPV. I don't have a drone, nor controller, nor goggles. My gut tells me to stick to a simulator that's as close to reality as possible in terms of flight physics which tells me to go with Velocidrone. But I feel like you pushed me away toward videogame-esque feature sets. For someone who only cares about punching in a few dozen hours before real life, is Velocidrone the way to go? Thanks
As a newbie I’d push towards DRL more, especially if you haven’t learnt yet 🙂 Velocidrone will be good for later down the track, not a great place to start IMO
@@BrodieReed thanks a lot man! Love your channel btw. Hi from Canada. ☺️
DRL doesn’t have “actual” rates and different types of rates that some pilots use so I find it useless, honestly as a pilot who flies irl and in the sim I found this list frustrating and not helpful and actually misleading for newbies. Just my 2 cents. I think the main ones like liftoff, uncrashed, tryp and velocidrone are the good ones but that’s just me.
Which one works with DJI RC-N1 remote?
Though I like the review and rating of the sims, I think it's quite unfair to take off lot of points for graphics since your not testing on a capable machine.. DRL for example looks very good on a mid priced PC.
Great video!
Nice review, though worth noting, to any seasoned FPV pilot, Tryp -- with its latest update is one of the the better sims that allows you to learn about the hardware technology (pid loops, configuring firmware, etc). At the end of the day, beginner's can learn in Liftoff, once you know how, have fun in Tryp, and then when you want to push yourself to be the best, turn to Velocidrone.
yay, I have a couple of the tops ones; didn't hear.... did you dive into multiplayer aspect being able to have other people (around the world) join in at the same time to play for any of these, like Liftoff?
Velocidrone has the best multiplayer
@@notsure1502 this is fact.
I have a couple drones I use the DJI app for practice
Liftof has player made maps, so theres unlimited maps Velocidrone combat mode is awsome
I use veloidrone, liftoff, uncrashed and fpv logic
You forget Zero-G-Racer, Rotor, EreaDrone and FPV Logic. p.s. And perhaps "Death from above" and "FPV Kamikaze Drone"
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! 🔥
….also I agree with your best overall choice. I absolutely love Liftoff 🤩
….also I agree with your best overall choice. I absolutely love Liftoff 🤩
The updated version of Freerider is the ultimate FPV sim for your smartphone.
Liftoff is the winner! I will buy it (and DRL too)
Good stuff 😎
For me drl because I feel like liftoff feels more floaty. But the both are close and real good.
It’s good to have at least two if you can afford it. I think liftoff is the best all around and especially for your first sim, as it’s so easy to use and understand. I really wish we could adjust physics and PIDs and stuff in the way that we can in Tryp. I think the best second one to have is velocidrone for physics alone, but it is like Windows 95 in its operation and can be hard to understand.
@matrodmedia Yes I agree but I have to do it on playstation so it's has it's limitations for sims. Got all of them but hope for tryp to come to playstation 😅
I bought the new Avata 2 + the new RC3 and tried it in Liftoff. This is my first FPV experience, but the RC3 is just crazy sensitive. I am not able to fly 1 meter without crashing the drone. I tried to calibrate, but it doesn`t help. Maybe the new RC3 is not really supported?
I have the RC2 and my initial experience was the same. Just keep doing it, go through the course from JB, and you'll be alright 👍
Love ❤ new sub
I use TRYP maxed out on my pic and it’s insane. Super great graphics.
Wait, why does the thumbnail have sugoi ranking table but you didn’t use it in the video😂 anyway, cool ranking. Thanks for going through the trouble! I’d have given velocidrone a 9/10 solely because of its physics. I love uncrashed and play it all the time, but it’s floaty af; as well as liftoff or any other sim. The only non floaty sim is velocidrone. It needs to be acknowledged for that imo
RIGHT 😊i thought the same thing... Brodie receives a click bait rating of: "S"
Lmfao 😂 S Tier
if I buy only the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3, can I play at the Dji Simiulator with my windows computer?
I have the Remote Controller 2 and it works with every game from the list just fine, the answer is most likely yes.
is there uncrashed fpv sim for ipadpro m1?
Honestly the only thing that counts in a SIM is physics. Velocidrone is the SIMULATOR, the other ones are games. If you want to learn fpv, no matter if you are going for cinematic \ freestyle or racing, there is only one sim where you can learn and have almost no difference with real life (a part the obvious differences)... and that's Velocidrone. Congratz for the video man, is a very deep and good comparison. Altho the last two categories are pretty personal. If you want a videogame, i agree that Uncrashed or LiftOff could make your day, but if you already fly FPV or you want to learn, you'll get bored on those pretty soon.
Totally agree 💯
Awesome!
Liftoff Micro Drones - the best, однозначно! :)
In the notes it would be nice if you gave a list of the games to allow people to search for them easier
We need more sims integrating the system where you can buy frames, motors etc with the in-game money (basically economics)
People keep saying Uncrashed and Tryp is best feel. I reckon they feel utter rubbish and liftoff feels identical to my builds
Tryp fpv runs 400 fps maxed out graphics on my pc and looks amazing.
You missed platforms compatibility? Windows, Android, PlayStation, Macbook?
Currently the best simulator is Tryp followed by DCL. Never try to fly Tryp on your MacBook. Uncrached and DRL are not simulators at all, because you cannot configure the drone in them. Velocidrone is good, but poor graphics and small hardcore maps for professional pilots.
