The Drone Racing League Simulator

the case managers were knoedgable

I'm a new at flying real physical FPV drone pilot. This game saved me a lot of money ;-) , by teaching me to fly thus keeping from crashing.

great learning program

Sooooooo goooood, no you don't understand (well maybe It's my obsession with drones), it runs on my horrible work laptop at solid frames, for what you pay it's worth it, it has a very good training programme and has allowed me to fly full acro. Definitely recommend.

To learn how to fly a drone and become a trained pilot, this is the best software. it has some minor bugs like the guideline sometimes is not there. Some of the training modules are annoying, but overall is the best since it has a structured training, very effective for skill building. Some hard work is required too.

good teaching

Perfect way to get into training how to fly a quad with a radio. Nice pacing and plenty to do.

Great simulator for beginners!

very bad

After spending Close to 40 hours in the game/ Flight time I can confidently say DRL Racing Sim is one of the best FPV drone simulators out there.

✅ What Makes It Great:

- Realistic Physics – The game nails aerodynamics, momentum, and gravity. If you’re coming from real-world FPV, you’ll appreciate how natural it feels.

- Prop Wash Simulation – Unlike some other sims, DRL takes prop wash into account, so sloppy throttle control will punish you—just like in real life.

- Customizable PIDs & Rates – If you like tweaking Betaflight settings, you’ll love the depth of tuning available.

- Realistic Environments & Tracks – The maps are actual DRL race courses, meaning you can practice on real-world tracks.

- Battery Drain & Voltage Sag – Just like in real FPV, you’ll feel the power drop as your battery drains.

❌ What Could Be Better:

- Invitation spam is relentless, even after hitting 90min snooze.
- Bugs like phasing under the map or through objects happen occasionally.
- Global chat doesn’t work properly (or at all), making online play feel dead at times.
- There's a Lack of Updates: The most recent significant update was version 4.1, released on May 18, 2023

i have really improved using fpv drones and i have had enough confidence to fly a real one it is such a good simulator and you can even race competitively i really do recommend

A great way to learn the basics of flying fpv before getting a real drone.

Great training camp for noobs like me.

Absolutelt love. Great fro beginners as well

Just beginning FPV but this is a great way to start! Be sure to have a receiver to control it with.

Buggy game. The completion stars is not accurate, I can go as fast as I can but still not achieve 5 stars. Got up to the last training mission for intermediate/pro and it's literally impossible to fly any faster and beat top dog Tony. Really frustrating and created by people that clearly don't know how to make a game & update it to fix it's issues.

The game is good for putting in flight hours to maximize your drone skills

I like their progression system. If you are a beginner pilot get this and work tutorials before Liftoff, TRYP or Uncrashed. Those I just found to be depressing.

I'm a big FPV fan and saw videos of people doing cool moves. Within 6 hours, I was doing all these cool moves myself. The USAF Workbench is an awesome way to customize drones that aren't available in other sims. Highly recommended. One thing though, the trainer is not the most useful thing—just fly around in freestyle mode, that's what I did.

Rank amateur here and really needed the tutorial. This is the best I have found.

I have never flown a drone of any kind outside my kids toys. I am learning quickly with tutorials and freeplay.

Good for developing that muscle memory for FPV flying.

Good for training

One of the two most effective flight simulators for FPV Drones to practice flight techniques. If you need a game - then you can choose anything. If you need a simulator - there is no choice.

Один з двох найефективніших симуляторів польотів для FPV Drones для відпрацювання техніки польоту. Якщо потрібна гра - то можна вибрати що завгодно. Якщо потрібен тренажер - вибору немає.

its very hard my brain is fried im getting better slowly

i have only tried a few other sims, however this sim is great for learning
the swich into acro(intermedite) is realy confusing as there is no explanation, but it has realy helped me learn how to fly

its a grate game it made ma a beter pilot and now i can fly fpv well i recomend this for anyone that wants to lern how to fly like me

Runs pretty well, lots of tracks. Using this to practice for the fpv drone i don't have yet.

It's crazy

great for fpv very good physics and minimal to no lag

It doesn't load and when it does it takes over an hour. I can run other games that are much bigger like r6 but i can't run this.

Complete Newb -literally bought a ready to fly nano-drone kit (basically for the controller and real flight experience) and the DRL Sim. I have been using the sim for around 22 hours and have successfully taken the skills learned in the sim to real flight on intermediate mode. I am progressing only through the onboarding process so far, and havent used any game features...yet!

if you want to get into fpv, use this PLEASE! It is amazing!

Love this game. Tried Liftoff and almost gave up on FPV, but really glad I decided to try DRL. For the price, it's a steal.

i think everyone is different i started on lift off but down prefer DRL ive built 3 5 inch drones im no pro but i find this close enough to get the practice i need ive flown fpv but vtx fried after 6 6s packs now flying in line of sight need fpv but really like this game bring me to the big races im getting better only been 3 months im coming fpvportboy82

I wish this simulator run on Ubuntu like distros

Cheap version of learning to fly drones

This is the best FPV drone simulator for beginners. It has a very in-depth tutorial on how to fly and it has 29 maps you can select.

great tool to learn how to fly drones and practice new tricks

Best training mode Sim I have found for getting good at manual mode flying. Takes you step by step. Made it easy when I finally flew my drone full manual mode.

nice sim. Great for learning how to fly. Love the search and destroy missions

Great for learning FPV!

Extremely frustrating when basic configuration options don't work, trying to save channel mappings simply does not work, so you map it to the RESET, then try to use it and it restarts, extremely frustrating, do not buy until they fix they bugs!

you have a large store of drones to pick fantastic

Not bad. Gravity is like flying on the moon, but it’s fun. I feel like liftoff is more sim quality. This is tilted a bit more to the gaming side so far. I still have settings to play with though.

The DRL FPV simulator takes you from the basics (i.e. zero experience) and builds up your skills to challenging race tracks all within your own pace. The graphics is good and there are variety of environments to keep you engaged for many hours and days.

gud game

A solid drone simulator, good for beginners because it has a quick reset button. Needs a flight controller to play, xbox/ps controllers won't work.

Minor complaints:
- the physics are a little "floaty"
- the collision detection lets you pop through the ground in a few levels
- the flight controller doesn't access menus, you have to use a keyboard for that
- the levels don't tell you what size drone is recommended, you have to experiment and find out

Overall, a solid drone sim

hard

this game is suitable for people who wanted to learn to fly an fpv drone.
