This simulator is free on Steam and allows you to control it via keyboard, gamepad, or any controller of your choice. The ORQA FPV Skydive is a plug-and-play FPV simulator that allows you to fly in scenarios like stadiums, racecourses, valleys, construction sites, and the ORQA polygon. If you’re not ready to purchase quite yet, they offer a free way to get started with FPV flying through their simulator, the ORQA FPV Skydive. ORQA FPV is known for building some of the best FPV analog goggles, the ORQA FPV.One. You can use these controllers on real drones too, which will come in handy when you decide to buy one. I also love how you can control the drone with an Xbox or PlayStation controller, but if you want to get the real experience of flying a drone, you should get a controller like the Taranis, Turnigy, or Spektrum models. You can train, fly freestyle, complete challenges, or even compete with other pilots in multiplayer mode.ĭid I mention their graphics look quite real too? Compared to the graphics you will find in other simulators, I believe paying the $10 is worth it to fly in the scenarios provided in the DRL Simulator. Once you complete the training, it’s time to try the “real flight.” What I love about the DRL drone simulator is the wide range of scenarios in which you can fly your drone from stadiums, Air Force bone yards, campgrounds, and New York gates to container deports. The DRL Simulator uses a custom-made drone, unlike any drone you may have seen from popular drone manufacturers, but the physics are similar to an actual drone. Before you can start flying freestyle or through race tracks, you can go through the training where you are trained on basic drone movements and how to combine all these movements to go through loops or pop balloons placed along a track. I love the DRL simulator for the comprehensive training it offers. I purchased this simulator in June 2022 and only paid $2.99 for it.

I know this is a post about free drone simulators, but I had to include DRL since it costs less than $10 to get it on your PC. If you get good at the simulator, you get to try out for the actual racing league within the simulator!

This one’s my favorite and one that I play all the time.Īs its name suggests, the DRL simulator is made by the same people behind the Drone Racing League, one of the largest professional drone racing leagues.
