DRL Simulator | THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD IN AN FPV SIMULATOR

33 Comments

1. CLARIFICATION. All drone simulators compare simulated flight to real flight using various methods, including test bench measurements and wind tunnel tests. DRL is the first simulator to take a drone into a motion-capture studio and compare 3D drone flight to simulated outputs.

   Velocidrone is, without question, the preferred simulator of top MultiGP-style pilots. I don't mean to suggest that it's not a good simulator, or not worth checking out. I plan to review Velocidrone next, and hopefully when I dig further into it, I can figure out why I have had a bad experience with it in the past.

2. Your intro is damn near a threat in the South lol. "You gonna learn today" is what you say when you are about to whoop some ass here in Georgia.

3. Steam…hmmm, no thanks.

4. One question on the physics: In both Velocidrone and even moreso in Liftoff my main gripe is that it feels like you flying in 0.7G, that is, the quad doesn’t fall nearly fast enough. When I’ve been playing a lot of Liftoff and then go to fly IRL I always have some really close calls and can’t nearly pull off the same tricks before I’m on the ground in a violent manner. How is DRL specifically in this aspect? Is it the same “slomo diving”?

5. Thank you for this video. DRL really helped me to learn to fly fpv.

6. According to their system requirements DRL requires Windows 8 x64 or higher, which junks it for me. No way I'm installing anything beyond Windows 7 x64 – I just don't want that fucked up tile mess or split personality start button. No Linux support either, which is bizarre.

7. Lift-Off was absolutely useless I could never get it to work it was a waste of my money and they won't give it back.
   None of my sim controller or flight controllers would work with it.

8. What is this video? I was expecting a Daytime Running Light Simulator. I've been click baited

9. Thank you from video. I downloaded drl simulator yesterday. It is the best simulator. Now more practise and then is my maiden flight with Xhover Stingy V2.

10. And I just got Liftoff the other day before I saw this video REFUND!!

11. I am considering getting into fpv. But before buying myself a tiny whoop which sim do u think I should buy(velocidrone vs drone racing league). Which one is more realistic?

12. It's official. I finally got my radio and I committed to Steam and actually purchasing DRL, my first game of any kind I've paid for in a LOOOOOONG time! Damn it, JB! Making me be all legit on the computer software thing for a change. Now I just need Bardwell's yard to train and practice in! LOL

13. Someday Would be nice to have a long range sim that allows u to choose a radio and rx and push the limits of the two seeing what it takes to failsafe (BEST real world calculations possible) aswell as different products and what to expect as a consumer… so u can push your gear PAST its limits in virtual environments… or try new gear and "feel"/see the difference spending that money would make… would apply to video units aswell and be a great tool and game… one can dream. I love liftoff but the ability to pnp otg makes freerider dope, just due to android compatibility imo…

14. I use Liftoff. It works for me.

15. You've got me sold on my 1st Steam purchase. DAMN YOU, JOSHUA!!! Now to choose between this or Liftoff. You seem to lean toward this and all the technical research that went into it, it's got to be pretty damn good. I'll be sure to find the trainer quite useful. I'm brand new to the racing and freestyle side of this drone world. I guess my first purchase will be a better radio so I develop better habits with what I'll actually be using instead of just getting by with something and then possibly having to learn again with a different radio. I'm also not going to crash a radio, or goggles for that matter.

16. liftoff vs drl whats better?

17. Great video JB yea they are kickin' like chicken! How do I bring up the HUD in the DRL sim specifically the crosshair and horizon bar? I actually use those. thanks!

18. Just wish it didn’t run at 20 frames with 69 second tx latency

19. Grabbed it. Need to decide now between Taranis or Jumper now

20. I would love to see in the future one of those sims on consoles.. ps4 xbox etc…
    Don't know why DRL haven't done this yet?

21. You mentioned getting the rates right will help, anyone else having a heck of a time getting their rates right?

22. Wai wait wait, where can I watch the event you just showed in the video where the guys are competing like in eSports????

23. I only have liftoff and I am a beginner pilot. The training mode is overwhelming. The quads are insanely responsive compared to the little micro drones I've mostly flown in real life. It sounds nice that DRL Sim cuts out some of the other controls when focusing on teaching one element.

24. What aboud the fpv mod for GTA 5??

25. Oh maybe I should go check it out….. Oh just remembered I can't since they took it out of early access after using the community to test their shit game and then hiked the price up and denied access to the people that helped beta test their steaming pile of garbage.

26. last time I played DRL it felt like flying a brick on the moon. maybe ill give it another shot, because I liked everything else about it

27. So are you going to do lessons on this sim like you did on FreeRider ?

28. JB

29. I’m so glad they updated the physics I could never fly the sim right before the update. i got to see the version 1 when the game was still free. It’s so great to race the current version.

30. Cool, I'll jump back into the DRL simulator. Also, that chair makes you look like you have an epic mullet.

31. DRL has no Linux support whereas Liftoff does.

32. I have used this Sim for half a year now! They did An awsome update for the fysics, this is wierd btw, i types this when you Said it haha, i have almost 80 hours in this game?

33. No one sim is king, they all have strengths and weaknesses. That's why i use most of them.
