FlowState
FlowState is an open source FPV drone racing simulator. It's goal is to simulate what it's like to race FPV drones. It has been developed, and tested by multiple world class pilots, and accurately simulates drag, thrust, prop wash, RF interference and other aspects of flying racing drones. It also includes a track builder and has multiplayer capabilities as well. Players control the drones using either a traditional game controller, or their existing RC radio if they already fly in real life.
Simulator Philosophy This simulator is a true FPV Drone Racing simulator.
The goal is to make it look and feel as similar to a standard racing drone as possible. As such, the goal is not to make the most HD/GoPro-esque visuals. Instead the focus is on simulating what pilots see through the goggles, static and all! This sim is also open source! So if you would like to contribute find us on github. Here are some of the founding principles players' and contributors' consideration. - Flight feel is #1 priority - This means lowest (realistic) possible input latency - Use as a practice tool - Lap times should be similar for most pilots/setups/tracks - Editable maps with commonly used track elements - Realistic video static/interference like what you'd see in an actual FPV race - Competitive - The sim does not provide significant advantages to those with high end gaming rigs - The "sim quads" could be flown "against" real quads, and yield a fair competition - Field friendly (works on recent lower end laptops) - Usable with or without internet connection
