I've been flying the Quadcopter mod by LeFix on GTA V and I've honestly got to say, it tops all the other sims in terms of environments. You can do all your usual pids, there just isnt any selection of drones, but you can modify things like weight etc even gravity. Seriously, check it out for some fun freestlye. Thanks for all the great content!

@kobrapromotions 6 лет назад

where else can you powerloop a helicopter or bomb a military base on high alert? :P

@Macca17YNWA 6 лет назад

Congrats on going full time with this, it shows already. The flow through your vids is superb, keep doing what your doing mate.

@Pyro17059 6 лет назад

I used this sim the past month and a half or so. Finally got my chameleon all done and went straight to the field and flew fpv in acro. The sim is DEFINITELY floaty compared to the real thing. Even with that said, the sim is priceless. I know it saved me from crashing a million times! I've never caught myself leaning and tilting my head to a game/sim before this haha. Once I got the hang of making It go the direction I wanted it to, The leaning and head tilting stopped 😛Only flew 2 packs so far but felt pretty comfortable doing so. Worth every penny. With or without a key!

@MisterMannIndy 6 лет назад

Thanks for the recommendation, Stewart! I have used RC simulators in the past when learning to fly planes and heli's, so I recognize the benefit of these types of products. Purchased and look forward to getting the hang of things a bit before hitting the field. Your contributions to this hobby are very much appreciated!!

@allennickles3970 6 лет назад

I been waiting for someone to do a good review on this sim...many thanks for taking time to do this...Awesome Mate!

@havoc010101 5 лет назад

Great video, I just downloaded this simulator and I think it's a great tool to help new pilots get into the hobby. It does take a some getting used to at first, but once you get over the initial learning curve it is a great way to practice. Keep the content coming!

@danlatu209 6 лет назад

I recently got a new pilot into fpv and he downloaded this sim. I have never used this sim and checked it out. OMG! This is the greatest. Multigp tracks downloadable, awesome! I changed the settings to get rid of the floaty feel and he is now ripping! I got him to fly my race quad with the goggles and I was impressed at how well he did. I am now using this sim for days I can't get out. Thanks UAVfutures for this video.

@The-Real-Xzargon 6 лет назад

Velocidrone is very good, however I do prefer lift off. Flying in sims made my transition to the open sky’s so much easier would recommend them to all new pilots!

@Mcdonaldt001 6 лет назад

I’m very happy with it. Runs very smooth and when the weathers crummy it’s a great go to for getting in some stick time. I’ll take a crack at your lap time when we get moved and settled in the next few days

@techdocd9074 6 лет назад

Awesome video! I’m just getting started and was looking into sims for practice!

@glenn5383 6 лет назад

I stumbled across this channel researching drones and now I'm hooked I want one so bad this channel is amazing! I'm going to get the xs809hw to learn with then I'm going to to the under 300 deal... but for goggles I'm going to get the eachine goggles instead of the box goggles. Tons of help on this channel. Can't believe it's this easy and budget friendly to do.

@bmbroadcasting 6 лет назад

Picked up a copy of Velocidrone a few weeks ago to practice on as I build my first quad. If any other beginners out there want to exchange tips or comiserate, let me know! Always good to have a support group. I've been following the FPV Academy beginner drills so far. The Empty Scene Day in the "Official Track: Ireland - IDN 2016" seems to be laid out decently for the first 3 lessons.

@ElektrykFPV 6 лет назад

I fly Velocidrone every day. I bought it about 5 months into my FPV experience, and kicked myself for not getting a sim sooner. I've flown two other Sim's and this is hands down the best! I'm currently 22nd on the leaderboard for the SFPV VRL 4 track you flew 😁. Awesome review!

@Pile_of_carbon 6 лет назад

A few hours in Freerider and Liftoff improved my flying massively.

@deadmoo83 6 лет назад

Liftoff is my favorite.

@peregrineflow7354 4 года назад

Thanks for your input! I will look for those. I cannot get a license for Velocidrone and am disappointed that they have NO support. $40 out the window and not even one response after weeks. Velocidrone SUCKS.

@MookMan 6 лет назад

The physics engine in Velocidrone is quite processor intensive, if the game runs below around 100fps the floatiness starts to be a problem. F12 will give you a fps count and some info while in game to check. I run it windowed on a decent PC for best feel. Great sim, great developers, great updates. Best sim out there. My time: 40.792

@joliver1981 6 лет назад

Mook Man can you post a video of your lap?

@thomastommy9864 5 лет назад

I got a Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz with a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB @ 1920x1200, with all settings as high as they can go. And this game runs like a dream. No "floatiness" at all, just perfect air-time. I just tried this level and pressed F12 and I average around 138 or so FPS, but seems to peak around 180 with a minimum once of 89.After playing the trial for a few days I ended up buying this. Even though I've tried the others except Liftoff. This seems to be close to the responsiveness of my Wizard x220 w/4S. I think games should be properly reviewed against other hardware. Now this video will live on the internet for many years to come even though THIS experience is not typical with proper hardware.

@weeral1 5 лет назад

Do the high FPS matter when your monitor can only do 60?

@peregrineflow7354 4 года назад

WRONG! Far far from great developers friend. Great developers support their customers.

@trickyricky98 4 года назад

@Xenn0X 6 лет назад

Nice! never heared of this sim. always used liftoff. thanks for the tip!

@spokaneman8750 4 года назад

As a new pilot, 4-5 hours on Velocidrone kept me from wanting to chuck my Tinyhawk 2 RTF in the dustbin! I was able to use the Tinyhawk as a dongle, connected through Betaflight. Bonus, working from home during quarantine affords several “flying breaks” on the sim between clients! Thank you for your vids. They make breaking into this complicated and amazing sport possible for noobs like me.

@GGWAG-45 6 лет назад

This is a sweet simulator. Thanks. It'll be great to use when its cold an I can't go out flying.

@user-st9jd3nb7m 6 лет назад

Great Review, still debating between Velocidrone, FreeRider and Liftoff. Since FR works with my PS4 controller, been practicing on it. Waiting my Turnigy Evo to arrive, then I will check out the Velocidrone demo. Thanks again Stew, great videos.

@davieboy333 6 лет назад

im a noob and Velocidrone was my choice in sims. you picked my favourite track too :) i think im at 64 seconds as my fastest time so far, but having seen you im well chuffed with that after only a cpl of months in this hobby... your channel got me into this and after watching reviews i stumped up for a wizard 220s. this sim has definitely saved me money on crashing :)))) i actually held out for a month before flying so i could get my taranus and fly on the sim first:) the only time i use self levelling on my real quad is for take off and landing and have been like that from day 1. i doubt i could have done that without this sim.

@davieboy333 6 лет назад

also Velocidrone have their own youtube vlog channel and i learned loads about the sim, tracks, tricks and settings there. they are worth a watch for sure

@joesph783 6 лет назад

I like that you can change the pids as well

@schlonald 6 лет назад

Stew, mate I love your channel. Thanks for getting me into this hobby with your $99 build video. Keep inspiring us.

@ybliga 6 лет назад

I'm about to build my first ever quad - A Tokio X. I flew RC planes back in the early 80s and hold a PPL but thought it would make sense to learn quads on a sim first - Installed Velocidrone before seeing this post and I'm glad I did . . . . . I'm not sure if I will ever master this contraption!!! :-(

@AllenBrooks 6 лет назад

Best on the market...I no people like rotor rush, drl etc...but this is by far the best! Great review...

@jaykay2349 6 лет назад

Sims are awesome, I played alot of LiftOff before my first flight and it helped a bunch. Only flown a handful of times but already done some flips, rolls and power loops. I wouldn't have been able to do it without practice on a sim.

@pemtax557 6 лет назад

Hi Stew ... I've had great luck with Liftoff in the Steam game system. You have full customization, it's affordable, and the support is outstanding. Most of all, it is by far the most realistic sim I've ever used and I've tried them all. Do give them a look ... Thanks again for all you do, Cheers, dave

@joeduran627 6 лет назад

Stu ur awesome bro,love ur work. I bought this the other day, having trouble tuning it to feel more realistic. Any tips or possibly a quick vid on ur tunes?

@frankjozsef2918 6 лет назад

@RICKHALBUR 6 лет назад

Looks like a winner to me hope to try it out thanks for the great channel

@Guilefpv 6 лет назад

Can you build the official UAV Futures track as close to real life with yr current real life track laps and upload it? Then we can try and challenge yr time and maybe organise a race and show on yr channel.

@dogstar7 6 лет назад

@Lehanvander 6 лет назад

Liftoff is my personal fav. It feels really real and they're multiplayer is awsome. You can even build your own drone!

@paulhughes8490 6 лет назад

Hi Stu, can the share the mods you made to make it a little more realistic, was it just mod to the drag?

@psychwardfpv4353 6 лет назад

I use Liftoff. It feels the most realistic to me. Actually was able to learn setting rates that I eventually took to my quad and I have both flying almost identical. Helps alot. Just learned the "juicy flip" from Bardwell Vid using Sim. I highly recommend getting a Sim that feels real to practice maneuvers on before you trash a quad in the field.

@lambo79 6 лет назад

nice vid! the connectivity between the Qx7 and the PC, just plug-in a micro-usb directly to the Qx7 to the PC?

@seanjsimpson 5 лет назад

I need help finding a transmitter to use with the simulator...or which one do you use.

@evanthevan 6 лет назад

Nice! Glad you got a setup that runs sims. I've pretty much tried them all and liftoff feels like it has the best physics to me. Also, for those looking for a more gamey sim, the GTA quadcopter mod is incredible. There's just so much to do and it looks really really good visually!

@syzygyfpv5135 6 лет назад

I have both Velocidrone and GTA flights on my channel. It's fun to rip around with GTA but Velocidrone flies way better.

@evanthevan 6 лет назад

Syzygy FPV I think I actually disagree! Velocidrone is way too floaty for me even with drag and weight adjustments. In the GTA mod you can adjust 'gravity' which helps a lot. However if I'm going for realistic flight characteristics, I'll go with liftoff hands down!

@kain0m 6 лет назад

Can confirm, Velocidrone helped me build my msucle memory before going for my first FPV flights. It's a steep learning curve if you flew fixed wings before, so having your first 100 crashes in a sim speeds up the process imensely. Also, in theory you can use a joystick for velocidrone, but don't do it. Learn to fly YOUR radio.

@BBooka 6 лет назад

Hello. What transmitter you recommend to use with this simulator? Or basically with simulators? I have also Lifoff. But at both is almost impossible to fly with gamepad. Gates are too small for gamepad. :( Yea I don't have racing drone yet. I just wish to train in simulator before to go on real drone. Also don't want to spent too much. Is FlySky FS-i6 good choice? Or is there anything good for lower price? Why Taranis is so better then other transmitters? Thank you. (Y)

@JustinRayHadley 6 лет назад

I have been flying acro since 11-19-17. This simulator has improved my capabilities of acro flight drastically. I recommend everyone use a simulator that is interested in flying fpv.

@aloak 6 лет назад

Looks good!

@HuntAndFishExchange 6 лет назад

I flew 100% first on Liftoff in Acro only for bout 25hrs and transitioned to my 5" quad without any issues I found Velocidrone to be "floaty" as well. I think Liftoff is feels for realistic when it come to that. But I do like all of the locations you get with Velocidrone. I own both.

@larson175 5 лет назад

What did you used to connect the taranis to the pc please ?

@aaronziemann715 6 лет назад

Stu, thanks for making the UAVFutures track in Velocidron! It's a lot of fun. I'm curious what your own times are IRL vs in Velocidrone. Assuming the virtual track is the same scale/gate distances, your times should be pretty close toghether, right?

@ilijazugaj4968 6 лет назад

I tired the trial version. Seems really cool but man I suck!!! Glad I am trying this before I get my first quad. Awesome vids Stew!!

@thewarprider9814 6 лет назад

I'm using Lift Off because the demo for Velocidrone didn't inspire a confident purchase. I've gotten a bit of experience with a micro, but I just bought an Eachine Wizard X220 (based on your experience and recommendation) and I wanted to get comfortable with acro controls before I go out and crater my new quad. I've been getting a lot of stick time with the sim, and I'm feeling pretty confident.

@fpvbuilds2023 5 лет назад

Hey can I use a turnigy transmitter with the velocidrone sym ?

@KPV_UK 6 лет назад

Hi Stew, In my opinion Velocidrone feels VERY close to the real thing, it just requires a little bit of setting up to get the most out of it (The Facebook group is great for help with this), to get you started try setting the camera FOV to 110-120, max FPS to 999 and turn Vsync off, this should enable you to run a much quicker frame rate than stock and that will help massively with the feel. For people on lower spec machines it's also possible to reduce the quality, resolution and draw distance. Pressing F12 while in-game will show the FPS monitor, if you can get >200 FPS it should feel fantastic. Also there is a weekly online tournament called the Velocidrone Racing League aka VRL that is well worth checking out, there are some top pilots competing such as SFPV and Nytfury and it's a great introduction to real life racing. I've got a bunch of Velocidrone vids up on my RU-vid if anyone wants to see what if flies like once set up correctly. Happy sim flying :)

@syzygyfpv5135 6 лет назад

I'd believe what he says. He flies good.

@Wind1000100 6 лет назад

I fly 130 FOV, even 115 is too small. 80 in this video just doesn't give an idea about the sim in my opinion, so hopefully Stew can try it with proper settings in the future! :)

@Holodragon870 6 лет назад

@uavfutures What do you suggest for an affordable first transmitter that could be used with a sim?

@joesph783 6 лет назад

flysky fs-i6s awesome transmitter and it has micro usb and connect to any sim no drivers required

@dave0sparky0matkin 3 года назад

This may seem like a silly question Stu. But what do you use to put your quads up on the wall? Thanks for all the great videos.

@fahe2 6 лет назад

I have a Spektrum DX 6. Can I use this radio for the simulator? When no wich one should I buy, only for flying on my PC?

@allengerhard9513 6 лет назад

Gday stew. Can i connect my Flysky controller to it? And do i need a really good computer or laptop to get it?

@freddiejaques7611 6 лет назад

I'd love to try this Sims! I use liftoff and that for me is an amazing sim! I would recommend it to anyome

@sxdev 6 лет назад

Started 2 years ago with when Liftoff came out, it´s still the best sim for me and helped me massivly, I don´t even want to think about all the money and time I would have lost without. With the updates last year and the help of some serious vips like chad nowak and boris from BF they improved so much. velocidrone never worked for me, plus I can´t bear with the graphics and sound. If you´re new and looking for a sim check out the alternatives like freerider, liftoff, DRL everyone has different taste I´m sure there is a sim which suits you and will help you improve a lot.

@rollonb2947 6 лет назад

Time to binge watch 👍😁🍻 💪🃏

@wyattfreeland8868 6 лет назад

Refreshing for those keys! When are you putting the cards in?

@lonnyharris6464 4 года назад

In Velocidrone, can the pilot choose between the 3 different flight modes, or is expert mode the only option?

@Nilloc777 6 лет назад

I all ready have lift of but my evolution does not work even though it says it should many I should try and get this code?

@nelsonguzman3156 6 лет назад

From NYC. i think the time difference allows fans from a different time zone to benefit from the keys. they are all used.

@UnlimitedVertical 6 лет назад

I started with Freerider...it didn't keep me interested (at first), went to DRL, flew it a lot, then back to Freerider because it was more like my real-life quad, then to liftoff...loved it and now have used Velocidrone for a few days (using Mr Steele's setup). I don't regret buying any of them. The more these improve and feed off of each other the better they'll all be in the long run. BTW: The best simulator isnt necessarily the one with the best physics or best environments, it is the one that keeps you interested so that you accumulate stick time. With 5 months of winter I like to switch back and forth a bit to keep it interesting. It always takes me my first battery (after spending time on the sim) to get the sim physics out of my head and get used to my real quads physics, but it is worth it for the overall improvement in skills.

@GibitStylin 6 лет назад

Ive tried the demo for RotorRush, and purchased and used DRL Sim a lot as well. I can definitely say starting off with a sim really helped me as a n00b flier. I guess ill give the velocidrone demo a try as well. For kicks, where can i find those UAVFutures fling tutorial vidoes??

@MrJdnixon26 6 лет назад

I started with this sim and it feels better if you change the advanced quad settings on the level and change the weight of your quad to make it heavier

@kevintatum4903 6 лет назад

Great sim! I could use this kind of practice. It gets expensive crashing the real equipment

@420menace210 5 лет назад

Where do you get that qx7 😍 that black and purple is awesome

@agoogleuser7784 6 лет назад

I spent two months on a sim before flying my first race quad. Started flying the real thing immediately in acro mode without any issues. Never used self level in my life thanks to the sims. Still haven’t had a terrible crash that destroys my quad.

@johncitizen3361 6 лет назад

VelociDrone is my favourite sim, I've used it to learn tricks like inverted yaw spins etc. because it gives you the muscle memory you need. I plug my aomway commanders in and fly with goggles for a more realistic FPV experience, it's not perfect but I've pulled off tricks in the real world on my first try after learning them on the sim so it helps a lot. As far as "floaty physics" go you get the best experience by having a faster frame rate, you can get that by choosing a lower video quality, flying in a smaller world like the football stadium which is less taxing on your computer so it can easily get 350fps (I think you press f12 if you want to see your fps). You really need to be getting at least 200 fps and while the coastal map is fun it isn't as realistic as the football stadium and the car park.

@grixessedraxis7267 6 лет назад

While I was learning to build a quad I found the sims an invaluable tool. Yes they not exactly like the real thing but if you get the basics down the skills certainly translate.
