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.

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.

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.

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:
-The achievement system in DRL Simulator is a complete mess. After any race, you’ll often get 3-4 grayed-out Steam notifications falsely claiming you unlocked an in-game achievement—except you didn’t. Even worse, some achievements never unlock properly, and the game fails to track progress accurately.
It’s frustrating to put in the effort only for the game to glitch out and ignore your actual progress. If you’re into achievement hunting, don’t bother—this system is beyond broken.
- 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 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.
