The Drone Racing League Simulator (2017)
About the DRL SIM This is what it feels like to fly inside the fastest racing drones. Learn to fly like a pro on the DRL SIM, a true-to-life drone racing simulator that will push the limits of your drone skills. Master the DRL SIM and you can compete for a chance to become a professional pilot in the Drone Racing League! Learn to Fly Like a Pro Get your start on the DRL SIM. An interactive training tutorial will teach you all the basic First Person View (FPV) drone maneuvers and controls to get you up in the air. Watch replays to learn how to perfect your racing lines and decrease your lap time. True-to-Life Simulator There is no better way to get started than to learn with true-to-life demos. DRL SIM uses advanced aerodynamic modeling, and one-to-one physics with data from real life drones, so every push and pull mimics that of a DRL drone. Fly DRL World Championship Season courses and connect your transmitter to feel the real thrill of drone racing. Make it Your Own You have the option to customize your journey from start to finish. Build your drone to optimize your specs using over 100 million drone combinations, then you can style your drone your way. Choose from a variety of fun skins, or purchase an animated skin, and even design a course that you can fly through. Fly with Friends Go head-to-head with friends around the world in cross-platform multiplayer mode. Fly to the top of the leaderboard on each map by setting the fastest time. Fly with other players by creating or joining a room, entering into hosted tournaments, and connecting with the community on Discord and Facebook.
