DRL Simulator

description DRL Simulator Overview

The DRL Simulator is the official video game of the Drone Racing League, released in 2017 to realistically simulate first-person view (FPV) drone flight. It features highly accurate flight physics and tracks that are 3D-scanned from real-world DRL racecourses. Players participate in multiplayer races to test their piloting skills, with top performers historically given opportunities to qualify for the physical Drone Racing League through the simulator.

help DRL Simulator FAQ

Can I use my own real-world radio controller with the DRL Simulator?

Yes, the simulator supports virtually all major real-world radio transmitters, including those from brands like FrSky and Futaba, often via a USB adapter. Connecting your actual controller allows you to build realistic muscle memory before flying a physical racing drone.

Does the DRL Simulator feature real-world Drone Racing League courses?

The game is the official simulator of the Drone Racing League and includes 1:1 digital replicas of actual DRL maps and courses. This lets players experience the exact neon-drenched tracks flown by professional DRL pilots during the 2017 season and beyond.

Is the DRL Simulator cross-platform for online multiplayer?

Released in 2017, the game is available on PC, Mac, and PlayStation 4, though multiplayer cross-play functionality between consoles and PC has historically been limited. Players looking for competitive online multiplayer should check the active lobbies on their specific platform.

What flight mode should I use in the DRL Simulator to learn how to fly?

Newcomers usually start with lower 'Angle' or 'Horizon' modes to stabilize the drone before graduating to the 'Acro' or 'Rate' mode used by professionals. Practicing in Acro mode in the simulator is essential for learning how to navigate complex tracks without altitude stabilization.
