App Profile: SimuDrone - Drone Simulator

This app is very useful for practicing flying techniques using the rc-n1 controller without needing to go outside and find a place to fly your drone. While the app itself serves a unique purpose, and currently doesn’t have an alternative, there should be some changes: 1. Controller flight mode sync: currently doesnt switch in game flight mode (cine, normal, sport) based on the controller 2. Graphical quality: while you can explore the spaces decently well, higher quality graphics would make it a bit more useful to acclimate to real world scenarios. Overall, pretty solid. Kinda annoying that you need to pay after only a few flights but I get it. Nice app!

Great app for learning to fly with fpv. Really works with your learning the sticks. Worth the $2.99 for infinite play. However… it needs to be able to turn off the music. It would be cool if one could play their own music on their phones library!

This app is basic, but it is the only app I could find that allows a pilot to practice with the actual remote. For that reason, and because it performs its basic functions well, it deserves five stars. With a simulator like this, a pilot can develop key skills without the cost and risk of operating their aircraft. Don't judge this app as a toy or video game, consider it a training aid for drone pilots. Currently, only FPV is supported; but I think new, aspiring, pilots will find value in this app for the following uses: • Practice smooth, cinematic, filming techniques coordinating both sticks and the gimbal control (orbits, tracking, etc.) • Practice precision flying and obstacle avoidance • Experiment with different control modes safely (Mode 1, Mode 2, etc.) to discover what works best for you • Practice aerial inspection techniques • Practice safely in 'sport' mode • Practice when weather or other flight conditions have you grounded to keep muscle memory keen
