FPV Freerider (itch)

Game Aperçu & History

RC Quadcopter Racing Simulator.
First person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying available.

Supports mode 1,2,3 and 4.

Jouabilité Mechanics & Systems

It is highly recommended to use a USB controller. Most USB controllers should work

Includes self-leveling and acro mode. In the full version 3d flight mode is also available (for inverted flying).

Release & Industry Impact

Six sceneries are included. There is a demo version that you can try for free which includes one scenery. The demo has a deliberately rather sluggish quad setup. In the full version you have the ability to adjust settings for input rates, camera and physics precisely to your liking.

Fly (and crash!) all you want regardless of rain, wind, sleet or snow – all for the price of a few replacement props.
