There may be workarounds for this, but that is outside of the scope of this article. After the game has checked for updates, another launcher will appear for actually opening the game. This is where you can adjust your resolution and graphics settings before the simulator opens. From here, you can select a game mode, select a level, and start flying! This is the single player section of the game.
Setup : The Betaflight of HotProps! Adjust these values as you play to hone in your quadcopter as much as possible. As we have said before on this site, continuously up your rates to improve your flying ability. Scroll down this menu to find further customization options such as camera angle, quadcopter weight, and LED setup.
Important: If you plan on playing multiplayer, you must setup your username at the bottom of this screen. If you do not, you will get an error when attempting to join or create a multiplayer game. Calibration : You will setup your transmitter within this window. Game Settings : Allows you to further customize the sound and graphic settings within the game. Here you can adjust settings such as VSync, Anisotropic Filtering, etc.
If you are having performance issues with HOTPROPS after customizing the launcher graphics options, we would recommend adjusting the settings within this window to further improve performance. Multiplayer : Fly with your friends! Clicking on the multiplayer selection on the main screen will change the top of the screen to multiplayer specific options.
These will allow you to create or join a game session, setup your quadcopter, and adjust game settings. This window will allow you to customize your quadcopter to your liking. Our first recommendation would be to fly a bit in game and see how everything functions. Our recommendation would be to first set your rates and expo to a level that you are comfortable with.
If the game feels too floaty — a common complaint with simulators — you can try increasing the quadcopter weight. We felt that regardless of physics, the weight was too low for a real quadcopter setup, and bumped up the numbers to more closely match our quadcopters.
If you have a scale at home, try weighing your own quadcopter and adjust accordingly. After I made these adjustments, I felt the quadcopter flew much more in line with what I am used to.
Oh boy, do I ever love setting up transmitters in simulators. If you have read some of our other simulator reviews, you know that setting up transmitters is a real treat. For whatever reason, be it the transmitter companies or the sim developers, nobody can really get these things to bind correctly.
Inevitably you will find people online having a ton of problems setting things up. Hopefully this quick transmitter setup guide will help! So, first things first, whenever you are going to use your transmitter with simulator software, make sure your transmitter firmware is up to date. This should solve a lot of the connectivity problems that many users experience. Not a big deal if this is a fresh build, but if you have any issues or are binding a new transmitter, clear out the old bindings.
Press yes on each confirmation step here. A pop up will tell you to move something on the transmitter to register it. Be careful not to touch any other input devices, as it can mess with the calibration.
Simply move the sticks around on the transmitter until the pop up window disappears, and a name for the transmitter appears. If you cannot get the transmitter to respond, you likely have a connection issue with the controller.
Make sure the firmware is up to date. This will save you a massive amount of headache. Either open notepad on your computer or grab a pen and paper. The left side will show all of the different axes. One by one, select each axis, move the sticks on the transmitter to see what responds, and then note that somewhere. In my case, it is the roll axis. Do this for all the controls.
Here is where we utilize our notes from earlier. If all goes well, you will click on each of the movement ranges throttle, pitch, roll, and yaw , move the correct stick, and the binding will match the axis that you noted. The first time I bound my transmitter, the yaw would not bind. When I got it to bind, it would bind to the throttle axis, and mess up my other settings. Painful for sure. We noted in our improvements section that we would love to see HOTPROPS allow users to manually select an axis from a dropdown list after running the calibration.
This would save an immense amount of headache. You can adjust the deadband to account for any drift in your gimbals, and invert axes as needed. If when playing you notice your quadcopter is going right instead of left, you probably need to invert your controls for that axis.
Again, this is why noting everything down will make it easier if you have to come back later and adjust the numbered axes. Agras MG Series Comparison. Repair Services One-stop aftersales service for worry-free repairs.

The man behind this wanted this to be a realistic drone racing simulator. So aside from offering impressive interface, it includes freestyle and race modes for online multiplayer racing. This is a great opportunity to test your skills against others. In addition, it gives you tons of freedom to experiment because you can adjust the drone parameters like the number of battery cells, the number of propellers and motors, and even the weight of the aircraft.
Unfortunately, the developer decided to stop working on this because he had no time. He confessed that he only developed this as a hobby. He shared the files on his Facebook page. RealFlight RF8 Horizon gives you the classic feel with upgraded capabilities when flying drones on your screen. It features incredible realism with its True-To-Life Physics that make piloting a simulated drone more lifelike and fun.

In addition, it offers FPV flight scenarios, training programs, model tuning and more. So, you will learn a lot from this to improve your piloting skills. What makes this set apart from the other RC drone simulators is the wide variety of multi-rotor simulation it offers.
However, this works with Windows only and you need a USB adapter to connect to a radio transmitter. Overall, this is a great simulator which makes it a good platform to practice especially if you have bad motor skills and want to experience flying a drone before actually going into the field. When I used this, I noticed that it helped me maneuver a new aircraft smoothly when I flew it outdoors for the first time after spending a day of flying it using this RC drone simulator.
This is worth it! This can be buggy and unstable, but the developers are dedicated to keeping this going because they release updates from time to time. The team behind this uses community donations to fund the simulator. At the time, RDS is still in its Alpha version and they have made such a big improvement.
