FPV Freerider demo

FPV Freerider

About this game

Please read this description:
This is a RC flight simulator, not a game. You might find that the controls are hard, but that's because it's made to mimic flying a real life racing quadcopter.
Supports physical controllers. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use a good physical controller, it makes flying so much easier and more enjoyable compared to using touchscreen controls.

Fly (and crash!) all you want regardless of rain, wind, sleet or snow.
Supports first person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying.
Includes self-leveling and acro mode.

This simulator requires a powerful device. You will get best performance if you select low resolution and low graphics quality on the main menu. Also, if possible activate "Performance Mode" or similar in your phone settings to get the best performance.

Note: This demo is just so you can try if it works on your setup. The drone in this demo has deliberately sluggish settings. In the full version you can tune the settings precisely to your liking.

This demo includes one scene (the desert). The full version of FPV Freerider includes six sceneries as well as a racetrack generator that can generate millions of tracks by procedural generation. The full version also has setup options for rates, camera and physics, as well as 3D flight mode for inverted flying. The full version also supports Google Cardboard style VR goggles.

Touchscreen controls support mode 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Mode 2 is default input:

Left stick - Throttle/Yaw
Right stick - Pitch/Roll

If the simulator doesn't work on your device, it doesn't work, simple as that. Most probably nothing to be done about it. Giving a low rating does not help.

If your device supports USB OTG and you have the right cable you can try to use a USB gamepad/RC controller for better control.
Physical controllers are configurable between mode 1,2,3 and 4.
There is no guarantee that it will work with your device/controller, please try this free demo first to see.

Please try this free demo version to see if it will work with your particular setup.

Ratings and reviews

The game says it has deliberately sluggish settings so you can see if works with our set up. I don't understand this? Sure only one location is available but wouldn't you want us to see the better version that isn't sluggish? Based on this sluggish version I wouldn't purchase it. I understand is a simulation. It's hard to find the middle on the control stick. On a real drone you let go of the sticks and it auto levels out. This sim doesn't. It would be sweet if you could walk around from the person prospective view. Maybe touch where you want to go onscreen.

The about this in the reviews, the Dev wrote an excellent in-depth tech analysis explaining specific details what the app is and isn't, and also explained how to make use of the app and what works with the app. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles because it's not the full version. So, bottom line, the information is on how to use the app, and if it should not work on your device, after trouble shooting. Then, it just doesn't work! Try a different device if you want to use the app.

This sim might have saved me $100's of millions. Well a lot. LOL I went through Josh Bardwell's turtorial, and quickly found out that acro mode is all that will make you comfortable, once you make the leap. Before you've fully "made the leap", I couldn't even GET to a gate, much less go through one. But it's not hard, it would be fine for self leveling practice, but I had more than quite a few crashes that would have happened outdoors, and the drone held up fine. LOL
