FPV Freerider Recharged

FPV Freerider

About this game

Please read the full description:

This is a simulator, not a game. The simulator enables you to practice your FPV racing/freestyle and LOS flying skills on your android device.
This simulator requires a powerful device.
You will get best performance if selecting Low Screen Resolution and Lowest Graphics Quality on the main menu. Also, if possible activate "Performance Mode" or similar in your phone settings to get the best performance.


(There is a free version of the original FPV Freerider app that you can try to see if it works on your setup. If the original FPV Freerider app works on your device, chances are pretty good that FPV Freerider Recharged will work too. Recharged is more demanding though).

Supports self-leveling and acro mode, as well as 3D mode (for inverted flying).
Custom settings for input rates, camera and physics.
Google Cardboard side-by-side VR view option.
Touchscreen controls support mode 1, 2, 3 and 4. Mode 2 is default.

You can use touchscreen controls to fly, but flying a racequad with touchscreen controls is very hard. Using a good physical controller (such as an RC radio connected via USB OTG) is highly recommended. There are a lot of videos on youtube that shows how to connect an RC transmitter to FPV Freerider. You can also find more info in the manual, there is a link at the end of this text.

Physical controllers are configurable between mode 1,2,3 and 4 during the Calibrate Controller procedure.
Controllers that have been successfully used include FrSKY Taranis, Spektrum, Devo, DJI FPV, Turnigy, Flysky, Jumper, Radiomaster, Eachine, Detrum, Graupner and Futaba RC radios, Realflight and Esky USB Controllers, Logitech, Moga, Xbox and Playstation gamepads.

This version of FPV Freerider Recharged is adapted to android devices. In order to keep the file size low and performance up, it does not contain the usual built-in levels of the desktop version. Instead it has some adjusted/previously unreleased levels more suitable for mobile devices.
The full level editor is included. The levels are fully compatible with the desktop version of Recharged.

You can use the touchscreen to create and edit levels. Levels can be saved and loaded locally on your device.
It can be difficult to make precise editing on a small screen - for extensive editing it is recommended to use a USB/bluetooth mouse (and keyboard). An even better alternative is to use the desktop version to create your levels and then simply copy them to the correct folder on your android device.
The correct folder is usually found at
"/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.Freeride.FreeriderRecharged/files"
(or "Internal Storage/Android/Data/com.Freeride.FreeriderRecharged/files/")

Ratings and reviews

I've been using the Freerider sims for 5-6 years now and love it. Can't count the hours I've spent creating levels and even an accurate re-creation of the park I normally fly at. Unfortunately, all of a sudden, it's has unplayable lag. Cleared cashes, deleted a lot of pics/vids/msgs, then restarted my phone to ensure there was space but it's still lagging. If I uninstall and reinstall will I still have the paid version? And more importantly, will my custom levels still be there? Super worried 😳

Found this app while waiting on my first FPV controller to arrive. Great way to start wrapping your brain around the mode 2/acro controls. A bug I noticed on Android is if you were previously using the sluggish rate preset and you activate the timed race, it always sets it to very high rates during the race. Not sure if it's same with USB controller. Hopefully an easy software fix. Update/workaround: if you create a user preset in the settings, the rates arent over ridden during a timed race.

Fantastic Sim it seems like. I'm VERRRY new to FVP drones and have been having trouble getting the hang of things. My cheap $100 NewBeeDrone has taken a beating in the process until I found this app. Excellent way to learn drone flight without destroying your equipment. My only desire would be larger scale maps and perhaps some more customization of the settings. Works flawlessly on my device, though, and the map editor is a very cool touch.
