FPV Freerider 3.8

The flight simulator offers an immersive experience, allowing users to navigate various weather conditions, including rain, wind, sleet, and snow. It supports both first-person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying, catering to a range of flying preferences.

Key features include support for self-leveling and acro modes, alongside a 3D mode for inverted flying. Users can explore six different sceneries, enhanced by a track generator capable of producing millions of tracks through procedural generation. The simulator also provides customizable settings for input rates, camera options, and physics adjustments. There’s an option for low resolution mode, beneficial for achieving higher frame rates, as well as a Google Cardboard style side-by-side VR view.

Touchscreen controls are available in modes 1, 2, 3, and 4, with mode 2 set as the default configuration:

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

This simulator is designed for powerful devices. Optimal performance is achieved by selecting low resolution and lower graphics quality in the main menu. Activating "Performance Mode" in your device settings is also recommended for better results.

It's important to note that this application serves as an RC flight simulator rather than a conventional game. New users may find the controls challenging as they are crafted to replicate real-world dynamics. Therefore, the use of a quality physical controller is strongly advised.

For those with devices supporting USB OTG, there is an option to connect a USB gamepad/controller. A free demo is available for users to test compatibility with their controller setups. Physical controllers can be configured between modes 1 through 4, offering flexibility for user preferences.

While there is no assurance that the simulator will work with every device or controller, support is available via email for troubleshooting assistance. Successfully tested controllers include brands such as FrSKY Taranis, Spektrum, Devo, DJI FPV, Turnigy, Flysky, Jumper, Radiomaster, Eachine, Detrum, Graupner, and Futaba RC radios, as well as Realflight and Esky USB Controllers, Logitech gamepads, Moga controllers, Xbox, and PlayStation gamepads.
