![]() ![]() In terms of the tryout component, DRL says that the top 24 participants (who complete the simulation course in the shortest amount of time) will be invited to compete in a live finals simulation tournament in January, with the winner of that getting the $75,000 racing contract. A tip if you decide to try playing yourself: be extremely gentle with the joysticks! But to be honest it actually mimicked my experience flying real FPV racing drones, which are also insanely hard to fly. That being said, actually flying a drone and racing without crashing in the game was insanely hard, even with controller. ![]() The graphics were great (comparable to a high-quality PC game) and it’s probably a game I’d actually pay money for. Once running on a powerful PC with a connected Xbox controller I actually had a lot of fun playing. I then switched over to the gaming PC I use to power my Oculus Rift setup, where it ran flawlessly. I first tried the simulator (which is a downloadable game) on my MacBook with no controller, and while the slender laptop was able to power up the game it ran at a really low frame rate, it was basically unplayable. You can also see the time trial rankings for the official tryouts from both within the game and online. The game itself offers a tutorial (which teaches you how to fly as well as the rules of drone racing), free flight mode, campaign and even a live multiplayer mode. You can control the drone with the arrow keys (not recommended), a bluetooth controller or Xbox controller, or specialized drone controller that can be connected to your computer. The simulator itself is pretty basic – it’s available for PC and Mac, and can gives you a first person view of a racing drone flying on different courses.
