“Just getting into flying drones and every youtuber recommended this sim. Took about 8 hours of frustration learning, but suddenly the controls clicked for me and it all just started making sense. I could fly wherever I…”
“This game is really good for its price, it has got some amazing physics which do not feel much different from real life. The game also has got loads of popular drone like the air 65 and 75 which are only 2 from many…”
“I don't know how good the physics are, but as soon as I got my first drone (tinywhoop air75) I could fly it because I had practiced well in the simulator. However, this simulator doesn't have wind. Unless you go to the…”

“It's a good whoop sim. Controls integrate well, flights are relatively realistic, and there's a decent variety of pre-built whoops. The only complaint I have is the number of pre-canned track setups as there's only…”
“perfect even with a xbox controller”

“Great microdrone sim! Fun, realistic and looks good. The environments are small compared to the ones in the original Liftoff game, but on the other hand they're super detailed.”
“it has good grahesics”
“If you're a newbie to FPV (like me), would recommend using the balloons section in acro mode (any map). Acro doesn't hold your hands but the balloons gives you a specific task so you can focus on (rather than just blat…”

“Very good no more money falling out of my pockets on crashed drones. :D”
“Fantastic intro to fpv micros! Well worth putting time in with the controller you plan on using IRL.”

“Really nice game, works great on Bazzite with 4060 Ti on 1080p (200+fps average with some drops to around 80), but struggles on 4k and crashes when changing resolution and graphics quality. But works if you use launch…”

“Very neat drone game, I particularly like that it's dedicated to tiny whoops. Has a couple neat features for immersion and from what I can tell, has mostly accurate physics. I wish there were a few more maps? A lot of…”

“great fpv sim, the physics are a bit floaty at times (although this might get fixed with the new physics patch) and a lot of the default track lap times are set with some dubiously realistic also the community is pretty…”
“Most boards seem a bit confining, id like a board for building dives, why not a bando, needs more and up to date whoops and a better whoop costume shop, like build your own from parts, aio, motors, props, canopy, cam”
