A good start

Failing anything else at present available within this market, this app is a reasonable first offering in an area that needed such a practice app for FPV and general quad simulation.

The price is a bit high at this point for what is included as out of the four sceneries available, only the Factory environment – itself fairly minimalist – is really of any interest. However, the sea-scene offers some possibilities that could also have been extended. Detail is good and the actual quality of the graphics allows for useful 3D depth-perception – which is really necessary for this kind of SIM

That said – its still a good start.

Only three models are offered and two of these are cosmetically similar so really offer no specific differences between each of them them. There are only Quad-Xmodels as well – no ‘Octos, Octo X, Hexas of any kind or Tri-tails etc.

I also feel that the “Out of Range” warning should be an optional On/Off situation – though I imagine the main reason for this has more to do with the limitation of the mapped sceneries than a concern for “operational reality”. In fact as there is a growing sector of ‘Copter owners who are using OTH (Over The Horizon) equipment, this app might be advised to eventually take this into account.

Handling of the models is fairly realistic when using the RC Sim controllers – using the Accelerometer function is, in my opinion, a waste of time. This si not what this app is about.

As there really is nothing similar at this time available, I would nevertheless recommend this app for anyone who is genuinely interested in getting some pre-real FPV practice.

One would nevertheless hope that the Author is going to quickly produce some additional sceneries – or at the very least, populate the existing ones in a more interesting manner.
