DroneGP 15

Be a pioneer in the future of racing: grow as a pilot in a completely new genre with the first multicopter racing simulator.

What's underneath DroneGP 15: Race tracks: 15, with 4 free. Flight controller: On board every drone, like the real ones. Camera: Realistic FPV. Multiplayer: Every track.

DroneGP 15 brings a whole new dimension to racing games. As in a car or motorbike racing sim, you need precision and focus to complete a clean lap: learn the racing lines and know how your vehicle behaves in every situation. Unlike those sims, you have an extra dimension to exploit and keep under control, and that makes for a unique experience.

You grow as a racing drone pilot through several classes of vehicles on many different tracks, starting with small, light multicopters that are easy to control.

Pure physics

Vehicle simulation is driven only by physics. Every drone has a "flight controller" on board, exactly like real ones, and that lets us tune the experience towards arcade or simulation. A drone becomes much easier to fly when its flight controller counters inertia, or limits tilt angles to keep its speed down.

AI players fly the same physically realistic vehicles you do and adapt to each track, so every race is different. Online leaderboards and multiplayer races keep the challenge going.

The PC and Mac alpha

Before the iOS release, we put out a free "multiplayer alpha" for Mac and PC to test our new multiplayer engine, with separate builds optimised for Oculus. It supported joysticks and RC remotes and offered three camera views: third person, FPV with a 130° wide-angle lens, and a cinematic scenario camera. It started with one class of vehicles on a single track, and later builds added a main menu, three tracks including a new beach track, and smoother multiplayer.
