A trial of a drone racing FPV simulator with freestyle and racing modes, cross-play multiplayer and an editor for tuning drone physics.
DVR Simulator Trial is a racing and simulation game about FPV drones from Vigilante Games. You pilot a racing drone in freestyle and race modes, seeing the world through its camera. This trial version was first listed on SideQuest in November 2020.
How it plays
There are two ways to view your flight in VR. Monoscopic mode shows the same image to both eyes; it is not 3D, but it matches what real FPV pilots see in their goggles, and the developer calls it the safe option. Stereo mode uses full VR depth, and the developer warns that it is quite intense.
- Freestyle and racing modes
- Monoscopic and stereo VR views
- An in-game editor for tweaking drone physics
- Savable profiles in an open format that you can share with friends
Multiplayer
You can fly with or against friends, and multiplayer is cross-play: the developer gives the example of a Linux player, a Quest player and an Xbox One player in the same session.
Comfort
SideQuest marks it as moderate and as a seated experience. If fast drone flight bothers you, start in monoscopic mode and read about motion sickness in VR.
