Both games have their own pros and cons. To me, Velocidrone is much more fun to play as a racing sim. But when it comes to freestyle practice, I prefer Liftoff over Velocidrone.
Great video. I have liftoff and really do like it a lot. The night mode is super cool and adds a great feel to the environment making the game feel a bit extra special...
Some nice flying! Can tell you’ve put some serious time in on these SIMS! 👍👍. Saw your other video as well (100 hrs). I’ve gotta put some more time into these SIMS as well. Have been using liftoff but just now testing a new sim called UNCRASHED. Pretty good maps if you haven’t seen it yet. Nice review by the way! 👍👍🤙
Thank you so much! I've got to check it out, graphics seem to be pretty impressive. I wouldn't mind trying out a few more simulators and making some more review/showcases. I've put a bit of time into the simulators and real life lol
@@QuickFlights FYI: I just uploaded a short clip from the Uncrashed FPV SIM if you want to check it out. The MAP is called 'Arctic Island'. Think you'll be surprised at how good the map actually looks and how good the flight characteristics are as well. 👍
I just wish Velocidrone would add support for ultrawide monitors, graphics could also do with an overhaul and UI does definitely need an upgrade as well but all that aside its still my prefered sim for practice
Q. Velocidrone gravity vs Liftoff gravity because I have liftoff and seems the drones fells like have less gravity. I see the drone in liftoff are suspended more in the air that’s what I’m said.
I think a combination of both drag and gravity, drones just don't travel as far on idle throttle in Velocidrone compared to Liftoff, that's where the complaints about the floatiness come from for Liftoff.
may I ask which one is better for practicing before using real-life drones? I'm not looking for racing, just want to learn and feel the physics of flying a real life drone before actually trying it on a real drone.
I would say VelociDrone is probably better in that regard, for myself it feels very close to how it does actually flying using real-life drones. Best of luck c:
Some people get it naturally faster, otherwise have to really practice practice and practice. If you stick to it I believe pretty much everyone can do it.
Liftoff's air dymatic sim feels no real, low gravity , and easy Dirfty , but better than DRL . VelociDrone feel more Real, but maps and graphic are limited
Thanks a lot for this awesome video! Just a question for me is that for a beginner like me...which one is more beginner firendly...you know like which one has more tutorials? Really appreciate your help.
id say get velocidrone. liftoff is extremely drifty compared to real drones, and the devs has made a point of thinking they are above some people and treating others like idiots for pointing out flaws. if it wasn't for that, liftoff would be awesome :/
It is three years later I feel like lift off has barely updated. The gopro you carry is old the drones are old I tried to find a similar to what i fly but nothing there,
@@QuickFlights Yeah I stopped going on Liftoff. DRL maps are just a little better and the UI is nicer. Can't really speak on the physics of the two though. Of course DRL sim is more for racing but there is a free-flight mode too.
While agreeing with most about what you said about handling, this statement is kinda weird to me: "They both feature great graphics compared to other drone simulators in the market" To which simulators did you compare that? Both look absolutely crappy in comparison to DCL or even DRL. Especially Velocidrone. Verlocidrone looks like a game from 1999 and I have no clue how anyone could say they "feature great graphics". I frankly dropped Velocidrone because it looked so bad and some maps feel very halfheartedly made (I e.g. got stuck underneath a floating tire stack that was just not put onto the ground properly by whoever made the track right at the start). I agree about Velocidrone really nailing the feeling, feeling very realistic in terms of handling. And I first thought I wouldn't care much about the graphics only about handling, which is why I bought Veloci. Turns out, I was wrong. After 10 hours of staring at a dull muddy green plane that's supposed to be grass with 5 trees around it I simply couldn't bear it anymore and switched first to DRL which already looked much better and later to DCL (because I found people playing it on Twitch by sheer accident) which looks WAY better. The maps in DCL are much more enjoyable, interesting and better crafted. They just absolutely killed it with the graphics there. A thing that is sadly completely missing from it though is a map editor. If you are 100% into drone racing and only want a sim to improve on that, by all means, get Velocidrone. But if you even slightly find yourself caring about what you stare at for hours to come, don't buy this as your first simulator. One thing though: Most people I know end up with multiple simulators anyway. Because of different features like custom map building, racing, playing with friends who only have simulator X etc. So don't be too hard on yourself if you think you bought "the wrong simulator" - you will eventually play it again ^^
I prefer Liftoff actually for freestyle, although when I do freestyle in VelociDrone I haven't touched anything to do we the physics as I don't want to ruin the racing feel.
you need a trasnsmitter* to play -- can support vr pretty sure in liftoff but unnecessary. i got the radiomaster ts16x max edition to fly my new quad with. training will be nice with it as well.
Dubz is correct, I use my transmitter and I highly recommend it, but if you want you could use just an Xbox controller if you have nothing. You could hook up the feed to your goggles or vr setup but the majority of people just fly with it on the monitor.
These simulators are for computers, however you might be able to figure out a way to use the mobile phone as a controller if that's what you are asking
Velocidrone is the best if your racing. And they have 1000's of maps. That is why there is no video of each tracks. There are at least 4 online races every week on VD as well.
I bought liftoff first. and I decided to give velocidrone a try. I keep falling through the map, and when I callabled my remote, it actually changed settings on my remote not just for the sim. velocidrone sucks
Velocidrones UI IS HORROID. somehow the old ui slightly better lol the new ui is so dated looking and it takes so many clicks to get around the chunky menus. The controls feel less floaty than DRL though so Velocidrone is my preferred.
@@QuickFlights I have them all, played them all, and now I only play Uncrashed now... mainly because the Level Load times are blazing fast, and navigating through the UI is blazing fast and straight forward. Once your settings are set up though, you just launch the game, click the map you want, and boom, you're in the game. You dont' have to click through half a dozen screens like Velocidrone or sit twiddling your thumbs waiting on the Load screen like Liftoff. They used the Unreal engine instead of Unity, so it looks a little different, maybe slightly subpar to Liftoff, but the map loads are 20x faster that Liftoff which makes a world of difference. You'll be asking, how did they do that! Its so fast.. at first... Compare Uncrashed's "The Docks" Unreal engine graphcis vs. what you already know, Velocidrone's "Coastal" Shipyard Level or Liftoff's "Hanger C03" level and you can decide for yourself before you buy: ruclips.net/video/V08EUz4GwHQ/видео.html
It's a addon that implements a gamemode, you wouldn't say Microsoft Flight Simulator is a game just because you can have addons which allow you to fly boats...
If you watched the video I said that VelociDrone was more racing orientated and Liftoff was better for Freestyle to put it simply (plus a bunch of other factors that would depend on personal preference). Depending on what type of flying you do more I would choose accordingly.
@@QuickFlights I understand exactly what you said but the point remains that YOU made a comparison and YOU refused to make YOUR decision known. Since you have compared both products, you are the expert compared to us. you are going to be able to make your own decision better then someone watching your comparison video that doesn't provide an ultimate answer. I watched the entire video waiting for that and... nothing. That is especially accentuated by many newbs barely into the market, like my self who doesnt specialize in either freestyle or racing or anything but merely looking for the combo of fun/good graphics and ultimately the best teaching tool to learn to fly acro so i dont break my -real- drone.
I understand your point, I just find it hard to believe that you are coming into the hobby and don’t know what type of flying you want to do. But I will take this on board for future videos and I think it should be a more decisive style of video, thanks.
@@johnjlopez the point of the video was to tell you the pros and cons of each stimulator. The fact that he doesn’t tell you which one to use means that it’s pretty much up to your preference on what you want, so he can’t recommend one because someone might want something specific from a stimulator.
This video helped me move from drl to velocidrone. Super thanks!
Thanks for the great comment, hope it’s going great!
Appreciate the roundup. As a newbie to drones and looking for something I can practice on this was helpful.
Liked, subbed, and my vote goes to Velocidrone all the way! Over 1000 hours and counting
I used both and for me, Liftoff was the clear winner and the reason I'm pretty good now. Both are great though!
Both games have their own pros and cons. To me, Velocidrone is much more fun to play as a racing sim. But when it comes to freestyle practice, I prefer Liftoff over Velocidrone.
Honestly, you couldn't have said it any better than that!
agreed
so if i want a drone racing simulator, velocidrone is my best bet?

vdrone >>>> liftoff
Epic thanks for the info. I’ve got a liftoff and was considering buying velocidrone, but after watching this I think I’ll just stick with liftoff

I think a combination of both drag and gravity, drones just don't travel as far on idle throttle in Velocidrone compared to Liftoff, that's where the complaints about the floatiness come from for Liftoff.
I am looking for a simulator for micro drones (75mm frame) sould i wait for liftoff:micro drones or liftoff is just fine?
may I ask which one is better for practicing before using real-life drones? I'm not looking for racing, just want to learn and feel the physics of flying a real life drone before actually trying it on a real drone.
I would say VelociDrone is probably better in that regard, for myself it feels very close to how it does actually flying using real-life drones. Best of luck c:
amazing video, helped me a lot for sure. subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
After many many hours over several days it still feels like I'm never gonna learn this ever.
Some people get it naturally faster, otherwise have to really practice practice and practice. If you stick to it I believe pretty much everyone can do it.
Which is best for practice for a cinewhoop?
Good question. I m also looking for answers.

cool video! well done
Thanks!
Nice video man 👌✌
Glad you liked it!
what map were you flying at 0:51 seconds for liftoff, looks awesome!
id say get velocidrone. liftoff is extremely drifty compared to real drones, and the devs has made a point of thinking they are above some people and treating others like idiots for pointing out flaws. if it wasn't for that, liftoff would be awesome :/
saw the forums and they think they are the hot $h1t in the market
Great vid thx! :D
Glad you liked it!
It is three years later I feel like lift off has barely updated. The gopro you carry is old the drones are old I tried to find a similar to what i fly but nothing there,
What was that first map at the start
Thanks budd, you helped me a lot👌🤝
Glad I could help
Bagged Liftoff today for just $13 on sale. Woot.
Score!
What drone you are using in liftoff and what rates?
Velocidrone micro yaw in acro mode is a little bit weird. Have you ever tried the micro quad?
DRL is great too. I haven't tried Velocidrone though
Haven't played with DRL, any good?
@@QuickFlights Yeah I stopped going on Liftoff. DRL maps are just a little better and the UI is nicer. Can't really speak on the physics of the two though. Of course DRL sim is more for racing but there is a free-flight mode too.
@@QuickFlights i fully recommend drl
thanks. I chose lift off. Wish I could have used an affiliate for steam but they don't operate like that.
Thanks for your comment I appreciate it.
🌬️🕹️🎈
Thanks a lot for this vidéo !
Yea, you very good racer and you really good do freestyle
Thanks mate!

DRL is not real, it feels like flying in the moon
Hi I’m a new beginner
May i know DJI Remote Controller 2 can use for this simulator ? Pls
How about LOS mode? Between this game? Thanks
Hi what about DRL? CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN
I haven't tried DRL, maybe in the future I will try to do a comparison. From what I have seen it seems like an alright sim.
The physic DRL is so weird, It's like u are on the moon.
So for freestyle, you prefer VelociDrone? Did you do much tinkering with the physics to get it right?
I prefer Liftoff actually for freestyle, although when I do freestyle in VelociDrone I haven't touched anything to do we the physics as I don't want to ruin the racing feel.
Sick
thanks!
What type of setup would I need to play this? Like what vr goggles and do you just use like a regular controller? I have a pc
you need a trasnsmitter* to play -- can support vr pretty sure in liftoff but unnecessary. i got the radiomaster ts16x max edition to fly my new quad with. training will be nice with it as well.
Dubz is correct, I use my transmitter and I highly recommend it, but if you want you could use just an Xbox controller if you have nothing. You could hook up the feed to your goggles or vr setup but the majority of people just fly with it on the monitor.
Is it possible, to use my phantom 4 radio on those simulators?
No
Is that Joshua's house? Lol
👍🏼 it is JB‘s backyard
Can play using mobile phone?
These simulators are for computers, however you might be able to figure out a way to use the mobile phone as a controller if that's what you are asking

Yes that is correct. I think my main wish was for a way to filter through the maps for the most downloaded, rated, etc.
He’s Australian let’s goooo
I love how nobody includes DCL.
Don't have DCL yet :/
I bought liftoff first. and I decided to give velocidrone a try. I keep falling through the map, and when I callabled my remote, it actually changed settings on my remote not just for the sim. velocidrone sucks
I prefer VelociDrone for race practicing and LiftOff for freestyle
4k 165hz? damn what an insane monitor

After 1 year, is thie review still relevant?
Yep, all the points in the video remain the same.
good
