VelociDrone

The racing simulator of the FPV leagues. MultiGP name it their official simulator, the Velocidrone Racing League runs inside it, and Global Qualifier tracks are published there as .trk files before the season starts, so pilots can fly the season's course before race day. The relationship extends to live events: the second MultiGP Velocidrone European Championship was held in Germany in September 2026.

Its physics is described as a chain simulated end to end, from the battery through the ESC and flight controller to the motors, propellers and airframe drag, with a choice between Bat Cave Games' own flight controller and a Betaflight 4.2 port. What a pilot can change is narrower than what is modelled: there is no parts-level builder, and each of the roughly 100 prebuilt models carries fifteen settings covering drag, propeller size, power and profile, weight, camera and battery simulation.

Content is where it is unusually deep. 50 sceneries across the base licence and its packs, over a thousand tracks included with the licence and more than forty thousand available to download, every one of them built by the community in an editor carrying over two thousand objects. It is not sold on Steam; the licence comes from velocidrone.com, and the Android and iOS apps are a separate purchase and a much smaller product, with fewer scenes, no track editor and no live racing.

01Price

One-off desktop licence, plus five optional paid packs: Freestyle, Combat, Micro, Mega and Champions Series. The Android and iOS apps are a separate purchase, are not covered by the desktop licence, and carry four scenes against the desktop catalogue. Check the store for today's price.

02Physics model

Bat Cave Games describe a chain they simulate end to end: NACA curves for propeller profiles, a battery with voltage and current, real ESC code for throttle ramping and braking, full flight controller code driving the motors with kv and coil resistance, and aerodynamic drag on the frame. You choose between their own flight controller and a Betaflight 4.2 port. The physics rate is a user setting and neither the rate nor its steps are published.

03Controller support

The manual assumes a transmitter and advises running its internal stick calibration first. On Android a transmitter connects over USB with an OTG cable, over BLE Bluetooth, or over a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi joystick using ELRS or TBS. On iOS the Wi-Fi joystick is the route they document, because Bat Cave Games state the operating system will not take an FPV transmitter over USB or Bluetooth; the only Bluetooth path they publish for iPhone and iPad is a DIY ESP32-C3 module of their own that sits in a JR bay. The Wi-Fi joystick setup is where mobile users report the most trouble.

04Multiplayer

Live racing on regional servers: 10 racing within a session of up to 32 connected, raised from 7 in December 2024, and the manual still carries the older figure. Nemesis races over 50,000 recorded flights. The mobile apps have no live racing at all, only Nemesis against recorded flights, and those leaderboards carry desktop and mobile times together in both directions. The Combat pack adds deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag, king of the hill and soccer.

05Track library

50 sceneries counted on the vendor's own scenery page in September 2026, across the base licence and the premium packs together, with new ones added through 2025 and 2026. Over 1,000 tracks are included and more than 40,000 are available to download, every one community built, in an editor with over 2,000 objects. RotorHazard, the open race-timing system, can drive tournaments in the simulator over its websocket.

06Drone customisation

No parts-level builder: you pick from about 100 prebuilt models. Each carries 15 settings on desktop and the same 15 on mobile, including three drag axes, propeller size, power, profile and prop wash, quad weight, camera angle and battery simulation. Motor kv is simulated but not exposed, and the Betaflight dialog covers PIDs, rates and throttle curve without gyro or notch filters. Nothing exports to a real flight controller.

Windows

7, 8, 10 or 11, 64-bit, with DirectX 11 and Shader Model 5. Bat Cave Games warn that an unmaintained Windows 7 or 8 may not reach the servers the simulator needs.

macOS

Metal and OpenGL, High Sierra or later

Linux

OpenGL. Bat Cave Games recommend Ubuntu or Mint

Android

No minimum is available. Bat Cave Games publish none, and Google Play no longer prints a minimum Android version for any app. The rows above are the desktop sheet.

iOS

15.0 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 15.0 on iPad. The App Store lists the download at 958.1 MB and marks the app as designed for iPad and not verified for macOS.
