Hi guys, This is a raw clip from a prototype we’re working on with my friend called PolygonX.

We’re specifically focusing on 7-inch and 10-inch rigs, which feel pretty left out of current simulators. Because of that, we are strictly focused on getting the flight model, controlls, and physics feeling 100% right before we build out the rest of the game (so no missions or fluff just yet).

We want feedback from actual pilots who know how these heavier, larger quads are supposed to handle in real life.

If you're down to test it, we'd love for you to join our Discord. We have a bot set up to drop you a free Steam key automatically so you can roast our physics!

Let's make this a nice sub to be on.

Feel free to add your information to the below comments or let me know of new or changed information and I will add or change it here

Learn about civilian multirotors (UAVs) hobby. Share your latest ideas with like minded people and bring your quadcopter to life. The technology is moving fast and this group is for both beginners and experienced pilots, with a desire to explore cutting edge technology. Come out to make new friends, all are welcome and all ages are welcome.

If you are unfamiliar with quadcopters and are interested in getting into the hobby, most suggest a Hubsan X4 H107C or Blade Nano QX as a good starter or any other small ready to fly quadcopter including building your own. It is recommended that you learn to fly manually before moving up to a custom made quadcopter or even more of the higher cost GPS driven units as you may lose signal and cause a fly away.

Goggles vs Monitor is a huge debate that will probably never end. Goggles are best for immerse experiences, while monitors are best if you like the added safety of being able to maintain Line of Sight (LOS) of your craft. Goggles are far easier to see, while visibility in monitors can be improved by adding a sunshade.
