Purchased this game and controller to begin my journey with drones, at first it was good and all to learn basic , BUT then I bought real drone and oh boy how it feels and flies different. so basically you can play this game for a first 20-40 hours to learn how to fly and then you must transfer to real drone as using this game just starts to damage your real drone flying skills .

If you're about to drop money on a real FPV quad, do yourself a favor and put your hours in here first. 41 hours in and I'm still in the early phase of learning, but the difference this sim has made for my muscle memory is huge — the stick inputs, throttle management, and just getting comfortable with the disorientation of flying in acro are all things you can grind out here without crashing (and rebuilding) an actual drone every five minutes.

Physics feel really good and the lobbies are fun to meet new people and discuss while flying.
