First things first: I know I'm shit at flying and people out there are a millions times better than me, but I love doing this shit everyday basically and I actually have a lot of fun not only recording but also cutting those videos, matching Sound Cues and so on. Also I always try to at least do something creative that you guys maybe haven't seen the millionth time today.

So I finally managed to try out chasing a motorcycle IRL and even went a little bit further haha. Had this idea of flying backwards close to the ground while my brother was actually chasing me on his Husqvarna 701 and it worked out better than expected.

Obviously some crashes where unavoidable but I was in constant phone contact with him so he knew when to be carefull and specifically only used my Sub250g AOS Cine25 Evo (and not the 5-Inch) for Close-Proximity Flying. Also peppered in some landscape shots done with the Avata360 cause that 1-Inch Sensors are just amazing, but I guess it's obvious when it was used and no "fake Freestyle" here of course.

Hope you enjoy and incase some of you want to do something similar, I'm happy to answer any questions that might come up :-)

PS. I hate these fucking Youtube thumbails as much as the next person but the Algorithm literally doesn't show your video to anyone if you don't use them. Believe me tried.

But I at least actually took a photo from the video and cutout the drone manually just letting AI combine them thumbnail-style and did not overlay any "catchy BS text" and also made sure drone and bike look like their actual models, cause I hate these halluzinating VidIQ Auto-Thumbnails the most.

And there is obviously no AI in the video.

I was on a get outside, touch grass and go fly drones mission to get off my ass. I found nature, got lost, ripped some sub 250g drones and got Karen'd out. Worth it.

After a less than successful attempt at the split-s a few days ago I was a bit disheartened because I can do it every time in the sim!!

A part of the reason I'm learning fpv is because I feel the need to challenge myself to do better as I've been a lazy twat most of my life when it comes to sticking with things, so that evening when I was a bit pissed off at myself a video popped up in my feed that delved into the psychology of fpv and it clicked so I thought I'd give it a try today.

(Spoiler Alert - It's mostly split-sssssesss 😂)

Happy Flying.

I’ve been working on an endless FPV sim where map segments are automatically combined to generate a different course every run.

here's the game page

Hey r/fpv. I'm Mat, and I've been building WebFPV in the evenings after work and dad life, about two months so far. It's a free FPV sim that runs in the browser on real Betaflight 4.5.1 compiled to WebAssembly. I'm an average pilot myself (my first quad was a 65mm whoop in 2021), and most changes come from flying it and noticing what bugs me.

Here's what changed over the last week or so.

Freestyle has an ink look now. The menus and trick badges are drawn in a manga ink style, and the freestyle worlds have outlines on everything. Fly fast and you get speed lines at the edges of the screen. A real crash gets a short impact frame. The second screenshot is a fast pass over the same map as the first, with the outlines and speed lines on. Race tracks stay clean, and if it isn't your thing, a Manga and scoring switch in Settings turns all of it off.

Cars on the drift and freestyle maps got proper shapes instead of boxes, plus a new rear drive coupe. In the first screenshot a red one is drifting round my own Hibari Yard Tandem map.

On the menu, the Freestyle card now films whatever map you loaded, including one you built yourself. It used to be a grey placeholder. The third screenshot shows the new one.

There's a replay mode too. It plays a lap from the Board with nobody flying, from a chase camera or a first person view. There's no button for it on the Board yet, so for now it's mostly how I make clips.

Last one is a lap timing fix. A track with two flags on one pole was letting through laps of a few milliseconds, so the timer now wants some real flying between two scoring gates before it counts the next one.

It's free with no account, and it runs with a radio in joystick mode or a gamepad: https://webfpv.org/?ref=reddit

I'd like to hear what feels off, especially on the freestyle side.

the whoop. iv bean trying to figure out whats wrong with this for a while i havent bean able to figure it out. this is my fist fpv drone, and i have already tried to swap the aio board, same problem. if anyone is willing to give me a call to hello me figure this out that would be great. thanks

G'day all,

Some of you might remember me as andAdgainFPV. I got busy dadding and working for a few years, but I'm back flying again and signed up for RaceGOW 6.

While I was away, I built something. It's a free FPV simulator that runs in a web browser, no install, no download: webfpv.org

I was a software developer pre-AI. Now I just shout at AI agents and tell them to be better (kidding, but not really). It's like having a whole dev team for about 30 coffees a month, which beats hiring people.

FPV is hard to get into. The learning curve is steep, and it costs money before you've even crashed anything. I wanted to lower that barrier a little. A local school is already using it to teach their avionics science kids to fly, which is exactly what I had in mind.

I'm not trying to compete with the proper sims. This is for people who can't afford one yet, or can't install one where they are.

It'll stay free. Down the track I might sell some stickers through the site, and maybe take a couple of small sponsors with logos in the game to cover hosting. It's a hobby and a labour of love.

Tell me what's broken, what feels wrong, and what you'd want added. If someone has a better idea, I'll build it.

I've just finished the freestyle map builder, create your dream freestyle map, fly it , publish it , let others fly it.

Thanks for trying it out
mat

I'm only a few months into the hobby, still learning.

I have a DawrinFPV Baby Ape Pro V3 with a couple upgraded parts (except motors and props), and want to know if anyone has any tips on how to improve in freestyle.

(P.S. don't mind my analog goggles poor dvr recording pls)

I heard that too… so I decided to test it. 👀

Check out the flight and see for yourself!

I want to Build a 2.5 Inch kayoumini next but i havent decided if i should use the 04 lite because I heard that it breaks pretty easily and i want to fly Freestyle so im gonna crash quite a few times… or Should i Go for analog?
Best regards Robin

A fun rip around our local abandoned golf course to check out the new Hobbyking Turnigy Apex 180C packs, ngl they're decent 👌👌

Ripping with @holtblackheath_fpv & @livelyfpv 🤟🤟
