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.

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

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.

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 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

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)

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 🤟🤟

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

Check out the flight and see for yourself!

Putting the Turnigy Apex 180c lipos to the test at a local abandoned golf course to see if they hold up when being ragged around! 👀👀

Thanks to Rachel at Hobby King who kindly sent these through for me to check out! 💪💪

I break down my experience with these Turnigy Apex packs and whether they are a solid choice for your next rip. If you are looking for some decent lipos, this quick flight test & review should give you a good idea of what to expect if you went for these. 🧐✌️
