Master throttle, yaw, pitch and roll on a real 120 Hz physics engine. Fly FPV, race gates, freestyle the skyline — land it like you mean it.
Most drone apps fake the flight. Drone Horizon simulates it — four independent motors, real thrust and drag, a battery that actually sags, and damage that remembers how hard you hit the wall.
Tap the on-screen sticks, plug in an Xbox or MFi controller, or connect a real DJI RC-N1 / RC-N1C remote over USB — Drone Horizon reads it the same way a real flight controller would.
Build a named custom profile with your own axis mapping, deadzone, expo and sensitivity, or start with Mode 2, the layout most pilots already fly.
Every mode is a real setting on the same flight controller, not a different game bolted on the side.
Self-leveling attitude control with gentle rates and a relaxed camera. You still fly the throttle and the line — the drone just holds its own tilt.
Full rate-based control tuned per mode, with camera FOV built for stick-and-rudder flying rather than sightseeing.
Acro with the bare physical model — no leveling, no altitude hold, nothing standing between you and the aircraft.
Leveling blends into rate control the further you push the stick: level off at rest, flip at full deflection.
Cine, Normal and Sport presets with velocity-based control and position hold, for smooth, camera-drone flying.
Harbor City is a full coastline — rooftops, bridges, a working harbor and streets low enough to clip a mirror. Neon City trades daylight for a glowing night circuit built for laps.
Every wall, gap and rooftop in Harbor City is a real collider. Freestyle mode tunes Acro for tricks — the line is yours to find.
Three timed laps through ordered gates, a live split, and a course that punishes a bad line.
Add professional FPV racing gates in wide, progressive or tight sizing, with LED strips and next-gate markers guiding the way.
The H5 Apex isn’t the H5 Strata wearing a different skin — it’s a different mass, a different thrust curve, a different feel in your hands. Every gram and every newton is modeled, and it shows the moment you take off.
Balanced acro response built for smooth tricks, not raw speed.
The fleet's highest thrust-to-weight — built to win gate to gate.
Light and forgiving, at home in tight, close-proximity lines.
Stable at range, built for covering the whole map.
| Aircraft | Class | Mass | Peak thrust / motor | Thrust-to-weight | Max RPM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H5 Strata | 5″ Freestyle | 0.64 kg | 15.5 N | 9.9:1 | 26,000 rpm |
| H5 Apex | 5″ Racing | 0.54 kg | 17 N | 12.8:1 | 31,000 rpm |
| C25 Orbit | 2.5″ Cinewhoop | 0.28 kg | 3.6 N | 5.2:1 | 38,000 rpm |
| L7 Nomad | 7″ Long-Range | 1.08 kg | 18 N | 6.8:1 | 18,000 rpm |
Underneath the hangar, a rate controller compares requested and actual rotation using real PID and feedforward terms, mixing torque across each aircraft’s own motor layout at 120 Hz. Battery voltage sags under load, crash damage is based on real impact velocity, and Advanced Flight Tuning exposes the rate curves, PID gains and a blackbox flight-data logger to whoever wants to dig in.
Yes. Each aircraft is a rigid body with four independently modeled motors, real differential thrust and reaction torque, quadratic drag, motor spool lag and battery voltage sag, running at 120 Hz — the same update rate a real flight controller uses.
Yes. Drone Horizon supports the DJI RC-N1 and RC-N1C remote controllers over USB, alongside native Android gamepads and on-screen touch controls.
Yes. Drone Racing times three laps through ordered gates, with optional professional FPV racing gates in wide, progressive or tight sizing and separate personal bests.
Beginner (Angle), Freestyle and Racing (Acro), Sim (unassisted Acro), Horizon (blended leveling), and a DJI-style assisted mode with Cine, Normal and Sport presets.
No. Drone Horizon is a fully offline single-player simulator — no account, no always-online requirement.
