Evaluation

FPV Labs entered Steam Early Access on May 27, 2026, developed by a two-person team of real FPV drone pilots. The game is explicitly unfinished and in active development. Since launch, the developers have shipped four updates in quick succession: an initial patch on May 29, 2026, two more patches on May 31 and June 1, 2026, and a significant physics and input system overhaul on June 12, 2026 that the developers described as "one of the biggest updates for FPV Labs so far." That June 12 update introduced 240 Hz physics simulation and laid what the developers called "the foundation for future physics improvements." Early patch notes also reference features still marked as Beta and user-configurable key mappings as something that "will change in the future," indicating ongoing development work. The developers have been consistently communicative and responsive since launch, with no signs of slowing down.

About this game

FPV Labs is built around one idea: Transfer.

Hours in the simulator should improve your real flights.


We’re a two-person team of FPV pilots who fly every week.
We didn’t want another arcade drone game.

We wanted a simulator that truly feels like flying a real drone in the real world.

So we started building FPV Labs.

FPV Labs is your virtual spot, your training ground, and the place where simulator time actually counts.

The Most Detailed Drone Configurator in Any FPV Sim

Every aspect that affects your quad’s flight behavior can be adjusted.

Frame size. Motor KV. Prop size. Weight. Camera angle. PID tuning. Rates.
Dial in your exact real-life setup or experiment with builds you’ve never tried before.

Just want to fly?
Pick one of the included ready-to-fly presets and hit the throttle.

Want to go deep? Fine-tune every detail until it behaves exactly like your real quad.
The configurator is there when you want it and invisible when you don’t.

  •  Build, save, and switch between unlimited drone presets

  • Adjust physics parameters in real time. Even mid-flight.

  • Share your setups with the community through Community Presets

  • Intuitive UI designed for pilots, not engineers

Community Presets

Found the perfect setup? Share it.

Looking for something new? Download it.

Community Presets let you exchange drone configurations with one click.

Try builds from experienced freestyle pilots.
Load a beginner-friendly setup.
Share your competition configuration.



FPV Labs grows with its pilots.

Physics That Feel Right

From the very beginning, our goal was to create a simulator that doesn't just look good,  but feels right.
Every flight should bring the same intensity as flying your real quad at a real spot.


  • Real PID controller system – sharp, responsive, true to life

  • Accurate propwash and turbulence simulation

  • Realistic crash and impact behavior

  • Wind simulation that affects your lines

  • Foliage collision – trees and bushes react to your quad

All of this is built around one idea: Transfer.

Time in the simulator should improve your real flights.

Handcrafted Maps Inspired by Real FPV Spots

Every map captures the atmosphere of a real FPV spot. Handcrafted, packed with lines, gaps, and freestyle opportunities.

Two maps at Early Access launch:

  • Chemical Plant Bando
    An abandoned industrial environment packed with tight gaps, massive buildings, and freestyle flow.

  • Costa Roja

    A fictional coastal region inspired by the Canary Islands, featuring abandoned ruins, rugged mountains and vast pine forests. Perfect for freestyle, long range and cinematic flights

  • More maps are planned after release, shaped by what the community wants to fly.

More Features

  • Dynamic lighting with multiple time-of-day conditions

  • Realistic FPV goggle OSD

  • Advanced sound design

  • Controller support for real RC transmitters (recommended)

  • Singleplayer at launch, multiplayer is on our roadmap
