This was very frustrating to use. Forced signup, odd controls, no help... I just closed the tab.

Kind of a waste of so much coding effort to turn off half your audience with a forced sign up and such a weird message like "guest play has been deprecated".

Thanks for the feedback! Op here. I'm here to help! Please see below for the signup requirement. For controls, do you use gamepad? Or keyboard or an RC radio controller? It's recommended to use a professional radio controller or gamepad to fly.

Could someone fix the title to include that this is a "drone" flight simulator?

geo-fs.com is another browser based flight simulator (for normal planes).

This one is amazing! No login, free to play, many options and even multiplayer. Took me a while to figure out that it's mouse controlled. Good fun non the less.

Tried it, does not react to any conventional keypresses, I am just flying to nowhere. What a pity, seemed to be fun.

I happen to have a radio controller which I use to fly air planes. This actually flies pretty good! Hoping it could be free though.

Login required....

Thanks for the feedback! Op here. I'll definitely consider adding the guest access back. Login is requried to be able to save all of your preferences on the server. Also compared to other simulator that requires a 5Gb of download and signup, this is much lower bar?

Luckily it doesn't do any email validation so you could just enter junk to access it.
