Hone your drone skills with DJI's VR Flight Simulator
Got a drone and worried about crashing? DJI's got you covered with its Virtual Flight app. This app is a drone simulator that links up with your controller and DJI’s head-mounted displays like the DJI Goggles Integra and DJI Goggles 2, giving you a flight experience without the risk of a crash landing.

Here's the scoop: DJI is the big cheese when it comes to drones, and they're all about making sure even new pilots can fly with confidence. With this app, you can get the hang of zooming around at breakneck speeds—all from the comfort and safety of your own home or office.

It's all about getting that practice in, especially with the high-speed DJI FPV drones that can hit speeds of 87mph faster than you can say “lift-off”. According to Mixed Reality News, the app is a breeze to use, simulating your drone’s flight with accuracy, so every minute you spend in virtual mode is honing your skills for the real thing.

Now, let's talk about gear. DJI’s FPV and Avata drones are the ones that come with head-mounted displays (HMDs), so these are the drones you need if you want to fly in VR. The HMDs are super light and comfy for long flights. The Avata even ups the ante with a motion controller that moves the drone just like you move the controller.


While DJI’s drones are user-friendly, mastering those slick moves takes a bit of work. Whether you want to whizz through tight spots or just fly without fear, the virtual Flight app is like your own drone dojo.

The app is a free download and works with a bunch of devices, from your Windows PC, and Android to your iPhone. But heads up, iPhone users – there's a little hiccup with pixelated graphics when using the HMD. Over to the Android side, while you’ll snag a clearer view through the headset, take note that the app isn't on the Play Store – it's an APK file you’ll download directly.

Even if you end up using a monitor, spending some time with the Virtual Flight app could save you a bundle on repairs or replacing a wayward drone. So, whether you’re a drone pro or just starting, DJI’s flight app is your ticket to safe, virtual skies.
