Pioneer Drone Sim is a realistic FPV simulator designed to master and improve piloting skills, taking photos and videos without the risk of damaging the drone.
2024: Flight Simulator Test Launch
The Geoskan group of companies is launching open testing of a first-person flight simulator for educational quadcopters of the Geoskan Pioneer line. Until September 30, 2024, anyone will be able to train in piloting skills in the Pioneer Drone Sim program. Geoskan announced this on August 30, 2024.
The software presents two quadrocopters: Geoscan Pioneer Basic (with FPV module) and Geoscan Pioneer FPV. The first is suitable for teaching the basics of piloting, and the second is suitable for practicing tricks and new records on race tracks. The realism of the simulator is achieved through physics, repeating the parameters of drones of the Geoscan Pioneer line, and the use of a physical model of light propagation in space, which is used to draw flight locations. Users can choose territories, race tracks, flight missions, as well as time of day and weather conditions (wind, fog, rain). It is controlled by a controller or a compatible radio.
Three flight modes are available in the simulator. The Acro (Acrobatic) is characterized by fully manual control without stabilization and is suitable for racing, trick-taking and maneuvering. In Angle, piloting occurs smoothly due to stabilization along the horizon with limited inclination angles, this mode is provided for training novice BVS operators. PosHold (FullStab) provides stable flight without the need for constant adjustments by holding the drone position and altitude, it is designed to perform accurate maneuvers and shooting from a given position.
 | In the future, it is planned to improve the product, providing users with more opportunities to realize creative potential. For example, it will be possible to assemble its configurations of quadcopters with a payload compatible with the Geoskan Pioneer line, conduct online competitions, and create your own tracks. The feedback that we will receive as a result of testing will help add other interesting, demanded functions to the next updates, - said Arseny Afanasenko, head of the software development department at Geoskan Group. |  |
Pioneer Drone Sim is compatible with the following operating systems: Windows 10, 11; Ubuntu 20.04.6, x64; Astra Linux SE 1.7.5, x64.
Recommended technical requirements for installing the simulator: minimum - CPU i3 12100, 16Gb RAM, Nvidia 1650; medium - CPU i5/Ryzen 5, 16Gb RAM, Nvidia 1650; optimal - CPU i7, RTX2060/Radeon 5699M.
