The Drone Racing League Simulator

not working online, so most features simply unavailable

Servers are shut down, and the game is unplayable. It took me longer than 2 hours to download and play, hopefully I can help you save your money.

Note that the online servers are now closed down, so this means quiet a few elements of the game are unavailable, this is not just racing against others but also tracks and parts of the training so don't get the entire game, there are work arounds but be aware when you fire the game up it will never connect online and you will see a number of things greyed out, use your 2 hours wisely to assess if there is enough there for you.

recently discontinued servers making a lot of important features like custom drones and maps not work.

the games servers are not running anymore

The servers being down seems to mean my tutorial progress isn't saving and some aspects of it won't load like the races that are part of it. I only got this in addition to LiftOff for the longer tutorial.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ company, closed servers and bricked the game

It's a good symbol, but the server is off-line so you know

This _was_ one of the best sims for _initially_ learning to fly, and to fly acro, and the balloon popping game was fantastic for learning to fly precisely without any time pressure (slow is smooth; smooth is fast). It was never the best racing sim for _already_ reasonably competent pilots, but it _was_ passable, and I did keep coming back to it periodically, for the variety, and to rerun tracks that I remembered in passing. The graphics were decent, but seemed to make unnecessarily inefficient use of resources, so I needed to turn down the quality and/or resolution noticeably farther than I should have to get ~60 FPS on mid-range hardware (especially compared to Liftoff or Uncrashed). Sadly, the company ran into financial troubles and was sold off, and the game servers have been shut down, so now all the (many) player-made maps, and some other functionality is just gone. Feels bad, man.
