UAS Flight Simulator Operates With USB Game Controller

Cobb UAS has announced the pending launch of new drone flight simulator software that can be controlled with a common USB game controller.

The official launch date for the droneSim Pro UAS Flight Simulator is planned for November 15, 2015. Designed and built by Cobb UAS and Little Arms Studios, droneSim Pro is based on the real world physics of drone flight.

The simulator features three flight scenarios (open field, obstacle course, house fire), a high-end 3D graphic engine, drone and pilot views, realistic environment and lighting conditions, and real geological terrain, among others.

droneSim Pro is Windows and Mac compatible, and unlike other drone simulators, does not require a drone be present to run.

In addition, and in keeping with FAA guidelines of safe drone operation, droneSim Pro features visual warnings should the drone go beyond visual line-of-sight (VLOS) or above 400 feet. The company says that no other product on the market offers this unique safety feature.

“Considering the rapidly growing market and the endless possibilities for drone usage, especially in commercial drone flight, safety must be a priority”, says Jason Hershcopf, President of Cobb UAS. “Whether you’re a novice or veteran drone pilot, practicing your flight skills in the safe world of our new simulator will drastically reduce the risk of drone damage, or harm to property or people.”
