Learn to fly a drone in a 3D simulator, then beat a friend's ghost.
Dronelix is a drone flight simulator that helps you learn to fly one exercise at a time. You take off from a training field in 3D, fly with two touch sticks, and after every flight you see the path you flew from above, with one tip about what to fix next.
A flight school for your first flight
Five short lessons, one stick at a time: up and down, turning on the spot, forward and back, sliding sideways, then putting it all together. The stick you need lights up under your thumb, with an arrow that shows which way to push.
Fly against a ghost
Fly an exercise again and your best flight comes along as a see-through drone, so you can see where you pull ahead or fall behind.
Send a flight to a friend. The link opens the same exercise with the same wind, and your ghost flies beside them. If they beat you, they can send it back.
Four exercises, one skill each
Hover in the box: keep the drone inside a small box for ten seconds.
Fly the square: four cones, one height, clean corners.
Orbit the pylon: a full circle with the nose pointed at the pylon.
Precision landing: climb, fly out over the ring and land back on the H.
The goal stays on screen while you fly, and each exercise gives up to three stars. When you want to wander, free flight opens the whole field.
A debrief after every flight
How to fly a drone is easier to learn when you can see what went wrong. The debrief draws your path over the field, shows the numbers that matter for that exercise (time, drift, clean corners, how hard you touched down) and gives one tip about the biggest thing to fix.
Controls made for a phone
Two touch sticks in Mode 2, or Mode 1 if that is how you learned. Altitude hold keeps the drone at its height when you let go of the throttle, so you can work on direction first. Sensitivity and stick curve are yours to tune.
Three ways to watch
Chase view behind the drone. Pilot view from where you stand next to the pad, the way you see a real drone in the park. And an FPV camera view from the drone itself.
Something new every day
The daily challenge picks one exercise with its own wind and target, the same for everyone that day, and keeps your streak. If you like, tap Show me on the leaderboard to compare your best scores under a callsign the app makes up for you.
Studying for a drone licence too?
The exam section covers seven licence exams from five authorities: FAA Part 107 in the United States, EASA A1/A3 and A2 in the European Union, the UK A2 CofC, Transport Canada Basic and Advanced, and CASA in Australia. It has 1,342 original practice questions, each with the rule it comes from and the date it was last checked, plus timed mock exams.
Made for phones
The field adjusts its detail to your phone while you fly, to keep the flight smooth.
Everything in the app is free.
