Remote Reaper: FPV Drone

Remote Reaper: FPV Drone is a combat drone simulator set in a modern war. You operate an FPV drone, locate targets, assess the situation and attack. Its flight behavior and operating conditions are developed in collaboration with active pilots.

Combat and electronic warfare

You face armored vehicles and transports with different levels of protection and add-on screens, infantry in positions, and air targets. Each calls for a different approach and warhead: tanks require a precise hit on the right spot, while unarmored vehicles and groups of enemies are better suited to high-explosive fragmentation. To intercept a helicopter, you must pursue it in the air with a light drone.

Vehicles have weak spots, and armor affects the result of an attack. A precise hit in the right zone can destroy a vehicle outright; a miscalculated hit wastes the drone. Enemy electronic warfare can disrupt both the video and control channels, including cutting the control link in the final seconds of a run. Different enemy jamming patterns affect these channels, while terrain and obstacles between the ground station and drone weaken the link.

Build your drone

In the drone editor, you choose the frame, motors, propellers, camera, antenna and warhead for each mission. Available warheads include shaped charges, high-explosive fragmentation and explosively formed penetrators. You can mount two motors per arm in a coaxial setup for more thrust, but heavier builds use more charge, so you need to account for flight time. Builds are saved as presets you can select with one click.

• 7-inch and 10-inch frames, each with its own motors and propellers
• Warheads for different target types
• Coaxial motor mounting
• One-click preset builds

Flight conditions and controls

Rain and fog reduce visibility, gusting wind pushes the drone off course, and the time of day changes the light and how the ground appears. A target that is easy to see in daylight can be difficult to approach at dusk or in fog.

You can fly with a radio controller, gamepad or keyboard. Realistic mode uses full physics with a radio controller or gamepad. Simple mode uses keyboard and mouse, holds the drone's altitude and includes a speed boost.

Co-op and mission editor

You can join other pilots in online combat missions, coordinate approaches, divide targets and cover one another's strikes. You can also join a mission already in progress. The built-in mission editor lets you create combat scenarios by placing targets, setting up enemy defenses and electronic warfare, and shaping the battlefield.
