Everything you need to know to start flying FPV through 3D worlds
fpvSplatFly360 is a web-based FPV drone simulator that lets you fly through photorealistic 3D environments captured with Gaussian Splatting technology. Real locations around the world — from Norwegian fjords to Japanese lighthouses — are available to explore.
No downloads, no installations. Just a browser, a gamepad controller, and a passion for flight.
Click Register in the top right corner. Enter your email, a password, and your pilot name. Registration is free and gives you access to free flight scenes.
The world map shows all available flight sites. Green markers are free scenes you can fly immediately. Cyan markers require a coupon code or purchase to unlock.
Connect your remote controller via USB to your computer. It will be recognized as a gamepad. We support Mode 2 controllers (Throttle, Yaw, Pitch, Roll). Popular controllers like Radiomaster TX12/TX16, FrSky Taranis, BetaFPV, and Jumper work out of the box.
Click on a flight site marker, view the details, and click Fly Now! The viewer opens in your browser — no popups, no new tabs.
In the viewer, switch to Fly Mode (click the fly icon in the bottom bar). Arm your drone using Channel 5 on your controller (throttle must be at minimum). Raise the throttle and fly!
| Channel | Control | Stick | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Roll | Right Horizontal | Bank left/right + strafe |
| 2 | Pitch | Right Vertical | Nose up/down + forward/backward |
| 3 | Throttle | Left Vertical | Altitude up/down |
| 4 | Yaw | Left Horizontal | Rotate left/right |
| 5 | ARM Switch | Switch | Arm/Disarm motors |
| 6 | Flight Mode | 3-Pos Switch | ACRO / HORIZON / ANGLE |
Full manual control. Sticks control rotation rate. The drone does NOT auto-level. This is the mode used by experienced FPV pilots for freestyle and racing. Allows full flips and rolls.
A hybrid mode. At small stick deflections, the drone auto-levels like ANGLE mode. At full stick, it allows flips like ACRO. Great for learning acrobatics with a safety net.
Sticks control the tilt angle of the drone (max ~60°). Release the sticks and the drone returns to level. Best for beginners. No flips possible.
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
| Orbit Camera | Free-look around the scene (no flight) |
| Fly Camera | FPV drone flight mode |
| Walk Mode | Ground-level walking (if collision mesh available) |
| AR/VR | Enter Augmented or Virtual Reality mode |
| Info | Keyboard and touch controls reference |
| Settings ⚙️ | Opens the settings panel |
| Fullscreen | Enter fullscreen mode |
The settings panel (⚙️ gear icon) lets you fine-tune your drone's behavior. Changes take effect immediately.
Simulates the physical camera tilt on a real FPV drone. 20-30° is typical for cruising. Higher angles (40-60°) are for fast racing. When the drone tilts forward to fly, the camera angle keeps the horizon visible.
| Setting | What It Does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Center Sensitivity | How fast the drone rotates with small stick movements near center. Higher = more responsive. | 80-100 |
| Max Rate | Maximum rotation speed at full stick deflection (degrees per second). | 670-720 |
| Expo | Curves the stick response. Lower (0.1-0.3) = softer center, precise hovering. Higher (0.5-0.7) = more aggressive, faster flips. | 0.3 |
| Setting | What It Does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Throttle Mid | The throttle position where the drone hovers (no climb, no descent). Typically around 30% on a real drone. | 0.3 (30%) |
| Throttle Expo | Curves the throttle response around the hover point. Lower = finer control near hover. | 0.3 |
| Setting | What It Does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Bounce (Restitution) | How much energy is retained when hitting a surface. 0.3 = gentle bounce. 1.0+ = aggressive bounce like an FPV drone. | 0.8-1.2 |
| Friction | How much the drone slides along surfaces. Lower = slides more, like ice. Higher = grips and stops. | 0.5-0.7 |
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Volume | Master volume of the 4-motor drone sound. The pitch changes with throttle — just like a real drone! |
| Max Distance | Distance at which the drone sound fades to zero. Simulates flying far away. Default: 250m. |
You can fly without a controller using your keyboard:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| W / S | Pitch forward / backward |
| A / D | Roll left / right |
| Q / E | Altitude down / up (Throttle) |
| Arrow Left / Right | Yaw left / right |
| Mouse | Look around |
| 1 / 2 / 3 | Orbit / Fly / Walk mode |
| F | Frame scene |
| R | Reset camera |
| V | Toggle collision overlay |
| H | Help panel |
Some scenes are free and available immediately. Others require unlocking:
Once unlocked, the scene appears in your Pilot Dashboard under "My Scenes".
