FPV Freerider Recharged Demo

RC cars and planes are pretty popular nowadays, especially since we now have new types of light and durable materials to build them. On the other hand, it takes a while to learn how to control them properly, and you can still break them if you are not careful. Thankfully, you can enjoy your hobby in a virtual environment without worrying about damaging your equipment.

FPV Freerider Recharged is a simulator that allows you to have fun with light and speedy quadcopters, as well as explore a variety of maps full of challenging obstacles and jaw-dropping views. The most important aspect is the simulation itself, because it’s supposedly pretty close to the real thing, especially when it comes to controls and the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

If you are not familiar with quadcopters and RC flying machines in general, then you’ll probably have a hard time getting acquainted with the mechanics and the controls. The game outright tells you that a keyboard is not recommended at all, which means that you need a controller at the very least. The best option would be an actual RC controller, although casual players probably won’t have one of those lying around.

You can either follow the quadcopter from a distance using the line of sight camera, or you can enjoy a first-person view and be a lot closer to the action. Once again, both angles are seemingly impossible on a keyboard, mainly because every direction change is sudden and quite dizzying. Unfortunately, even with a controller things can get boring, mainly because there’s not much you can do other than fly around and try to beat some race times.

Thankfully, at least the graphics are gorgeous, especially when it comes to level design and the post-processing effects. Each map features different kind of terrain and environments, which is why it’s such a blast to explore them at maximum speed. You might need a pretty strong PC in order to enjoy the graphics at full quality, but it’s definitely worth it.

All things considered, FPV Freerider Recharged probably won’t appeal to everyone, especially since you need dedicated controllers to fully enjoy it. However, if you are already a quadcopter owner, then this could be the perfect way to practice without breaking anything in the process.
