Key points about the discontinuation:
- On March 21, 2024, DJI officially discontinued support and maintenance for their Virtual Flight simulator.
- DJI cited a focus on hardware optimization as the reason for discontinuing the simulator.
- Existing users who had already downloaded the app can still access it, but without future updates or support.
- The discontinuation affects DJI FPV and Avata pilots who relied on the simulator for training.
- DJI directed users towards third-party alternatives, such as SRIZFLY, for simulation training needs.
Introducing SRIZFLY: The Official DJI-Recognized Alternative
SRIZFLY has taken the mantle as the only drone simulator brand recognized by DJI. Our development team worked closely with drone flight experts to ensure SRIZFLY accurately replicates the exact flight characteristics of DJI’s popular drone series.
SRIZFLY stands out by being specifically calibrated to match DJI’s proprietary flight controllers and systems, ensuring a seamless transition for users. This calibration means that the muscle memory developed in simulation transfers directly to real-world flying, enhancing user confidence and safety.
With advanced safety features and compatibility with all DJI controllers and accessories, SRIZFLY provides a comprehensive training solution for users of DJI drones. By choosing SRIZFLY, you’re opting for a legitimate and supported training platform.
Why You Need a DJI Flight Simulator Avata Alternative
The shift from GPS drones to FPV flying demands a tool that can simulate real-world conditions without the risk of damaging expensive hardware. As a drone enthusiast, I’ve experienced the thrill of flying GPS-based drones, but the excitement of FPV flying is unparalleled. To master DJI Avata and DJI FPV drones, one must practice manual flight modes, which can be both risky and costly if done directly with physical drones.
A reliable simulator training environment reduces the learning curve dramatically, allowing users to develop muscle memory and flight instincts. Many users report that simulator practice was essential before they felt confident enough to fly in manual or acro modes. With DJI’s official simulator no longer supported, pilots need a replacement that accurately models DJI’s unique flight characteristics and controller responses.
SRIZFLY fills this gap by providing a dedicated training environment where users can safely practice advanced maneuvers and test flight limits without financial consequences, making it an ideal alternative for those looking to master manual flight modes.
Key Features of SRIZFLY Drone Simulator
The SRIZFLY Drone Simulator offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to enhance your drone flying experience. Our simulator is designed with the user in mind, providing an intuitive interface that allows you to master drone flying with ease.
Some of the key features include:
- SRIZFLY features physics-based flight modeling that precisely replicates the weight, thrust, and aerodynamic properties of DJI drones, ensuring that skills transfer directly to real-world flying.
- Our simulator includes detailed virtual replicas of DJI’s controller layouts, allowing users to build muscle memory with the exact button configurations they’ll use with their physical devices.
- The app incorporates progressive learning modules that gradually introduce complex maneuvers, helping you advance from basic hovering to advanced freestyle tricks at your own pace.
- Safety features include virtual boundary systems that mirror DJI’s GEO zones and height restrictions, teaching you to respect these limitations before flying your actual devices.
- SRIZFLY offers customizable weather conditions, allowing pilots to practice in challenging environments like wind, rain, and low visibility before encountering these situations with their real drones.
