kndnsow/InfiniteDroneFlight

A realistic FPV drone simulator featuring true endless world generation, accurate drone-relative controls, and immersive environmental effects.

Project Name

InfiniteDroneFlight
An open-world FPV drone simulator with unlimited terrain and authentic flight physics.

Description

InfiniteDroneFlight is a web-based First-Person View (FPV) drone simulator built with Three.js and realistic physics. It offers:

• True endless grass field generation with dynamic grass, trees, buildings, and clouds
• Proper drone-relative controls: Roll, Pitch, Yaw mapped to controller axes and always behave according to the drone’s orientation
• Realistic drone physics: gravity, drag, ground effect, wind turbulence, gyroscopic effects
• Configurable world boundaries: set maximum distance and altitude
• Multiple modes:
  • Free Flight: Explore the endless terrain
  • Gate Racing: 3-2-1 countdown, dynamic gate generation, scoring
  • Acrobatic Training: Five distinct aerobatic challenges (Power Loop, Barrel Roll, Split-S, Inverted Flight, High-G Turn) with real-time progress tracking
• Enhanced environment: sky shader, dynamic fog, day-lighting, and shadow mapping
• Debug panel: displays FPS, draw calls, drone velocity, orientation, HID controller input, and more
