Video: a flight in Tunis — old town streets, scan by Andrii Shramko, CC BY 4.0, recorded in the simulator. Fly this scene: Tunis — old town streets
01New: places to fly
Every walkable scan on SuperSplat is now a place to fly: 1,300+ and growing
Real rooms, gardens, streets and churches, scanned by people around the world and published with walls you crash into. Let the simulator pick, change places on every crash, or bring your own scan.
1,300+ real places
The SuperSplat tab in the simulator lists every public scan with walls, with superspl.at's own sorting, filters and search.
A new place after every crash
Star the scans you like, switch on “Next scene after a crash”, and every crash drops you somewhere else, in random order: your favourites, the places you have flown or Andrii's picks.
Switch in a second
N: next scene, Shift+N: random, Shift+F: next favourite. The page does not reload and your radio stays connected.
Your own scan, or anyone's
Publish a scan on SuperSplat, or take any public one, and paste its link here or in the simulator.
Fly a random location
One of the 200 best-liked walkable scans on SuperSplat, picked at random.
Video: a flight in Winter Garden — Jastrzębia Góra, Poland, scan by Andrii Shramko, CC BY 4.0, recorded in the simulator. Fly this scene: Winter Garden — Jastrzębia Góra, Poland
02New: scene scale
Shrink yourself: fly a room like a city
Two keys scale the whole scene around the drone, from ×0.25 to ×100. At ×100 you are the size of a mosquito: a chair is a tower block, the gap under the bed a canyon. Dive along a chair leg — it is an awesome feeling.
- a scan that came out too big
- ×0.25
- true size
- ×1
- a room becomes a hall
- ×10
- a mosquito in a city
- ×100
- Open a room: Andrii's villa, the winter garden or any indoor scan.
- Hold ] to grow the scene ([ shrinks it, Shift+] doubles it at once), or drag Scene size in the pause menu. Each scan keeps its own scale.
- The walls grow with it, so you still crash into the chair leg you dive past.
Macro scans work too: a plant, a toy or an insect is a small real object, so scale it up from ×3 to ×10 and fly it like a big building, among the leaves or around a fly. Such scenes can start already enlarged, and [ and ] change the size at any moment. The other way round, shrink a city (down to ×0.25) so it feels like a model, and fly it with a micro whoop.
Shrink yourself: fly a room like a city
Opens the room in Andrii's villa; press ] until the table is a bridge.

03Inside the simulator
See what is already built
Every picture on this page is a real screenshot of the live simulator: 39 of them, taken on October 2, 2026 by a script in the repository, so they can be taken again after every release.
Radio & calibration
Plug in an EdgeTX radio and a drawn radio walks you through it: stick by stick, then the switch you arm with, then a check of every channel before you fly. Each step waits until you really move the stick.
- Throttle found
- Each stick is found by moving it: the wizard names the channel, offers Reverse and moves on when the stick is back.
- Check before flying
- Every channel with a live bar and buttons to reverse or redo it, the arm state, and the profile to download or load.
Controls & flight modes
Angle self-levelling by default for everyone; the chip on screen, M or a switch on your radio picks Horizon or Acro. No radio at hand? The keyboard shows every key it uses, touch sticks appear on a touch screen, and a gamepad connects through the browser (not tested on real hardware yet).
- Flight mode
- Angle by default; the chip, M or a switch on your radio picks Acro, Angle or Horizon.
- Touch sticks
- Two pads and an ARM button; on touch the quad flies self-levelling (ANGLE).
Drone & tuning
BetaFPV-class whoops, a 5-inch freestyle and a 5-inch race quad and an X8 cinelifter with a cinema camera, and every number on their cards says where it comes from. Paste a Betaflight CLI diff to fly with your own rates and PID.
- Drones
- Drone presets with a rate curve each; every number says where it comes from: manufacturer, measured or estimate.
- Betaflight import
- Paste a CLI diff and its rates and PID fly the quad; every setting the simulator does not use is listed (here a test diff).
Gravity, crashes & respawn
Hit a wall and the quad crashes at the speed it hit, the wreck tumbling with debris; two seconds later it is back in the air, 5 s back along your path and still armed. Crashes off, the delay and where you come back sit in Settings.
- Automatic respawn
- The toast counts down; 2 s after the crash the drone is back 5 s along its path, still armed. Enter stays, R goes to the start, N and F load another scene.
- Crash on a phone
- Impact speed, debris and the crash panel on a small screen.
Camera, view & video
An OSD like in your goggles, field of view and camera uptilt. F9 records 60 fps video of Andrii's scans with their credit in the picture, auto-record catches every flight into your folder, and a flight log becomes a 60 fps video up to 4K.
- Tunis old town
- The flight view on Andrii's Tunis scan: arm state and flight mode, battery voltage and flight time, throttle, speed, altitude and the keys.
- Recording
- F9 records 60 fps video of Andrii's scans; Auto records every flight into the folder you choose, and the bar says what was saved where.
Scenes & SuperSplat
Pick one of 1,300+ walkable scans in the SuperSplat tab with its own filters, one of Andrii's, or paste a link, and watch it load with real numbers. N, Shift+N and Shift+F change the scene in the page with the radio still connected; [ and ] scale the scene from ×0.25 to ×100.
- SuperSplat tab
- superspl.at's catalogue in the picker with its sorting, time, walls and download filters, search, Random top-rated and a star for favourites.
- Scene size
- [ and ] scale the scan around the drone from 0.25× to 100×: fix a scan not in true metres, or shrink yourself and fly a room like a city. Kept for each scan; the walls' block size follows.
Walls & voxel grid
Show the walls you crash into as a voxel grid over the scan, or fly the grid alone. A noisy scan? Drop its floating specks, the phantom walls, with a live preview, or switch the walls off for every scene.
- Voxel grid over the scan
- The walls you crash into, drawn over Andrii's Tunis scan in height colours: V switches between off, over the scan and voxels only; the chip names the style and the voxel size.
- Floating pieces dropped
- Modlinek Villa with the pieces of its walls under 64 blocks removed: 44 phantom walls gone, for this scan only; the walls menu says what was dropped.
Settings, stats & flight data
Every setting on one screen, kept between visits, with export, import and reset. Disarm and a goggles-style card shows the flight; pause and the summary panel has its stats, every menu item and every key.
- Settings
- Every setting on one screen, by group and with search; here Crashes & respawn: crashes, threshold, automatic respawn, delay, where and how far back, the invisible platform.
- Flight stats
- Disarm after a flight and a card like the goggles OSD shows air time, top speed and altitude, distance, battery, current, mAh used, G-force and average throttle.

05Every screen
All the menus, one by one
Every screen of the pause menu, the calibration wizard, the voxel grid, crashes, cinema mode and the phone layout. Each menu is shown as itself; open any picture to see the whole screen.
Summary panel — Pause shows this flight's stats beside the session and all-time ones, the scene size, saving as video, every menu item and every key. Settings — Every setting on one screen, by group and with search; here Crashes & respawn: crashes, threshold, automatic respawn, delay, where and how far back, the invisible platform. Flight stats — Disarm after a flight and a card like the goggles OSD shows air time, top speed and altitude, distance, battery, current, mAh used, G-force and average throttle. Flight mode — Angle by default; the chip, M or a switch on your radio picks Acro, Angle or Horizon. Scene size — [ and ] scale the scan around the drone from 0.25× to 100×: fix a scan not in true metres, or shrink yourself and fly a room like a city. Kept for each scan; the walls' block size follows. Drones — Drone presets with a rate curve each; every number says where it comes from: manufacturer, measured or estimate. Calibration: stir the sticks — The drawn radio shows what to do, and the channel bars follow the reports (here a simulated EdgeTX radio). Throttle found — Each stick is found by moving it: the wizard names the channel, offers Reverse and moves on when the stick is back. Arm switch — Flip the switch you arm with ON and back OFF, pick its channel, or skip the step and arm with Space. Check before flying — Every channel with a live bar and buttons to reverse or redo it, the arm state, and the profile to download or load. Controls — A radio over USB (EdgeTX), a gamepad, touch sticks or the keyboard, each with a one-line hint. Ready to arm — Disarmed with a radio, a card lists what arming still needs: sticks let go, throttle down, the arm switch. Keyboard — Every key on screen: click to fly, the mouse looks and turns, W A S D move, Space up, Shift down, F full screen, Esc pause. Automatic respawn — The toast counts down; 2 s after the crash the drone is back 5 s along its path, still armed. Enter stays, R goes to the start, N and F load another scene. Walls on or off — The walls line on the credit opens the walls menu: the walls (collisions) switch, the voxel grid and the stored walls. Here the walls are off (C): the drone flies through everything, no crashes. Voxel grid over the scan — The walls you crash into, drawn over Andrii's Tunis scan in height colours: V switches between off, over the scan and voxels only; the chip names the style and the voxel size. Wireframe grid — The Winter Garden's 3.2 cm walls as a wireframe over the scan: see where a wall really is before you fly the line. Voxels only — The scan hidden and only its 5 cm walls left, as solid cubes (Modlinek Villa): fly the grid alone and see every surface you can hit. Floaters in red — Pieces of the grid that touch nothing else and are smaller than 0.5 m³ turn red, so a phantom wall in the plants stands out. Floating pieces dropped — Modlinek Villa with the pieces of its walls under 64 blocks removed: 44 phantom walls gone, for this scan only; the walls menu says what was dropped. Betaflight import — Paste a CLI diff and its rates and PID fly the quad; every setting the simulator does not use is listed (here a test diff). Measurements — Renderer, display refresh, frame times, physics rate, load time, the walls in use and a tunnelling self-test, copyable as JSON. Replays — A saved flight plays again from its stick inputs alone; its trajectory exports as CSV or JSON. Choose a scan — Andrii's scans, recent and favourite ones, filters for walls, type and flown, or a pasted SuperSplat link. SuperSplat tab — superspl.at's catalogue in the picker with its sorting, time, walls and download filters, search, Random top-rated and a star for favourites. Loading — What is downloading, megabytes done and in total, the speed, and the scan and its walls counted apart. Crash — With automatic respawn off, or after Enter: the impact speed, the wreck with debris, then rewind 5 s, back to the start, a 10-second replay, the flight log or another scene. Recording — F9 records 60 fps video of Andrii's scans; Auto records every flight into the folder you choose, and the bar says what was saved where. Video from the flight log — The flight rendered again from its log as 60 fps video at 1080p, 1440p or 4K, frame by frame; Cancel leaves no file. Cinema mode — Full detail, automatic quality off, no HUD; Record saves an MP4 with the scan's credit in the picture. Tunis old town — The flight view on Andrii's Tunis scan: arm state and flight mode, battery voltage and flight time, throttle, speed, altitude and the keys. Modlinek Villa — A 2.2-inch cinewhoop in a real attic room; the scan's credit and its walls line sit at the bottom left. Winter Garden — Glass roof, plants and furniture, with the walls SuperSplat publishes for this scan: 3.2 cm voxels you really crash into. Phone-sized screen — The same flight view in portrait, 390 pixels wide. Touch sticks — Two pads and an ARM button; on touch the quad flies self-levelling (ANGLE). Summary on a phone — Scene size, video, the main stats and the menu in one scrolling panel. Crash on a phone — Impact speed, debris and the crash panel on a small screen. Scans on a phone — Paste a link or pick a scan on a small screen. Settings on a phone — The groups fold on a small screen; the last one keeps your settings in the browser and exports, imports or resets them.
06How it works
Three steps from a scan to the air
No account, no download. The scene streams straight from SuperSplat into your browser.
01
Pick a scan
Pick one of 1,300+ walkable scans in the simulator's SuperSplat tab, one of Andrii's, or paste the link to any public SuperSplat scene.
02
Connect your controls
Plug in an EdgeTX radio in USB joystick mode (WebHID), use a gamepad, or fly with touch sticks.
03
Calibrate, arm, fly
Move the sticks once to calibrate, arm with the throttle all the way down — like a real quad — and go.
07Why it feels real
A quad that behaves like the one in your hands
An own flight model — four motors, a mixer and a rate PID — flying inside the real geometry of the scan.
Walls are solid
Every physics tick sweeps the drone's body against the scan's voxel collision data, so a fast quad can't slip through a thin wall between frames.
Crashes are crashes
Hit something hard and the quad tumbles and throws debris. Brush a wall gently and it slides along it.
Your rates, Betaflight's formulas
Betaflight, Actual, KISS and Raceflight rate curves match Betaflight 4.5.1's own code with 0 error at 1880 points, both computed in double precision (in float32 they differ by at most 0.00063 °/s).
Replays you can trust
Flights are recorded as stick input and replay deterministically: the same inputs always give the same flight.
Gravity is a setting
Earth, Moon, Mars or zero-g. On the Moon the same drone gets extremely twitchy — the “keep thrust-to-weight” switch tames it.

Flight
Flight modeDefaultAngle (self-levelling)Options3Keyboard shortcuts: M
Angle levels the drone when you let go of the sticks; Horizon levels it too but flips at full stick; Acro holds the attitude, like a freestyle quad. M or the mode chip switches it; a mode switch set on your radio's check screen decides instead.
- Acro (rate mode)
- Angle (self-levelling) (Default)
- Horizon (levels, flips allowed)
flight.modeOpen in the simulator
Angle limitPer droneAdvancedDefault60°Range10–85°
How far the drone tilts in angle mode at full stick: more tilt, more speed. Betaflight's angle_limit (60° by default).
level.angleLimitDegOpen in the simulator
Angle strengthPer droneAdvancedDefault50Range0–200
How firmly angle mode levels the drone and follows the stick: higher is snappier. Betaflight's angle strength (angle_p_gain, 50 by default): at 100 the drone reaches half the stick's tilt in about 70 ms instead of 100.
level.strengthOpen in the simulator
Horizon strengthPer droneAdvancedDefault75Range0–200
How firmly horizon mode levels the drone near the stick centre: higher levels harder. Betaflight's horizon level strength (75 by default).
level.horizonStrengthOpen in the simulator
Crashes & respawn
CrashesDefaultOn
Off: hitting a wall only bounces the drone off, the motors keep spinning. On: a hard hit is a crash.
crash.enabledOpen in the simulator
Crash thresholdPer droneDefault4 m/sfrom the drone presetRange2–10 m/s
Impact speed above which a hit counts as a crash; slower touches slide along the wall.

Stable frame ↔ detailAdvancedDefault1Range0–1
Moves the render resolution and detail budget. Physics always runs at 1000 Hz.
display.qualityOpen in the simulator
RenderDefaultAuto (this device's preset)Options3
How the scan is drawn. Auto: your device's preset (the line under this row says which one was picked), normally the classic sorted drawing, which is smooth and keeps the scan's detail; the site's owner can change the presets. Stochastic skips sorting the splats and averages a noisy picture over the frames (SuperSplat's own renderer): when the camera is still it settles to the sorted picture within a few seconds, but in flight, in rooms, it is visibly noisier and softer than Sorted. On a strong GPU it is not faster in practice, and at 4K it needs more video memory. Sorted is the classic, smooth drawing. A link with ?stochastic (or ?stochastic=0) is obeyed when a scene opens; a choice made here while flying wins for that scene. Stochastic needs WebGPU in a desktop browser. Recording and the video export always draw sorted.
- Auto (this device's preset) (Default)
- Stochastic (SuperSplat)
- Sorted (classic)
display.drawingOpen in the simulator
Splat budgetDefaultAuto (link, scene or preset)Options7
How many million splats the scan may draw at most. Auto takes the link's ?budget=, the scene owner's choice, or this device's preset (see the Render row). A link's ?budget= is obeyed when a scene opens; a choice made here while flying wins for that scene. More splats are sharper and slower; the quality governor still lowers it when frames are missed. Set it to what your device can do: it counts on a phone and a tablet too, up as well as down (a link's or a scene's number does not).
- Auto (link, scene or preset) (Default)
- 1 million splats
- 2 million splats
- 4 million splats
- 8 million splats
- 16 million splats
- 32 million splats
display.budgetOpen in the simulator
Device classDefaultAuto (recognised from this browser)Options5
Which kind of device the site's drawing presets treat this as. Auto recognises it from the browser (the graphics adapter, memory, processor cores, touch screen and screen size); name the class yourself when the guess is wrong, for example a laptop that should draw like a strong desktop. The class sets the preset that Auto in Render and Splat budget stands for: the drawing, the splat budget and the resolution. You can still set Render and Splat budget by hand.

- Mode 1
- Mode 2 (Default)
input.stickMode
How touch and keyboard flyDefaultEasy play (game keys)Options2
Easy play: no arming (the first key or touch starts the motors). On a keyboard it flies like a game: click to capture the mouse, move the mouse to turn and to look up and down, W A S D to move, Space up, Shift down, and when you let go the drone stops and hovers in place. On a touch screen: sticks with altitude help and a pilot school. Pilot: as a radio — the ARM button or Space, a throttle that stays where you leave it, Mode 2 keys (W/S throttle, A/D yaw, arrows pitch and roll). A radio or a gamepad always flies as a radio.
- Easy play (game keys) (Default)
- Pilot (as a radio)
input.playOpen in the simulator
Altitude help (touch)DefaultOn
The drone holds its height by itself; up and down (the left stick on a touch screen) climb and sink at a steady speed. Works in angle mode only: horizon and acro can flip, and there your throttle flies. Step 1 of the pilot school. The game keys on a keyboard always hold the height.
input.altitudeHelpOpen in the simulator
Vibrate on a crashDefaultOn
A short buzz when you crash with the touch sticks, on phones that allow it (most Android phones; not iPhone).
input.hapticsOpen in the simulator
Mouse sensitivity (game keys)Default1×Range0.25–3×
How far the drone turns and the camera tilts for a movement of the mouse. 1 is 0.1 degrees for each pixel of movement. Works with the game keys, while the mouse is captured (click on the view).
input.mouseSensitivityOpen in the simulator
Invert the mouse up and downDefaultOff
Off: moving the mouse away from you looks up, as in most games. On: it looks down, like a flight stick pulled back.

Flight speed (game keys)DefaultNormalOptions3
How fast W A S D and Space / Shift fly: slow 4 m/s across and 3 m/s up, normal 8 and 5, fast 14 and 8. A small drone cannot always reach the fast speed: it flies as fast as its tilt and the air allow.

Drone & physics
DroneDefaultBetaFPV Pavo20 Pro class, 3SOptions9
One of the presets: BetaFPV-class whoops, a 5-inch freestyle and a 5-inch race quad, an X8 cinelifter with a cinema camera; every number on its card says where it comes from. Each drone keeps its own settings.
- BetaFPV Pavo20 Pro class, 3S (Default)

- iFlight Mach R5 Sport class, 6S
- iFlight Taurus X8 class with a RED Komodo, 6S
drone.current
Camera loadPer droneDefaultRED KOMODO 6K rigOptions4
What the cinelifter carries under its frame. iFlight sells the Taurus X8 without a camera and allows up to 3 kg; the motors stay the same, so the weight, thrust-to-weight and hover throttle change with the camera. Chosen on the drone picker's 3D view; the other drones ignore it.
- RED KOMODO 6K rig (Default)
- Blackmagic BMPCC 6K Pro rig
- GoPro HERO13 Black

Thrust on other worldsDefaultReal (same motors)Options3
Same motors (honest), the thrust-to-weight you have on Earth, or auto throttle that hovers at stick centre.
- Real (same motors) (Default)
- Keep thrust / weight
- Auto throttle (stick centre hovers)
physics.gravityModeOpen in the simulator
Thrust-to-weightPer droneAdvancedDefault5from the drone presetRange2–16
Maximum thrust divided by weight; the preset takes it from the manufacturer or an estimate.

Scales the spin inertia of the props: more inertia softens throttle and turns.
physics.propInertiaOpen in the simulator
Prop washPer droneAdvancedDefault1×Range0–2×
How much thrust the drone loses, and how much it shakes, while it sinks into its own downwash (catching a dive or a fast drop). 1 = the preset, 0 = off. The whoops have no prop wash in the simulator.

WindDefaultThe scan's windOptions4
Moving air, as outdoors: it pushes the drone and carries it along, blows harder higher above the ground, and comes in gusts. The scan's wind is the one its author or the admin set for the place; live is the real wind there right now (scans with a known location); custom is your own wind for this scan.

Noisy scans have floating specks that become invisible walls the drone crashes into. Every piece of the walls smaller than this many blocks (a block is 4×4×4 voxels) is removed, for this scan only. 0 keeps everything; the voxel grid shows what is left.
scene.dropFloatersOpen in the simulator
Ignore collisions abovePer sceneDefaultThe scan's heightOptions3
Outdoor scans often have specks floating in the sky that turn into invisible walls. Above this height nothing counts as a wall. The scan's height is the one its admin set; custom is yours, set in a panel that shows it on the scan.

14Risks & safety
What can go wrong
Short and honest, so nothing catches you by surprise.
Scene data can change without notice
Scenes load from SuperSplat's public but undocumented CDN. It can change at any time, and some scenes may stop loading.
Some scans come without collision data
For those, the simulator can build walls right in your browser with SuperSplat’s own tool (up to 4 million Gaussians, about 25 seconds for a 2.1-million scan on a desktop GPU). Bigger scans stay fly-through.
Motion sickness
Crashes and fast flight can make you queasy, so take breaks. Measured over 50 crashes, effects flash at most 2 times per second, under the WCAG limit of 3; your reduced-motion setting is respected (not tested yet).
A simulator is not a real flight
Practise responsibly, follow your local drone law and never fly over people.
Your data stays with you
Calibration, flight history and favourites are stored only in your browser.
15FAQ
Questions people ask
How can I fly an FPV drone through a 3D Gaussian Splatting scan?
Open ShramkoGSFPV in desktop Chrome or Edge, pick a scan (1,300+ with walls in the SuperSplat tab, one of Andrii's or a pasted SuperSplat link), connect a radio, a gamepad or touch sticks, then calibrate, arm and fly. There is nothing to install.
Can I use my RadioMaster radio in the browser?
That is what it is built for: switch an EdgeTX radio such as the TX16S, Boxer, Pocket or Zorro to USB joystick mode and connect it over WebHID in Chrome or Edge. So far this has been tested only in Chrome with a simulated EdgeTX radio, not with real hardware or in Edge.
Is there a free FPV simulator that runs in the browser?
Yes. ShramkoGSFPV is free and open source under the MIT license. It runs on WebGPU in desktop Chrome or Edge, with no download.
Which SuperSplat scenes can I fly?
Any public SuperSplat scene, by link or id; the simulator's SuperSplat tab lists the 1,300+ published with walls, with superspl.at's own filters. Those have solid walls at once; for the others you can build walls in your browser with one click (scans up to 4 million Gaussians). Bigger scans can be flown through but not crashed into.
Does it work on iPad or phone?
Touch sticks have been tested only in desktop Chrome's touch emulation, not in Safari, on iPad or in Android browsers yet, and you need a browser with WebGPU. Radios need desktop Chrome or Edge.
Is the flight physics like Betaflight?
The rate curves (Betaflight, Actual, KISS, Raceflight) match Betaflight 4.5.1's own code with 0 error at 1880 points when both are computed in double precision, and a rate PID drives four motors through a mixer. It is our own flight model, not Betaflight firmware.
Do I crash into walls or fly through them?
On scenes with collision data you crash: the drone's body is swept against the voxel data on every physics tick, and a test harness checks that fast flight cannot tunnel through walls. See Live numbers for the result.
Is it open source?
Yes, MIT. Code, measurements and design decisions are on GitHub. Betaflight's formulas were re-implemented; no GPL code was copied.
Can the simulator take me to a new place after every crash?
Yes. Random top-rated in the SuperSplat tab opens a scan you have not seen, Shift+N loads a random scene in flight, and with “Next scene after a crash” switched on every crash takes you to another scene: from Andrii's picks, your favourites or the scenes you have flown, in random or fixed order. The radio stays connected.
Can I fly a room as if it were a city?
Yes. Scene size scales the whole scan around the drone from ×0.25 to ×100 with [ and ] (Shift+] doubles it) or in the pause menu. At ×100 a chair is the size of a tower block and you can dive along its legs; the walls scale with the scene, so you still crash into them. The scale is kept for each scan.
Can I fly my own 3D scan?
Yes. Publish it on SuperSplat (superspl.at) and paste its link or id on this page or in the simulator. Published with walls (voxel collision data), it is solid at once; without them you can build walls in the browser for scans up to 4 million Gaussians.
Can I help make a simulator drone fly like my real one, or ask for a new drone?
Yes. The drones are built from published numbers and estimates: BetaFPV-class whoops, an iFlight Nazgul Evoque F5 class 5-inch freestyle quad, a Mach R5 Sport class 5-inch race quad and a Taurus X8 class cinelifter carrying a RED Komodo. If you fly one of them for real and it feels different, press Help tune it in the drone picker or in Settings and send your Betaflight diff all, a link to a blackbox log and a few words; Andrii fits the drone to it. The same form asks for a drone that is not in the list.
