Aircrasher DCS Exhibition Cup
This year, one of four drone races of the DCS Exhibition Cup is happening at LEVEL UP. We are looking for the best pilots, who will be celebrated. Beginners and interested people are also welcome to dive into the world of Drone Racing.
Drone Championships, Drone Racing and FPV Racing? What's that?
The Quadcopter Racing, aka Drone Racing, is also called FPV Racing. "FPV" stands for „First Person View“. The drones are equipped with cameras, which send their images directly to VR sets of the pilots. During the race, the pilots don't watch the drones from the outside but navigate the little racers as if they were sitting inside the drone. The drones have to be navigated through a parcours and are usually more agile and manouverable than non-racing drones.
