Today we fly
Paris.
An FPV simulator over a 3D map of the whole planet. Type a city, a landmark or an address, or paste a Google Maps link, and you take off right there, on the rates you always fly.
From the park down the road
to the landmarks of the world.
34 landmarks are one click away, and anywhere else is a search: a place name, coordinates, or a link copied out of Google Maps.

Sightseeing is only the start.
Fly anything from a micro drone of a few dozen grams to a rig of over 3 kg, or tune the numbers and fly a build of your own. Rates, field of view, 3D flight: every kind of drone is in here.
Two kinds of aircraft
A freestyle quad you throw around in Acro, and a GPS camera drone that stops the moment you let go.
Gates you place yourself
Lay a course while you fly it, then race it against your own best time.
Seven skies, any wind
Rain on the lens, fog that eats your line of sight, and gusts as often as you set them.
Your configurator's numbers
Rates, expo, throttle curve and throttle limit use Betaflight's own formulas. Copy them over and they behave the same.
Rip it in Acro, or park it on GPS and shoot.
One key switches between them. Fly in GPS, Angle or Acro mode, and give the FPV quad your own build: weight, KV, cell count and prop.
FPV quad
- Acro, Angle, and 3D mode with reversed props
- 3-inch cinewhoop, 5-inch freestyle, 7-inch long range
- Or enter weight, cells, KV and prop, and fly that exact build
- Prop-wash, ground effect and vortex ring state are modelled
GPS camera drone
- Let go of the sticks and it holds its position
- Gimbal from −90° to +65° and a smooth zoom up to 7.6×, with composition guides on screen
- Three sizes, 200 g, 900 g and 4 kg, and each one flies like its weight
- Waypoint routes and orbits fly themselves while you work the camera
3D mode: flip it and keep flying
- Centre stick is zero thrust; below centre the props spin in reverse
- Hang upside down, fly inverted, and pull out of dives with reverse thrust
- Switch it on from the flight-mode chip at the top of the screen
The course is the line you just flew.
Press B to drop a gate wherever you are. The first one is the start, the last one is the finish. Press N and the clock starts as you cross the start gate. The next gate glows orange, and an arrow points to it when it is off-screen.
Rain beads on the lens. Fog takes your line of sight.
Seven presets, each with its own light, cloud and visibility. Wind is set separately — mean speed, how much stronger it gets with height, turbulence, and how often the gusts come — so you can fly the same conditions as many times as you need.
All eight were taken from the same spot above Tower Bridge; only the preset changed. Turbulence and gusts work in every preset, not only in a storm.
The sun sits where it really would, that day, over that city.
Its position comes from latitude, longitude and date, shown in local time. Pick a December date and London is dark before four; pick June and it is still light after nine. The three frames below are the same camera over Tower Bridge. Only the clock moved.
The same numbers you would type into Betaflight Configurator.
Rates, expo, throttle curve and throttle limit run on Betaflight's own formulas, so values copied from your quad feel the same here. Four screens from the settings panel:
Rates, with your stick on the graph
Actual or Betaflight rates per axis, drawn across the full −100 to +100 % stick range. The dot is where your stick is right now.
Throttle curve and hover point
MID, EXPO and a throttle limit (SCALE or CLIP), as in Betaflight. The graph marks the throttle your quad hovers at and where your stick sits for it.
A custom quad from four numbers
Weight, cell count, KV and prop size, anywhere from a 31 mm whoop to a 10-inch. Overfly works out thrust, hover throttle and top speed.
Every axis, every switch
Assign and invert each axis, zoom included, and calibrate its ends. Switches can respawn you, drop gates, start recording and more, or turn the tilt control into zoom while they are held. Radios that send switches as axes work too.
Checked against real quads.
The reference build is a 5-inch freestyle quad. Thrust, hover throttle, top speed and drag come from thrust-stand tests, flight reviews and published research.
| Terminal velocity, vertical | ≈ 15 m/s |
|---|---|
| Motor response, spin-up / spin-down | 25 ms / 35 ms |
| Angle-mode levelling, from 30° | < 1° after one second, both axes |
| Thrust at half throttle | ≈ 39 % of full (thrust stands measure 37 %) |
| Top speed, 5-inch 6S freestyle | ≈ 165 km/h |
| Local time and altitude | IANA time zones · EGM96 geoid |
What's on the other keys.
Photo and video PV
Stills, and clips with the motor sound, recorded straight from the browser. The map attribution and a small Overfly mark are burned into every frame, so you can post them wherever you like.
Ghost replay KL
Record a run and fly against it. Or switch to the camera drone and film your own FPV line as the subject.
Waypoints and orbit
Mark points as you fly and the camera drone flies the route by itself, while yaw and gimbal stay in your hands. Or pick a subject in the middle of the frame and it circles it, nose in; roll sets direction and speed.
Minimap
Your track, the home point, waypoint routes and orbit circles on a live map in the corner of the screen.
Real elevation, and a ceiling
The HUD shows height above take-off, above the ground below you, and above sea level. Turn on the altitude limit and you hit an invisible ceiling at the legal height — 150 m in Japan, 400 ft in the US — or at any height you choose.
Aerial drill T
Planes, aerobatic planes and boats move through the scene. Keep one framed for 60 seconds and you get a score.

Before you buy
What do I need to run it?
A desktop or laptop with a recent Chrome or Edge and a GPU that handles WebGL 2 — most machines from the last few years do. Phones and tablets work with on-screen sticks, but the screen is small for FPV.
Which controllers work?
Anything the browser sees as a gamepad: FPV radios in USB joystick mode (RadioMaster, BetaFPV, Jumper…), Xbox and PlayStation pads. You assign and invert axes on the start screen and can map switches to actions like recording or mode changes.
Is this Google Earth?
No. Overfly licenses Google's Photorealistic 3D Tiles for the scenery, and every frame keeps the data attribution — including the photos and videos you export. Overfly is an independent product and is not affiliated with Google.
Can I try it before I buy?
No. Overfly streams map data that costs real money on every launch, so there is no free tier. Refunds are available for a limited period after purchase; the conditions are set out in the terms.
Do you collect my data?
There is no account, and the game never asks for your email; Polar needs one at checkout to send your receipt. Your settings live in your own browser. The details are in the privacy policy linked below.
Can I publish my footage?
Yes. Post your photos and videos wherever you like; just leave the map attribution that Overfly burns in untouched.
