A downloadable game for Windows

FPV drills that tell you if you're actually getting better.

GHOST OPERATOR is not a freestyle simulator. It's a drill trainer: short sessions, deliberate repetition, and numbers that prove whether you improved. Think KovaaK's or Aim Lab — but for drone sticks.

Never flown a drone? Start here.

The FREE ZONE is an open field with no score, no timer and no way to lose. Just you, learning what each stick actually does. A guided mode asks for one movement at a time — climb, turn, go forward, strafe, land — and moves on when you get it.

It's real acro from minute one: let go of the sticks and the drone keeps its tilt. No self-leveling, no altitude hold, no training wheels. That's how real pilots learn, because in a simulator crashing costs nothing. Every crash puts you back on the ground, instantly, ready to take off again.

You will crash a lot at first. That's normal, and that's the point.

Real Betaflight physics

The firmware's exact rates formula. Import your own RC Rate, Super Rate and Expo from the Configurator and fly your curves — the same ones as your quad. Fixed 120 Hz physics. Your muscle memory transfers.

It measures

Every flight records your sticks at 20 Hz. A five-skill radar finds your weakest area and the coach prescribes a training plan with numeric targets. Every debrief compares you against your own 30-day average.

All telemetry stays on your machine, in readable JSON. It's your data.

The drills

  • HOVER HOLD — Hold position inside a cylinder while gusts push you
  • LINE TRACE — Follow a corridor at target speed
  • GATE THREADING — 16 gates, combo scoring, ghost of your best run
  • TAG ACCURACY — Designate static and moving targets
  • IFF — Friend-or-foe ID with asymmetric penalty
  • RECOVERY — Save the quad from degraded states

Five speed classes, from TRAINER (50 km/h) to PROTOTYPE (300 km/h). Grading SS to D, medals, and a daily challenge with one global seed.

Your real radio

RadioMaster, BetaFPV or any radio in USB joystick mode, with a guided calibration wizard that detects your channels. Xbox gamepad works too.

This demo

3 drills, the KILLHOUSE map, classes T1–T2 — and the full FREE ZONE. The complete beta (6 drills, URBAN RUINS, T1–T5, coach and profile) is available on request: alexis.work.quiros@gmail.com

Windows 10/11 64-bit. The build is unsigned: if SmartScreen warns you, click "More info" then "Run anyway".

Made with Godot. No gore and no human figures — abstract symbols and a "when in doubt, don't shoot" doctrine.

GhostOperatorDemo_v0.1.0_win64.zip 34 MB

Install instructions

No installer needed. No extra libraries or runtimes required.

  1. Unzip the file anywhere — don't run the .exe from inside the ZIP.
  2. Plug in your gamepad, or your radio in USB joystick mode, before launching — it's auto-detected. No controller? Keyboard dev mode works too.
  3. Run GhostOperatorDemo_win64.exe

Windows SmartScreen warning

The build is not code-signed (signing certificates are expensive for a solo dev), so Windows will show a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen the first time. It is safe to run:

click "More info" → "Run anyway"

First time flying?

Go to ZONA LIBRE in the main menu. It's an open field with no score and no timer, plus a step-by-step guide — made for people who have never flown a drone.

Requirements

Windows 10/11, 64-bit. Any GPU from the last decade. ~250 MB free space.

Español
