(Public Test Build)



Recommended hardware requirements:
4-core CPU, 8GB RAM, DirectX11 compatible graphics card with at least 4GB VRAM, 20GB free space and SSD for fast loading times.

Software environment:

This test build is launching with nearly maximum graphics quality. If you experience low performance, lags, lower FPS than 60 then you can customize the visual effects, graphics quality, vegetation rendering in the RDS Configurator / System menu.
It is also possible to lower the internal resolution in the main menu options.

In some rare cases the Mono framework is not installed on Windows and RDS requires it to properly run.
In case the simulator is not working properly after the Main Menu then please download and install the Mono framework from here

Android v0.8.1.0
(Experimental build)

The Android version is only in Experimental test stage and it can be installed on your device manually.
After downloaded the APK file you should enable installing applications from unknown source.
How to enable this feature

The minimum requirements are the following:
Quad core CPU, GPU with at least OpenGL ES 3 compatibility,
3GB RAM, 2GB Free Space on either internal or external memory.

To get the best performance it is recommended to lower the high screen resolution in RDS main menu / options or in your device Settings by choosing Display & brightness then Screen resolution.
You can see how to change Screen Resoluton on your device on this video guide

Sometimes RDS can crash when loading larger maps. This happens because there's no enough memory (RAM) available on your decive. It is recommended to close all running applications or even to use a free RAM Cleaner application of your choice before running RDS.

Created Custom Maps can be found in File Manager:
Android / data / com.RDS.RealDroneSimulator / files / CustomMaps

You can manually copy / exchange these map files between computer and mobile versions.
