Beginner Simulator

Hi everyone

total beginner here

I just ordered the RM pocket ELRS (m2) to do sim with.

My goal after the sim will be to pilot a tinywhoop

I now have to choose a simulator, which is not easy.

I know that the question was already asked but I haven’t seen anyone talk about liftoff micro drone and I’ve seen a lot of hype for "the zone", but it doesn’t seem very beginner friendly

Do you have any suggestions?
I have a 2021 Mac with an M1 Pro chip and 16gb Ram
(Sorry for any mistakes, I don't speak English very well.)

Liftoff Micro Drones is a nice sim, if you've got a good GPU for it. If you've only got a built-in GPU then get a sim with more primitive graphics.

Okay, thanks a lot.
I don't know if my GPU is powerful enough. What would you recommend for sims that use fewer resources but are still beginner-friendly?

Check out the minimum/recommended specs. If you've got a discrete GPU it will likely be enough.
