SITL Forge

Physics-first simulators for real flight controller firmware. Test before you fly.

View on Steam

SITL Forge builds high-fidelity simulation environments for open-source flight controller firmware. Every motor, propeller, and battery is modeled from real bench test data at 1000Hz. We connect directly to real firmware — Betaflight today, INAV and ArduPilot next — so you can validate builds, tune PIDs, and stress-test configurations without risking hardware.

Products
