Betaflight SITL lockstep lets you race autonomous drones before official simulators drop.
Strengths
- •Real Betaflight flight controller running in lockstep with physics via MAVLink over UDP
- •Deterministic 6-DOF physics with GPU rendering and multi-rate sensor simulation
- •Clean solver interface matches the actual AI Grand Prix competition contract exactly
Weaknesses
- •Only 3 gates in the course; real competition will have far more complex tracks
- •Requires building Betaflight from source, which may deter casual users
