Most free FiveM drone releases are thin wrappers around a camera spectator mode. This one ships with actual flight physics — throttle, yaw, pitch, and roll all respond smoothly on both keyboard and controller — plus a configurable HUD with compass, battery meter, and flight telemetry. It’s free, fully open source, and handles the two drone types most roleplay servers actually need: a civilian variant and a law enforcement variant with separate capabilities.

Flight Controls and Physics

The flight model is built around smooth axis inputs rather than snappy teleporting. Controllers map naturally to the axes, and keyboard players get the same response curve. Battery life and signal range are both configurable per drone type, so a news station drone can have longer flight time while a police unit gets superior range. Fly past the signal threshold and the drone loses connection — it doesn’t just stop, it drops.

• Two drone types: civilian and law enforcement, with separate range, battery life, and feature sets
• Full controller support alongside keyboard — same flight model for both
• Fivemanage screenshot integration for aerial photography during flight
• Night vision toggle on the law enforcement variant
• Configurable HUD: compass bearing, battery percentage, altitude, and flight data
• Signal-loss and damage mechanics — range limits actually mean something
• Spawn via inventory item or server console command
• Job-type restrictions configurable per drone type
• 100% open source — modify, extend, redistribute freely
• Performance: 0.00ms idle / 0.08ms while actively flying

Framework Compatibility

Compatible with ESX, QBCore, and Qbox. Inventory item triggers work with standard framework item systems; no additional dependencies required for core flight functionality.

Why This Is Worth Using Over Paid Alternatives

The 0.08ms flight cost is competitive with scripts that charge £15–25 for equivalent functionality. Open source means your devs can wire it into your existing job system, dispatch CAD, or screenshot pipeline without waiting on an update. Rated 4.63/5 across real user reviews — the controller support and signal-loss mechanic are the features reviewers call out most.
