This site (blog) is designed to help beginners who don’t know anything about drones use a drone FPV simulator called ” GlobeXplore ” to instantly travel around the world and fly around the world online. This page contains testimonials and video footage of the flight.
Since this is a blog post, the content so far is structured as follows. Please read what interests you.

Now that you’ve learned the basics of operating a drone, it’s time to get ready to fly around the world. The first step is to purchase the drone flight simulator GlobeXplore. GlobeXplore is a software that has only recently been released, so it does not advertise extensively. So, as a beginner, I was nervous, but I used the following site as a reference when purchasing. thank you!

However, if you are an amateur like me, there are many things to worry about. For those in the same situation, a more detailed explanation may be helpful. So, I will write down the steps I took. First, the official website (https://hajime-drone.itch.io/globexplore). The site has both English and Japanese notation (as of August 2023). rest assured.

Go to the Purchase paragraph. Since the OS of my PC is Windows 10, I decided to purchase “GlobeXplore 1.3.0 win”, which seems to be the latest version at this point.
(Note) Ver 1.3.4 was released on October 27, 2023. It’s working without any problems. Actually, ver 1.3.3 has a throttle boost function, which makes movement much faster (and easier). Of course ver 1.3.4 has the same performance. Thanks to developer Hajime-san.

The price is “$5.00 USD or more”. Even though the yen is weak, is it less than 750 yen? (1$=150yen) I felt such a price was so cheap, then I decided to purchase it for $15. (just like the reference site.)

Next, click the Download button. The size is 38MB, so it won’t take much time to download.

I decided to make the new folder and put the ZIP file directly under C:\. Actually didn’t think too much.

This is my PC’s folder confiigure.

Double-click the “GlobeXplore.exe” file. In the case of Windows, a warning like this will appear, but click “Details” → “Run”.
