## What Flight Controllers are Supported?

AirSim has built-in flight controller called [simple_flight](simple_flight.md) and it is used by default. You don't need to do anything to use or configure it. AirSim also supports [PX4](px4_setup.md) as another flight controller for advanced users. In the future, we also plan to support [ROSFlight](https://rosflight.org/) and [Hackflight](https://github.com/simondlevy/hackflight).

## Using AirSim Without Flight Controller
Yes, now it's possible to use AirSim without flight controller. Please see the [instructions here](image_apis.md) for how to use so-called "Computer Vision" mode. If you don't need vehicle dynamics, we highly recommend using this mode.
