Open Broadcaster Software is one example of a software you could use to record and even stream your desktop (and applications).

There are many other around, like FRAPS for Windows, Camtasia for Mac, SimpleScreenRecorder for Linux and so on...
That's true... maybe the developer will add the feature in the next versions but, really, who cares if you are messing things up in acro mode and suddenly crash into the ground? What good is to switch to Angle mode to save a virtual quad? You'd better learn to fly it safely in acro mode, this way when it comes to the real hardware you will know what to do and your reactions will be faster and more precise. That is the main reason to practice with the simulator. The more you crash the more you learn.
Just my 2 cents.
I hope one of the next update will be a couple of much wider new maps, one with gates and flags (like a stadium map) to practice racing and the other, hopefully big enough, with tall buildings, bridges etc. to practice freestyle.
Thank you anyway for all the effort you put into this simulator, both versions are fantastic!
I don't know if this could apply to your case but that is the way I calibrate my radio in ubuntu:
Regarding new places to fly, I love the maps in both classic and recharged versions but I feel them a bit too small for the power of the simulated quad... I'm practicing freestyle more than racing and I'd love to fly in a wide open area with tall buildings (for diving) and bridges or similar structures (for powerloops) etc... as now I'm flying mainly in "two towers" map in classic and the new "factory" in recharged. I hope in the future to see wider maps with such characteristics, and maybe a larger "car parking" with a wider space to fly like THIS.
Another thing: when doing the "timed race", it would be freaking cool if you could highlight the actual race track on the map using a path of cones! ;)
I think simulators like FPV Freerider are a "must have" tool for anyone willing to enter the hobby the "serious" way... I started as a complete noob in april 2016, never flown a multirotor before, with a toy-grade quadcopter which gave me the basics of flying, but immediately bought a copy of this simulator to be able to fly whenever I wanted to in both stabilized and acro mode. Four months ago my first FPV flight was like THIS and now, four months later, I'm flying my brushed microquad like THIS... I still consider myself an "almost noob" but the progression was made mainly on the simulator. Thank you so much for this awesome piece of software!!! *hands down*
On cleanflight go to the PIDs page, on the right side of the screen you'll find the "rates" (ROLL, PITCH, YAW)... play with those values until you find the good balance. You'll probably need to check out your TX's expos and settings too... usually you'd better set expos in either the flight controller (cleanflight) or the transmitter (whatever you're using)... not both! :)
I think the cheapest option to control the quad with FPV Freerider is the E-Sky 0905A USB simulator, I'm using it and it works without a flaw on both the versions (classic and recharged) and, of course, with many other simulators.
A brand new one goes for like 20 bucks on various sites... if you are going to pay a similar amount (or maybe more), I'd definetely suggest you to buy the 0905A.
Just my 2 cents! ;)
I love this simulator but there are a few things that IMHO would make it a killer-app!
I don't know if any of the following will ever be included in the future updates, but I throw my 2 cents:
