🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia. Real-Earth coordinates 3.140°, 101.689°, population 1,448,000. The busiest sky in the country — monuments to circle, other pilots in the air and the city's own tower frequency on the radio. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.

🛩 Where to fly a drone in Malaysia →
What you can do here
- Fly Kuala Lumpur in an FPV drone or as a gull, from 3.140°, 101.689° — keyboard and mouse, a gamepad, or a real RC transmitter over USB.
- Check the weather first: live wind, gusts and cloud over the city, plus the month-by-month flyable-days table above.
- Watch real traffic — aircraft overhead and ships on the water come from live ADS-B and AIS feeds, not from a script.
- Meet other pilots in the same sky: city chat room, radio, and the walkie-talkie frequency for Kuala Lumpur.
