# Drones

Starting from version R4, Depence is capable of simulating drone shows. For this purpose, we have defined our own Show Stream file format, which can contain a complete drone show. These shows can be placed and played within the Depence timeline. The following manufacturers already support this format:

* Dronisos ([www.dronisos.com](http://www.dronisos.com))
* Celestial Drones ([www.celestial.show](http://www.celestial.show))
* VergeAero ([www.vergeaero.com](http://www.vergeaero.com))
* Skybrush (<https://skybrush.io/>)  - [Documentation](https://doc.collmot.com/public/skybrush-studio-for-blender/latest/panels/safety_and_export/export.html#_export_to_external_fireworks_and_show_visualization_formats)
