Training for DJI FPV

[Rudinie]

I'd like to try to get some experience with FPV before i completely destroy a real FPV. I have no experience with real FPV flying but i have flown quite a bit with DJI Mavic's. Would love to get my hands on a new DJI FPV.
What kind of drone should i choose in this game that will handle the most like that DJI?

I wonder the same thing. Don't really want to have to rely on DJI's sim to practice.

From what it looks like though, the new DJI FPV is the perfect option (albeit costly) to have a mid-point from Mavics to real acro flight. I do worry however that it might introduce some bad habits with the nanny's. Having 2 different "manual" modes (first one doesn't let the drone flip) is another "step", that could end up helpful or bad habit producing.

I get mine tomorrow, haven't touched this sim in a long time, and still have never flown a real FPV drone. So I'm excited and a bit stressed lol.

I'm more or less in the same situation, but i haven't ordered my DJI FPV yet. The sim looks good from what i've seen online in reviews. The panic recover button might be the feature that can help you out in a massive money saving way i think. Would love to hear your first experience.

Well if you want to fly a normal DJI drone like a mavic i guess the drone you choose in the sim doesnt matter, just go into level mode instead of acro. If you want to learn acro you can also just take any drone, and adjust the camera angle for slower flight speed. but a mavic like drone (altitude hold) isnt in the game

In my opinion being a beginner myself i crashed a couple of times when trying acro for the first time and i am glad i didnt have the new dji dorne because it cant really handle crashes as well as a normal carbon frame so i would highly suggest to get good at flying acro in the sim before using it on your dji drone

Out of curiosity, is it possible to use the DJI FPV Controller with Liftoff?

Just tried it, it works perfectly well. :)

Hey Raz, are you running liftoff on mac or windows? I am trying to connect the FPV’s remote on a mac but can’t get it to work. Dji’s virtual flight simulator is only working on IOS and I bought liftoff as an alternative.

Like the poster above, I'd also appreciate some info on how you connected the DJI controller? If I connect it to my Windows 10 PC with the standard charging cable, I can for example update the controller firmware in the DJI Assistant program, but the controller isn't recognized as a joystick in Liftoff.

Make sure "generic controllers" is turning OFF in Steam Preferences. I dont use a DJI controller but a Radiomaster TX16S and before that a QX7 this is what fixed it on my mac. I also had to update my opentx but that doesnt apply to you.

I was able to use the new DJI FPV remote in Liftoff on my Mac after installing the "DJI Assistant 2 (DJI FPV Series)" package.

[Tiax]

I'm using it on Windows 10 indeed, I can confirm that 'Generic Gamepad Configuration Setting' is OFF in my Steam Setting and that DJI Assistant 2 (DJI FPV Series) is installed.

The DJI Controller appears as a simple "HID Interface" in the game controllers settings (both in Win10 and in LiftOff)

I just picked up this game and plugged in the DJI controller for the first time. I recognizes the controller but not the sticks. So, you have to calibrate the DJI controller in game, and follow the on screen instructions.

After that it was able to recognize the controller inputs.

However, in order for this to work, you have to plug in the controller via USB, and then turn on the controller (tap then hold the power button to turn the controller on). Just plugging it in does not mean the controller's. Turn it on first, and the game will say something like HD Input recognized or something like that, then you calibrate it.

I've been prcticing using the DJI drone simulator and now LiftOff, never flown an FPV drone before. So far I've stopped crashing during liftoff (pun intended) and i can do flips. Friday is my launch day, as its going to be nice weather.

I wish everyone luck!

Any clue on making the camera look digital and not analog ingame?

There's a hotkey to disable this, can't remember which one but you can find it in the settings.
