Which Liftoff should I buy? and How to connet MC2 to the PC

[adolfo melilli]

Hello, I was suggested to use Liftoff to keep practicing with ny DJI Avata and Motion controller 2, I don't intend to fly in ACRO mode for the time being, I just want to use the Motion Controller 2 at home without the need to go out of town in an open field to keep training..Now I have 2 questions:

1: Which Liftoff should i buy, Microdrones? what wxactly?
2: How can the Motion Controller 2 be used on a PC? Can it be connected via the USB Port?

Thanks for all....

Hi

If you primarily want to fly in large open spaces, then Liftoff: FPV is the better choice. Liftoff: Micro Drones is currently focused on indoor spaces, and slower flying drones.

The Motion controller should work if you plug it in through USB indeed. Do please note that the controller probably needs to paired first to the drone before it will work over USB. The DJI FPV controller has the same limitation.

As a final note: the DJI Motion controller's input is heavily post-processed on the drone itself. Liftoff does not offer this post-processing of input on its side, so the controls will be 'raw' and not entirely representative of how it will fly and feel if you fly your real drone.

Thanks for your directions.. unfortunately I can't get the Motion controller to get to work, as I connect it to an USB port on the PC, with liftoff runnung, it starts being charged (i can see it by the LED sequence), no matter if it's ON or OFF, no matter if i paired it to the Avata or Mini3 Pro prior to connect... any suggestion? thanks...
P,S, I will try with the dji FPV RC and let you know....

Please also check this support page with regards to connecting controllers to Liftoff. Perhaps you still need to disable Steam input: https://www.liftoff-game.com/support?topic=3&category=1&post=101

And don't forget to calibrate the controller as well. There's no default configuration provided by Liftoff.
