FPV RADIO vs. GAME CONTROLLER for FPV Drone Sims

Should you buy an FPV Radio to practice in FPV drone simulators? Or can you just use a game controller and be good at flying FPV drones?

Welcome to the hobby! Good info; many people try and are instantly discouraged...but "the right tool for the right job" and all that👍

[@davidgarcia5127]

Nice video, been using my controller for almost 2 weeks now and i just order a radio control, cant wait to use it!

[@brandon9689]

If you start off on a gamepad, you really need to swap to a radio sooner than later. I tried flying a brand new RTF kit out of the box with a month of solid gamepad experience I was racing at a slow pace without crashing. But my maiden IRL flight with a radio was a disaster. The left stick goes all the way down on my new controller, how hard could it be? It's a completely different muscle memory and I nearly lost my drone on the maiden flight.

Radiomaster pocket!

[@luisocampo3518]

@@user-fo4lu5zr5r does it matter if its 6CH or 8CH one ? Will it work with Velocidrone sim? Thanks in advance!

[@grigmax]

@@luisocampo3518 8 channel one is better in my opinion

[@brandon9689]

Radiomaster pocket, the $50-60 ones don't come with batteries though. You need to buy 2x 18650 batteries. You'll also need a long enough USBC data cable. The one that comes with is a bit too short. I've used it in TRYP/DRL Simulators. Most sims have similar detection, so I'm sure it works in Velocodrone.

Hey what would be your opinion using an FPV controller for a flight simulator such as msfs? I'm currently searching for a compact HOTAS system.

[@NotSoScale]

I haven't tried using fpv controllers for flight sims but I saw some posts on reddit saying that fpv controllers work fine. A dedicated HOTAS system would definitely still be better in the long run if you intend to focus on flight sims. I personally wouldn't get an fpv controller just for flight sims. Hope this helps!

[@justashadow126]

I've set up my black sheep tango 2 for MFS, just to see if it works. I does. I've also set it up to fly helicopters for Squad works really good there

next video....fpv gamepad style controller vs real size tx18s controller - just saying boss

[@NotSoScale]

This is mostly based on one's preference and I don't have a full sized controller for comparison 😁

[@NOT_ANOTHER_FPV]

I started on the game controllers like this...after I finally got the tx18s I can't use anything else. My say in this :)@@NotSoScale

[@6root91]

Can you do the opposite? As in use the fpv radio controller as a game controller for other games?

[@NotSoScale]

I think it's possible but im not sure about how good it would be for different types of games.

[@almaka17]

The problem is these controllers have a big dead zone where it doesn't sense movement

[@EUGENE02A]

what is the name of the simulators

[@NotSoScale]

The sim in the video is DRL Simulator but there are other FPV drone simulators like liftoff and velocidrone.

[@Pro-rh7ji]

Its supposed to cost 8 pounds and 84 cents

[@wachaczz]

Cool but your controller looks like its from the stone age. It would probably work better with a new controller.

[@Vishvesh444]

😂

[@almaka17]

Its the f310 which is still a solid controller you can get brand new for $20 to $30

You mean his gaming controller or the actual drone radio? Cause if you mean game controller - can confirm PS5 controller is no better. Joysticks offer low tier functionality when flying sim
