FPV simulator practice 2 hours vs. 8 hours (LiftOff)

Improvements in FPV quad handling over the time. Note that this is still a "work in progress" state, so the presentation of pilot errors are NOT intentional :)
Game: LiftOff (store.steampow...)
Hardware: same as usual
Controller: Xbox One S vs. FlySky FS-i6 with simulator cable

That was an amazing progress for just 8 hours. Although, 8h in a timespan of 5 months? Lol, I put 8h the first two days 😂

[@peters.galerie]

Yeah, maybe that's my secret :D On my Instagram you'll find some more clips @traktor_fpv

[@amirrifqi1772]

CONGRATULATIONS

[@Jensomat]

pretty solid progress. I have only 1 hours experience and have a hard time to keep the drone alive. 😂

[@thefox4944]

Good that i tried this Simulator before flying quadcopter. I had no idea about the controls.

[@thefbi4421]

I love simulators,they can be fun a lot,especially Roblox tycoons

[@ML-fx6xn]

How can you do that in 8 hours 👀 I can't doing nothing!!! 😤

[@peters.galerie]

Are you using a proper transmitter? With that the difference is day and night. I see no point in using e.g. Xbox controllers.

[@ML-fx6xn]

@@peters.galerie yes you are right, I used at the beginning xbox controller, after exactly 2 minutes I stopped. No now I'm using a turnigy 9x. But very difficult to do the laps

[@avatardrones]

Traktor FPV we’ve been using an Xbox controller while we wait to borrow a real transmitter...been playing for around 6 hours and can do a few tricks but controlling the drone in races is terrible. It launches off as soon as the race starts and we can’t seem to get it to go slower! 😂

[@peters.galerie]

@@avatardrones Because the left stick should be pulled down for 0 throttle. Or you change the flight mode to 3D, then middle is 0%.

[@Niedzwiedzfilmuje]

@@peters.galerie my first hour ;D kzbin.info/www/bejne/poW8loKYe7FniJI LOVE FPV ;D

[@jackjohnson5024]

That is great progress

[@peters.galerie]

Thanks! :) I'm preparing the follow up video on this topic. The difference is amazing!

[@fnaticinzane5012]

i dont know why but my drone in ACRO mode is just flying high instead of forwards ... maybe cause i dont have a real controller only a xBox controller...

[@ValFPV]

You have to lean forwards and lower the throttle (center of the stick is half throttle, all the way down is 0 throttle=

[@strapot]

@@ValFPV than how u go 🔝

[@ValFPV]

@@strapot put the throttle stick up

[@jeromechevereau1918]

Hi everyone, I just installed Liftoff, I have a PS4 controller and I have a problem. After correctly calibrating my controller, it works properly in the simulator’s starter tutorials but when I start the game, I can no longer lower my controller to arm the drone. Does anyone have a solution?

[@xlsmafia]

Great video, how did you manage to turn off the white lines form the hud?

[@califpv]

I feel like you have to give way too much throttle in this vs in real life .. is there a way in the game settings to adjust this?

[@peters.galerie]

Honestly I don't remember. But in other simulators like Velocidrone you can adjust the weight of your quad, the motor's power, propeller pitch, gravity, etc.

[@trustyenriquez]

Wow great improvement in only a few hours! I'm also practicing in liftoff and want to record. Where can I find the footage in my computer?

[@choppergirl]

Lol, 2 vs 8 hours. I'm at 1229 hours. I wouldn't of even bothered to make this video until you crossed the 100, 250, or 500 hour mark. Oddly, you would think after 1000, 1200 hours... you couldn't improve any more but that is not the case... I ramped up dramatically in skills the last 100 hours.

[@peters.galerie]

1200hrs? Wow! I've put down LiftOff after about 15 hours and never picked it up again. My choice of simulator today is Velocidrone for the awesome tracks and physics and TinyWhoop GO for all the smaller stuff. Though I don't really play with either of them, but rather go out and fly irl when I can :)

[@choppergirl]

@@peters.galerie Yeah, I started with Velocidrone and learned to turn in it in the subway tunnels. It has some interesting maps but I didn't like it's physic or visuals. Liftoff on Fatnastic settings is the bomb. Like all simulators though, the default settings for your quad are aweful and you have to tweak them. I bought DRL and the graphics and maps were awesome, but again, I didn't like the physics or the racing quad. If they made a freestyle mode and offered you a freestyle quad you could tweak and let you go to any map you choise, instead of unlocking them, I might give it another shot. After a few hours I gave up on it. 1200 sounds like a lot, but if you play 2-3 hours a day as a way to have fun and relax, or wake up... then. Nt a problem. Think how many hours of after school TV ou watched... 2-3 huurs every weekday, it adds up.

[@hiddesdroneshots3272]

Was the upgrade from xbox controller to flysky big? i go made the same upgrade tomorrow

[@peters.galerie]

ABSOLUTELY! The Xbox controller is unusable for fpv.

[@hiddesdroneshots3272]

@@peters.galerie thank you for your answer, im after 1-2 hours absolute noob, i hope that flysky bring change!

[@iAmLawrencee]

Wow i find it hard doing laps 😭 could ypu share your betaflight settings?

[@peters.galerie]

I'm sorry to disappoint, but I fly mostly stock PIDs with rates of around 450 ;)

[@brandondashler9025]

450 rates. That's about all one needs to know.

[@shiftyjesusfish]

how much better was it flying with a real controller with a proper throttle stick? (im currently using an old 360 wireless controller i had while i wait for my jumper t-lite to ship, and its just BRUTAL with the stiff auto center....havent tried the xbox one controllers but it looked like you were having issues with it in the first clips and you seemed so much more stable with the FlySky FS-iA6)

[@peters.galerie]

1000x times better and easier with a proper radio. In the meantime you should switch to 3D mode ( =0 throttle in the midpoint), it's a bit better manageable with an xbox controller that way.

[@shiftyjesusfish]

@@peters.galerie thank you for the tip to make it better. I've still got a week to wait. Glad to hear it, was worried I was just bad. Keep up the practice, drone flying is just pure joy.

[@icem8n]

@@peters.galerie Thanks for this note, makes me feel alittle more confident.

[@Fox45555]

Szia! Te hogyan/mivel kötötted össze a távot a géppel? Én megrendeltem hozzá az rc simulator-os vezetéket, azzal nem müködött...

[@peters.galerie]

Pedig azt használtam anno. Biztos nem az update kábelt küldték? Ugyanúgy néz ki, de az nem megy szimulátorral. Egyébként pár éve már mindegyik rádió sima USB-vel csatlakoztatható.

[@silentjack4446]

Wie heißt so eine vergleichbare map bei velocidrone Sim? Danke

[@peters.galerie]

Hi, vergleichbare Strecken kann ich von Velocidrone nicht nennen, aber zum Anfang könntest du eventuell die beliebte Tracks wie z.B. Split-S, oder Castle Sneznik. Eigentlich machen alle Tracks sehr viel Spaß, man muss nur gucken, ob der Stil der Strecke zu ihm passt.

[@silentjack4446]

[@peters.galerie]

[@scu-dub]

Man I need this I'm new to fpv and if I don't have this I'm gonna turn my quad into a heli lol where are these type of Sims at ? Anyone please hit me up and let me know I appreciate it✌

[@peters.galerie]

Your are best off with Velocidrone. Yeah the graphics are a bit outdated, but the physics engine is marvellous. Then you got DCL (the new guy, focused on racing), DRL (also rather serious sim), LiftOff (IMO the worst of all, but many people relly like it), TinyWhoopGO (FREE and awesome for whoops!), Real Drone Simulator (work in progress), etc, etc...

[@Jimmyfpv_]

I’ve only tried Velocidrone, but it actually is pretty good. After about 25 hours of practice, I got to fly the real one and felt (almost) just like it. I would say that the only thing that is not properly simulated is prop-wash. So I had to re-learn some habits, like flying into my own dirty air. Other than that, is pretty much identical in handling

[@russjan2678]

I have 15 hours bro, I’m sick 😂😂😂

[@yonghuang6002]

great video easy to understanding! genius!

[@cgdonut27]

Bruh that is so slow I could go through that course at top speed with extreme motors and I've only played the game for like 5 hours

[@HeadstockFilms]

My 12 hours looks worse than your 2 hours.

[@peters.galerie]

Just keep practicing, eventually it will become muscle memory ;)

[@HeadstockFilms]

@@peters.galerie Thats the plan, its not easy with an Xbox controller as its very twitchy, but I figured its a good starting ground. And hopefully after about 100 hrs on the sticks I'll find the transition to real FPV goes well. :)

[@peters.galerie]

@@HeadstockFilms Switch to a normal drone radio as soon as possible. Even a 30-40€ controller like the BetaFPV Lite, or Flysky i6 are worlds apart from the Xbox gamepad. Simply because the Xbox game pad zeroes back to the middle and the drone radios (on the throttle axis) don't.
