Hey ken, I've been doing some exercises trying to develop my coordination and muscle memory. Then it started getting colder out and I remembered seeing this video a while ago. Came back to watch it today and decided to download it so I can keep my skills up when the weather is frightful outside. I'm trying to learn to be able to fly in a straight line while rotating the aircraft all the way around. So far it's extremely challenging... Thanks for being such a great resource for all different kinds of drone stuff!

So getting this "NEW GAME" for these not so pleasant days we are now having up here in the north. Thanx Ken!!!!

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

The “simulator” option that was in the Go app was NOT this. This is a very interesting separate program. But you have to pay a premium for all that inspection stuff and models. I am wondering what other controller they will support because they didn’t list anything older than a Phantom 4 and the M2 Enterprise wasn’t listed either.

[@Dronesdynamic]

This is amazing Ken....

[@bigmoike2833]

I believe the Enterprise version costs more than $1K. It's definitely for the drone schools and serious business owners - not us mear hobbyists. Let us know, Ken...

[@TheDavidAshby]

$1350, yes.

[@flyineyeaerialfpv5592]

Wow. Thats why its set up that way. In order to actually have someone spend that much you need to have a sales representative prepared right then and there once they drop the amount it will cost. Most people would see it as a way overpriced video game but as mentioned it is aimed at and intended for drone schools and serious business owners

[@Snapshott1]

Unlucky me I have a Mac and a Mavic Pro. Guess it's not apple-cable to me.

[@DoomerONE]

On a Mac you could do the Windows 2nd partition install and have both operating systems. If I am not mistaken I do believe I saw videos of people using the remote with Mavic Pro remotes. So with a little tinkering you can run this as well.

[@MRGJHW]

That's right! If you install the free and included Mac program called "BootCamp" that comes with your system, you can then install any normal version of Windows. Bootcamp does all the hard work setting up your hardware and software to run Windows. And it's actually easier and faster to install Windows on your Mac than a PC! (FYI: Macs actually run Unix under the hood). However, Ken was right in saying that you need a higher end computer to run this baby. So just like on a PC, the better hardware - the better the performance. Good luck!

I remember with my phantom 3 and 4 back when it came out this was a regular free app that it came with it. It was really nice.

[@GrayHughesInvestigates]

hello. When I install that exe file should I see something in device manager. I still don't seem to be able to connect my mavic 2 pro controller which is part of the current flight simulator

[@KenHeron]

Odd. Make sure the controller is on, and reboot the computer.

[@GrayHughesInvestigates]

so reboot while the controller is on? when I install that file you mention I see that it apparently is installing but under device manager there is no PORT section where the drivers should be. I am using the usb to usb at the bottom as the top one only charges when plugged into the computer.

[@GrayHughesInvestigates]

when I plug my drone into the computer and then turn it on using either of the two ports on the controller I don't get the windows sound that a usb device has been connected. I am very frustrated at this point.

[@SuperMouseDV]

When I first heard about this simulator I immediately downloaded it and could not get it to work so I gave up then I seen this video and found out why it didn’t work your suggestion of using that USB installer did the trick now I am flying simulation on my Mac thanks to you so Ken keep up the good work and thank you.

How'd you get to run on your Mac? Did you have to install Windoze OS with Parallels or Boot Camp?

[@SuperMouseDV]

@@BruceChristianson Sorry Bruce about the Late response. But I am using Parallels Wish I would have used Boot camp instead as I have all kinds of issues with Parallels. Love it need to use it more just have too much life to deal with to get to it. Hopefully soon when all the littoral dust settles Ill be back on it. Maybe do some Recordings. But its nice to see it works great on my 2015 5k iMac without any glitches (once I get past the off and on issues with Parallels. Mainly hooking up to my wifi)But seriously this works amazing with my Phantom 4 pro controller and the best part My drone can sit silently in a box and not need to be running to use the old hard to use built in Dimulator (sorry the old one made me feel dumb watching a tiny screen that was a depiction of where I would be standing and it going off into the distance not a simulation of what the drone sees)

Does not work with spark controller but you can use an Xbox controller with limited functions. If you are using an Xbox controller one thing to note is when you bring the analogue stick in to start up it doesn't always recognise the gesture. So us the keyboard if you need too. Keys are A,S,left arrow key and down arrow key all at the same time. Hope this helps

Jeez. Why am I just seeing this?? Great orbit tutorial. I was able to pull one tonight....a clean one too @ken heron

[@JerryCalverley]

I have to try it out!

[@KenHeron]

I think the kids could really benefit from using this!

[@JamesMerle-qi3uz]

It would also be great to have such for the Mavic 3 Enterprise!!!

[@asmafarhanshakoor]

The starting was so funny

[@dragonstyneenterprises5344]

Oh no! Another toy to play with. Seriously though, the ability to use your controller is genius. Thanks again Ken.

[@KenHeron]

Have fun my friend!🤓👍

[@joefuller3467]

You can also use on your ipad or any tablet when connected to your controller .......if you dont have a "beefy" computer Ken you should do a video using the simulator that way to

[@ronniesmith7540]

I have a mavic air 2 and the controller is not listed in the simulator! What a bummer! I was hoping to learn to fly and enjoy the Simulator as it's in the 100's here it Texas.

Great video Ken, thanks! Do you know if the DJI Simulator will be available for iOS or Mac OS?

[@KenHeron]

[@KenHeron]

GFlad you enjoyed the video! (The sim won't work on a Mac though.)

[@superbholidays3520]

Hi Ken. I missed that important bit in the DJI website. That’s weird as all DJI apps are loaded on my Apple ..... do they have plans to develop or release the simulator for. iOS op systems .. it makes no sense to not do so.
