First FPV Flights after 130 hours of sim / BetaFPV CetusX

- Here are my first four packs of IRL FPV with the BetaFPV CetusX after 130-ish hours in various FPV sims with a PS4 controller (DRL Sim, FPV Logic, FPV Skydive, Liftoff, Liftoff Micro, Tryp, Uncrashed). ATM I can't connect the Lite Radio 3 to my computer, so the only practice I had with the radio was hovering in my bedroom in Angle mode for about 5mins. Speaking of Angle mode, occasionally I got stuck in it and couldn't figure out why the drone felt different. I've since swapped Angle mode to the top of the rocker switch, so now when all switches are down that is my normal flying acro with air mode. I also put air mode on the turtle mode rocker switch, so air mode is on in the bottom position, off in the middle (in case I need it off), then turtle mode at the top. The day was a little gusty, sometimes you can see it in the trees, 10mph winds, but 20 - 25 mph gusts. Also, some of the DVR footage is not the right aspect ratio, I think because I had started recording before powering on the drone, so there is a bar at the bottom of the image of static, which I cut out. These clips are all with thumbs, not pinching/hybrid yet.
So to conclude, excuses aside, I definitely think I hit a point of diminishing returns on the sims with a PS4 controller. The main factor for me is the difference between the PS4 controller and the radio. The sticks are taller and thinner, completely the opposite to the PS4 controller. I might end up purchasing some stick ends to make them slightly thicker, but for now I've actually started hybrid pinching instead of just thumbing. Hopefully you'll be able to see in my later flights from today (when I upload them), that I'm a bit smoother. I perhaps would have been better on my first flights if I had practiced in the sim with my radio, but like I said I can't connect it atm. I might have to flash the firmware on my radio and my fc so they match and the radio works in the sims, but I want to get some flight time before I brick the drone lol. I've flown two more sessions of four pack since this and will upload them in due course 👍
Let me know what you think ...
