Uncrashed - The devs of Velocidrone and Liftoff... are total 100 percent dlcks. Boy co tt them. I know, I've had negative interactions with both sets of them... when I tried to recommend a few minor simple 5 minute to implement in the code text color and button color style changes, that would drastically help visually impaired people. Basically, their reply was to the effect of... we made it perfect... just the way we like it... so F off little blind girl.... Literally, for example, in Liftoff, it would have taken them less than 5 minutes to do a search using the search box in their code editor, and change a button text color style from light grey text on white, to black text on white... maybe even bold it, while you are at it. I know, I'm a programmer.
That sounds super frustrating, I totally get why you'd feel that way. Accessibility tweaks like that can make a huge difference. Out of curiosity, what button was it? I'd love to take a look and see what you mean!
@@RaukFPV All the buttons in Liftoff have a thin font in light grey color, on top of a white background. For a visually impaired person, the white background blows out even black text... and makes it invisible. Much like if I took a sharpie and wrote word on a florescent bulb, turned the bulb on, and asked you to try and read the word on the bulb while it was blazing white light out. You would be like... wow... I can't read that at all... and it hurts to even try to. For a visually impaired person, at least for me, the world appeared much as it does to you looking out an iced over frosted car window on a winter day in the morning. You can see out, but you can't see. It's bright and it's blurry. If a person held a stop sign up to the window, you could read it, but as they back away down the street, they would disappear, the stop sign would become a red blur, then a grey blur, and then just blend and blur into everything else until it disappeared. And they wouldn't have to walk far for that to happen... half way to your mail box, for example. Still, I did my best flying while totally blind like this, to a big screen TV 2 feet away. You can watch some of my videos. Lots of guys copy my proximity aerobatic style now :-/ Of course, I explained all of this UI advice in a nice way, with easy ways to fix it... for example, swap the colors around on the buttons... to a black thick white text on a black or dark background... OR... if you want to go out... a tick box in settings somewhere to do just that... or even the whole nine yards... for a dark theme. Everything should have a dark theme, imho, for the visually impaired... it's way more helpful than all that Accessibilty features built into the OS which are practically useless. Dark theme everything (!) Uncrashed does the UI theme right... with a fast, easy to use, Dark Theme. It's also the best flying sim of them all out there, and I have them all and have flown them all. But they didn't have to go that far... just changing their light grey text color to black would have helped... changing it to white and the background to black would have helped even more. Probably just two Hex values in their code...
i get you, and just had a look, and i agree with you, the light thin grey font on the very bright/white background can be difficult to read, even for me normal-ish eyes. (they are not perfect, but close enough) and well, the font is in there, so if they wanted they could at least make a radio button, that sets a font variable to something different, in order to accommodate more people. Its not the first game to do this,. A lot of other games have settings for colorblind and and other impaired settings. as far as i can tell, liftoff is made in unity, and assuming they are using the textmeshpro, even my students can make this setting, in about 30 minuts tops. hope its something they will consider in the future.
@@RaukFPV I told them it's also impossible to read the menus and navigate them, when you use an HDMI to VGA adapter and plug your 480p analog goggles into your computer to "play the sim with the googles experience". At 480p, the thin lines of that thin font disappears. Either blind or at lower resolution, you're basically guessing from memory what buttons do from location... and what radio buttons and slider bars do in dialog boxes from location on screen. I know their interface looks pretty, gorgeous even... that was my thought when I first saw it... but after a while, you begin to realize how incredibly slow the game loads and how terrible the interface is, with so many tree structure levels you have to drill down. Uncrashed is wicked fast, loading and with the menus... it's dark themed, easy to read, and they did everything right. So I'm sure I said at some point look at how Uncrashed does it, they did it all right. Later on Uncrashed added a dialog box when chosing a map to also select from Daytime, Nighttime, or Snow.... which added an extra step and extra dialog box when chosing a map... and I was like.... NOOO! You're messing up the perfect interface! Nobody needs that radio button selection there, you could of buried it in the settings tab under the video display settings. It's a minor thing, but when a company starts going backwards in their design because they feel they need to keep up with the competition, then they start making all kinds of other bad choices by copying the bad design of their competition. I see it on my modern Honda motorcycles, they use to do everything right, and now they copy Harley and do almost everything on the bike... wrong.
i totally get what you're saying, trying to navigate those menus at 480p sounds like a nightmare. which completely defeats the point of having a "goggles experience". gotta say i dont have a lot of experience with simulator in goggles, using dji and all, i havent really found a good and easy way to set it up. hopefully they will reconsider in the future. or at least make it open to modding, so we could change it ourselves.
sure, i would not expect it to fly at all like a avata 2, just keep that in mind. i have two, one for my 5" and one for my 2.5" drone, they fly very different. do you want both, or just one of them?
hey, havent forgotten about you, just trying to figure out how to send the custom drones in Tryp, as the pids them selves wont help much as they are made for the custom drones. do you have discord? i can send you the screenshots of the setup there. i mostly fly my cinewhoopos, as they are more used professionally. and when i do have some time i mostly just fly in my garden, and the 2.5" freestyle (quadmula djinn 25) is just better for that space.
Can you make tutorial settings for Tryp?
Will put it on the list, and thanks for the suggestion :)

uncrashed got an update please rewiew it
Yep, I am working on it :)
@@RaukFPV thanks
been flying TYRP for my avata 2...but keen to know your modded drone PID config too if dont mind sharing
sure, i would not expect it to fly at all like a avata 2, just keep that in mind.
i have two, one for my 5" and one for my 2.5" drone,
they fly very different.
do you want both, or just one of them?
Thank you, definitely would like to know both since I have been checking 5inch drone too :) . Which drone do you fly more nowadays? :)
hey, havent forgotten about you, just trying to figure out how to send the custom drones in Tryp, as the pids them selves wont help much as they are made for the custom drones. do you have discord? i can send you the screenshots of the setup there.
i mostly fly my cinewhoopos, as they are more used professionally. and when i do have some time i mostly just fly in my garden, and the 2.5" freestyle (quadmula djinn 25) is just better for that space.
