    If you want to progress faster, then the answer is: Yes, most of us need sims. And that is non debatable.

    Very surprised you have not mentioned Velocidrone, which everyone agrees to have the best physics.

    My first experience of FPV was trying to buy an Avata after a nervous breakdown (doctor suggested it to calm me), thinking it was a "normal" drone & the guy selling it was like "You know you need goggles for this right?" and I was like why tf would I need goggles for it? He explained and said he had a friend who could sell me a pair of V2's for £300. I said no thanks because I didn't know what I was getting myself into and the drone was already £600 (+ fly more kit & remote 2) But I got back in my car and just sat thinking, I really want that drone. It sounded awesome having never heard of FPV before. Decided to message him and say I'll take it + then drove an hour to meet another random dude and bought the goggles. Didn't know sims even existed, didn't know anyone or follow anyone into FPV, I just put the goggles on and started flying in normal & sport mode in a field, totally illegally as I didn't know the rules lol. Took me a week before I googled what "manual mode" was because I could't access it, but I'd still been having fun in N/S. After following the online tutorial I took to the sky, flipped it into manual mode, strafed to the right a bit and then immediately crashed in a panic, because it was nothing like a "normal" drone or N/S modes.. I tried again, crashed, again, crashed.. until I didn't. I managed to actually stay in the air and even turn! Sounds hilarious to me now but I think that was the exact moment I got hooked on FPV. And then I started searching and following established pilots like you, started talking to people in the community and learnt about quads, freestyle & the sims, put about 17 hours straight into Uncrashed while smoking a ton of wd and built the muscle memory, next flight I was already doing split S's & power loops.. You can definitely learn without a sim, but wow do they make building that muscle memory so easy compared to the real thing. I only use the sim when I can't fly for real now though, just doesn't hit the same without the risk and feels weird. I'm also the proud owner of 2x 5" quads, 2x Whoops, a dumb mini SE & my Avata has been modified into an FPV RC car camera lol. If you read this long I salute you, I just need to keep typing because I'm upset and talking FPV makes me happy + there's a limit on the live chat lol. FPV has played a huge part in why I'm still alive right now, things got really bad for me 14 months ago and I honestly don't think I would of had the escape I needed that FPV gave, to still have the strength to keep fighting. And specifically you, the best FPV pilot in the world, helped me with your style of videos, your honesty, humor and reminders to always try to be having fun man, or what's the point.

    I have 1,250 hours in Velocidrone, 168 in DRL, 10 in Uncrashed, 61 in Liftoff, and not sure how many in TinyWhoop. I never have time to go fly IRL, so 95% of my practice is done in the SIM. The new update to Velocidrone is awesome! Bunch of new whoops, and the updated physics are EPIC!!!!!! Even if it's not perfect, it builds the needed muscle memory. And as a old guy with a crap memory, I need all the help I can get. Lol

  • @dillbroSwaggins
    @dillbroSwaggins День назад +8

    Once you can perch or generally land where you intend to in a sim, you can get a real drone. After that, the sim is mostly good for trying tricks without fucking the quad up.

    • @serenestateofbeing1062
      @serenestateofbeing1062 День назад

      I totally agree. I have a 9 year old brother who's watched me fly. Let him try liftoff and he was actually decent from the start. After 1 hour, he took his first flight. Even though my ass cheeks were clenched the whole time, he didn't crash and landed alright. Gifted him my cetus x and he got pretty decent. Some people just get the hang of it immediately.

    My homie bought a tx12 8 months or so ago. All he has done is fly on Tryp FPV because he has no goggles or drones yet. Yesterday I took him out to fly with my hdzero setup on a 2" and 5" freestyle drone. He was hitting solid tricks for his first time flying and had zero issues with the controls. I am 100% a believer in simulators as the gateway to FPV on a low budget.

    THPS 1 and 2 was such a vibe when it released, we spent way too many hours as kids doing the stupidest combos and tricks. We had this competition at my school to see who could get the highest combo score and it basically turned into people putting the perfect balance cheat on and grinding a circle rail, leaving the Playstation on for a week and coming back to check the score... ahhh the days.

    Everybody needs a sim, both to learn and fly when you can't do it outside. I learned to fly on GTA V with a very good mod (supports radios, you have the full GTA experience as a drone, and you can even bind a projectile button to shoot from your drone), it's pretty much my go to along side Logic. There's also a mod for RDR2 apparently, if you want to fpv drone in 1899.

    I now try to fly IRL or in the sim everyday (made a commitment to myself earlier this year coming into the Australian Nationals to stay on the sticks). I’m hoping one day I’ll be flying IRL too much I won’t need the the sim. But until I can find some good IRL flying spots I’ll keep smashing those bandos in Uncrashed and practicing my racing in Velocidrone.

  • @MattysDroneWorld

    I didnt fly a single sim until about 3 years in. I use uncrashed now just to dial in advanced tricks. Before i send it IRL i will do it a couple times in uncrashed. Kind of like how a pro race car driver learns tracks.

  • @unRealityFPV
    @unRealityFPV День назад +1

    Liftoff is for learning
    Uncrashed is for fun, racing, and amazing graphics, and now has multiplayer and a map editor
    Tryp is just fun
    Velocidrone is #1 for racing and training, and has great multiplayer lobbies
    AIDroneSim is underrated and has impressive physics

    Yep, Sims are a great way for newbies to learn how to fly without breaking the bank and their shiny new toy.
    So I proceeded to learn how to fly the Eachine Qx65 tiny Whoop. Which was way too easy to loose in the grass. Learned acro on the King Kong ET115, just a big ass whoop. First 5" was the Emax Hawk 5. That was a blast. 👍😎

    When I was begining with FPV, I ordered all the shit from Banggood and Aliexpress so I had to wait for almost 2 months before everything arrived.
    But I was so hyped to fly that I just used my gamepad (Playstation-like style) and was flying DRL simulator with that... like if starting FPV isn't hard enough, I had to struggle with spring centering throttle. But it was better than nothing. :)

    Just starting to get into my new hobby.I switch between uncrashed, liftoff, velocidrone and logic fpv to learn flying while waiting on the last parts.. e.g. goggles.. I dig them all but as a newbie I can't tell which one is the closest to flying IRL. I can't wait to fly/crash/rebuild my quad!

    @ChrisHarmon1 День назад

    There was a time with real flight 6/6.5 that really helped flying in real life for rc helicopters(single rotor with tail rotor). Anything i could master in the sim easily translated to real life. This was before flybarless was common, so honestly it should have been harder to replicate. I have tried velocidrone, but its nothing like real life IMO. That said, it will probably help with getting used to a new radio/stick ends/settings.

  • @nomidubidabi

  • @BabaYagaFPV
    @BabaYagaFPV День назад

    For me FPV is about being outside in the world so the Sims never really did it for me. But I think they're a great training tool. When I first started flying I just lost or trashed a lot of quads until I finally got it right, Sims would have been a better way to get started.

  • @bantyFPV
    @bantyFPV День назад

    Ya, perfectly said!! If you want to learn stick movements then you have to sim, unless your very rich like Tyler Perry and Rick Ross who have fleets of RC planes worth over $100,000 (yes, they fly 😂). But you don't need 300 hours, I'd say 10 to 20 hours depend9ng on learning speed, learn the basic tricks, and go out when it feels right, just pick a safe spot on the first flight, abd make sure everything is right. Sweaty and shaking hands is normal the first couple times. Great video dude 👍

    I like TRYP Fpv, nice sim with a good soundtracks, and it have racing, freestyle, and some scenario missions. And my favorite actions to fly on chimera 7 and making dives down the mountains.
    At first I use simple betafvp controller, than I bought TX16S and practice on it, than i start fly in realty with the feeling of my rc.

    I started flying in sim, and rapidly move to real life, I still practice in sim since I don’t always have time to go out and fly. I also use the SIM to practice when I have a job, it is not easy to go from flying super fast to flying super slow when showing a property, it takes a few minutes for your bran to readjust to slower rates… To me sim is a tool…

    I’m a 13-year-old that doesn’t have an FPV drone or a controller or really anything and I currently only fly in Sims on my iPad
    So the deal is you send me a controller. I fly in a Sim until I manage to get a job. Buy my own controller buy my own drone and then I give the controller back to you.
    Why am I asking? I know you’re gonna say no either either way. 💀💀💀💀💀💀

    @fpvkevlar8101 День назад

    I think best simulator is velocidrone feels the most real life you can get if you're a new pilot id say get it. I used velocidrone to test my rates I would change them and test them in velocidrone then go out and test them outside and I did this till I settled on my rates I fly now l. LThe second Sim is go with is FPV logic and 3rd I'd go with Uncrashed for freestyle. Ps TRYP FPV Just got Betaflight added to it and had a big physics overhaul and quad feel update and a bunch of other things I guess if TRYP can get the quad feel right is say they would be the second one to get but they haven't as of the last time I played but like I said I haven't played the update yet so maybe they fixed it. haven't checked it out personally yet. Also velocidrone also got a big update they added a bunch of new quads and they also did some quality of life updates and graphics I guess. These are just my opinions. Happy Flying y'all.
