Liftoff FPV Drone Simulator | REVIEW 

Did it start off really hard at first I am few hours into the game and I cant get control aside from just flying in open air.

@@iheart3dprinting951 Same here body :))

I did this twice. First when I learned to fly fixed wing around 10 years ago and just over the last 6 months for quads. The $20 you spend for the sim is going to save you hundreds on replacement parts.

+LuGus Studios thanks for continuing to make it better!

SICK TIME

Hi, due to the current depressing conditions and corona games I feel very down, so I'm thinking to learn drone flying, maybe it helps my mentality. I know nothing about drone or gaming, just wanna learn flying. Seems a stimulator is the best way to learn for beginners. Do you have any suggestions for a very beginner? Should I buy just controller Or it has some special accessories as well? Costly? Thx in advance

Glad I was able to help you out, Stefan.

@@JoshuaBardwell I meant to post this to the previous video about 3.4 betaflight and using a flight controller on drone as a bridge to use radio as game controller, but autoplay went to another video, anyway I think you get it. You saved me money and time and now I can focus on simulator before flying the thing. Hopefully in the future when I will finish school and have a full time job I can support ur channel on patreon. Thanks again

Dat profile pic bruh...

It's a tribute to my favourite teacher . . . Bruh . . .

I totally agree... I love Liftoff!

Liftoff runs fine on my MBP from 2013.

I was hoping for a comparison of the two... but thats unlikely to happen, since Joshua is involved in Liftoff marketingwise...

Fully agree with this!

101rotarypower invest into vecidrone (: it's worth it !

For me, the best one there

pressing 'a' will change flight modes it sounds like you're in 3d

Can't see why he would'nt review it at some point. Afterall, there are only so many flight simulators around.

try flying only in freestyle, its less floaty. it would be nice to have a gravity setting, i mean half life 2 had gravity settings and that game is almost 15 yrs old

Yes, you have to set up a new model for "simulator" is what I call it.

as long as you've flown in the simulator I think hed say straight to a 5 inch quad

Priyabrata Saha I'm not speaking for him but check out his playlist within the last couple weeks he has tons of reviews and shows us all sorts of cool interesting products other than live streams. Happy flying

QUADBOT FPV I am not offending joshua's videos. His channel is my favorite since I got into this hobby. I am stating my opinion. That's all.

build videos are boring and all the same motors camera vtx escs reciever done.

coppertop FPV those are not pointless at all. Those helping a lot of people round the globe. But it is your and mine preference.

QUADBOT FPV it is all about personal preference.

Some aux switches won't work. There aren't enough joystick buttons/channels to use all of them. But you should be able to get a few of them working.

I haven't tried to exactly match my rates. I trust that they are correctly imitating the mathematical calculation of the rate curve. But rates have a physical component too--how fast the motors can accelerate the quad. I don't know how accurate that is.

Put the filters back on and change the props again just to confirm that was the actual cause.

Ok. I found the problem. I checked this but still somehow missed it. One of the prop blades had a slight bend and was out of alignment. Only 5.5 mm but that was enough to seriously degrade performance and make the motors hot on LOS hover with mild punches. Filtering on or off didn't matter. I straightened prop and everything is fine. Note these were 5042 props and 2205 2300kv Racerstar motors. I'm guessing that the lower pitch prop combined with these cheaper motors makes them extremely sensitive to any noise. Ive crashed this quad and bent props before with cyclones 46's and never had motors get that hot. Just a thought.

I always set graphics llow to make sure I'm getting at least 60 fps on these, although my screen capture doesn't always show it. I do think that helps the physics feel better.

Joshua Bardwell yeah it definitely helps a lot. 60fps is ok, but if you can get up to 200fps or more it's even better, something to do with the physics calculations being tied to the frame rate.

For what it's worth, that's exactly my system. Although my processor might be faster than yours.

I'm an i7-6700 @ 3.4Ghz running the latest greatest graphic drivers. Since this is a pre-release I am hoping that they still have some optimization left to do. I tried DRL again yesterday (it's been a while) and it is like flying a tank :-)

I'm not sure what you're asking by "how good is your board". It's just Betaflight so if you can configure it on a Flip32 you can configure it on my board.

that about what i was asking was it as easy as a flip32. thank you for your help i should of ask how easy it is not how good sorry for that

Have you tried the GTA V Drone mod?

I havn't tried myself, I only have GTA V on ps4 :(

I couldn't get the Steam version that I bought to work with the mod so I had to use a pirated copy. That map is so much better than any sim could ever be, just amazing.

It would require 1,000 videos on "how to adjust your computer to support the sims." *Every* computer is different as to how it will need to be adjusted to run Liftoff. It isn't fair to think that a guy that reviews a piece of software can also supply technical support category info for all the computers out there. It's up to every computer owner to learn enough about their machines to know what needs to be adjusted to run gaming software.

floorpizza sorry for the suggestion, didn’t mean to bother you. It was just an idea. In all fairness it is the drone owners responsibility to learn their own drone as well. If that were the case we wouldn’t need any drone how to videos.

I'm sorry if I came across a bit strong, Duke. Not my intention. But yes, there are relevant videos to learn about setting up computers to handle gaming, much like Joshua teaches us about drones. But they are two very different categories, and just like there is so much to learn about drones that Joshua is able to make a living teaching us about them, the same applies to computers. There are hundreds of different drones, and drone configurations. If you say, "tune this drone this way to make it fly", it isn't relevant for *all* of them. Unfortunately, again, the same thing applies to computers; you can't just say "do this to run this game" and have it apply to every computer out there. Running games on computers is the harshest thing you can do; it taxes the hardware far, far more than anything else you can possibly do. Setting up your computer's individual hardware to run Liftoff is going to differ from everyone elses, unfortunately. Even more unfortunately, MacOS computers typically have very weak hardware specs for gaming. Don't get me wrong, I *love* MacOS, and have owned pretty much every Mac that has ever been released, all the way back to 1984's original Mac (yes, I'm old). I dream of the day when Apple will release Mac's with cutting edge specs regarding CPU's and GPU's. Until that day, I will run Windows machines built by me to have the horsepower needed to run the latest and greatest game titles. Sorry for the wall of text. :) Here's the tl;dr version: Trying to tell people how to adjust their computers to run any particular game title is beyond the scope of one video, or a comment made in one video. Happy flying, Duke. :)

In the key settings, you can setup a key for turtle mode (default T, but I use space) and it flips your quad. Very useful!
