RE: Goofing Around The Green- Liftoff FPV Drone Simulator- 3D Mode Unlocked!

Oh yeah, that's pretty much it, lol, or so they day. My best friend owns a parts shop so yeah, he wants all his buddies to fly hard and break things, lol.
Me on the other hand, I like to think of it as if I am in the cockpit of an aircraft. Essentially you are, so when I am flying a real plane (I do have my FAA solo pilots license) I certainly do not want to crash. Well, I think about the drone the same way, lol, because you are absolutely correct in your assumption that it is an expensive hobby, lol.
For that reason, is why I suggest to start with a good controller that you will carry into a real FPV drone, and spend $20 on Liftoff. That way you know that controller and it becomes apart of your muscle memory. Then once you have some serious hours in the simulators, look into your own goggles and drone. The cool thing about Liftoff is that you can basically build your own drone. I have replicas of my drones that I practice with. Same motors, battery specs, pip rates, etc.
When you mentioned in your post “receiver” I wondered if you meant remote control. That’s awesome that you can use your remote on the simulator. Makes it much more realistic when you come to trying the real thing. I think this will be something I get into eventually
I would have to go back and read what I wrote, but I could have been wrong, I often say things back asswards, lol. The controller is the transmitter and the receiver is on the drone. If that helps clear things up.
Haha, we have “back asswardsness” in common. Could well be my mistake too 🤣
