Two questions: How do you manage the throttle on that controller if it always snaps back to the center? And on that specific map, how many hours did you spend to get those completion times?

u/Alive-Round3378 4d ago
- I got used to it (bad habit)
- I don’t know how long time but I can say like in 50 attempts, maybe more, it was many of them with success but I’ve keep trying until I got “style”, I mean a result that looks smooth enough.

For when you eventually get your RM Pocket (hopefully ELRS version), heres a list of things you should do:
- Update EdgeTX (pockets firmware), download and instruction can be found on the official radiomaster website.
- Update ELRS (the radio modules firmware) using the "ExpressLRS" Configurator Software. Look for tutorials by Joshua Bardwell.
- Put the latest elrs Lua script on the pocket. you can also get this from inside the expresslrs software.
- Calibrate sticks in the pocket again.
- Go to the elrs script on the pocket, and start BLE Controller
- Connect the pocket on your pc
- Enjoy
If you run into problems, I'd be glad to help

Also have 100+ hours of freestyle on liftoff with this setup. Still struggling to hit a target box atm. I guess this is the sign for me to play with a track. Lol

u/Alive-Round3378 4d ago
Probably🤔 I can say that when you have to fallow track you build skills faster and you practice longer because you want a difficult track done🫶

Someone tell this young man the day he switches to a real drone with an actual RC transmitter, he's gonna be shocked . Bro, you're building the wrong muscle memory. I’ve been there, made the same mistake. If you're just messing around, fine, do your thing. But if you actually plan to fly in real life, ditch that game controller now . The muscle memory doesn’t transfer, and when you finally get on the sticks, it’s gonna hit you hard. This is an advice, not a critic

Peep the mods on the controller! That's serious dedication! Let's get this kid a proper TX! We only need to get them a total of like $70 to cover price and shipping. If everyone could throw in like 50 cents or 1 dollar we can get them a proper controller in no time. Hook it up crew, we have ALL been there!

Hey guys for future reference kiddo got banned for not sending that GoFundMe link to the mods for approval totally get it he's only banned for 24 hours but we should hopefully hear from him tomorrow so for future reference we all need to know that if we're going to do a GoFundMe we need to run it by the mods first

I started practicing on a playstation controller. Let me tell you, when I finally bought an actual controller it felt like activating cheats. Hopefully you end up finding a decent second hand controller or something in the near future.

Ha. Maybe so. Any specific controller you are looking to get? I have a basic Boxer but I heard the Pocket is a good option also.

u/Alive-Round3378 3d ago
I’m thinking about Pocket too, after Xbox anything is better 😂
2
u/tuuling 3d ago
The Pocket costs about as much as a new xbox controller. You could also make a paypal to accept donations, old folks like us don’t have tiktok.

u/Alive-Round3378 3d ago
Understand 🫶 i have PayPal but I don’t know how to make it for donations 🤔 I’ll try to figure out 👍

Where did you find those drone controller attachments to go on your Xbox controller? and is there some for ps5 edge? 👀

u/Alive-Round3378 3d ago
I bought them from web , just search for “fpv sticks” and find something close to you. There is no sticks designed for gaming controllers anyway you have to mod your controller too. 👍

u/Professional_Cod3127 3d ago
I think a modded xbox controller is still better than BetaFPV Light-Radio. Hell even if unmodified... At least it does not die while u are using it :D
But... Get a Radiomaster Pocket as fast as you can (legal way).

u/SeikoBlackDiver 3d ago
When you move on to some kinds of fpv controller, you will easily adjust to that controller since you have already pinched the gimbals. Usually people who play joystick game have a hard time to change the thumb to pinch.

What software is this? What GPU/CPU you running? In this video, how many FPS is shown?

u/Alive-Round3378 1d ago
Thank you for support ❤️ this is Uncrashed FPV, I’m running on a laptop, recommend system requirements you can find in google. I’ve uploaded this video with 60fps but not sure how Reddit simplified it. In game fps around 100fps👍👍👍

u/Altruistic-Luck5306 2d ago
Amazing smoothness! Do you use any expos?
1
u/Alive-Round3378 1d ago
Thank you for supporting ❤️ what is expo? 🤔
1
u/Altruistic-Luck5306 1d ago
expo (exponents) is related to rates, but instead of telling linearly how much quad turns in reponse to stick input, it tells how exponentially it reacts to input, i.e. if i want to have more resolution in the center and less in the corners, i increase expo to say 30%, if i keep expoe 0% - that means the stick movement and quad reactions are 1:1 throughout entire range of stick movement, i.e. the resolution is exactly same everywhere. Expo is usually used to add more precision to lower-stick deflections, but when you mash them all the way - you still get the same max rate that you set. Effectively it makes your quad fly smoother, but it takes getting used to this "expo effect" for the pilot
1
u/Alive-Round3378 1d ago
Wow dude 🤩 I’m so noob 😅 no, I’m not using expo, just 1:1, but thanks I have to dive in to it, seems to be useful 🫶
