I up graded from RealFlight Drone to RealFlight 7.5, both of which use the same controller: the Elite by Futaba. In RealFlight 7.5 it apparently is critical to calibrate your controllerĮven if it is the Elite controller by Futaba that comes with \ RF 7.5 In the future I will "pin it down" harder before posting.
I found the apparent differences were really due to intermittent problems with my controller going bad (which RealFlight has generously replaced a no charge). Note: I deleted my comment about control in 7.5 Vs Drone. But if you are already that familiar with the real thing what do you need a simulator for?
If you already know how to fly a drone you can presumably adjust the settings in 7.5 to at least approximate its control characteristics. AFAIAC, the "drones" in RF 7.5 are just a computer game unrelated to actual drones until and IF I can find out how to adjust them to match the real things (which the default settings do not remotely do on the few I've tried so far). If I'd learned to fly drones in 7.5 i suspect I'd have wrecked all my drones in very short order due to highly unrealistic expectations of what the controls would actually do. I found the apparent differences were really due to intermittent problems with my controller going bad (which RealFlight has generously replaced a no charge).ĭrone was reasonably good practice for flying the real thing.
Note: I deleted comment about control in 7.5 Vs Drone. It has a mode window you can keep visible so you know whether you are flying in "position hold", "altitude hold", "stabilization" or "acro" In 7.5 you have to guess unless you edit the settings yourself. IMHO RealFlight Drone is much better for learning to fly drones.
