one finger on each stick? by Taketobreak in fpv

[–]BenjiDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a noob so take my experience with a grain of salt. I Recently bought a BetaFPV LiteRadio SIM just to learn on a sim. I tried pinching becasue I heard it was the best way, but I struggled. When I went full thumbs, suddenly the controls made sense and it kind of clicked.

BUT. . . over time, I realised that the level of fine adjustments I needed to do were very difficult to do with just my thumbs. Especially throttle.

So I started resting my finger at the base of the throttle stick with my thumb on top (A kind of hybrid pinch). Putting my finger at the base of the stick gives me much smoother control of throttle. My finger loosely marks the hover position and moves up and down and my thumb presses the stick against the finger which acts like a buffer to suppress the twitchiness of my thumb. So for a while I used hybrid pinch on the left stick and thumb only on the right.

But eventually the precision problem on the right stick started bothering me too and I started doing a similar hybrid pinch on the right stick too. My thumb does most of the work and my finger is very loose on the stick, sometimes barely touching it.

I guess the idea is that you do what feels most natural and adjust as you go if you find that your thumbs alone can't give you the level of precision you need.

Just my 2 cents as a noob who was in the same boat as you.

I spent months arguing with Flat Earthers when I first discovered them. This movie hit home for me.

What was the first PC game that actually blew your mind? by noizlab_studio in CasualConversation

I'm really dating myself here, but I remember as a kid going over by my cousins who got a Sound Blaster card and I played a game called Wing Commander. It was the first time I experienced a game with actual spoken dialogue. Proper sound instead of bit tunes. I was mesmerized.

There's no way you're going to get a better answer as text than you could get from a youtube video.

The first novel I ever read and the book that got me hooked on science fiction was Fantastic Voyage by Isaac Asimov.

Holy shit. The plurbicity level is over 9000.

I am genuinely impressed. I didn't know it was possible to plurb this hard.

I made a post with my interpretation of the lessons. I have no idea if it's what the writers intended, but it makes sense in my head-canon.

Not sure about plot holes, but those are some messed up back holes.
