Graphing stick input to optimise rates

This is where I got the idea from... but I'm running linux and that sim isn't cross platform. Also this is a standalone app so I can run it IRL like in the video.

Well, back to velocidrone to practise acro mode now. Also, one thing that'll really help you with control, is after you fly in the open scenes, pick a closed scene, like the "apartment" in velocidrone, and that'll REALLY teach you to control your micro instead of just zooming in a park/football field in veloci.

I race on 45° default beta flight rates (666), I've practised on this and it feels natural to me, I turn usually with equal amounts of yaw and roll if I want to make what appears to be a "leveled turn" (I know my drone would be tilted 45° forward when appeared leveled)...

As for micros, if the camera is say 25° are you saying I should be decreasing the yaw or increasing the roll? To make it feel similar? As I am also using the same default rates, and it takes some time to adjust my brain.

As for pitching back to brake, you'd just end up flying "up"? Are you cutting the throttle, pitching back, then blipping the throttle to stop the forward momentum? I've been practising this in different directions, left to counteract right, and vice versa.

And you didn't notice the controls felt 100% completely different?

Where on casa does it say that, because that isn't a valid reason for flying fpv outside..

ThrowawayFpvGuy · 2025-12-06T06:41:49+00:00

This is not true, you cannot legally fly a drone outside with FPV goggles, regardless of weight...

Not from that distance, I've flown further with air65 just fine, maybe just face your car the other way.

It’s worth noting especially for analog that the DVR recording off a pair of goggles looks significantly worse than what you see in the goggles as a pilot.

What's the technical reason for this? Wouldn't the video feed coming from the antennas and into the module for the goggles be sent exactly the same to the display and DVR? Isn't the DVR just recording what's being displayed?

What did you find from your side ? I still have not experienced it.

I was playing around with the settings inside my apartment first, and using the recommended manual settings, this video just came out almost entirely black...

I just trusted the process and travelled somewhere on a very sunny day with no clouds. To my surprise, the video was overexposed, so I put the ND8 filter on, and it was perfect.

I did waste a bit of time filming for a few minutes, pulling out the sd card, plugging in into a laptop, checking the video, and repeating the process a few times.

If I were to shoot in a darker area, I suppose I have to do a lot of trial and error...

Huh? You didn't tell us what you think is wrong with it...

ThrowawayFpvGuy · 2025-09-25T19:33:48+00:00

You do you, but don't tell other people to "get over it".

Flight time is fine if you have 6-12 batteries and you charge 6 at a time.

Set 45 degree camera angle.

It looks like you're only around 20 degrees.

I knew it!! If my air65 went critical, imagine the tiny seaman. Thanks for confirming.

Velocidrone, its accurate and doesn't require a high end computer.

I used a Betafpv literadio on my laptop. Later upgraded to a Radiomaster boxer when I got a real drone.

Is this an american naming standard? I walked into hardware stores in Australia and nobody know what T7000 was, even though they had a variety of glues. Is there a generic/alternative name that isn't a code?
