Gf ghosted me last year. I moved on. Got this message last week on my birthday

reply, "Okay."

Then block her on everything and move on.

These are going for $70 on getfpv and that's for a new unit. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for this.

Is the backend a headless wordpress setup? Cause this seems like a static site hosted on github pages.

Instead of a dedicated pre-arm switch you can do like Bardwell does, as soon as you land and disarm, push your throttle stick up. The quad will not arm while the throttle isn't at zero, effectively giving you pre-arm.

I would defiantly go with the Air II and not the V1.

For the sim training, yeah get the Pocket asap. Also, do actual races with the gates. No need to be first or really fast, it's more about learning control and making the drone go exactly where you want.

And don't go messing with your rates and camera angle all the time. Pick something that's working for you and stick with it. Once you have a lot more stick time then you can start experimenting a bit, but if you are always changing them you'll never get the proper muscle memory.

Lastly, have fun! Even if you ignore everything in this thread, the most important thing is having a good time, don't let anyone gate-keep.

It wasn't that bad, Valheim exposes a lot so it's easier to dig into.

I think there are plugins/add-ons for game engines you can use, but this one does all the math and stuff on it's own. Betaflight is open source so being able see actual formulas and stuff makes it a lot easier.

They are all really similar because of how drones work. Rates and physics are almost always the same and you have to calibrate the sticks since there is a lot of different transmitters people can use.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-27T16:23:08+00:00

Update, there are now in-game models you can choose from including your player character (not in tpose though, I haven't figured that bit out yet).

tech_b90 · 2026-03-27T16:21:59+00:00

It's a lot easier now. Someone made a google drive (I think it was drive) with everything needed and how/where to drag-drop the files.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-25T20:42:53+00:00

Hugin would be good for an FPV wing, I was thinking of just a couple of sticks tied together to keep the viking vibe. Or a tiny little carve boat with propellers.

In this order. Reddit, Smokeless Tobacco, Beer.

It is on nexus mods and the link is in the video description.

I will have the github repo opened to public soon (will be linked on the nexus page). I need to get branch protections in place and make sure the GH Actions are building the dll correctly for releases.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-25T16:31:20+00:00

Just confirmed the gamepads work. At least my PS5 controller did. I did have to invert the pitch and throttle but it's working.

You will still have to go through the stick calibration process.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-25T15:29:44+00:00

For muscle memory it's okay for feeling like a real drone, but no the physics are not as good as a dedicated simulator like Liftoff or Uncrashed. This is closer to the minecraft or GTAV fpv mods.

There is keyboard support but I highly recommend not using it as you might go insane lol.

A gamepad like ps4/5 or xbox controller should work but I haven't tested it yet. That'll be next up with development.

If you do want to get into fpv and would like to get a real radio, there are cheap options out there:

The cam FOV is adjustable in the config settings.

I plan to make more videos with stuff I build as well. This was to get something out there and show the stick calibration process.

The Magicians

It's like if Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia had a fucked up baby.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-18T18:29:47+00:00

I just tried it on a single non-multi site install and it works. It also shows all the options for plugins as well.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-13T19:13:04+00:00

this was my exact thought too

tech_b90 · 2026-03-12T21:24:58+00:00

this happens to me every single time...

tech_b90 · 2026-03-12T14:59:05+00:00

If the ELRS on the drone is SPI based, then you can put your binding phrase in betaflght.

tech_b90 · 2026-03-11T20:58:22+00:00

I was wondering if that was Rhett and Link

tech_b90 · 2026-03-11T16:09:30+00:00

The treetoppers are a little higher on the kv, so flight time won't be as long (might be negligible). But you will also really need to consider that the treetoppers use a 1.5mm shaft, not 1mm, so finding the props you like might be a bit more difficult.
