Sim on my DJI RC2? Yes please... now can we get Avata 2 or Neo too 😍

I just tried the new sim on my DJI RC2 and it’s awesome. Really hoping they bring in support for the Avata 2 or the Neo as well!

That’s so cool! They really need to make a proper FPV sim. I hate having to plug my controller into the computer every time.

You can’t loosen the gimbals on the RC2, so using it for FPV sim stuff doesn’t really work.

Hey fellow Slovenian! You can still fly FPV with a centered throttle, I do it all the time.

That’s just not a good idea unless you’re doing 3D flying.

Wait… you mean like flying in acro mode?

@Zephyr
No, I mean actual 3D mode. Like where the center stick is 0% throttle and you can go both forward and reverse thrust.

Alright. I don’t get why that’s such a problem though if you’re already used to the sticks. I’ve flown Air Units, O3, O4 on separate FPV builds. All 3D-style setups. I’m not sure what’s so risky about it.

@Zephyr
Because you’re cutting your stick resolution in half… and if you’re not flying upside-down and reversing thrust, it’s not really 3D mode.

I get that, but either way you still have to move the stick all the way down for zero throttle, even with the springs. Maybe we’re just misunderstanding each other.

Does it run directly from the RC or does it need the drone connected? I remember the Spark needed the drone plugged in.

It runs through the app so you just need the controller. No drone connection required.

I don’t get why they took this feature out before. The Phantom 3 used to have a sim and it really helped with getting the feel for controls before flying for real. Wasn’t super advanced but it helped big time.

Neat feature. But honestly, flying for the first time isn’t that hard—unless you try doing it in your living room or tiny backyard.
