- Everyone knows that an FPV simulator will never feel exactly like flying a real FPV drone, but that is just a fact because...gravity. We can simulate gravity electronically all we want, but the way our quads move is so dynamic that making it act perfectly is completely impossible. I have spent some time finding the best settings to emulate my freestyle quads in Velocidrone, so I want to share those with you. We will also cover some tips to help the experience be a little bit better, and how to tweak my settings to work for your rigs that might be a little different spec!

Brotha, THANK YOU!!! I downloaded velocidrone a couple months ago, and started playing with it… Immediately became quite frustrated with the physics of everything. It was just completely unrealistic I couldn’t understand why a drone simulator would not appropriately represent GRAVITY!!! your video has re-instilled my confidence in the applications itself and I am super aware of the amount of time this took you to get to the point of being able to make a video like this and I just wanna say it was super helpful. Thank you!!!
you are very very welcome! :) I am just glad it helped you out and got you back into the itch for that sim stick time!
Fun fact: propeller profile emulates the type of prop material. I.E profile 1 is the stiffer more aggressive (clear prop)style of polycarbonate where as 2 and 3 are softer and emulate more prop flex. Basically how the prop will sweep or bite the air 👍
ah!!!! That is some SUPER great insight!! Thank you so much for sharing that. Makes sense too as I usually like a stiffer prop and I wound up on profile 1, lol.
@@BaconNinjaFPV Really wish Velocidrone added tool tips to clarify what settings like this mean. I only found out about prop profile about 6months ago after not know what it meant for years
@@ThirdEyeFPV lol, yes I totally agree!! I have almost 200 hours in vdrone and wasn't clear on this until Afterburner commented about it. I have been playing a lot of TRYP lately and it tooltips everything....even though they do hide the menus from you pretty well.
Praise be. This man made velocidrone so much better
Excellent tips, I mostly fly sims and this could be my missing link between reality and sim worlds! Thanks mate! Sub++
I sure hope it helps!
Really excellent tips, dude! Thanks a bunch! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you sir! Maybe now people can get a feel for what it is like to fly my janky builds! lol
this was really helpful, thanks friend
Thank you as always for checking it out!! Really appreciate you!
very helpful information. thanks
you are very welcome!! Thank you for checking it out.
love your videos always informative and your also a crazy ripper!
Thank you man!! I try to mix knowledge with rippage so it isn't just boring piddle flights when you see the stuff in action, lol.
Definitely good tips, make sense and will try it out!
I don't have Nazgual as an option to pick. How people have more different quads in the Velocidrone tham ne? Also how to build your own there if its possible... couldn't find work bench there.
Also what to pick when choosing the map... so hard to understand this sim( super unfriendly UI ). There are many options like 1 lap; 3 laps; race; another type of race; etc...bla bla bla SO what stands for what if you know and like to share pls.
You don’t have the Nazgûl because that is purchased via the freestyle pack for around $5 USD
Hey great video im late like always but got it for som reason i get the videos when already pass a couple of days old . And it happens with almost all my subscription. Anyway thank u.
I don't mind you being a few days behind, I am just happy to have you here at all!! Thank you for watching!
Hello, Great video! 1 question, is there a way to trim the radio for Velocidrone. when I try to fly, the "drone" continuously yaws left. I have to keep constant right yaw to fly straight. Its very frustrating. To the point I don't use the sim a lot. Thanks
👏👏👏
Would love to see a race quad setup using the same principles
My racing setup needs just a little bit more work, but when I get it dialed in I will absolutely share it!
@@BaconNinjaFPV Did you ever do the race quad video? Would be a great follow up. Really enjoying your content btw!
@@lazydubdude I haven't yet :( I thought about entering another whoop series this year, but literally missed a whole month of tryouts since I was so busy. I do have weather that may make for a good opportunity to talk about it though! Thank you! :)
Man I'm just eatin up your vids right now haha they're all great! I'm learning so much (:
Would you happen to have played DRL? I'm curious how these two compare. Or all of the top sims if you've got them. Which ones are most realistic, which ones are most fun with friends?
Oh man...i have them all, lol. DRL is fun, but the racing is a very different style specific to that kind of larger heavy racing platform and course layout. For graphics, it is TRYP or Uncrashed all day every day. Fun with friends? Probably Velocidrone since there are cool modes like combat and the multiplayer works really well. Happy medium, i would go with Liftoff.
@@BaconNinjaFPV damn. your answer confirmed what I already thought... I need em all haha
@@likebliss dooooooo it!! Come to the dark side!!!!
30hours/60maps of velocidrone with tiny whoops and tothpick here. Any settings recommendations? Iam a noob and i will be flying tiny whoobs between 100-200g mostly this year.
To me it didnt make any sense to fly nasgul since its so heavy and fast
I would be interested on the specs of the computer you are using. And would be very interested in settings for racing 5 inch quads.!
I am still working on the racing quad set up, but the computer specs I can give you for sure! it is a pretty basic rig really. Just an old Ryzen 7 1700x, 32GB of memory, and an Nvidia RTX 2070. Pretty mid spec by today's standards.
@@BaconNinjaFPV Thanks! Truth is, I am trying with a laptop with integrated GPU and no options I try make it flyable... Latitude 7420 with i7-1185G7. I guess I need to buy a desktop :/ What is the refresh rate of your monitor?
It' strange that weight affects floatiness.. weight never affects acceleration of gravity (at least physical says so, velicidrone seems has it's own point of view). Weight should affect acceleration done by props force - the thrust..
I think it is more weight in relation to fling and air resistance. When a quad is heavier, it will have less of a tendency to float since the thrust to weight ratio goes down and air resistance is more easily overcome since the surface area doesn't really change. In a vacuum though, it would be totally equal :)
Hey, thanks for the video! I'm going to start training in a simulator before buying my first drone. Could you recommend a not too expensive controller for this that will be compatible with mac os?
There are quite a few good options out there! It all really depends on what you plan to run as your first quad and if you would rather buy once up front or replace your radio at some point within the first year. The Radiomaster line up of EdgeTX radios including the TX12, Zorro, Boxer, and TX16S (in order of price) are always a good bet for use long term. Each of them come in various configurations for different prices and those decisions are really based around your budget and long term plans for the radio. If I were starting out I would want something with hall gimbals, ELRS built in, and in the $130 range since that combo will last a good long while and be compatible with lots of newer things. Whatever you do, I would stay away from the BetaFPV radios even though they are very budget friendly...they tend to not last long at all.
@@BaconNinjaFPV Thank you very much for the answer! Zorro looks the most interesting to me! The only problem is that so far the version with elrs is a bit difficult to buy, they are sold out on most sites
Even with these settings the thing is so damn floaty that me, Mr Noob, is getting discouraged and start thinking that I will have to crash real drones to get some actual training. OR that flying fpv is just too hard and not enjoyable at all. I keep feeling the urge to pogo-stick the ground to keep any semblence of control... OR that my tx16s sucks somehow
lol, the struggle is real with sims and I really hope you dont get discouraged. No sim is perfect, and there isn't any substitute for real world stick time...but we try to get close. If it is still floaty, you might try lowering the prop thrust some more until it doesn't. I suspect what you may be feeling is just the power of the quad and air mode being on. Real world quads can be a bit floaty too if their thrust to weight ratio is pretty high. One other thing to try is upping your camera angle so that the thrust vector is less downward and more forward. That should make the float less significant too, as long as you are cool with going faster. FPV is hard for sure, and that bouncing off the ground stuff is all part of throttle control. You will get there if you just stay on those sticks!! Never surrender!
Hi there i could not find the settibg "Frame lift" in Quad settings that you talked about. I think my VD is a higher software level but i still was not able to find any settings to help in the floaty issue? Thnks for your video!
I will for sure have to take a look at mine and see what that option has turned into now. I will let you know what I find!
@@BaconNinjaFPV Oh man that would be great because im having the "Floaty" issue affect my VD sim and its agravating. Right now the vd quad is nothing like in reality even tho im using a good model.
Have you tried the DRL sim yet?
I have! It's not too bad. A little floaty for my taste, and there isn't much configuration to mess with so I can't really get it to feel much better :(. It is great for the kind of racing it shows off though!
Hi what can you guys reco , controller for simulator, planning to play 300hrs minimum in simulator before I engage in the real thing :) thank you
Does anyone know if there's a video showing settings for Uncrashed, or one can apply these as well?
Hey Bacon, I hope you can help me? I purchased Velocidrone and downloaded the sim. It took a couple of hours to download. Anyway, when it was done I entered the game. I still need to setup my Tx16S but it was late at night so I logged out thinking I can log back in in the morning to continue the setup. Here is my challenge. I can log in but can't find my way passed the home page and into the game. Any suggestions?
Gotta love computers! lol. Are you saying that you can log into windows but can't find the icon for the game, or that you can find the icon for the game but when you run it and it brings up the main menu you aren't sure what to do next?
@@BaconNinjaFPV I actually stumbled upon it somehow. There's no icon for it but it sure would be nice. Now I'm trying to find a different scenery setting. No matter what I do I keep getting the same boring river pylon track.
There is no icon for it and I can't find a way to enter the sim anymore. I don't know how I did earlier but I can't anymore. I'm not a computer guy.
how do u get the nazgul on velocidrone
to get the nazgul you have to have the freestyle pack, which is an add on to the base game price :( It is ok though, because basically any freestyle frame with a true X layout will work just fine. The styling really doesn't do anything to adjust the feel of the quad, just make it look cool!
What does prop wash mean?
the prop wash option in there means that the sim will emulate the real world appearance of prop wash. It is what happens when your props stall a bit in dirty air or in certain conditions and it causes the quad to bobble or shake a bit. The sim honestly isn't great at emulating it, but it will try if you move that slider up and tell it to.
How do I switch from opentx to edge TX?
The process is basically going through your models and backing them up to the SD card, then taking that SD card and making a backup on your computer. From there you can install EdgeTX companion on your computer and run through the flashing process over USB. Once you have that done, you can take your model backups and put them back on the SD card so you can move them back to your radio. I plan on doing a video about it at some point :)
@@BaconNinjaFPVThank you. Can you do a video going through this?
i just put edgetx on my radio, how do i enable the better simulator performance? Do i need to make a specific model with the baudrate set up to super high for 500hz? But with RF off there is no baud rate?
good question! The real magic of what EdgeTX is doing is with the mixer polling the sticks and timing on the USB connection. You will want to create a model (I usually copy one that I already like) and change it to have the module turned off during use. There isn't anything that I know of you should change about baud rates since you will just be using the USB connection which handles negotiating that its self. EdgeTX just polls the sticks more often and is better about consistently sending that data out over the USB interface than OpenTX was, and that is what makes it quicker :)
@@BaconNinjaFPV so with internal and external rf off it by default polls the gimbals at max rate? I know in my crossfire module i can set the polling rate higher than 150hz and then it stops working.
