DJI Virtual Flight

I’ve had DJI GPS based drones for a few years. Although fun and allowed me to take my eyes to the sky much cheaper compared to fixed wing, I’ve always felt a rush watching FPV videos. I’ve really wanted to dive into FPV for years but didn’t know where to start. The DJI FPV kit has helped me get the goggles strapped on. The app itself has potential but I feel the feedback of the controls are probably laggy compared to flying the fpv in real life. I also find the goggles freezing every 5-10mins and have to turn them off and back on and restart the app. The app is still running on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, but froze on the goggles. I’m trying to use this as a tool to hone in on some experience before I even think about acro in real life, but the constant goggle crash is leaving me to consider alternate simulator options. I own 5 drones and every drone is DJI. It’s the only drone brand I’ve bought. I feel I’ve showed my commitment to DJI so please show your commitment to your supporters/purchasers and fix the app.

Just bought the Dji Fpv last week and downloaded this app, it is pretty much unusable with the goggles since it glitches and crashes repeatedly, the video on the goggles is barely watchable because of interference and glitches, the feed cuts in and out and than the goggles crash and reboot. I can’t even get through the first minutes of the tutorial before the goggles glitch out and reboot making me start the tutorial all over again. That is pretty much necessary since i can't even see whats going on in the tutorial because the video is constantly glitching or getting video snow in the image. I thankfully got to know about another game called liftoff on stream that i have been using to practice its good for the basics but does not cover the functions or buttons on the controller. Still when you buy a expensive piece of equipment like this than this is just unacceptable. If you want to fly in manual mode (that is the main reason for buying this drone) you need to practice before! When investing this much money on a drone that you need to practice on before you fly than this NEEDS TO WORK!

Overall this app is great for its intended purpose, but it’s still a simulation so it may not be exactly what the real life experience is like. With that this is a great tool to get your muscle memory started, learning how to do coordinated turns and such. As for the cons, this version every once and a while will just stop. Not the whole program, just the drone. It’s like it hits something mid-air, but there is nothing nearby. The drone feels a little “floaty” sometimes. Also it seems to fly slow. In real life I fly with ~20 degree camera angle, but in the simulator I run ~35 to get the same speed. Overall I highly recommend this for anyone starting to fly their DJI FPV before going in manual in real life.
