![]() ![]() I finally decided if I don't, I'll never know. and I knew it was going to be a hefty chunk of change. I thought long and hard, do I want to go further, because I had made up my shopping list of premium grade equipment. That's where I recommend most people stop until they put at least 500 hours into a sim. It's a radio that should hold it's value for a good while to come.Īt the point I had Liftoff ($20), Velocidrone ($10) and an Interlink controller ($30), I was about $60 in. If you've grown bored of it, you can always sell the TX-16s and get a pretty good return on it and even turn a profit oddly enough. But you end up constantly having to redetected the controller for some reason.įourth, don't buy a thing more until you've put at least 500 hours in the Sim and can fly like a pro. I cheaped out in the beginning and started with an ebay Real Flight Interlink USB controller for $30. The TX-16s HAL a big expenditure, but you want to fly in the sim the same as you'll fly in real life. I guess you could cheapout with a Taranis, or lower Radiomaster versions, but that's my recommendation. Third, buy yourself a Radiomaster TX-16s HAL version (and batteries), with or without the Crossfire Micro V2. You progress rapidly in the sim if you play every day just to have fun. People try to learn on real life hardware from teh start, I'm sure, and I'm also sure it's very slow going and costly. To learn flying, you basically crash your way a million times over to success. You'll spend most of your time in the sim, at least I do, because flying in a sim is consequence and damage free. I think you're mostly wasting your time in anything else atm. Second, get yourself a copy of Liftoff, I think it's around $20. It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest computer, just as stated above. here: įirst: Don't even think about getting into this hobby unless you have a basic gaming computer and you have basic PC tech building and soldering skills. See my recommended Liftoff rates to start off with to fly butter pecan ice cream flowtastic with. The rates on all of them in the Flight Settings screen are set way too high by default, including the rates in real life Betaflight. Can't comment about Mac / Playstation versions. Like I said, 740 or higher, or whatever the AMD/Radeon equivalent would be. ![]() to practice cinematic flying as opposed to aerobatic flying. I even run it on a Geforce 520 in Best Speed mode, where the frame rates are rather poor. ![]() Any quadcore with a Geforce 960 or higher should be fine I would think. Liftoff will run fine on a quadcore with at least a Geforce 740 card or higher, but my main machine uses a Geforce 1070 which is overkill. For me, it's all about the improvised aerobatic freestyle, so Liftoff stands miles above the pack currently for freestyle. it's a decent racer if that's your thing and stats and leader boards to you are just a bad joke ego thing. though I only race around tree trunks, and have run some of the standard races. I've seen guys like Hyper on a Bardwell do some insane times in Liftoff. Liftoff is coming out with a racing version. 1,100+ hours in Liftoff and constantly climbing - 95% of that spent on The Green in Freeflight mode. Learned how to turn in the subway levels, which was crazy and rather frustrating, in retrospect. I started with it because it would run for sure on a low spec machine. I visit it once a year maybe for the wacky levels, but it's not the best flying. 10 hours in Velocidrone maybe, it doesn't keep record. No free flight mode, which is a shame, but you can ignore the race and free fly acro which is what I do, but it's not particularly enjoyable acro. I loathe the hard to see track course lines. Paid for, just to fly more Levels than Liftoff had, but currently uninstalled with no plans to ever fly it again. He for sure needs some Level Lord other than himself. If you could integrate one proceedurally generated level into it, it might have a future. if I thought it had potential and was for sale, but still, a hella lot more work is needed on it. I would buy it off of him, bundle it up with a game controller, and sell it as a starter kit for beginners. Wouldn't recommend learning to fly with it. He's established a working Beachhead, that's about all you can say about it so far. I have played Liftoff, Velocidrone, DRL, and CurryKitten's, Amdrpod apps, etc. ![]()
