Now Google Cardboard VR is also supported for immersive flying and FPV experience. Support for Controllers Please note that this a simulator and Not a game. It is designed for RC enthusiasts to practice Flying skills. Basic Tutorial for beginner is in the above description video. Features: 1) Based on real physics Model of Quadcopter 2) Interactive selection of different cameras modes: * Eye level Camera * First Person View Camera * Stabilized Gimbal Camera * Follow Camera You can walk around while flying, looking at the quad either by dragging the middle of screen or by enabling accelerometer button on the left side in the Eye level Camera Mode.. 3) Return to Location (RTL) When on the Quad will automatically Return and Land back in its Landing Position. It will Automatically switch on when the Quad goes out of range. 4) Position Hold When ON the Quad will try to Hold its position when both control sticks are released. 5) Course Lock When ON the Forward, Backward, Left and Right will remain same regardless of orientation of Quad. e.g. Moving Right stick Forward will always make the Quad go forward in East Direction even if its pointing towards north. 6) Home Lock When ON the Forward will always be Away from you and Backwards will always be towards you regardless of Quads Orientation. 7) Heads up Display(HUD) Displaying real-time Pitch, Roll, Heading, Altitude and Speed. 8) Adjustable Control sensitivity Settings 9) Auto Stabilizing adjustable 10) Altitude Hold Switch If ON the quad will try to maintain the altitude when it was switched on. 11) Advanced Settings If enabled users can change the Total Weight, Static / Dynamic thrust, PID setting and Aerodynamic Drag values. 12) Multiple Quad / Scene Selection / Some basic Challenges for Time Pass.. 13) Multiple mode Input Support. Now it supports mode1, mode2. mode3, mode4 and accelerometers. You can change via settings page 14) Camera rotation in FPV and Gimbal camera. Click and Drag from center of screen on FPV or Gimbal camera. Double click in center to reset. 15) Dynamic Wind Wind effect will reduce when behind the building. 16) Google cardboard Support for immersive virtual reality and FPV experience. Make sure that you have a controller attached to the device because the only way you can control the quadcopter is by controller once the Cardboard VR is enabled. After enabling you have to gaze at the buttons on the UI and press the trigger button on the cardboard to click it. Once you are flying then pressing the trigger anywhere will open the settings page. You can also touch on screen anywhere to execute trigger event instead of pressing the trigger button. 17) Max Tilt Angle / Auto Stabilize Sensitivity Slider In Normal Mode the slider changes the Maximum Tilt angle setting. This settings determines the maximum roll / pitch angle the quadcopter will tilt. In Sports Mode it changes the Auto Stabilize sensitivity. The higher the settings the more force is applied to stabilize the quadcopter. 18) Acro / Acro 3d mode for expert flying Auto stabilize will not be applied in these modes. You need to be expert to fly in this mode.In 3D Mode is mode in which the Quadcopter can fly upside down also. The throttle sticks will produce reverse thrust when moved down from the center position. Enjoy Flying..

I was able to connect my controller but am unable to get the VR working (my reason for purchase). Don’t make the same mistake I did!! ### 4/5 — The best out there yet..... *2021-08-22, version 1.77* Physics feel good, with a physical controller and a large screen (lPad pro) this rivals the big boys running on desktop boxes. The only thing I would like to see so far (after about an hour on my iPad mini) is an option for course lock in any direction (I can only use east as a course for locking), and better gimbal control in flight. I highly recommend this for practicing camera maneuvers on a DJI bird that otherwise takes lots of battery to learn. ### 5/5 — Controller???????? *2021-01-11, version 1.77* Hello, what controller can I use for this app to my iPhone? Or is there a certain controller?? Can I use it Bluetooth, or connected? Regards ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-12-12, version 1.77* I just wasted $5. I bought this app because it worked with Mac and it was supposed to be compatible with all drone controllers. I thought that meant i could use one of my drone controllers with it, but i was wrong! Just stupid controls on the screen that providd an experience that is nothing like flying a real drone. I pribably should've just tried the free version first. Unless i can use thix with my real controllers, this is just wasting space on my iPad. ### 4/5 — I’ll rate this app higher if... *2020-05-30, version 1.77* I’ll rate this app higher if u fix da VR feature. While I can link any controller via Bluetooth, having 2 figure out which button 2 press 4 VR capabilities is frustrating. I linked a PS4 controller 2 my phone and tried 2 press every button 4 VR. Fix dis! It’s been around 4 years since ur last update also? ### 1/5 — Steelseries Nimbus doesn’t work!! *2020-01-06, version 1.77* Was excited to get in some stock time on my phone but the Bluetooth controller doesn’t work with this. Please help!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-11-02, version 1.77* Ok... so I use this app on my android phone with my frisky controller and it works... but on my iPad, this app doesn’t recognize any controller at all.... I need my money back!!!! ### 5/5 — Quadcopter fx simulator *2019-07-04, version 1.77* A absolutely fantastic drone in anyway possible so realistic fantastic flys like the real thing I like the way it returns home best drone on the App Store love it love Apple thanks guys. Richard the dragon Creighton 10 stars ### 2/5 — Disappointing VR cardboard function *2019-05-14, version 1.77* Very disappointed that the VR cardboard function does not work on the iPhone 6 which has the latest software. Have tried it on 2 iPhone 6 phones and reinstalled twice. Good app otherwise. ### 4/5 — PLEASE ADD A PARK OR SOMETHING *2018-07-27, version 1.77* Gates or some type of fun environment with colors. The maps are so full and boring. 5 stars if u add better maps ## Frequently asked questions about QuadcopterFx Simulator ### What is QuadcopterFx Simulator?

We also have 2 stability modes in this update. The default mode is based on maximum tilt angle. For older style stability sports mode can be turned on. Then the maximum tilt angle slider will change to autostability sensitivity slider which can be reduced along with the D and I values in PID to perform 360 rolls. Note: Changing advanced settings can result in unexpected behavior but you can always press the default button. We also recommend pressing defaults button in settings page when updating from previous version. ### 1.61 — 2014-09-24 Solved Screen Orientation Problem in iOS 8 ### 1.6 — 2014-08-20 Changed Altitude Settings in Return to location.
