I am new too the hobby. Bought myself a RTF quad with FPV, but not the goggles. Heard about Liftoff through you guys, bought it downloaded it. Did a few hours with the tutorial, and a few free flight in the simulator. I got my FPV goggles, first flight in the field, I went straight to full Acro mode, (I normally fly self leveling mode in LOS) was flying well enough, just need to work on my landings now. The simulator is a great training tool!

I'm practicing with Liftoff too, I can fly in acro, but it's not really clear how to land. I imagine that in real life, the first time I'll try a real drone I'll take off in level and switch to level when I want to land, else it looks like a suicidal in your first flight to take off and land in acro, even after hours of training with Liftoff. I mean what if the transmitter was not set correctly etc. at least in level you expect the quad not to do crazy things...

Mostly lost interest in the hobby, but simulator did help me a lot. If I did it again I would with get the simulator first then the drone

I've been flying Liftoff for a few months now and I like it. I have learned a lot and now am not afraid to go to the park and have fun :)

Oh shit guys!!! Thank you so much!! I've been flying liftoff for a long time. And now you've opened it up to a ton of people!!! The lobby is always very skim.

I didn't realize Liftoff was this good for acro freestyle. thank you for this.

i bought this simulator a while ago and I love it! it's helped me get over the self level crutch and now i'm training to enter a race team!!! This simulator is perfect for anyone who wants to learn to fly, or wants to practice but doesn't have the time! 100% recommend this to anyone!

the scenery / location looks amazing. i love the forest and basement parking!

You have inspired me to go play Liftoff again. I bought it months ago and played for a week, got busy and forgot about it. It is awesome a woth every penny.

Flyin High FPV that's AWESOME! Such a great sim!

i just started to use liftoff to learn to fly, and your advice about flying it like it is your own $500 drone is priceless. i don't even own an expensive drone yet, but your comment makes sense because it's easy to just go full throttle on everything thinking that's the best and fastest way to learn when in reality it's just slowing you down and getting you frustrated. And your advice about using it for drills is great. The technique of drilling is boring and that's why it is highly underrated. That's why only the better to elite athletes, gamesmen, hobbyists, and professionals understand the true value of this training concept. thanks.

lift off has helped me get better at acro flying, could not do it a few weeks ago now all i do is acro mode lovin it thanks Lift off!!!!

Met the creators of Liftoff a few times (their office is 50 miles from my home) and they really understand and listen to the FPV community 👍

I can not describe how much I appreciate FliteTest's credibility. As soon as I heard what it was and that FliteTest contacted them because they just liked the product and wanted to talk about it, I knew I wanted it. I have been wanting to start flying drones for so long now, but have never really afforded it. I know this isn't the same, but it's going to give me a great indication as to if saving up for a drone is worth it for me. You may have caused a spark in me that will grow to a passionate fire for flight, FlitetTest. Thank you for that. (Yes, I'm aware of how cheesy that was.)

DawntreaderUK that is a good point my friend! Using a real transmitter will DEF give the best feel best experience!

having liftoff for months now i can say it's the best evolving simulator for FPV kwads. it's getting better by the patch...it really helps to learn tricks and helps you gain confidence without exploding the kwad :D

I got to test this little thing 2 years ago in geneva at a game convention while it was still in development, and got to speak with the guys from LuGus. After about 15 minutes of getting to know the controls, I was 3D-ing the heck out of the drones, despite not having any prior experience with drones. Great fun, and easy to get into.

This was the perfect video to answer my question! I just got into the hobby and the first thing I bought was a radio and I downloaded the DRL sim to practice. It's taught me how to handle the controls but Liftoff seems like it would be more realistic! So thank you for this!

Loved this game since the day it came out. Learned me to fly before i bought my first fpv drone

Great video guys .I have learned much . Subbed.

I had noticed Alex's freestyle flying had improved noticeably recently and he mentioned that he had started using Liftoff. I immediately got it too and I like it a lot more than the DRL simulator that I had been using. It has also improved my abilities.

Thank you so much for this! Really like the thoughts about "pretend you're really flying" and the "click" effect in reality after doing powerloops on the sim for long enough ;-) I am still new, already at my second build though, and love this awesome playfield of improving to be an artful flying bird up there ;-) Have fun and thanks a lot again ;)

I love liftoff. I started with a xbox controller then bought a Turnigy Evolution which will hook right up. Definitely a great way to learn to fly.

Great video guys!!

Wow! Only $19.99 not on sale... And $16.99 ON SALE.....! AWESOME!

I got this when it was still early access on Steam...its definitely the cheapest way to learn acro mode. Don't use a xbox/console controller though. They're too sensitive and they all have "return to center" sticks. You need a dead throttle stick with longer throws to learn how to fly hobby-grade quads. I bought a RTF Walkera Rodeo 150 earlier this year and the Devo 7 transmitter included a cable to connect the controller to the PC.

Udit Gupta just buy a USB PC gaming controler on eBay or flash sale from gearbest or something...find a price you like and buy it. $15-20 will get you a kick ass controller or spend less and get a less fancy one

I play fpv event 250/rotor rush, but I may have to try lift off since it's been updated quite a bit from the beginning...

I try to use LiftOff whenever I have spare time. I tried DRL and while cool, DRL doesn't feel as realistic as LiftOff. I've been recommending LiftOff to all my friends. I truly believe sims help young and older people improve their flying skills. I remember back in 2005 learning to fly RC planes in just one day after training on the sim for a month or so. Also helps to start with a not so expensive drone or rc plane to take away the anxiety of an expensive crash.

Been using lift off for months - pleased they are introducing the bouncing of objects... sometimes it's felt like you're flying a drone covered in Velcro through Velcro gates !! :D

I miss my gaming PC now, running this on my MacBook air is a struggle.:D

First off thank you guys for the constant amazing content. I have been heavily interested in fpv for awhile now and doing as much research as possible. Being that I'm at that wonderful adult stage where "fun money" is minimal. I feel like getting a transmitter and a simulator like this would be a very cost effective way to get through the bumps and bruises of learning to fly. Would this be a good way to start? Fly the simulators and get comfortable before even building a quad copter, or will I be developing bad habits? Thank you for your input.

I was watching drone racing and I just thought this would be cool as hell to be a game but I didn’t know how to make a game. This game right here is exactly what I imagined it would be, it’s so cool to see this game in real life

Love liftoff, I was using free rider but this is a definite upgrade.

I purchased real flight 7.5 awhile back when I was still in the process of building my plane (balsa)... I was a total noob to rc, but gave me a huge advance to my maiden flight. Practiced landings over and over for days.

Can I play it with an VR headset like the oculus rift or the HTC Vive?

FPV Airtracks is a decent free one to try. I tried DRL but found it hard to setup with my DX6. Might consider purchasing this when winter sets in.

Love the video awesome

Thanks guys! I will be buying liftoff! I am a beginner and I tried out velocidrone and it doesn’t seem beginner friendly.

Question i have a spectrum radio what else do i need to fly with it

I spent a couple hundred hours in LiftOff before building my first micro quad. My first real flight was fantastic and way more fun that I thought it would be.

I've been playing liftoff every day with my fatshark dominator hd3's that I bought from you! It's so awesome!

I can actually get through a DRL sim course now when before i couldn't get past the first turn LOL. So Big thank you for this video and for referring LIFTOFF!

Love it! Any chance the Versacopter v2 and FT210 being added? Can't wait to give this a shot once we get our new pc. Will be using the Versacopter v2 for a trainer for our FTSTEM and will be using the FT210 as a practice racer. Also Graupner Radios.

My buddy Travis and I do multiplayer. Good practice and fun.

just got into fpv thanks guys

It's the end if 2019 and Liftoff is still going strong. Still updates with new features and maps and still has an active player base. Still the best drone sim out imho.

I've heard many people say that Velocidrone has much more realistic physics, which is why I got it and I love it :)

20x30 inches iirc

Really interested. do you need to have a special Lead to use with your transmitter or can I use a aux cord. I fly with a dx6i

ive been using fpv freerider which is heaps of fun and a great tool but it docent have the customization feature!!

I use PhoenixRC 5.5 for everything but multi rotors, and use DRL for multi rotors. PhoenixRC with a entry level transmitter (DXe) runs around $120.DRL is free online. Also you can use a ps4//xbox control to play , but the point is to "Learn the Sticks" so whatever simulator you choose get a real transmitter to go with it. You don't have to burn you wallet either, a 6 channel Tx is a good start point in my opinion.

Hi, I'm planning on using my dx6i controller for Liftoff. Any suggestions on what usb to transmitter cord I should order?

Velocidrone is good too

Can you use the freerider settings on a taranus be used for lift off?Don't want to set up new model.

Really nice! But I was hoping you guys show how to connect the control to the computer. (Yes, I'm completely noob at all of that!)

simulator of my choice. thank you

Are you guys planning on going to the Props and Pistons air show in Akron?

Just a quick question for you guys. Do you know if this sim would work with the same transmitter you get with the Walkera 110 FPV quad?

Trying liftoff with an ps4 controller made me start with this fpv hobby. Now my bank is empty and the first micro quad is crashed 😂 love liftoff tho, getting my pilot skils real fast without the need to buy new quads all the time 😁

It would be an awesome feature if you were able to set spawn points on a map while playing. Ex. Say you really like a certain part of a map and the spawn point you start at is far away. Another example would be in Skate 3, you can set spawn points anywhere while playing. I hope this makes sense. Thank you!

Best freestyle set up? Fastest race setup?

I just bought it from your store. I was on there looking for a good starter quad setup, realizing I've never flown anything (other then the cheap toy copters years ago) I seen this and at that price point, I could not have found anything better to test if I wanted to fly down that rabbit hole. After trying to fly around on my PS3 controller, I'm ready to buy my first transmitter. If I say it's a long-term 'investment', maybe I wont be put in the doghouse for the $280 I want to spend. :P Or just get her hooked on it too!

I'll say this for the RealFlight series of simulators: I flew fixed wing on those exclusively, long before I ever attempted to fly a real fixed wing r/c. Then one day, my father, with decades of real r/c experience, let me fly one of his planes. He told me I was a better pilot than he felt like he was, and, I landed the first attempt without crashing. This was a feat that took him many months to accomplish when he first started flying.

Suggested controller to use with this in 2018?

I know I'm late to the game but do I need any special cables for the Taranis QX7?

yay new video!!!!

2:47 Who flew that!? That was awesome!

Thank you i have instal the fvp drone simulator from steam, but i think it was to smooth, and the power of the motor was not good

Is that F-18 in the background a kit? How did you do the skinning?

im finding lift off to way too sensitive on my xbox controller i can go up fast but foward momentum on the pitch is too much same as the roll dynamics and feels nothing like flying my real drone in comparison i know its a sim but any help is appreciated on getting the controls more dialled in
