So it's Now December 2, and so far the sim doesn't work with my old Ipad Air, 1st gen.
Tried to run it anyhow, and see if I could trick it into working. Login screens all messed up.
Another sim I saw in apple store looks pretty good.
It does have the FPV in one of the pictures, and it looks like fun.
Edit 12/03/2021 : Did some more searching this morning.
It's called DroneVR or Drone VR . Reading closer it needs a VR headset and doesn't look like
it works with goggles.
There's plenty of sims on Steam.
So, there are sims. From other users comments, the DJI sim is just marginal.
Buy a cheapy like a Mavic mini to practice with.
That's what I'm trying.
Get an app that simulates the 2 screens on a phone, a cheap headset holder and practice
with that. Be better than the sim because it's actual model to fly.
Another option would be to make the SDK & API packages available to outside developers. The obstacle here, is so many
Android phones from different companies. I've just started reading about that. Maybe somebody in the forum can answer.
Like, is the SDK and api the same general form or each company has it's own system ? I would guess, they are all different.
So where Apple is one system there's just too many variations in Android. Then which brand to support. That's a head scratcher to figure out.
The drones , plus extra batteries and accesories are really costly. They're in a hurry to get new models out.
DJI, being foreign based, shouldn't have a problem finding programmers.
I know here in the US, we have a labor shortage. Alot of people want a high paying job, but don't
want to do the actual work it takes, to get to that point.
I've read alot about programming, watched a number of programming videos,
and even signed up to take a couple of programming courses.
It's difficult material. I get it.
Another obstacle in the US, is the cost of college has become terribly expensive.
I'm sure in China, and Europe education is available if you have the scores to get in.
I went to college more than 20 years ago. Was expensive then. and now sheesh.
Hard to understand from outside the company.
