Damn, I had purchased the DJI FPV drone yesterday with the intention of being able to log a few hours in the simulator before I took it outside. I had no idea you needed to have a apple product to use it. Wish I had known this before...
I got my DJI FPV last month, and I'd very much like to get some sim time before going to manual. But I'm an Android user, so that's apparently not to be.
However, if you're at all familiar with DJI drones, you don't need a simulator to fly the FPV in Normal Mode. In Normal Mode, it's basically a big, fat, fast, powerful Mini-2. My adjustment period was minimal, minutes.
I stayed in Normal Mode for a couple of weeks, and now I'm in Sport Mode. While I'd prefer some sim time before going to Manual Mode, I expect to be comfortable enough with the drone to try it by June 1st, a little bit at a time. I intend to get very familiar with the "Brake" before going very far from my driveway!
Apparently, the almost infinite variety of Android devices is what makes it hard to develop for them. Since iOS stuff is more tightly controlled, it's easier to write SW that will reliably work on all iOS devices, than it is to write for Android.
The Android sim will probably come out the week after I don't need it anymore!
