Bought the FPV setup late December '21.
Wanted to get some practice time using a drone simulator (Liftoff) before donning the headset and launching my drone but couldn't get the controller to work.
Although Windows recognized it (C5, HID Controller), it wasn't transmitting the inputs to my computer.
Found some info advising that the controller needs to be registered, activated and paired with the drone, along with having its Firmware updated, before it can be used in Liftoff. After doing this, the controller worked without further issues. I wish the YouTube influencers providing info on using the controller would have mentioned this important step. It would have saved me 2 days of frustration.
Also, I didn't want to miss the 48-hour window for getting DJI's Care Refresh coverage after registering and activating everything... so I had to cough up the dough to resolve my issue. A necessary evil... but I can appreciate it.
Hope someone else finds this as useful as I did.
Happy flying!! |
