@dhonielakers which controller do you use ? gamepad or drone radio ?

@dakilla gamepad

@dhonielakers if you use a gamepad disable the 'use directinput' option. Does GTA recognizes your gamepad ? (can you control the player or drive the cars) ? try to use the xbox360ce software if your gamepad is not complelty recognizes by GTA.

@dakilla I didn't use xbox360ce software but now everything is working and running well, thanks very good mod

New version 1.8.0 released :

- add a race system and the possibility to create your own race tracks (using the menyoo or map editor addons)
- add 6 race tracks
- change the default menu hotkeys to F10 (for compatibility with menyoo mod) (only affect new users or when after deleting quadcopter.json file)
- better minimap orientation when flying drone and use new icons
- add radio audio during flight (and ability to play your own music, see : https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/208767008/How-to-Play-Custom-Music-on-the-Self-Radio-station-in-GTAV-and-GTA-Online-on-PC)
- improved position and orientation of vehicles when launching urban rodeos to correctly place them in front of the player
- redesign of the direct input system to use calibration and configurable smoothing input
- add a manual stick calibration function as well as a self-calibration at startup
- add a help text in the controller sub-menu to identify the axis index that is being moved for the sticks assignment
- add propellers sounds during the rotations of the drone and at 0 throttle to simulate air mode

Dude I love you so much! Best update yet!

@TheDivineSage thanks bro. The radio was a good idea 😁

For info I created I discord if you to talk about this simulator. https://discord.gg/UU9qKQXCRa

I've seen FPV drone vids on YT, but bringing all of this to V is actually pretty awesome

yes you never get bored on the huge map of GTA with all its activities. you can fly drone for hours. and bonus you improve your flying skills for irl ;)

1.9.0 is great! The biggest upgrade so far, the physics are very realistic, and you can see the motor thrust of the throttle in real time. Revolutionary update!

this mod can only use the gamepad to fly, can't you use the keyboard to control it? After I press G to start flying, the drone automatically rises, and I can't control it

@JoyLucien Sorry but this mod is a real FPV drone simulator and not a simple game with a drone. It is intended for experienced drone pilots who want to improve their piloting skills, freestyle techniques or for beginners who want to learn how to fly with a real drone. It's not a simple mod or game that can be played with a keyboard, in fact even a gamepad is not recommended, a real drone radio controller is recommended or even essential. So indeed this mod is not recommended for everyone, thank you for reminding us.

@dakilla Yes, I tried it with a gamepad later, and it was really hard to control. By the way, which button should be used to launch the drone weapon? I have enabled it in the settings (I think the method is correct). I don’t know how to operate it. Can you explain it in detail in GitHub. Can you add a function to control the drone lens with the mouse in the future?

Didn't see anybody else mention it so I decided to add this comment. After a load up in my game and press G, I am able to fly for around 10-15 minutes but then it seems like the mod crashes or something because my fps goes from 30 to around 3-5 fps. I checked my gpu temps so I don't think it is a hardware issue. I have the files installed correctly. I have the latest script hook v and script hook v dot net, and I checked all the log files. It only started happening recently. I uninstalled every other mod I had just to make sure. Don't know what the problem is. The only thing out of the ordinary that I saw is that there was nothing in the Quadcopter-Redux.log file.

@JoyLucien If f you use a gamepad, the fire button is RT (based on the xbox gamepad), you can use xbox360ce to emulate this gamepad is you have a generic gamepad. In drone menu (F10) in Weapons, you can assign 2 weapons when fireing, just select the desired weapons or explosions. As I said this mod is mainly made to be controlled with a real radio controller like other drone simulators, using a gamepad is quite uncontrollable so there won't be too much improvement in this direction.

@aydon14 Someone on discord reported this problem, he followed some tips from this video to fix the issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m8Q2yqkz0g
if your problem persists contact me on discord, I will make you test a beta version if you want.

Got it to work using the video. Thanks!

@dakilla Does the phone have similar software that can simulate the radio controller of the drone?
