• An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. Mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes.

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

RC Quadcopter Racing Simulator.

First person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying available.

Supports mode 1,2,3 and 4.

It is highly recommended to use a USB controller. Most USB controllers should work*

Includes self-leveling and acro mode. In the full version 3d flight mode is also available (for inverted flying).

Six sceneries are included as well as a Racetrack Generator that can generate millions of tracks automatically using procedural generation. There is a demo version that you can try for free which includes one scenery. The demo has a deliberately sluggish quad setup. In the full version you have the ability to adjust settings for input rates, camera and physics precisely to your liking.

Fly (and crash!) all you want regardless of rain, wind, sleet or snow - all for the price of a few replacement props.

Ok glad that you are at least able to fly using the Xbox controller. Of course it's a lot nicer to use an actual radio, so I hope you will be able to get it working. Perhaps you need to check out the Windows 10 update document (link in the above post), there are also a lot of videos on youtube videos that speaks of how some Windows 10 update broke the USB drivers (not just for Freerider) and that shows how to fix it.

Make sure you select 'Joystick' as connection method when you plug in in (not 'Mass storage').

What operating system are you running it on?

Do you get any movement of the little circles as you go through the Calibrate Controller procedure in Freerider?

There was an automatic Windows 10 update that rolled out some time ago that broke the USB drivers. Not sure if that affects you, but you can find more information here.

Also, there is some general tips in the user manual that you can check out.

Glad to hear that it is working fine on your setup, thanks for sharing!

I haven't tried that radio but I think there's a good chance it should work. On Android, make sure you connect using a USB OTG adapter (which is not the same as a regular USB cable). Also make sure you select joystick emulation on the radio when connecting (not mass storage).

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. It is possible to get multiple licenses at a discounted price for use in a school setting, please contact fpvfreerider@gmail.com for more info.

Probabilmente è perché Apple sta facendo del suo meglio per impedire l'installazione di app non ufficiali. Hai provato i suggerimenti nelle istruzioni di installazione? Di solito il metodo 'chmod + x' funziona. Assicurati di inserire il percorso corretto per l'app.

1. If you unzip the file on a Windows machine and transfer the file to your Mac with a USB stick it might work.
I have also heard that it works if you download the zip using Chrome on MacOS and extract with Keka or Unarchive app.

2. MacOS is picky about which programs can be run (the first time) by double-clicking. To run a program that says 'this can't be opened', right-click the icon and choose 'Open'. You'll be given an option to open the program, and from then on it won't bug you.

3. For Mac's having trouble installing FPV Freerider try going to the Mac's System Preferences>Security and Privacy> General Tab and check the box 'Anywhere' to see if this allows your Mac to install FPV Freerider.

4. For anybody who is still having the issue of the simulator not opening you need to open up terminal and type sudo chmode +x (fpvfreerider.app) and that should do it.
It should look something like:
chmod +x '/Applications/FPVFreerider.app/Contents/MacOS/FPVFreerider'
or
~ chmod +x /Applications/FPVFreerider/Contents/MacOS/FPVFreerider
(adding sudo at the start if needed).

After that you might need to go to your Mac menu System Preferences>Security & Privacy

If it says something like 'Freerider was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer' you need to select 'Open Anyway'.

Not sure, I haven't tried it myself. If you already have a setup you can download the free version of Freerider to try it.

If you keep an eye on the little circles above the OK button as you go through calibration in Freerider, what kind of input are you getting? Are you able to move some of the circles smoothly up and down?

I see, well I'm not a Mac user myself so I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to MacOS specific stuff.

I would still suggest trying to start from scratch as much as possible, deleting the earlier versions and re-installing the full version.

The first thing I would do, unless you have already done so, is to simply restart the computer and see if that makes a difference.

(One more thing, you could try to go into the save game data of Freerider and see if perhaps something went wrong there. If the data somehow got messed up you might be able to get it working by deleting the old save data. The data is stored at: ~/Library/Preferences/Freerider (or something similar to that) )

Hmmm that is very strange. Installing the full version shouldn't affect the demo, or vice versa.

If you have already tried all other reasonable approaches, this is what I would do:

- Delete both the demo and the full version from your computer.

- Restart your computer.

- Download the zip file for the full version again (just in case there was some error in the download)

- Unzip the full version, possible to another folder on your hard drive

- Re-connect your transmitter. Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/controllers connected at the same time as that might cause a conflict.

- Try to re-calibrate in Freerider

(As you may know there was an automatic Windows 10 update that rolled out some time ago that broke the USB drivers. I don't think that is the problem on your system though since you were using it without any problems basically just minutes before. I just thought I'd mention it anyway. You can find more information here).

Did you try to recalibrate in Freerider after it stopped working? Are you able to control any of the little circles above the OK button on the Calibrate Controller screen?

(The input system for the demo and the full version is exactly the same).

You might be able to get the Devo 7 connected using a 22 in 1 simulator dongle. Not sure if that particular transmitter/dongle/combination will work on a Mac though.

On Windows it might be possible to get the Devo 7 working as a joystick by connecting via a regular mono 3.5mm audio cable along with a software called Smartpropoplus.

Here is an equivalent to that software on Mac: https://github.com/albhm/macPPM

I haven't tried it though (I'm not a Mac user myself). It will probably require some serious hacking skills to get it working.

There is some more general information in the user manual.

I think one of the best options is to get a multi protocol radio, such as one of the Jumper radios. I think a Jumper T8SG can be found for about 90 USD for example. That can be used to fly most real RC models, as well as function as a USB joystick.

You might be able to find a Radiomaster TX16S for about the same price too (although the chepest version is not multi protocol out of the box as far as I know).

Perhaps there are cheaper multi protocol alternatives too. I recommend researching for find the best alternative for you.

Otherwise, if you don't need multi protocol, I think the Devo 7E for example can be found for about 75 USD. And the Turnigy-TGY-i6S for about 60USD. I think it will not be easy to find an option much cheaper these days.

(Perhaps if you get a dummy transmitter, but that can't be used for actual RC control of course. This is about 40 USD, not sure if it will work on a Mac though).

Gracias, he actualizado el manual con la solución que funcionó para usted

Hi, the Phoenix dongle only works with Phoenix (it's deliberate designed so by Phoenix).

Smartpropoplus Para Macbook

I'm not familiar with the JR transmitters myself but chances are you might get it working with a universal USB simulator dongle such as a '22 in 1' simulator cable that can be found in various places.

If that doesn't work out for you, you might get it working using the Smartpropoplus method mentioned in the manual.

(Sorry for the late reply, I must have somehow missed your post earlier).

Por lo general, el método 'chmod + x' funciona para la mayoría de las personas. Si lo ha probado todo y aún no puede hacerlo funcionar, puede solicitar un reembolso aquí en Itch.

No hay un documento específico para el FS-I6X, pero hay algunos videos en YouTube que muestran cómo hacer que funcione, por ejemplo, este.
Si necesita hacer ajustes en su transmisor para obtener la calibración correcta, debería poder encontrar instrucciones sobre cómo configurar los puntos finales en el manual de su transmisor.

Hello, generally speaking, in order for a transmitter to be possible to used for the simulator it either needs to have a USB port that can function as a USB joystick, or a 3.5mm trainer port.

(There is one more possibility, and that is if you can find a USB simulator dongle that has a built in RC receiver using the same protocol as your transmitter, or one that can be connected via a regular RC receiver (might quickly get complicated)).

1) no port no luck, 2) could at least in theory be used via a futaba compatible receiver and USB dongle combo, but it would take some hacking skills. 3) the Xiaomi 4K remote control can not be used as a joystick as far as I know (contact Xiaomi if you want to know for sure).

My best advice, if you are willing to invest a bit into the hobby, is to get a multi protocol transmitter such as the Jumper radios, or similar. Make sure you get one that can be used as a USB joystick.

If you just want to give the sim a quick try you can try to find a Playstation, Xbox, bluetooth gamepad or other similar gamepad that you might have laying around.

Glad to hear you got it working, thanks for sharing your solution!

It is only possible to install new maps on FPV Freerider Recharged (not the classic version of freerider).

Have you checked if the controller can be used as a USB joystick? (Sometimes the data cables provided by the manufacturer is only for firmware updates and such. The manufacturer should know, in case you are unable to get info from someone else with experience with the same controller).

The level editor will automatically save the level in the folder path where app is located on your hard drive.

You need to make sure that you have write permissions to that folder.

I'm not a Mac guy myself, but I believe you can find some info on how to do it here for example: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-permissions-for-files-folders-or-disks-mchlp1203/mac

(If you are unable to set the write permissions for the particular folder where it's currently located, perhaps you can move the entire app to another folder on your hard drive).

Hope that helps!

Not sure what the mystery controller might be. I use Unity's built in input manager for the controls, I don't think it can show the name of the controller it's actually reading. Also I'm not a Mac user myself so I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to Mac specific questions. At least on Windows joysticks/controllers that are being detected usually shoes up as a generic HID device in the operating systems device manager. Perhaps you could try to temporarily disable the last thing that you suspect might show up as a controller (although I wouldn't really recommended it if it is indeed some kind of security chip...).

My guess is it's the xbox 360 controller driver that doesn't get picked up as a joystick in Unity's input manager. Did you try to connect the controller without any extra drivers first? (A lot of the time generic gamepads automatically connects as joysticks, at least on Windows).

Hola,
No estoy seguro de si el Mavic mini o el Mando Mavic Air 2 se pueden conectar como un joystick USB.
Mi sugerencia sería consultar el manual del controlador Mavic o un foro dedicado a Mavic. Si se puede usar como un joystick USB, en términos generales podrás usarlo para volar FPV Freerider.
Existe una versión gratuita de Freerider que puedes probar para ver si funciona:

A medida que avanza en el procedimiento Calibrate Controller en Freerider, observe los pequeños círculos sobre el botón Aceptar. Debería poder mover algunos de los círculos pequeños suavemente hacia arriba y hacia abajo. ¿Tienes algún movimiento en los círculos?

Yes, I wish I knew what was the cause of the issue. Did you try the demo version of both FPV Freerider Classic and FPV Freerider Recharged, any difference there?

Sorry to hear that, I have no idea what might be the cause of that to be honest. I haven't heard of anyone else who has that particular issue. I should admit that I'm no Mac expert since I'm not a Mac user myself. (If the same thing would have happened on Windows I would have presumed that it is a graphics driver issue). If you ask for a refund here on Itch I'm sure they will be able to arrange that for you.

Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/input devices connected at the same time, that might cause a conflict.

You can find some general advice on how to get your controller connected in the user manual: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwSDHIR7yDwSelpqMlhaSzZOa1k/view?usp=sharing

What happens as you go through the calibrate controller procedure in Freerider, do you see any movement on the little dots above the OK button?

(By the way, since you are using a regular game controller you might want to have throttle zero at center selected on the main menu.)

Hi,

From what you describe it sounds like you need to make the setup accoring to the Tatanis setup document:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwSDHIR7yDwSOGhPMTFyWEpDVWM/view?usp=sharing

(The endpoints need to be set up to go from 0 to +100 instead of -100 to +100)

You can also find some general information in the manual:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwSDHIR7yDwSelpqMlhaSzZOa1k/view?usp=sharing

There are also many videos on Youtube that shows how the calibration procedure should look. For example:

youtube.com/watch?v=uNJw_RDCD78

Also, there was an automaitc Windows 10 update that broke the USB input on some machines. Don't know if it applies to you but I thought I might mention it just in case.SB drivers. You can find more information here:

If you can describe more clearly what the dots are doing during calibration (and later on the trim settings screen) I might be able to help.

Freerider should automatically use the resolution and refresh rate that your phone is set to.

Here is how to enable 120Hz on the Galaxy S20: https://www.howtogeek.com/660107/how-to-turn-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s20s-120hz-display/

Note that in order to actually get 120Hz update your phone needs to be powerful enough to render the scenes at full framerate. VR is also almost twice as demanding since it needs to render two camera views. You might need to select lower graphics quality than usual, and lower resolution.

It would be interesting to hear how it works,

Hi did you check this video:

It might give you some clue on how to get it working.

If you are not getting a result similar to that in the video, get back with more info and I might be able to help.

Since FPV Freerider Recharged requires more memory than the 100MB limit that is on the Google Play Store, it uses extension files which are downloaded during installation.
My guess is that when you cleared the storage the extension files got cleared, and Recharged can't run without those.
If you again clear all the cache and data, uninstall it, and then re-install it again it should download the extension files again.
(If it still doesn't work, perhaps there is something left behind which keeps it from making a complete re-installation. Perhaps you will then need to manually find the folder that is left behind and delete it manually. It might be located at something like '/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.Freeride.FreeriderRecharged' or 'Internal Storage/Android/Data/com.Freeride.FreeriderRecharged' )

As for going back to default settings, changing the rates etc., I would recommend using the presets on the top of the Custom Settings screen as a starting point. You can tweak the settings to your liking, and then keep your own settings for later by storing them in the User Preset A and B slots on the top of the Custom Settings screen.

Hope that helps

The Android and Windows versions are separate, they need to be purchased separately. The price point is set so low so that most people will be able to afford both if they want though.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for the throttle scaling unfortunately. All four control channels would need to be altered, and in addition to being scaled they also need to be moved (to go from 0 to +100 instead of -100 to +100). Sorry I couldn't give a more hopeful reply at this time.

Glad you managed to get it working!

Hope you will be able to get it running on Linux too.

You can see the install instructions for Linux for some possible clues:

FPV Freerider is distributed as a Linux executable, not a package. Create a 'bin' folder in your home directory (this isn't necessary but traditionally binary executables go in the bin folder). Unzip the FPVFreerider_linux.zip file into that directory. Open FPVFreerider. Right click on the appropriate executable for your system (32 or 64 bit), and select 'Properties'. Click the 'Permissions' tab. At the bottom of that tab check: 'Execute: Allow executing file as a program'. Now when you want to play, just double click that icon.

(When using a Taranis on Linux, the joystick driver by default adds some dead zone to the sticks around their center position. Running '$ jscal -c /dev/input/js0' and recalibrating the Taranis within Linux should remove the dead zone. Source: Joystick Emulation - Manual for OpenTX ).

Tip: If you are not able to run the sim on your Linux machine you might have to force Open GL:

user@computer:~$ ./FPVFreerider.x86_64 -force-opengl

Hope the new radio will work.

(I think it should be recognized by Freerider. However, some radios running OpenTX needs the endpoints to be set up according to this document. That might be a problem, since as far as I know it is not possible to change the settings on the BetaFPV Literadio2).

It is a known issue with recent versions of MacOS. It is very picky which applications can be run.

You can try one of the following solutions:

(Method 4 usually works for most people)

1. If you unzip the file on a Windows machine and transfer the file to your Mac with a USB stick it should work.

(I have also heard that it works if you download the zip using Chrome on MacOS and extract with Keka)

2. MacOS is picky about which programs can be run (the first time) by double-clicking. To run a program that says 'this can't be opened', right-click the icon and choose 'Open'. You'll be given an option to open the program, and from then on it won't bug you.

It should look something like:
chmod +x '/Applications/FPVFreerider.app/Contents/MacOS/FPVFreerider'
or
~ chmod +x /Applications/FPVFreerider/Contents/MacOS/FPVFreerider
(adding sudo at the start if needed).

After that you might need to go to your Mac menu System Preferences>Security & Privacy

If it says something like 'Freerider was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer' you need to select 'Open Anyway'.
