1. Plug in your radio to the computer, choose Joystick mode if prompted from the radio.
2. Launch the game, go to Options -> Radio & Gamepad
3. If you are using DJI controller or X-Lite controller, be sure to choose the correct controller type. Otherwise, leave it as "Generic"
4. Then click on the "Calibrate Controller/Gamepad" button to enter the calibration tool
5. Follow the instruction in the tool to finish calibration.
If you have a less powerful hardware or simply want higher frame rate, set the video quality to low.
You can use NVIDIA performance stats (Alt + R) to see where the bottleneck is. If CPU is the bottleneck, you can tune up the video quality as lowering it won't help much anyway.
For supported hardware, you can turn on NVIDIA Reflex/DLSS/NIS mode to further improve the performance.
Different from traditional sims, you configure rates and PID settings in your account on fpvsim.com/sim, and sync the settings to the game. You don't need to set them again after migrating your computer or reinstalling the game. Note only the settings displayed in the game are synced.
