Requirements

  Gamepad: A controller is mandatory to pilot the drone (for now).
  Camera 7: The physics engine activates automatically when switching to camera 7.

Controls

The plugin uses the standard configuration by default:

  Left Stick: Throttle (Y-axis) and Yaw (X-axis).
  Right Stick: Pitch (Y-axis) and Roll (X-axis).

Note: All axes can be inverted and deadzones adjusted in the plugin settings.

Key Features

Advanced Physics Engine

  The simulation includes adjustable parameters for motor thrust, gravity, linear drag and more.

Practice & Recovery Tools

  Record & Rewind: Record your flight in real-time. Hold the Rewind key to go back in time. You can maintain stick inputs during the rewind to seamlessly resume your trajectory upon release.
  Checkpoint System: Save your current position with a press and return to it with another press. A long press clears the checkpoint.
  Respawn: Instantly reset the drone to its starting position.

CSV Export for Rendering

  Record a flight and stop the recording.
  Click the "Export recording to CSV" button in the HUD.
  The file is saved to users/name/OpenplanetNext/PluginStorage/FPVDrone/trajectory.csv.
  Use FPV Clip to convert the data for use in MediaTracker.
  Move the downloaded .clip file to your Replays folder, then open the Replay Editor, select an existing replay on the map, and click Import a Clip at the bottom.
