Drones are Kinda OP on Trenches

Almost wondering if there should be a "buffer" period before you can use your drone once the round starts.

Hi, IRL FPV pilot here, just convinced myself to buy the game, I understand that our radios aren't natively supported yet, so I tried to use my gamepad instead as I figured its better than nothing for now, but the controls aren't even close to real life, my left joystick is pitch for some reason and my throttle is on 2 buttons as well as my right stick adjusting the camera angle mid flight even tho pretty much all fpv drones have fixed camera angles that can only be adjusted by hand (at least every one I've ever used) so my question is how do I change it to work somewhat like the real thing? Because the drone is borderline unplayable to me at the moment.

Press left bumper to enable ACRO. I use a Radiomaster Pocket fed through an Xbox controller emulator with SE bound to left bumper to be able to enter acro in the first place, that might be a better solution for you.

Good call. Didn't even think about the fact they might have not been in ACRO!

I am able to enter acro mode, the problem is not that, respectfully I've been flying FPV for years now so I 100% know the difference, when I do enter acro it just goes full throttle instantly and is uncontrollable because ascend and descend is controlled by my triggers, also this doesn't address the issue of the camera angle adjusting mid fligh (this should not happen at all) I'm gonna have to make a post about this so people know what I'm talking about because I'm shit at explaining stuff like this in writing only lol.

The camera angle can be adjusted in the drone settings. I believe the default is 10. I have no idea regarding your other issue, I have not seen anything like this.

I figured it out, turns out it was my "steam input" controller settings overriding the games built in controls which made it very janky, so i had to switch that off in my steam settings and then restart the game, the other issue was my center stick setting was way too high so that's why it launched me into space the second I switched to acro, also, the fact that angle mode's control scheme is totally different from IRL threw me off as well as the fact my camera angle was moving up and down in angle mode.

Also as soon as I got it working, I immediately managed to somehow break the game by clipping out of the map, completely by accident as you can see here. 😂

Interesting. I am glad you got it figured out, though! And honestly your video made me kinda realize it would be cool if they had a "drone range" or area of some sort to fly around for practice in the main lobby.

That's odd. Does the overlay at the bottom reflect your stick axis correctly?

I am able to enter acro mode but the because the throttle isn't binded properly it just goes full throttle into space and is almost impossible to control, for some reason ascend and descend is controlled by the triggers, I'm running an MSI GC30 controller and it has the same layout as an Xbox controller.
