С начала года я стал регулярно заниматься в FPV-симуляторе.
Как вы помните, летом я купил новый дрон DJI FPV, который сочетает в себе два режима пилотирования: классический режим с автоматикой, как было на всех моих предыдущих дронах, и продвинутый режим (он называется Acro Mode). О нюансах такого управления я расскажу отдельно, сейчас же нужно знать только то, что Acro Mode — сложный режим, который, с одной стороны, позволяет выполнять пролёты по хитрым траекториям, но с другой стороны требует немало навыка.
Человек, который никогда не летал на дронах, в обычном режиме без проблем с первого раза взлетит и скорее всего не убьёт дрон. В Acro почти наверняка убьёт. И для этого придумали симуляторы: к ним подключается настоящий пульт управления от дрона, но картинка вся на компьютере, поэтому можно тренироваться, не рискуя своим оборудованием.
Я стал заниматься по полчаса каждый день. Сначала шло очень тяжело. Не получалось вообще. Ловил сильную демотивацию от этого. Но поставил себе цель к наступлению тёплых дней обязательно освоить навык, и поэтому через страдания продолжал. И это сработало: на текущий момент в симуляторе я могу на начальном и начально-среднем уровне пролетать разные трассы, делать петли, влетать в узкие места, тоннели, оконные проёмы и так далее.
Я ещё ни разу не пробовал на настоящем дроне. Хотя авторы симулятора (Liftoff) в какой-то момент добавили туда именно DJI FPV и пообещали, что его виртуальные характеристики и поведение в воздухе будут максимально приближены к реальности. Питер погодой не радует, но в конце майских обещают хотя бы минимальное тепло и солнце — я поеду пробовать.
Кстати, в симуляторе есть карта в виде антенного комплекса "Дуга", который под Чернобылем. Карта называлась Russian Woodpecker, а после начала событий авторы симулятора (бельгийцы) переименовали её в просто Woodpecker.
