| Improved Support for DJI FPV Remote Controller and TBS Tango | 2024-09-29 | We received the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 and TBS Tango 2 V4 for testing. Initially, flying drones with these controllers was almost impossible — the button and axis mappings were so mixed up that it made gameplay extremely difficult. The main issue, however, was the lack of an option to remove button and axis bindings from actions in the game. We've now added this functionality, along with a convenient feature to remove all bindings in bulk. As a result, configuring these controllers has become much easier, making flying a much more enjoyable experience. Important: Resetting and removing bindings applies only to the currently selected dron |
