What's acro called in betaflight??

[broncosdad1317]

so with my quad connected to betaflight I go to modes and set the values for my switches and notice there's no acro setting. Just air mode, horizon mode and angle mode???!!!! How do I get acro on there

 

[VirtueViolater]

Acro is actually when you have no self leveling mode selected. Go into betaflight configuration and make a switch position that has no leveling mode selected. That will be acro

 

[VirtueViolater]

You don't really need horizon mode, it's the same as angle mode without being able to do flips and rolls. Use the horizon spot for acro

Bronco your bird is rtf right? One of your switches will have 3 settings. One will be angle, one horizon and one acro. Really no need to mess with settings until you find a problem or want to change rates.

 

[broncosdad1317]

I already did I wanted to have an arm switch and I just set the modes while I was at it. Prolly dropped te acro part on accident without knowing it

 

[VirtueViolater]

Use the horizon spot for acro

I may have horizon and acro modes confused but if you fly around with the one that limits pitch and roll, you will likely do some un-intentional flips and/or rolls when first going to the other or acro
(I did....lol)

Word I think I got it figured out

 

[devin120]

Its when everything is just out. No lights. You can enable skitzo mode etc and others to help.

But its when no enabled highlighted fields are on like angle turns off and your in sphincter clencher mode.

Bronco just burn some packs, that’s what it’s all about. Don’t over think anything for now. Just rip it up.

 

[broncosdad1317]

Haha well worded devin and thanks guys. I will do just that

 

[VirtueViolater]

Bronco, if you are able to fly acro on the sim, you should be fine.
@devin120, Skitzo mode is Raceflight isn't it?

What's a good sim. DRL??

 

[VirtueViolater]

I used DRL cause it's free and i'm cheap...lol.
FPV Freerider has a free small one also, it's easier to use but very small

DRL is $20 though

DRL is $20 though

It wasn't when i downloaded it. It's not the one on steam, its this one

Oops, sorry, looking for the old link if it still exists
It doesn't, FPV Freerider has a free small one, good enough to learn to fly acro

scroll down a bit to find the demo

Hey Broncosdad, just do like Wayne said. Rip through a few packs until you get used to how the sticks feel. I started off in angle mode, but quickly saw how limiting it was in controlling. After a while, the PID tunings in angle mode will seem to be fighting your stick controls. When you get better, just turn angle mode off on your FC, then stick with Acro mode all the way. Then increase your PID rates until they're at a level that feels right for you (but not too much or you will start to get oscillations). Stick to one quad for a while and learn it well, then think about your next quad challenge/ build.

Thanks man your input it very much appreciated and I will do exactly what ya said. Seems like a good formula
