Condor 2 Controller Options

Post by SavageX89 » Fri Jan 14, 2022 7:56 pm

Greetings everyone!
I'm looking to get my hands on Condor 2 and start learning to fly a full size glider. I've been flying RC planes for a few years and love flying my gliders.
I fly RC with a FrSky radio and have the equipment to connect my rc transmitter to my PC so that I can use it for a variety of RC simulators.
Does anyone here us a RC Transmitter for flying with Condor? I know it won't give the same experience as flying with a full sim cockpit and such, but I feel it'll be a better experience than flying with keyboard and mouse.
I figure, since my computer sees my rc transmitter as a joystick, i shouldn't have an issue setting it up with condor, but want to make sure.

thanks in advance!
happy flying!

I have no experience with RC simulation, but, as the rc transmitter is seen as a joystick, I would just give it a try, you don't risk breaking anything.

Just make sure the joystick is calibrated in Windows before using it in Condor.

Just a quick update:
I purchased condor 2 on the 5th of the month and was easily able to get my frisky tándem x20 transmitter connected to condor. I have full control of ailerons, elevator, rudder, flaps, brakes, and much more just with my radio. I'm super excited to start my soaring journey here.
