Drone On My Phone Updated

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +1030

Finally!

After a rather long pause, we are pleased to announce a new update for Drone On My Phone. We’ve had so many requests for more larger maps, and we’ve finally released an update providing just that.

Due to time limitations and technical difficulties, we were unable to squeeze in everything we wanted to (such as better level-of-detail management), but we’re very happy with the result and hope you will be too.

We’ve continued with the minimimilist style as it makes for a tiny download (still under 20 MB) that won’t fill up your phone, or make it get hot or drain the battery quickly.

We also made some improvements to the drone control software. Hopefully you’ll find it more responsive to fly.

See Drone On My Phone page for more info.

App Status: Waiting For Review

Sat, 24 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +1030

After a rather long pause, we finally have another app update on the way! More details once it’s approved.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of some assets that didn’t make the final release. I really like this picture.

Controller Defaults

Tue, 23 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +1030

Had a few queries about the defaults on the Drone On My Phone Advanced Controller 2.0. I’ve listed them below.

Throttle center:     40%
Throttle expo:       70%
Throttle high rate: 100%
Throttle low rate:   85%

Pitch expo:       10%
Pitch high rate: 100%
Pitch low rate:   70%

Roll expo:       10%
Roll high rate: 100%
Roll low rate:   70%

Yaw expo:       20%
Yaw high rate: 100%
Yaw low rate:   70%

Camera tilt: 10 degrees

Drone mode: STAB

Drone mode options are STAB and ACRO. STAB means that the drone pitches and rolls as you tilt the sticks then levels when you release the stick. In ACRO mode, the drone rotates while you are holding pitch and roll away from centre, then holds its angle when you release the stick.

Probably the best way to explain expo is basically it makes the drone less sensitive for small stick movements (good for when you’re flying nicely) and more sensitive for large stick movements (which you might want if you’re about to crash). Low rates make the drone less sensitive overall, good for when you’re learning.

And just in case you don’t find the Advanced Controller 2.0 particularly intuitive, here’s a link to a youtube video showing basic operation.

Electric RC Sim Updated... Again!

Thu, 18 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0930

Another update to Electric RC Sim! This one features a new drone with all-new control software. It will automatically perform flips when steeply banked. Lots of fun. If you also have the Advanced Controller IAP, you have modes similar to the existing drone (including my favourite mode, ACRO).

There’s also a new field. We’re still waiting for emails from people who recognise some of the locations we are using.

As always, have fun and keep flying!

RC Toybox Lite Released!

Fri, 20 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +1030

Announcing RC Toybox Lite, or its more descriptive name, “RC Toybox: build & play, 1 or 2 players (lite)”!

RC Toybox lite is a cut down version of our newest app, RC Toybox. You can try out some of the toys if you’re thinking about buying the full version. We think we’ve put enough in there to make it fun in its own right, but if you’re looking for even more fun, or just want to support an Indie developer, then get the full version!
