Recommendations for a good indoor practice drone

Bingo! Updated NVidia drivers and program launches fine, BUT does not recognise Inspire 2 controller. Bah! Humbug!

Outstanding to hear on video drivers!
On the I2 controller... I'm not positive but was that supported in free version? I recall that was part of paid version? Also recall it doesn't support all the controllers you'd assume.

But great to hear video drivers got ya going!

Just checked...
DJI Flight Simulator - Specifications, FAQs, Videos, Tutorials, Manuals - DJI

Free or Paid Version doesn't support I2 controller. The paid version does support I2.

Free version supports P4, all Mavics, Spark & I1.

Yeah. Pity. Spend more money on a used P4 controller...?
This had better be good

Oh, and thanks very much for your insight. Cheers

Simulator does list I1, M600 and LB2 controllers... I have all these and to me they look the same in buttons and features, which I think is same design as P4. Aren't these all LB2 controllers too? The M210 and I2 controller are not listed, which are also the 2 platforms that will optionally use a Cendence controller. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

They're focusing the free version on the consumer: all mavics, spark, P4, I1. The Prosumer or Commercial Pilots will need to purchase a license to use their platforms.

Personally, I don't understand why it carries such a high cost. I would think it would be a form of advertising the commercial platforms to encourage purchases. Plus, I feel it should be a included tool for the Owners that purchase their larger platforms.

I couldn't agree more. It would be an inspired piece of marketing if it were free. I've already spent close to $20K on aircraft, batteries, accessories, training & insurance etc. Not complaining - the gear works, but I'd like to be able to pre-visualise some jobs before getting on location, and test out some functions without putting hardware at risk.
