You have a choice between Self-leveling and Acro. Acro is all any pilot will use for racing anyway.
You cut off the very part of my sentence that that matters regarding your point. I said, "Freerider doesnt let you select flight modes
like Velocidrone does."
As you mentioned, Freerider lets you select Self leveling mode and Acro mode but Velocidrone lets you select between Acro mode, Horizon mode, and Angle mode. Acro may be "all any pilot will use for racing anyway" but when you are new you arent racing, you're just trying to learn. Acro mode is a whole lot to swallow when you dont know what you're doing. Having the 3 exact modes in Velocidrone that I have programed on my Taranis in real life allows me to step up my practice in the sim with the same settings I have in real life. That means I can practice Horizon mode in the sim then walk down to the park and use that same horizon mode to fly my real quad. Which is kinda the point of a simulator, right? To simulate real life without the risk? Not much help to practice one thing in a sim if its not what you're going to be using in real life. Hence why I like having the same modes of my Taranis in Velocidrone .
When I go acro Im gonna love ripping the levels in FPV Freerider Recharged but I'm simply not there yet. Actually, if you have have any tips on learning acro mode I will happily take them cause its proving to be a bear for me to pick up, haha.
