Does anyone know if you can use vr for your phone in this game or is is something that vill be added in a later stage?
FPV with google cardboard is a must for me. My FS-i6s transmitter works with great with FPV Freerider Free version. I would definately purchase the pro app for this VR experience. Is it still something you're entertaining 298 days later, or is this something you don't see happening anytime soon? I've been using quadcopter FX pro which is nice, but also lacks updates. I know I could get a couple people on board the FPV freerider if you added VR.
The full Android version of FPV Freerider now supports side-by-side VR view (Google Cardboard style). It is selected in the Custom Settings menu.
To navigate the menus when using goggles -
Either take your device out of the viewer every time or navigate the menus by:
- Connecting a bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad
- Using a USB OTG cable with several inputs to connect a mouse and/or keyboard

Not sure if Fatshark supports side-by-side 3D, but it would be interesting to hear.
(For now it is only the Android version that has the side-by-side 3D function , and, Recharged is not released for Android yet. The side by-side-view is mainly aimed at people using Google Cardboard style VR with their phones at the moment).
Hello there! Is it John? I'm so glad to hear from you, I have wanted to get in contact with you for about 8 months now! I want to mention that Fatshark surely supports side by side 3d, at least my hd3 does. But I am really excited to tell you about a huge new drone simulator I am working on, I am most highly interested in getting you involved, I realize you are a busy person and your time is precious, so I will not ever waste your time. Also even the smallest bit of your involvement would be an honor. This is a very top notch developing product, I come with blessings from one of the original TETRIS developers. My team has been looking forward to hearing from you, with the sensitivity of the project I would like to exchange messages through email. Please, I would be honored to hear from you, you can message me at lucas.adams86@gmail.com I very much look forward to hearing back from you, the best, Lucas.
I bought it, but had to refund after testing, because i still cannot have throttle and yaw working. I tested on my 2 phone, calibrated, etc. but only the right stick works, moves. With this devices in PC version left stick works. I cannot remap channels on my iRangeX i6X and A8s receiver.
Any other tip? A small android utility for mapping?
If i don't get this problem on PC, then every user should have this problem on android, like me. Or not?
Sorry to hear that you were unable to use the android version with your transmitter.
I don't know of any android utility for remapping (but if anyone who reads this does, shout out).
Windows and Android uses different input systems, so therefore it is not guaranteed that even if your transmitter works on the PC it also automatically works on Android.
See if you can select different modes on the transmitter, sometimes "Heli" works when "Plane" does not.
I watched a Youtube video and briefly saw Captain Vanouver play an FPV drone simulator on his phone while waiting ("Winning a Drone Race with Captain Vanover!", @10:56). That got me into googling for fpv simulators for the phone (i found FPV Freerider), and then how to connect my PS3 controller to my phone and THEN how to rig my GearVR headset to work with the game. I had most problems getting the GearVR to work, because when connecting your phone to it the GearVR app automatically launches on your phone.
But here is how I got all to work:
Controller
Using an OTG adapter (USB A to C) and an USB mini-cable I could connect my old PlayStation 3 controller to my Samsung S10. After a few seconds it was connected successfully. To get the controller to work in Freerider I enabled "USB Controller" as input, enabled "Throttle zero at center" and then calibrated the controller in the app.
Samsung GearVR
To disable the Oculus/GearVR app from auto-launching I had to download "Package Disabler Pro", version 15.2. Once installed I searched for "Gear VR Service" and enabled the block of that app. Inside Freerider app I went to "Custom Settings" and enabled "Side-by-side view" and disabled "Stereoscopic SBS FPV" (because it made the screens out of sync for me).
That's it! I can now train on flying in acro mode while waiting for my drone, controller, real goggles etc arrives from Banggood. :-)
