Moderators Volcano Posted September 13, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 13, 2022 The plan is to have a consolidated SBwiki page, but I guess it hasn't happened yet.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted September 13, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 13, 2022 Here is a unified drone's page, in its infancy. This will hopefully be the place that you will get information about how to use them, once I can get some assistance with putting the page together - this is just a starting point (I don't have as much time as I used to to work in the SBwiki and will need help there). 😩 https://www.steelbeasts.com/sbwiki/index.php?title=Drones 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalAB Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Nice entry into the Wiki Volcano. That information along with the video on YouTube is very helpful. Plus you can print off the Wiki guide for a quick reference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted September 14, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thanks, glad you like it. I was just coming back now to say the page is essentially "done" (as in, ready to be used, at least as a basic info page that can be elaborated on later). https://www.steelbeasts.com/sbwiki/index.php?title=Category:Drones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 How are the drones working for everyone? I thought the easiest to try would be the labelle. I can deploy it and launch it, but I can't get it to go where I want, not on auto or manually flown. I really can't get it to do much but hover. I've read all available documentation and watched all videos. The only consistent thing is the flashing "TIS cooling down (5:00)". If everyone else is doing OK, I must be doing something in the incorrect order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted September 20, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2022 When writing documentation in the SBwiki, a large part of it is assumed as being obvious - but often the assumption is wrong. So what exactly are you doing in the Libelle? Like, what is the process you are trying? I will add more to the drone info page once I can figure out what you are doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted September 20, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2022 In the mean time I added a little more text. The key to controlling the drone is that you must be in the F2 or F3 view (see the bold text now in the Standard Controls section. So basically, what you do is you can go into the F2 or F3 view THEN you are able to fly the drone manually with ASDW and QZ buttons. Or, while in F3, you can go to the map view and plot a route from the drone, then go back into F3 view and press the "NAV" button on the far right (which is described in the Mission Control section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you were trying to control drone from drone's F8 view, available only in mission editor while testing a scenario. To control drone you need to be in parent squad F8 or F7 view, and while in that view- go to F2 (sort of focus eye view on drone thing) or F3 (drone payload) view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlh Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have things working properly. A large part of my problem was my joystick. I just realized that the labelle could be controlled with the joystick as well as the W, A, D, X key imputes. My joystick was setting unevenly on my desk and overriding the W, A, D and X imputes I was trying to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
