      About This Game

      Adds a 1000Hz software-in-the-loop bridge to Betaflight firmware. Replaces the built-in flight controller with the real firmware running on your PC, turning the simulator into a controlled environment for iterating on PID gains, filters, and rates without risking real hardware.

      Detailed Description

      This DLC adds a software-in-the-loop bridge between SITL Forge - FPV Laboratory and Betaflight firmware running on your PC. The built-in PID controller is replaced with the real firmware, so you fly and tune against the same code that runs on real hardware — driven by the simulator's 1000Hz physics model, calibrated against real bench measurements.

      Requires the base app: SITL Forge - FPV Laboratory.

      What This DLC Adds


      • 1000Hz PWM/FDM bridge — motor outputs and full physics state exchanged every millisecond
      • 50Hz RC channel link — joystick or RC transmitter feeds the firmware's stick inputs
      • MSP protocol over TCP — telemetry, blackbox, and configuration access
      • MSP WebSocket bridge — connect a Configurator session straight to the firmware
      • One-click mode switch — flip between built-in SIM and external firmware in-app

      ---

      A Controlled Environment for Real Tuning


      Iterate on PID gains, rates, filters, and rate profiles in a simulator that aims to approximate real airframe behavior as closely as possible — without risking hardware on every change. The behavior you see is driven by the same firmware code you'll flash to your drone, running against a physics model fitted to real bench data.

      • Validate filter setups against simulated motor vibration
      • Iterate on PID gains and feedforward without crashing real hardware
      • Test rate profiles and stick feel before flashing
      • Reproduce tricky tuning issues in a controlled environment

      ---

      Technical Details


      • UDP data link between simulator and firmware (ports configurable in-app)
      • TCP MSP server for Configurator-style tooling
      • Coordinate transform handled in-engine (Godot Y-up ↔ aviation NED)
      • Per-axis vibration injection into the firmware's simulated IMU

      ---

      Compatibility


      You provide your own Betaflight firmware build configured for software-in-the-loop. This DLC does not include or distribute Betaflight binaries. Build instructions are available in the Betaflight project's SITL documentation. In-app setup notes are also included.
