FPV Drone mod for DCS

I realized it exists by watching this video by Growling Sidewinder on YT:

You can find the mod on this thread here:

FPV Quadcopter Drone [v0.9.0 beta]

FPV Quadcopter Mod for DCS This is a basic flyable FPV drone mod. See ReadMe file in download for info on controls. Note that this is a beta release and may be incomplete. Bugs include issues with ground collision. AI does not work. Install like any other flyable mod in: C:\Users\***\Saved Games\...

Besides the github download for v0.9.0 there is an enhancement (v1.2) that goes on top further down on the thread.

Still haven't tried it. It is shocking however to realize what is actually happening on the battlefields today and this already being reflected in a sim like DCS...

We recently put this to good work with my online group on a coop mission that we had trouble completing previously. A target area very heavily defended by combined SAM and AAA emplacements in which we had a JTAC for lazing the targets. We have not been able to beat the SAM and AAA combination as they had a Pantsir-S1 that was shooting down all of our HARMS and Mavericks. We changed the mission by giving the JTAC a few FPV drones armed with RPG heads. One of us used them to neutralize the Pantsir and the SAM radar very quickly, which allowed our F-18s to complete the objective undeterred by air defense. A very fun mod.

Very real world by today's standards.
