Hi guys,
I am trying to get into FPV by starting out with a sim.
At this point years ago, I bought the FrSky Taranis Q X7 and it has just been sitting on the shelf.
The other week I finally wanted to give it a try and bought a sim only to realize that I don’t have any battery and way to connect it to my PC…
My questions are:
1. is this still a suitable controller to get started and dip my toes into FPV?
2. What battery do I actually need?
3. What do I actually need to connect the controller with my PC? - I find different stuff from a simple cable to requiring almost like an emulator?!
Any insights are truly appreciated.
Many thanks
Ved

Hi there!
I am an absolute beginner wanting to get into FPV with no prior experience whatsoever.
While I did end up buying a controller (FrSky Taranis Q X7) a few years ago I never got the chance to hop into a simulator and currently don't have a setup which could run a sim.
Therefore I was thinking it might be sensible to go down the route of Tiny FPV (I think referred to as cinewhoops?!) to learn the some control indoors before looking at building my own and getting the full gear.
Firstly is that a sensible approach?
Assuming it is, are there any suggestions for complete tiny fpv kits, not sure I could use the controller I already have for this. I do wear glasses, but wouldn't think this should influence the decision.
Thanks
