Pretty sure I just downloaded & installed it on my PC.
That long ago I don't remember.
What problem are you having ?

YarraYarra · Aug 26, 2020

The Mavic 2 pro will not connect to the Simulator, the program works fine on my computer. But will not recognize the controller. ?

Works for me with the M2P
Try a different cable, that's all I can think of.

EDIT you did turn the controller on didn't you ?

Just tested it out using the standard controller & the Smart Controller, works with both but you have to turn them on.

On the controller screen it says connecting but that is all it does. You said try a different cable could you tell me what is the correct cable. ?

Mavic Mini and DJI Flight Simulator

Not sure if everyone knows you can use the Mavic Mini remote controller with the DJI Flight Simulator The Mavic Mini's flight characteristics are not yet simulated, but you can fly the Spark, Mavic Pro, Mavic P2 etc. The Spark is the closest simulation to the Mavic Mini The Mavic Mini RC does...

I meant try another the same as you have, just to eliminate the possibility of a damaged one.

Does the flight simulator work on a Mac?

No, not with osx unfortunately only windows 10.
However you could create a windows partition

I had trouble getting it too work on one machine, Fine on another. try installing both the driver and then starting the program as “administrator”. (Right click on the icon on the main screen to select administrator.

Turn your controller on after you have started the first program and before you hit “Start”. This solved the problem for me. Try a different cable and don’t use a patch cable in between if the above doesn’t work. If the program freezes you have to restart the controller in the correct order.

That worked for me

I've used the simulator on my computer, with the M2P and SC... It wasn't a good experience, because the program demands rather a lot of fast computing and graphics power, along with a lot of available RAM. If you don't have the machine to run it properly, it is very, very slow and quirky.
