Trying to set up your transmitter to use with the game?
Please take a read through our controller set up guide

Are the stick axes wrongly mapped?
Take a look at the transmitter calibration page: it should solve the issue.

Is the controller behaving oddly?
If you had a beta or demo version of the game installed and are experiencing odd controller issues, please delete or rename these folders if they exist and restart the game:

PC
%LOCALAPPDATA%\DCGame
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\DCL - The Game\DCGame\Saved
<SteamLibrary>\steamapps\common\DCL - The Game (Early Demo)\DCGame\Saved

MAC

Are there any controllers that are able to connect to a pc wirelessly with bluetooth or similar?
There are easy ways to connect your radio wirelessly to the PC for gaming...
[list}
  • Buy an usb dongle like the FrSKY usb dongle (Google it up!)
  • Buy a cheap flight controller and a cheap receiver and use the Betaflight passthrough method
  • Use your actual drone to do the same as above (although please remove the props first LOL)
    The dongle solution is by far the simplest and arguably the cheapest solution - besides a regular usb cable connection of course!
Video and Graphics
The screen looks green or flashing
Make sure the game is running fullscreen (alt-enter on the keyboard) at one of the supported resolutions as listed above.
If it still doesn't work please send us a dxdiag and a description of the problem at support@dronechampions.org
That would help us a lot to diagnose the issue and solve it, thanks!

I want to use a resolution that isn't supported by the game!
If you want to use an unsupported resolution (like those for the new 14" and 16" MacBooks) then it is possible to hand edit the resolutions through the GameUserSettings.ini file. Please note that this has not been fully tested but has worked for some users. Also, please ensure that you back up the file before editing. The settings file can be found in:
  • PC: %LOCALAPPDATA%\DCGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
  • Mac: /Users/<username>\Library\Preferences\DCGame\MacNoEditor
The settings that can be changed and are relevant:
[/script/engine.gameusersettings]
  • ResolutionSizeX=1280
  • ResolutionSizeY=720
  • LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1280
  • LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=720
  • LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=2*
* Note that mode 2 sets the game to windowed mode

Will there be a setting in the game where I can make the picture as small as possible?
Yes, it's possible to play to change the resolution and play in windowed mode. These can be selected in Settings > Graphics > Resolution and Windowed Mode settings respectively.
Mouse Pointer Misbehaving
The mouse cursor behaves strangely and i have trouble using the game interface
The problem is often connected to the game resolution. Please ensure that the game and screen resolution are the same. Supported resolutions are listed above.
You can also try switching between fullscreen and windowed mode (alt+enter on the keyboard).
Supported Platforms
Are 32 bits OS supported?
No - and they never will be!
Drone Flying
Do the quads have turtle mode?
Turtle mode is not currently supported.

Why is the Laax track different to the one in the demo?
The track DCL Laax 2019 is present in the final version of the game, identical to the one raced in the real-world event.

How realistic are the game settings of the drone compared to a real life drone?🤔 Is there any modding options for control?
We simulate realistically 3 archetype of drones: a 400g racing drone, a dcl2019 standard drone (800g, 4S), and a heavyweight drone (1600g).
It is possible to fully customize PIDs and Rates (identical to Betaflight).

How and where can I buy these types of drones?
The drones used in the DCL races are all custom prototypes developed by each Team and usually not for sale.
It is possible to buy racing/frestyle/longrange drones both online as well as in shops around the world. For starting we would recommend to look for RTF (Ready to Fly) racing drones from various retailers online, possibly in your geographical area. It's also recommended to look for reviews and tutorials on youtube for example, there are many guides that help beginners to get into the hobby.
