Summary

Realistic Drones is a cutting-edge mod that brings DJI-style quadcopters, suicide FPVs, and electronic warfare systems into your game.

Official Workshop description

DJI-style Recon Drones: Lightweight quadcopters used for surveillance, spotting, and precision marking. FPV Kamikaze Drones: High-speed explosive drones with custom aerodynamics and full throttle control. Custom Drone Controller Includes intuitive controls, throttle curves, and camera stabilization—compatible with mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. FPV Goggles System Realistic in-game FPV view with video feed degradation based on signal strength, distance, and interference. Full Signal Simulation Models line-of-sight, jamming strength, terrain occlusion, and RSSI/LQ drop-off. Drones can lose video or control if too far, jammed, or behind obstacles. Jamming Systems Deployable backpack jammers simulate EW, degrading or cutting off drone control in proximity. Real-Time Battery Drain Batteries drain in real time depending on your throttle input, all you need is spare batteries in your inventory, look at the drone and replace them. Make sure the drone is off. Drone Command Station: Connecting to this allows you to control up to 3 drones at a time, as well as coming with all the gear needed to fly drone. Drone Antenna: Connecting to this allows you to fly drones up to 5x their usual distance. How To Use: Step 1. Grab a drone, a controller, and FPV Goggles from the arsenal. Step 2. Equip you controller in a weapon slot and pull it out, if the controller is not out you wont be able to control the drone. Step 3. Equip the FPV Goggles, equiping and un equiping the goggles is how you enter and exit the drone. Step 4. Place the drone on the ground and connect to it. From there look at the control menu! Technical Systems Signal delay and input lag simulation under low link quality. Packet loss under jamming conditions. Manual arming of the warhead. Impact-based detonation and contact fuze models. Compatibility & Use Designed for both SP and MP. Modular architecture for easy expansion. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/rpg-7-23d13d69b7ab4ea1a438c57ca3a234b4 Used warhead
