changedFly with the keyboard — no controller neededWe tuned the feel so it's actually flyable: a tap gives an immediate, gentle amount of stick and ramps up the longer you hold, yaw is softened so it's easier to control, and the throttle moves in fine steps so you can settle onto a hover. While you fly this way, orbit the camera with the mouse (left-drag, wheel to zoom). Plug in a controller any time and the arrow keys go back to orbiting the camera automatically.
changedA safer ResetPressing R to reset now also disarms the drone and drops the throttle to the bottom, so a reset never leaves you armed or relaunching unexpectedly. The full Hotkeys list (Settings → Hotkeys) now includes the flight and camera keys, and translations were refreshed. Happy flying — and crash often, it's free here.

Fly with the keyboard — no controller needed
You no longer need a gamepad or radio to get in the air. When no game controller is connected, SITL Forge maps the flight sticks onto the keyboard:
Arrow keys — roll and pitch
Q / E — yaw (turn left / right)
Shift / Ctrl — throttle up / down (holds where you leave it)
