GUIDES
Getting flying, and fixing the things that stop you.
Flying FPV in GTA V needs two installs and a radio, and only one part of it reliably goes wrong. Everything below is written for someone who has not done this before.
How to fly an FPV drone in GTA V
- 1
Own GTA V Enhanced
Enhanced is the remastered release. If you already own GTA V on Steam or Rockstar, it is a free upgrade in your library rather than a second purchase — check before you buy anything.
- 2
Install FiveM for GTA V Enhanced — not Legacy
They are two separate clients and they cannot cross-play. Installing Legacy gets you something that can never connect to this server, and the failure looks like the server being down rather than like the wrong client.
- 3
Plug in a radio, or a gamepad
Any XInput-class controller works natively. A DJI FPV controller needs a one-time bridge — that is what the guide below is for. A gamepad is a genuinely fine place to start if you do not own a radio yet.
- 4
Connect, then type /drone
No tutorial gate, no loadout screen, no unlock. If you have never flown FPV, /setup binds your sticks with live axis bars so you can see what the radio is actually sending, and an optional guided first flight walks you through choosing your controls, arming, lifting, flying and landing. Skip it whenever you like.
Written guides
One guide so far, covering the problem that actually stops people. If something else here cost you an evening, say so in the Discord — the next guide gets written from what people are stuck on, not from a keyword list.
Or just try it
Nothing above needs finishing before you fly. Connect, type /drone, and come back to the controller guide only if your sticks feel like switches.
