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 the Checkride walks you through a structured first hour.
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.
