Summary
Use Realistic Combat Drones with its controller, without drone goggles.
Description
CTF 226 - Realistic Drones Controller Only
Unofficial lightweight compatibility patch for Realistic Combat Drones 2.3.9 by SalamiBoiDev.
Deploy and connect to your drone with the original controller, without wearing drone goggles. Drawing the controller resumes an existing owned drone; switching weapons or holstering exits the camera. The original disconnect action remains available. Goggles are optional.
Requires Realistic Combat Drones (65AD60E204191D37). The weight/battery fix is optional. Both server and clients require this patch.
No drone assets, flight physics, camera capabilities, signal/range, battery, damage or network RPC implementations are replaced. Uses the original camera and flight systems with controller/ownership entry guards and possession cleanup.
Validation: compiled and packaged in Workbench 1.8.0.13; 49 automated local engine-client checks passed across DJI and FPV, including the optional weight/battery fix. Dedicated-server multiplayer, full piloted flight, actual revive/fresh respawn and damage-based destruction acceptance remain pending. This is an unlisted development candidate for private testing, not a claim of dedicated-server validation.
