Thanks, well, as far as I know iOS still has very limited support for physical controllers. I know some bluetooth controllers might work, but as far as I know it is not possible to connect an RC radio to iPhone/iPad devices, which makes it less appealing for a FPV simulator in my opinion. (Most people would just be able to fly using touchscreen controls, which is not ideal for FPV practice...)

If anyone has other information regarding physical controllers please let me know.

I'd love if simulator would run on IOS devices like iPad pro. It's a powerful device with great display.  You may be right with the assumption that IOS still has very limited support for hysical controllers. - and Bluetooth is not an option for FPV due to time lag of bluetooth devices. This time lag is technology instrinsic. But there is a dongle available for a Frsky radio transmitter which may work. Could you evaluate this?

Actually, the situation has completely changed. Your competitor, Velocidrone, has already implemented full controller support on iOS. I just saw a user review confirming that it 'pairs perfectly with my Radiomaster Pocket'. You can check their app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/velocidrone/id1612444734 It proves that connecting an RC radio to an iPhone is totally possible now.

Thank you for the information, that's interesting to know. It seems like it requires connecting via ELRS/TBS wifi module, which is not really ideal IMO. I like the openness of USB/bluetooth connectivity. But it's nice that there's at least a possibility.
