Sorry, that statement makes no sense.

Of course I do. However, our laws and regulations are so far behind technology that it's difficult to have any idea when it may begin to catch up. The gov't can barely scratch together enough consensus to fund the gov't from month to month. Yes, someday we may see such requirements...

@SkyeHigh My original comment to your comment was not aimed at picking a fight or to put you down personally in any way. It was simply meant to shut down any notion that DJI (or any other manufacturer's) firmware updates carry any kind of importance or mandate as far as regulations, and even...

Sure, you did say "cars" and not drones. So you just brought cars and their firmware up out of the blue when discussing drone firmware, but your intention was not to have any connection or comparison between "cars" and the subject of the thread? Okay, whatever. Maybe next time you will bring...

If you are involved in manned aviation, then shame on you for assuming that somehow DJI's (or other manufacturer's software) is currently a requirement, or mandated. Thus requiring the user to update to a given firmware as if it were an AC. Back to class for you. Here, have a look and see if...

Thank goodness! Yes they do... now. Before your time, I guess, they did not restrict flight. When they began to insert those restrictions, the release notes did not say that was included in the updates. At certain times, DJI has restricted the option to roll back firmware. Not always, but...

This is a complete red herring and was hashed to death back when DJI's software was taken apart leading to the various ways of regaining control over the drone. If you had any aviation background, you would understand that for any particular software to be a "requirement", then it must first be...

My comment was in response to your post. My read of this post is that you disagree that DJI may include user restriction and/or system logic behavior and purposefully not disclose it in the release notes. Since they have indeed included restrictions without notice in the release notes, I guess...

No, I'm not going to tell you anything about it other than it was implemented over time, and I can tell you the FW release notes did not highlight that user control was being restricted. Those discussions in forums are still there if you want to go on a history tour. Regarding the "bait"...

Great. So you don't remember the rollout of GEO, and how that went?

Hey Chris, May I ask what was your very first DJI drone? For refterence, I have been involved in the DJI ecosystem since the Phantom (1) purchased new.

Sorry to tell you, DJI has been adding restrictions in firmware releases, with and without mention in the release notes, since the Phantom 3 Pro. I couldn't care less whether you believe it or not, update or not, etc. Just stating a fact. They have also usually fixed things with new FW as...

TL;DR The increased bit rate for video and flight time are the main benefits to upgrade to the classic from a M2P. Otherwise, the 4 year old drone still has it.

I am using Chrome on Win.10 and have the AdBlock working. I don't see any ads but I do see that pop-up. I have pop-ups turned on in Chrome settings because many sites now use a pop-up for their login, unfortunately.

Hi Admin guys, Can we get a "don't show me again" button on this pop-up I get on every visit to the board? Thank you!
