I have the Air 3 (not S), but I think they may be very similar in the use of Waypoint flight. The creation of a Waypoint mission using the RC screen is awful - very clumsy interface. In contrast, Litchi mission hub gives a nice, free easy-to-use interface. Unfortunately, neither the Air 3 or...

At no point did I say that, "you must fly a waypoint mission and create it dynamically with DJI Fly" - that was your invention. My words were, "Unfortunately, DJI has provided no real substitute for Litchi to allow an easy user interface to make and preview programmed flights." Fly and Litchi...

Undoubtedly that's true, but DJI promote the use of the flying drone to set waypoints. For example, in its main page, Introduction to Waypoint Flight Mode of DJI Fly, (here) the first step begins with, "1. After the aircraft takes off, pin waypoints by using the remote controller or operating...

I can't explain this, because this simply didn't happen on my conversion. One of my missions had six Points of Interest, and 28 waypoints, all of which were directed at one of the PoIs. Most points had curved turns and interpolated Gimbal PItch. For example: I did not have to reset anything...

Okay, in that case, to avoid leaving the controller on and working with the stupid DJI interface, let's go back to Litchi with our DJI Air 3. Create the mission in Litchi, and edit it in Litchi. Thanks to @DJ Wes, we can use Litchi, and transfer the mission data to the RC controller after...

I feel that the Litchi Mission Utilities site is the best way for me to deploy waypoint missions. Clearly Litchi itself is never going to run on the Air 3, despite the Air 3 being able to store the waypoints on its internal memory. Unfortunately, DJI has provided no real substitute for Litchi...

Has any Mac user had success in adapting Litchi missions and deploying them on the Air 3? I could use Litchi Waypoint Mission to DJI Fly Waypoint Mission to create a .kmz file, and I could create a dummy waypoint mission using the RC2 controller. However, I struggled to move the .kmz file to...

I tried to summarise the steps in an easy way in the document attached. I have the further difficulty that, as an iPhone user, I barely know how to use Android devices. However, I was lucky enough to be given one, and so found the required app and installed it. The instructions work for me!

Might it be something as simple as different settings in the GE software: vs ?

In that case, I misunderstood the part of your posting when you wrote, _"everything is very small (I guess scaled down from an Tablet format) and fiddly and I frequently accidentally changed settings like altitude"_. There should be no reason to change altitude if the mission has been created...

I wouldn't recommend programming flights with Litchi on the Smart Controller, for the same reason I wouldn't use it on an Android/iPhone/iPad: the web version ("Mission Hub") is the only good way of planning and testing a safe and effective route. Elsewhere (Litchi - "Unloved by its maker"?) I...

You can find discussion of the Mac version, and a source, here: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/yet-another-virtual-litchi-mission-chrome-firefox-extension.45629/

I said: > I have the iPhone XS Max, and run DJI Fly for my Mini SE and Air (1) when I actually meant, "I have the iPhone XS Max, and run DJI Fly for my Mini SE and DJI GO 4 for the Air (1)" I should also have added that I use Litchi with the Air. (The version of Litchi I have does not work with...

I have the iPhone XS Max, and run DJI Fly for my Mini SE and Air (1). However, I am paranoid about Apple updates breaking my FCC comms (I live in Europe) so I have kept iOS at 13.6.
