I wouldn't doubt that this is the reason.

Keep in mind that "Smart RTH" is ONLY available on the Mavic 3. It's very different normal RTH that is available on all other DJI Drones. Concerning Litchi and RTH, I believe there is a setting that you can use to tell Litchi what to do when the connection with the controller is lost during a...

Okay I wasn't sure if I mentioned DJI's "crappy" virtual sticks API but thanks for acknowledging that I did in fact mention DJI's "crappy" virtual sticks API. Your Phantom 4 is flying smoothly because Litchi is able to utilize the older "good" API not the new "crappy" virtual sticks API that...

Likely the result of the "crappy" virtual sticks API. DJI previously offered a MUCH better API for 3P Mission planners before they switched to the "crappy" virtual sticks API. And did I mention how "crappy" this new virtual sticks API is? 😠

Interesting..thanks for sharing. I think CAP 722 seems to be the most clear regulation. I wonder if the FAA has any such restrictions/limitations that apply to this scenario here in the USA (excluding BVLOS restrictions). I've used autonomous missions (beyond signal range) to overcome range...

Autel Evo 2 uploads the mission to the drone. See the following video at @5:28. You will see the 'trainer' hits the upload button: https://www.autelpilot.com/blogs/news/how-to-use-the-mission-planner-autel-evo-ii-drone

yep...I think we just need to tell them 2 million times Or vote with our $'s which I will do with my next drone. I'm done with DJI at this point. It's time to give Autel a shot.

You mean why DJI wouldn't support uploading missions? I personally think that the DJI has concluded that Waypoints are NOT important for their market and it's been deprioritized by them and they will just rely on 3rd party vendors to supply that functionality via the "Crappy" Virtual Sticks API...

From my discussion directly with Litchi engineers the amount of data required for even your largest missions (e.g., 99 waypoints) would require absolutely a trivial amount of storage (well less than 1 kilobyte) and it would cost DJI next to nothing to include this amount of storage onboard. And...

Definitely! I agree. Just wish that DJI would bring back a "proper" API.

After reviewing the video and seeing the mission plan, I think this video perfectly illustrates the problem with the "crappy" Virtual Sticks API. This jitteriness would not be occurring with the older DJI Waypoints API. It's hard to say if Litchi will be able to overcome this problem with a...

Hey Tufargon, Thanks for sharing! Yes it can be scary. I've had to use missions with my Parrot Anafi to extend it's range...so despite the fact the aircraft is in VLOS it's out of signal range so there is no way to communicate with the drone...now that is scary. From your video it looked like...

Do you have Litchi running with Virtual sticks? If it is possible as you say I'd love to see an UNEDITED video showing a mission demonstrating smooth turns. Care to share any of the "many countries" and their specific legislation where missions following loss of signal are illegal? I'm not...

Any chance you could share the video from this flight? I'd like to see what the turns look like. If you can't get smooth cinematic video out of Mission then for me that falls short of what I'm looking for from a Mission Planner.

Not to pile on here but YIKES!!!!...I'm very familiar with that flight area and the Gillespie airport...The VAST majority of planes that fly out of this Gillespie airport are very small (e.g., single engine Cesna prop planes with an occasional small corporate jet and helicopters). It's a very...
