    Google Earth Pro Terrain question

    msinger, that fixed the problem. Thank you so much. I have been working on this several days. Without your help I never would have figured it out. Now my older missions simulate OK again. Have a great evening.

    Google Earth Pro Terrain question

    Wow! yours is working OK. I have attached what I see here in Phoenix, Az. and also what a friend of mine in Prescott, Az sees. What could be wrong. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Google Earth Pro on two different computers. See attachment.

    Google Earth Pro Terrain question

    I have been using Google Earth Pro (with terrain on, checked) to plan some of my Litchi missions. Recently I noticed that in some areas the terrain data no longer works for me, Please check out this test and see if you have the same problem. If so, can you explain what I can do about it. Here...

    Drone fishing - good or bad idea?

    Yes of course it will. By comparison, if you place an egg on a railroad track, the egg and the steel track will both be deformed too. I have always wanted to say that. Ha Ha

    Litchi not obeying camera gimbal settings on waypoint missions

    I am not familiar with the Maven app, but if Maven app can do both camera pitch and/or speed between waypoints during a mission when out of range of the RC, then I would think Litchi could do it too. I suggest you ask Litchi tech, via email, your question and see how they answer. You can find...

    Litchi not obeying camera gimbal settings on waypoint missions

    I believe this also happens with Speed when speed is changed between waypoints. See quote from the Litchi Manual below. Too bad. I expected that the drone should calculate both Pitch and Speed on board, but maybe the onboard processor can't do it all in the required loop-control refresh cycle...

    Power up Controller or drone first

    Would you please provide a link (or any information) so I can better understand the Bind/Link protocol used in our DJI drones? PS: I am from back in the early 1950 with a 27.255 MHz Babcock transmitter and a home built Lorenz gas tube receiver built into a free flight airplane with a rubber...

    Charging MVP2 Batteries in Car

    Note that I am using short 10 gage wire to connect the inverter directly to the fully charged Jeep battery. This is important as the inverter will turn off if the battery voltage drops below 11.0 volts. I suggest you do the same calculation using your drone battery capacities and your...

    How can I save manual focus at infinity so it won't be lost with a reboot of the M2 Pro drone?

    cadbob and ChrisOutdoors Please see post #2 above, and the response I received back from Litchi. Litchi said that, in the next update, they will save the value you get from the ("calibrate Lens" at infinity)(scroll down in the "camera setting menu" to find this "Calibrate Lens" near the...

    How can I save manual focus at infinity so it won't be lost with a reboot of the M2 Pro drone?

    How can I save manual focus at infinity so it won't be lost with a reboot of the M2 Pro drone? With Litchi I can (Calibrate Lens) calibrate my infinity focus in the air on a distance object, and I get a say 17 on the manual focus strip, and the distance focus is good. But then I cycle power on...
