    Aircraft Disconnected message. What happened?

    Hi and thanks for your feedback. I'm using the DJI Smart Controller, and yes, it was working fine. I'm not terribly smart when it comes to apps, so I'm not clear on what you mean by "try restarting the GO4 app". How would I do that within the controller during flight please? The startup message...

    Aircraft Disconnected message. What happened?

    Hi everyone. While recently flying my Mavic 2 Pro, I experienced a malfunction that I'm having difficulty explaining. Highlighting the series of events was a screen that froze with the last recorded image in black and white, and there it stayed for the rest of the flight. Although the system...

    I sure agree with that, but at the risk of going off topic, what about the aging Mavic 2 batteries?

    Thankyou for trying to help me. I had actually found that guidance elsewhere and tried it unsuccessfully. I just spent a half hour on chat with DJI's tech personnel.

    Unable to establish communication between controller and WIN11 desktop

    Thanx kindly for taking the time to try to help me, Marty. Unfortunately, my computer just doesn't recognize my USB connection. It's a new power/data cable and it's providing a charge, but no data. I'm thinking I might have a controller setting that needs adjustment, or who knows? ... maybe the...

    Unable to establish communication between controller and WIN11 desktop

    Hi everyone. When I use a data/charger cable with USB A to USB C between my Win 11 desktop and my DJI Smart Controller, I'm unable to make a connection. i.e. the controller doesn't show up in my 'Devices and drives' window amongst the other drives. This has been a deterioration over time in...

    Does a drone fly a heading or track?

    Hey Brett. That's really interesting. Thanx for your well written response. Could you please tell me if you know of a reference from which I could read up on what controls what. I believe you've pretty much confirmed what I'd suspected, but I'd sure like to learn more about the why's. Cheers!

    Does a drone fly a heading or track?

    Terrific! I'll be looking forward to seeing your results. I believe that that SLUP's data should confirm that the drone will fly a track in a crosswind. i.e. it will self correct for drift regardless of whether or not an autopilot is programmed to fly to a waypoint.

    Does a drone fly a heading or track?

    You're absolutely right! Late at night when I wrote a response that I know better than to write. Having racked up over 20,000 flying hours, I know better. :>)

    Does a drone fly a heading or track?

    That's an excellent graphical response. I believe what you've said so well with your response is that the track and heading coincide, the wind being offset by GPS input influencing the drone to slide to its left to compensate for wind. Thanx for taking the trouble to post this.
