Correct
Let it go ... update the controller and your drone will fly normally.
Your concerns about updating are overdone and there's not going to be anything to worry about.
I see that message on many of my flights.
Here's a screenshot:
Despite the warning, you can see that the drone is having no trouble making good speed because the wind is coming from behind the drone and it won't have any problem getting back.
You have an overactive imagination and a tendency toward paranoia.
I've flown in and out of FLL several times and seen what's there.
You can drive around and see it all from the ground or look at it on Google Earth.
There's no need to use a drone...
It's a badly worded message and doesn't mean that your drone will just hover at all.
Even if your drone was blowing away in a hurricane, it would still keep trying to return home.
The message is just advising that in strong wind situations, RTH...
You're right ... you dunno.
Why would you think they might have been spying .. at Fort Lauderdale airport?
There's nothing to spy on there.
I didn't see any.
