    VLM and CVLM notworking again

    I've been using VLM and CVLM successfully until recently when something changed. A month or so ago VLM 2.5 stopped working for me so I started using the Chrome extention (CVLM). This worked perfectly until a day or so ago when something happened to the way Google Earth interprets mission...

    Mavic Pro .dat file

    I uploaded a dozen or so files from the MPro, which were then bundled into a DAT file by Assistant 2. I used DATcon and CSVview to try to extract the DAT file but got a message saying I needed to extract it with DJIextract (or ExtractDJI?). I can't find this program on the web. Someone said it...

    Mavic Pro resurrection after 8 mo. in wilderness

    The lense (round glass) inside had a very curious white pattern of lines that wasn't cracking as the housing was all intact. Suspecting a change in lense coating caused by environment e.g. temperature changes

    Mavic Pro resurrection after 8 mo. in wilderness

    Yes, looked at the flight data on the phone and i was able to attribut the flyaway to 1. pilot error 2. wind shear and 3 battery depletion. 2 and 3 are self evident and 1. I am too ashamed to post. Still trying to look at the uploaded .DAT file from the drone but can't find the DJIextract...

    my two flyaways were both found by someone else. I have all my numbers marked on the drone and that's what saved them.

    Mavic Pro resurrection after 8 mo. in wilderness

    no filter. i looked at the inside (round) lense with a magnifier and found that it looked segmented (cracked or scored) which didn't make sense as case and lense cover not cracked. Perhaps some temperature change effect on the lense coating, which caused very blurred picture. Anyway, replaced...

    Mavic Pro resurrection after 8 mo. in wilderness

    it is handed, as poined out below. Simple switch of attachment plate. It works and now I have an Air 2 to keep it company, bought after I'd given up all hope of recovery. Near miracle I'd say, good engineering and one of the driest summers on record in this area

    Hi Mavi Pros, After a 2km flyaway and 8 MONTHS in the Canadian wilderness my Mavid Pro was found. Landed in a tree and eventually hit the ground on the back right arm which dug into the ground and rusted out the RR motor, which I replaced with a spare. Video card recorded entire flight. only...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    Hi - I am trying to run VLM 2.0 on my Win 10 laptop without success, although according to the log it runs all the way to sending the CSV file to GE, without any error messages. GE doesn't open as the help file says it should, nor does it have any new folders (e.g. "diagnostics) in the GE...
