I looked at their website and it looks like most versions are available on steam. Are you saying you ran the game on steam and it allows you to use your RC2 controller for input? One thing I've had a difficult time trying to do is to find something that uses the actual controller for input so...

That is assuming you are in an area where you have cell service - if you do, you are fine, but if you don't you are kind of out of luck - I learned the hard way.

It happened to me once a few years ago - I fly where I hike which almost never has cell service so I couldn't login and was pretty much stuck. Its on my checklist now to make sure I do a test flight at home if it has been a while since I flew. I try and fly at home regularly just to practice...

A few thoughts: Obstacle avoidance - while it works reasonably well, you should NEVER depend on it to keep you out of trouble. It should be considered more as a backup The mini series does not do terribly well in higher winds - I doubt you could fly it stably in 25-30 MPH winds. With that...

Here is a sticky post from this forum describing how to upload your flight log: https://mavicpilots.com/threads/mavic-flight-log-retrieval-and-analysis-guide.78627/

Caltopo has a variety of options on layers to display. Here is one that uses MapBuilder roads as the base layer and an overlay showing public lands (different colors). https://caltopo.com/map.html#ll=45.02223,-122.22482&z=15&b=mbr&a=sma There are a lot of other possibilities as well - this is...

I will bet that the one on the top is the culprit - I believe the GPS sensor is underneath that tape.

And it is now sold out. I was wavering on getting this - seemed like a GREAT deal - but when I checked a few mins ago it is gone - sold out.

My understanding was that the 5 grand was restitution for destroying the drone. Not really a fine, but basically partially reimbursing Walmart for the drone he hit.

Thanks for all the background. I will begin digesting it.....

Can you elaborate on #3 a bit? To me, this makes no sense. If the flight path does not necessarily go thru a waypoint, what is the purpose of defining a waypoint? How does the flight path bypass a waypoint? What causes it to sometimes bypass a waypoint? It is probably something silly that...

I would never rely on something ChatGPT gave you - I've found so many times what it tells you is flat out wrong - it SOUNDS really good, but is nothing more than a hallucination.

There is a lot to learn - I've been flying my drones for about 4 years now and still feel like a beginner, but I've learned a LOT. My suggestion is to practice, practice, practice, practice - and learn the options in the software, what they do and how they work (like Return to Home - that is a...

If you look at the reviews as of this morning, there are two that basically say it is a scam...... The saying "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is" seems to apply here.

I don't own a larger drone or own a mini 4 - I have a mini 3 pro - what I can tell you is that the mini 3 pro is a LOT quieter than the previous mini drones and I'd assume the 4 is even quieter than the 3 is. You don't have to get it up too high for it to be pretty much invisible. It is one of...
