.900 Range issues?

[mavic6611]

Has anyone else noticed there are issues with flight range being weaker with .900?

 

[dirkclod]

I didn't when I was on it and on .1000 now and still have no issues with my distance signal strength . I do fly where there is no noise .
YMMV

I fly in a reasonably noisy area but definitely a decrease in RC range since .900. what's YMMV?

 

[dirkclod]

Your Milage May Vary . Meant if you were in a high noise area .

Ahh I understand now [emoji16]

I did not see any range issues with .900 (not on .1000) but I fly mostly in remote areas.

Is there a reason you upgraded to 1000? Only reason I ask is because 1000 has the height limit decreased

 

[WolfgangStiller]

I generally always upgrade to the latest version after waiting a few days for any issues to be reported. In this case, I got enhanced features on my goggles.

I saw no decrease in height limit. Where do you see that? (I have mine set at 500 meters)

What are the advanced features for goggles? I have the goggles also. I only heard about the height restrictions through a few of the YouTube channels

Mine is set at 500m also . Never go high but have everything set as high as it will go .

 

[mavic6611]

Huh , mine is set at 500m like always . Never go high but have everything set as high as it will go .

That's really strange? That's the only thing that's been preventing me from upgrading fw. Well now I know [emoji3]

Your RTH is only 40m? Ouch that's a bit scary low [emoji50]

They are listed in the release notes, but I think the one that appealed to me was indication of signal quality to the RC (we already had this from the Mavic to the goggles).

I suspect there may be some confusion. I have my max altitude set to 500m which is the max it has always been.

Little over 130' and where I fly that's plenty .

 

[mavic6611]

Ok, I was a bit scared for you for a second there [emoji39]

 

[dirkclod]

Me been flying for awhile bro and believe me I always make sure that hasn't changed when I have done updates

I have every faith in you, I know you know your stuff. At least I care so be grateful [emoji12]

 

[dirkclod]

I am buddy and am grateful I even wake up everyday

Haha [emoji23] as long as your still breathing when you wake up, it's all good[emoji41]

I'm on .900 and have gone out over 21,000 feet and back on stock Mavic. However that run was the exception as similar runs along roughly the same route have yielded 14,000 to 17,000 feet . So mileage does indeed vary even at same location.
