is there a fix to this, can you plug in your phone get the app open then disconnect your phone and turn on your goggles to lift distance restrictions like on the mavic?The maximum distance the Mavic Air will fly when the remote control is connected to the RE goggles is limited to only 50m.
Since Mavic Air does not use Occusync to transmit the video signal to the goggles and since you cannot connect the goggles and a smartphone/mobile controller to the Mavic remote controller simultaneously, the restriction to 720p video resolution within max 50m flight radius severely limits the fun.
Unfortunately, the use of goggles with the Mavic Air is not really practical.
If you hot swap the phone FIRST with then with the goggles, it somehow overrides distance/altitude limits. I know that makes no sense, but I literally watched it happened on YouTube. I will try to find the link for that. But the pilot had the 30m altitude with the goggles to start. Then he took unplugged the googles, plugged in the phone, then repeated the swap back to the goggles. He then flew up over 250m! The pilot didn’t know why, but who cares? It works.The maximum distance the Mavic Air will fly when the remote control is connected to the RE goggles is limited to only 50m.

I have bought MavicAir and I Have already the 2nd version of Glasses- they arrived. I am learning and reading how to fly the drone, I never did my first flight.
I hope the newest update will not destroy any possibility of obeying the distance limit.
By the way I want to run simulator - I have Macosx or if I need I may have Windows but I do not like it. Any steps how to connect and what?
2. I have not even activated the drone yet
Have u flown a drone ever before? If so, then the flight simulator is redundant. If you’ve never flown before, there are free drone simulator in the App Store which you can practice on w/o having to use your Mavic at all.
If you’re learning for the first time on a Mavic...IMHO I would get a cheaply drone. Or be SURE to have your prop guards on and take your drone outside. Get used to the drone before you play with your goggles and have a spotter!!
A spotter is another another person that can keep a visual line of sight (vlos) on your drone while you fly using goggles.No I have not flown before I am reading and learning. There is simulator in the App for Mavic. You connect your Mavic and joystick but fly not real
What simulator are YOU talking about?
I will do first tests outside.
What is a spotter??? (Language problems)
