Fly Litchi on Website / App

[ddodell]

I've have created some Litchi missions ... and just want to make sure they are going through the motion correctly. I didn't see anything that looked like a "play" option on the website in the Mission Central ...

I know about virtual missions and flying them in Google Earth ... I'm more looking at having the mission go through the motion so I can make sure the camera etc is pointed in the right direction, pauses as I want etc ... more the mechanics.

Thanks

You know, I would like to have that as well! I can fly the virtual but not from camera view. That would be nice!

I flew a Litchi mission just the other day. My waypoints were established in conjunction with Google Earth. I was flying at 5 AGL (I wanted mostly a person view) and found a tree that Google Earth didn’t. (In GE defense, there were two trees extremely close to each other, so it showed as only one.) One prop had a slight nick. Replaced the prop, broke it in half to prevent further usage, rerouted around the tree, Mission completed!

Moral of the story: backup items come in handy, don’t believe everything Google tells you, (if possible) walk a route first if flying at very low AGL, lock and tether your equipment case (little wanna be’s get curious when you have to fetch your downed bird).

litchi missions are so easy to set up on the hub for what i use it for the videos are smooth using interpollate and you can always throw a focus in anywhere .i,m forgetting how to manual fly becuase when i set up the mission the drone a litchi are so much smoother than i could ever be and i saw over 375 miles of country in march alone and thats very little flight time not much time doing missions but alot of time charging batteries and remotes i,ve found it is much easier for me to lay my flights on the hub then look at them in 3d on google pro adjustsments are easy if you need on the hub then save and export again and again if need be

It's scary. I have run my last flights on lichi and can confirm better cinematography than my fat fingers even after plating with exp etc. Had fun creating a cable cam!
