Flying indoors, Vision system assistance

[Meta4]

So in a nut shell, I now what is says in the book but what it may do in real flying life is a different story.

I've seen flight data from plenty of flights where the drone behaved exactly as mentioned in the manual and quoted above.
I'd be interested in seeing recorded flight data from a flight where you think it was doing something different.

Thanks for wanting to check this out. If anyone can figure it out, you can. Attached is the screen recording from the flight and the flight record file. i think the TXT is the one that relates to the screen video.

That's interesting
I can confirm that you had VPS active and GPS health was no higher than 2/5 during the flight.
Sat numbers were low (6-12) despite reaching a height of 170 ft
Because of poor GPS, your drone never recorded a home point.

Normally you would expect the drone to have been in atti mode in these conditions with GPS Health always 2/5 or lower.
But I notice that the data shows the drone in GPS Mode, even though it had not acquired a homepoint and the flight controller was never satisfied with the quality of position data.

I've seen this unusual conditionseveral times in the last few months.
The drone/app is declaring P-GPS mode even though it shouldn't.
I don't understand what's going on to cause this, but it's the most likely explanation for the drone appearing to act contrary to the height rules for low GPS flight.

Thanks for sharing that data

Thanks for checking it out and confirming. I did try the scenario where it was cover and GPS as you found and turn off all sensors. It did show ATTI mode in the status bar and flew like it was in ATTI mode, the interesting thing once up in the air the status bar change to GPS, but the bird still flew as if still in ATTI as i mentioned in an earlier post. I would of sent that log to you as well but the flight log was empty, just a file name showing a size of 0KB.

Anyway, have to go to work now, working a late shift today. Will do some more testing and send you the data via pm to check it out.

Thanks again!

Thanks again Meta4

I'm going to try the same scenario with my MA2 and Mini2. Will attempt tonight.
