Litchi app Way Points

[Jalatta]

I'm sure there is a thread about this app but I've been looking for a way to delete way points. OK, I found my problem. The "Waypoint & Settings" window which appears on the right in "Mission Hub" does not show top and bottom on my Chromebook or laptop, consequential the "delete" button on top or "forward/back" arrows do not show. However it does show the entire window on my desktop, maybe due to larger monitor.
This doesn't make sense since everything else is scaled.
Does anyone know if that window can be sized to see the entire thing?

Click the Waypoint and then press the DELETE key on the keyboard.

Yes, the help section says that but the Chromebook does not have a delete key, typically you use the backspace key. I can use it on a PC but I've been trying to use the Chromebook. The delete button is on the settings window but it is not visible.

As I do not use a Chromebook its only guessing. Have you tried to re-schedule the size of your windows content. It might work with CTRL +/-. In your case use '-' until the whole content becomes visible.
Optionally, there should be a Menue-Item 'View' with option to zoom in/out.

Thank you for your reply. I will try

Thank you for your reply, I will give that a shot. In the mean time I'll use the desktop but it sure would be easier to use a smaller PC.

Just want you to know that using the ctrl and - worked on my laptop, thanks a bunch, Jack

Today was a grand day, it was my first and successful flight using Litchi waypoints. What a blast. It is always fun and exciting to use something that works well. Now on to learning all the different things how the app can be used.

If you plan a Mission in Lichti that flys behind trees or building and you loose signal then the Drone will continue to fly the mission all the way to the last waypoint. So always set the last waypoint to be near your Home Point so it flys back to that point at the end of the mission. Dont freak out when this happens just have "blind faith" . It will finish the Waypoint Mission.

Have you tried the VLM viewer to test fly your missions yet? It can be helpful to prefly missions from ones desktop to check areas for reference -height, distance , topography, etc.

Also one can use GPS coordinates to fly straight lines if needed. For instance if one sets up a mission to fly down a street and finds that the path is not perfectly straight one can click on the coordinates for GPS position of the Waypoints and adjust them to have a straight path.

Thanks for your suggestions, they are very helpful, I'll make use of them.

I found Litchi remarkably reliable during now more than 100 missions. If you want your Video-Clips to look smooth over a longer period of time, camera movements need to be controlled by waypoints. Optionally you can direct flight maneuvres to the AC and focus on Camera controls. This way most of my best shots have been created.
However, as mentioned in earlier posts above, waypoint missions should be properly planned to avoid surprises. I.e. Anti-collision settings can prevent a successful return in case Mavic is pointing towards the sun which is recognized as obstacle.
Have fun!

No I haven't but will try it out tomorrow, thanks for the info.
