Litchi Waypoint mission start altitude.

[bronze661]

When you start your mission, does the drone reach the altitude of the 1st waypoint before proceeding, or do you climb manually straight up before starting the mission?

It will climb to the programmed altitude when you start the mission.

Litchi will take the shortest route to the start of your mission-
… but will climb to the mission height first...

NOTE: if your mission alititude is still BETWEEN trees and lower than than tree heights - Litchi will not navigate around them to get to its start point.

For Example lets say you are shooting a Castl;e from half way Up in a circular mission.

If you're the Other side of the castle half way up - ...
Litchi will go straight towards the starting point (which may be straight into the castle)

Best advice - ...
Navigate close to your start point before clicking GO on a mission !
