Did you try Return to Home, to see if it turns and flies back? Just ensure that you set a high enough RTH altitude on the Fly app. Did you also update all firmware on the controller, batteries and drone either connected on your PC with Assistant 2, or via your smartphone?
Hi thank you for you reply i have done every thing you suggested and it won't return which is a pain as i am wheelchair bond having to keep getting the drone my self.
Hi thank you for your reply. i have also put the controller in to sports mode to see if this works and no luck. i notice that the compass on the bottom of my iPhone does not match where the drone is facing i also recalibrate IMU and Compass 3 times to see if this would help but it didn't i also checked how many satellites am connected to was 13 not sure what else to do.
Try switching from Normal to Tripod mode after launching the drone up to about 2 metres then up to 7 metres for about 10 seconds (to secure a good RTH fix) before moving forward just a very short distance. Use Tripod mode to hover and play with the various directional controls, rotating, raising, lowering and backing the drone up to you if necessary (if forward motion fails) whilst you try to isolate what might be holding it up (if joystick or clear height/obstacle related). At least then you can keep it near you, for retrieval. The obstacle near “hold up” may be the reason. I like Tripod mode for very tightly controlled landings with Air 2. I put mine back on a small house deck in near dark conditions tonight, guided by the LED light over a target. The hovering hold control and fine adjustments possible, using the crosshair sights with the gimbal turned down, vertically, on to the target, were brilliant.If you try a higher flying height that may also help. And if reverse does still work for you, bring it home backwards (visually), for now! Keep posting and good luck. It will get resolved.
Took it 5m 10m 15m no obstacles in the way i push forward it will fly in that direction i stop then rotate towards me i try both up and down on the right stick it will go side2side and backwards i even tried holding the left stick to the right and then to the left and push forward on the right stick at the same time till it moves and still then it will only go in one direction after almost doing a 360deg turn.
There is a raf base about 3 miles away but i am in a blue unlockable zone i did think this mite be the issue but what made me dismiss this was the fact i tired seating in different parts of the garden front or back garden same issue even in the house same issue.
This is unrelated to GPS and there's no need to recalibrate the drone's compass or IMU if the drone is already flying straight and hovering in place without rotating.
