It's amazing how autocorrect learns from our past mistakes.

Great news, what version number is the beta? I signed up but haven't been given access to the beta yet

I use an Android tablet when I fly but would consider buying an Apple Mac device just to get waypoints.

Can anyone suggest the cheapest way to do this? Because I'd only be using the device for flying.

Litchi will support waypoints soon and is better. The alternative is a 2nd hand ipad mini 2

Its version 4.6

 

[Larry Gibson]

I would wait for Litchi app.
He will have it soon.

Larry, Post a video of this if you please. No video, then it didn't happen.

Sorry I did not create a video. (I just did a quick test and it worked)
What would I benefit in making this up.
I'm waiting for Litchi to release there app. (much better)

Just completed a 5 point waypoint mission and Autopilot worked flawlessly.
Personally I like Autopilot a lot. It has a greater learning curve than Litchi but I wouldn’t say it’s either worse or better, just different.

I agree Autopilot is harder to use, but works very well. Litchi has a easier interface for setting waypoints.

Thanks Larry for the update. I love autopilo,t and didn't realize they were beta testing 4.6 can't wait to have the ability to fly the air with it. I have enjoyed my Phantom and Mavic pro using auto pilot. But seriously, post a video if you get a chance to, I'd love to see the air go zooming off to the first waypoint!

 

[djiboi]

Just got the beta, man this looks complicated from the videos! Hopefully have a waypoint mission designed by the end of the week

 

[Larry Gibson]

Litchi just release there beta.
I’ll try it this afternoon with video

 

[djiboi]

Well it didn't take as long as I thought, flew my 1st mission in AP. It didn't track particularly smoothly, so I guess there is a little fine tuning to do my end. Loved watching it auto fly itself though.

Litchi beta now supports the air too
