Need intenet to fly now

[jwilson]

I went to a place where there was no wifi. It said I couldn't fly because I wasn't logged in. I had just flown at my house where there is wifi. So I emailed DJI Support about this. This is their reply:


For the flight, yes it requires internet connection and good GPS signal. Without the internet the RC or the app cannot be linked to the drone. If the RC supports USB inputs, then you may connect the mobile phone to the RC and to the internet.


So is it true that now you always need an internet connection to fly? I know this wasn't true before, this is a big deal!

Which drone and which RC?
Once you logged in at home after, are you still unable to fly away from your home Wifi?

No it's not true.
DJI employ some donkeys who have no idea at all what they are talking about.
