Seems to be a lot of posts on sensor-related issues. Forward sensor problems when flying into the sun. Ground sensor problems when landing. Where would it be advisable to disable the sensors? (ie: When coming in to land from high up, can we hover, and then disable ground sensors so we can manually land it? Or in a large field with no obstacles, would you disable all sensors to take out the unknown?)
After a relevant number of flights with the
MP it's clear for me that there is an hardware/design issue with the sensors. Sometimes the front ones are detecting obsacles when flying towards direct sunlight, and the
MP just hover midair until yawed elsewhere, and sometimes the vps shows a false reading and the
MP starts landing when you are full left stick down to reduce your altitude. So unless I am flying the
MP in a mission where all the sensors can be definitely useful, I am now used to decide before each takeoff if it's safer to disable them. What happens if the
MP detects an obstacle (which is not there) while flying back to you in an emergency RTH with no RC control, and stucks above a lake watching a mirable sunset? I don't wanna be the first one to give an answer to this question.
