Unable to manually takeoff

[Hack43]

I have a Mavic 2 Pro which can no longer manually launch after the last firmware upgrade. The auto launch (slide to launch) must be used. Everything else is normal. Is this a new firmware "fix" or a new standard.? There are some situations where I would rather manually takeoff!

What firmware version and app version are you using?
I believe my M2 to be on the latest firmware but I am probably using an older version of the app and I have no such problems.

01.00.0770 for the aircraft, 01.01.0064 for the smart controller. I don't understand this, it used to takeoff with manual input. I sent the the RC in to DJI to advise, and they just sent it back saying it was working within specs. Yes, it was, but not for manual takeoff. Am I somehow restricted or is there a setting I can change?

I think I found the problem. There was a small piece of something (?) I hadn't noticed in the throttle gimbal before. It prevented me from moving the gimbal all the way in to initiate manual takeoff!! My bad, I'm not usually this stupid!

Ah that is good, I am pretty sure it is 0770 on my drone, have you done a test flight?

Yes, thanks. All is now well!

I read that you solved the problem but for information, one time, I changed the flight controls direction on joystick (so as to act as an airplane joystick up and down). When the flight controls were personalised, I couldn't take off manually

mation, one time, I changed the flight controls direction on joystick

If you mean changing the joystick mode that is a very good point, but once flying the alternate joystck mode would become apparent
I have been caught out by that before, when attempting to fly someone elses drone. I couldn't take off, I almost exclusively use manual take off and at the time I did not even know there was an automated take off), the owner then mentioned the other mode lol.
