I waited it out and now that DJI Fly has a waypoint feature I'm not seeing eveything I'd like. 2 Questions remain:
1) Litchi has an "above ground" attribute which often helps from flying into a hillside as you traverse your points (this is also helpful when you export to KML and fly your mission virtually using Google Earth as it provides a relatively accurate altitude profile on the mission design). Unless I'm mistaken, and since I don't yet have the DJI Fly app in front of me, altitude changes appear to be 100% manual based on, well, based on ....not sure what. Have I missed something?
2). In DJI Fly, one of the waypoint attributes is "Lost Connection" behavior. I'm particularly interested in the "continue" selection. Let's see if I have this right. I plan a mission of waypoints and at some point in the middle of the flight, I lose connectivity due to obstacle interference (say flying behind a large mountain/hill/building. If the "continue" selection was made for those waypoints, upon emerging from behind the obstacle (in range of course), would connectivity be resumed and the mission continue as designed/planned?
As experienced Litchi users will know, losing drone to controller connectivity does NOT prevent the mission from continuing and Litchi will reestablish a connection first chance it gets (when within range again or when no longer physically obscured).
Thanks for your help!
