Thanks for your help. The path seems to run correctly now except the orientation of the drone should not be forward, but rotated outwards towards the Lake. Thats not happening.

Video is not playing.

Fixed it. It was in Draft State.

Sorry for late reply. You need to choose "Virtual mission" as marked on screenshot below.

I totally missed that ! Makes a big difference ! Thanks for the assist!

This extension is freakin' awesome. I took the whole Phantom Film School training on VLM only to realize its Windows only. I'm a Mac user. So I was stoked to see this post by Bazuchan.

I've got a complicated mission I've planned over and around a state capital that I really wanted to run in VLM before I flew it for real. The last thing I need to do is fly my Mavic 2 into a government building. I'd downloaded the Litchi 3D KML and looked at it in Google Earth Pro. That's good, but it's not the same is flying the mission.

Bazuchan's Chrome Litchi Virtual Mission fits the bill. I've experienced the same below ground issue between a couple of waypoints that Mosvold described. But outside of that one small item, I am very gratified to have come across this extension.

Thank you Basuchan.

This should have been fixed. Would you mind sharing the mission to me?

I would love to share the mission with you, but I'm not smart enough to attach a KML file. All my KML files are greyed out when I try to attach.

You can make the mission public in Litchi Hub and then share the URL.

I unchecked the private box. I hope you can see it now. Thanks.

When you design your Waypoints mission in the comfort of your easy chair using Litchi Mission Hub - Mission Hub - Litchi - be sure to click inside the "Above ground" box when you set altitudes. Otherwise, the altitudes of each waypoint will be calculated from your launch position. Then, if you were to fly up-hill, the drone would not realize it is much closer to the ground than the altitudes you meant it to fly at. Here's what that looks like:

YIKES!

Hello, Bazuchan, I have been using Chrome VLM for a year, thanks for your excellent work! but recently the elevation is wrong much higher Than the actual. I reinstalled Chrome, I deselected terrain but still failed and I have read #23 to change the file to relative to ground but I don't know how to do it, can you please help? Thanks so much! Rex

Editing file should not be needed. Could you share the missing so I could look?

What DEM file or settings are you guys using with GE for planning missions? Is the default good enough for flight or is anyone importing a separate higher resolution one?
