I’m with SilentAV8R on this one. Just yesterday I posted “Maybe DJI should include autonomous safety zones in the next software update. Seems like they could input the GPS coordinates of all U.S. restricted areas and instruct the Phantom to enter into a safety mode to prevent the flight or land...

Unfortunately not everyone is as diligent as you are, for instance, the topic of this thread. We need Ideas to limit drone usage to non-restricted zones or suffer the consequences of the government stepping in and outlawing recreational drones altogether. That would be a bummer, but when it’s...

Maybe DJI should include autonomous safety zones in the next software update. Seems like they could input the GPS coordinates of all U.S. restricted areas and instruct the Phantom to enter into a safety mode to prevent the flight or land automatically if it enters a no fly zone.

Thanks JJM, that finally sunk in....

I’m still confused. OK I see that in home lock the orientation of the phantom doesn’t matter to bring the bird back to me. This is not what I’m talking about. In the pilot training guide the training is all about maneuvering while keeping the bird oriented and knowing where the front is at all...

Thanks mopar bob, so you’re telling me that in Naza mode the phantoms orientation doesn’t matter and your right, just pull back on the stick and it will return home which is a nice feature for sure. But, forward, backwards, and side to side all work in the direction of the stick movement while...

Naza mode, home lock, coarse lock, switch settings, when all I want is to simply move the phantom in the direction of the stick movement. As you say the phantom already has IOC but some people would like it simplified. I hope DJI is listening because some of their competitors are already...

Does anyone know if DJI has plans to update its software to include intelligent orientation? It would be nice to let the Phantom figure out which direction you want to go based on transmitter stick input only and not worry about the actual direction the Phantom is facing.

The battery only has about 10 charge cycles on it but I can’t imagine how a battery somehow disrupts the Wi-Fi signal.

I have a DJI battery that isn’t read by the assistant software. It’s just blank. When I use this full battery I cannot connect to Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi works great with my second DJI battery that, by the way, can be read by the assistant software. What is going on?

I’m looking for the most realistic simulator for the Phantom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had 7-8 satellites steady then did another compass calibration and it cured the single red led flash problem. Thanks guys for the help.

So it's not "normal" to see one red flash after the calibration?

After doing a compass calibration there are 2 possible outcomes according to the user’s manual. 1. LED Flight indicator = Normal Led = Succeeded 2. LED Flight indicator = Red, Yellow flashing in turn = Failed I’m getting a 3rd, LED Flight indicator = Only ONE flash Red followed by Yellow...
