Not sure when it started in relation to upgrades, but waypoint missions don't have smooth altitude changes anymore. I used to think it was my iPad mini 4 just not having enough CPU after Autopilot updates. But recently I used my iPad to fly my brothers Mavic and the altitude changes were super...

Joe21, I don’t know what fixed it. It just started working. I don’t know if my contacting Hanger helped or not. I did get a response from a tech at Hanger but that was the day after it was working. He didn’t seem to know that it was working though even though I updated the ticket at Hanger right...

Hmm... guess I didn't realize when Hangar acquired the app. I started using it in January of 2017. Ya know I wouldn't mind paying for an upgrade if indeed it was an upgrade. Usually it just breaks something else though... It's gotta be tough working with DJI's SDK. ANYway, I got my flight plan...

Thanks DaRana, I saw that faq too but this seems to be something else. I'm waiting for Hangar to hopefully, delete the corrupt flight plan, or all of them. I've given them my user ID and password for the app. Not being able to save a plan, then load it again is worse than loosing all of them...

Today I wanted to test a flight with my P4P and Autopilot (4.5) but my flight plan list is empty! The column on the left (just under Flight School) showed I had 24 saved plans but tapping that brought up an empty list. So I created a new plan and saved it. Then it showed I had 25 saved plans...

Hey John, that does look much cleaner! I should do that too. One mod I might make though is to leave some of the black velcro sticking out as a tab. So when I pull the tag off I'm actually pulling on the velcro instead of the tag, reducing or nearly eliminating the stress on the glue. The velcro...

I'm a big fan of cable ties. Here's how I mounted mine, I think I got the idea from another post in this thread. If I ever want to move it to another aircraft I'll have to come up with something else. A velcro strap glued to the MP comes to mind, one more for the antenna.

Screen resolution worked for me even though I still got the frame alignment error. In detail: This was so discouraging. I too have a 27" iMac, without an external monitor and I get the same frame alignment error and a white screen with no dots. Running Sierra 10.12.6. Current versions of...

Finally made a TWILIGHT flight and these lights are great for that! So I'll be using them for twilight...

StanMI, I haven't turned down the brightness yet. Problem is that it's hard enough to see already. I'll have to try it and add it to my flight check list. But I'm thinking that these devices are operating at their limits cpu wise. A faster cpu would probably generate less heat, plus the app...

In January when I bought my iPad mini 4 it was a recommended device for Autopilot. Now it's on their "legacy list". I think it's the same thing with DJI. Just a few months and it's nearly obsolete. These software / firmware updates... I have to stop. They render good hardware useless, I can't...

StanMI - I have an iPad mini 4 also. I begin to loose fpv the hotter it gets, loose it completely, then the app will shut down (autopilot, map pilot). I sincerely believe it's the iPad overheating. Turn off wifi, stand in the shade, use fans, all the above. Here's a shot of mine:

Not pretty, but this is my cooling solution for my iPad mini 4 (with gps but no SIM card). It helps, along with turning off wifi. When the fans aren't enough, I use the ice packs in-between flights, just set the iPad on top. Beats sitting in the car holding the iPad in front of the AC vents...

It's always been my practice, and I've been taught at the local RC field, that the aircraft is the LAST item you power up. Might not be as big a deal with today's radios and the way they bind but I justify it to myself by: don't give the aircraft a chance to "listen" to an errant signal and...

I got a red and white, not just for twilight but also hoping to make it easier to spot my phantom in the DAYLIGHT when it's 800 ft or more away. Glancing at the iPad then back at the drone sometimes isn't easy to spot again. Some of these posts make it sound promising. But as Fifty7 says the...
