    Oh dear! Here I go again! Flippin .DAT files

    Ah . . .I just assumed (stupid to assume with Windows!) that my 64 bit machine would automatically install the 64 bit version. This now works perfectly, though to be honest, I think this may give me more data than I know what to do with, and the txt files I have found on the drone (or...

    Oh dear! Here I go again! Flippin .DAT files

    Odd. I get java -version java version "1.8.0_281" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_281-b09) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.281-b09, mixed mode) I've had a 64 bit PC for some time, so just assume it is 64 bit?

    pix4d

    Good to hear. Did it fly out of contact with your controller? That's what I'm most concerned about. In theory, the mission is uploaded to the drone, so it SHOULD just carry on, BUT does it??? I'm flying a simple Phantom 3S so don't need to control (unless things go wrong). I'm also...

    Mapping with P3S and MapPilot

    I use P3S with Pix4Dcapture (MapPilot only works with iPhone!) to try to map a woodland area for a friend (I am not a professional). I'm using MME to produce maps, but (of course) the maps really only show the tree canopy, even at this time of year when the trees are not in leaf. I wondered if...
