I just verified it. With bird, rc and ipad on and connected (in Ready to Fly mode) it reports as firmware 1.2.8, app v1.2.0.Did you check with the aircraft on? I found that my TX was 1.2.8 but my P3A was 1.1.9. I have not updated either fw. Go figure.
To elaborate, I've only flown her about 10 times so far. And after a handful of flight, turned off Beginner mode (I at least had several years practice with a Parrot AR Drone) but have currently limited myself to 200M for height and 250M for distance. So it's never been more than about 750 ft away from me (training wheels!)
I guess my question still remains, so far everything "seems" to be working correctly with my P3A on 1.2.8 but with SO many complaints here, it makes me wonder what is so broken now that would be fixed/better if I downgraded to 1.1.8? Have I just not flown far enough away to experience 1.2.x issues?
