. As a Marine, I am livid that a Chinese company is dictating how and where I must fly!
Welcome to the global economy. Everything is made everywhere. P.S. I appreciate the service you have done for us.
Should we migrate this to a private area somehow so DJI isn't watching as we work and closing holes ?
If their engineering actually looked at this forum, I would be shocked. It's only front-line marketing, social, and support. And maybe Brendan. Let them watch.
I can include a hidden discussion forum along with the others on my website. .
Probably not a bad idea at all!
When we get this off the ground, we'll figure out the best place for it. Right now, consider it a recruitment drive and some talented folks exploring what's possible. Once we learn more and we figure out what we can do, we'll put it somewhere suitable.
Very generous! Thanks!
Thank you!
Willing to donate if/when needed.
Thank you!
EDIT:
As for features we should aim for, let's start with simple things:
- Disable GEO.
- Load any firmware version. Remove mandatory updates.
- Disable upload of any flight data to DJI servers.
- Channel hack.
- .DAT file upload to FLYXXX.DAT (much better than healthy drones).
- Etc.
I am not saying we have to do those first but it's a suggestion. As for altitude limit removal and NFZs, I want to be sure we are not serving to enable people to do irresponsible things. This should be a "responsible" hack. Not sure exactly how we do that yet. For example, removing the DC NFZ in my mind would be a bad idea. We can, for example, reduce it to 5NM like other NFZs so people in NoVA who want to fly in their backyard can do so.
Finally, I am not advocating anyone break the regulations they are subject to. Personally, I want to disable GEO because I shoot professionally and already get all the authorizations from the FAA and local entities and don't want GEO to ground my birds because it is half baked and broken.
