True. I rarely ever fly under objects, although I have done so at full speed under 4 lane bridges, so I could clear them before 3 seconds of signal loss! My experience with the retracing feature is that it isn't working as it should. There is a significant delay before it kicks in, far greater than the time to restore signal from ascension on the P4 with normal RTH behavior. I only lose signal when flying over a ridge and descending too quickly along the back side of the ridge while flying parallel to the descending ridge. Ascension by even 10-20 feet is all I need in that case, and the old RTH works better. However, I do wish it was user selectible, but last time I looked for the option, to opt out of this feature, I couldn't find it on iOS DJI GO 4.Next time you lose signal under tree cover might change your mind. Also, when it simply passes behind a very tall building, I do not want to have to wait while it ascends out of my sight, out of my control, blindly, up up up maybe even 100s of feet to clear the tall narrow building, when simply backing up 15 feet would put it back in signal and right where I left it, a place I know is safe and in VLOS. I'd prefer as little autonomous flight as possible, especially in the most blind direction on this drone, up. Sensors of some kind in every direction except that one and that's where you want it to blindly climb?
