I've had a P2 for a few months now and like everyone else, have gone through the various firmware upgrades and have seen performance and capability degrade little by little.
After the latest 3.04, I've had enough. I found the 1.08 version of Phantom Assistant software online and downgraded back to 1.08. After, I had an issue with H3-2D tilt control (X1) which was fixed using the RC Assistant and re-calibrating X1.
I took it out for a flight yesterday, wow, what a huge difference! It feels much more agile and responds quickly to stick changes. I can do full descents and pitch/roll at the same time! Top speed on ATTI feels nearly twice as fast. Also, my flights before were very crippled looking but now very smooth, fast and professional.
I love having a much faster descent rate because 2m/s is ridiculous with v3.x+. People on this forum are always scaring folks about prop wash and out of control descents.. I find that you just need an extra few meters to recover from fast descents, but that's it. In other words, you don't lose control for more than a few seconds as it recovers, don't let the people here scare you. In fact, if I'm up several hunderd meters up and want to come down quickly, I flip the switch into manual mode and basically put it in a controlled fall (it always keeps upright). I can bring it down at 15+ meters/sec this way.
For those wanting more control, flexibility and capability, I highly recommend downgrading to 1.08.
