Hello all,
This question would be for those of you who are familiar with the different firmware and software versions.
I have a Phantom 3 Professional running the following versions (found in the 'about' menu of the DJI Go App):
DJI Go App: 2.4.3
Remote Controller: 1.3.20
Firmware: 1.2.6+
I do a lot of my flying in my backyard. It's been great, the yard is big enough to practice and work on my skills. There is a small airport about 1.8 miles from my house, so just to be safe I keep 'beginner mode' turned on so that I don't inadvertently go above 100ft. Usually I don't go more than 50ft up when flying at home.
I'm hearing a lot about the new NFZ (No Fly Zone) restrictions being embedded in the newer firmware. I checked DJI's NFZ map and the airport near my house is not part of this restriction...yet. My concern is that updating to the most recent software/firmware might someday cause my P3P to be unusable in my own backyard if the nearby airport ever gets added to that list. I have no problem with playing it safe, and like I said I never go above 100ft when doing my backyard flying.
I am considering updating my FW to 1.4 to add the Intelligent Flight Modes functionality (POI, Waypoints, Home Lock, etc). From my understanding, FW 1.4 adds this but does not yet restrict NFZs. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
My question is this: What would be the best combination of software/firmware versions (Go App, Remote Controller, Firmware) that would enable the Intelligent Flight Modes but NOT the NFZ restrictions?
Thank you!
Jeff
