Hi, I am a relative newby so I hope you will be understanding.
I am using Litchi. I set up and flew a circular route with eleven waypoints and three POIs. Everything worked fine and I got some good video. I then added a couple more waypoints and made some height adjustments. When I flew the route again, suddenly the Phantom started ignoring the waypoints and went into alternating Atti and GPS - atti modes. Luckily the Phantom was still in range so I could bring it home. The log says that there was no loss of signal at this point, not that it should have mattered if the signal was lost, since the drone should have completed the route anyway. What worries me is that if the drone had been out of range when it started to go into atti mode would there have been a chance that it would not have returned home automatically. According to the log the Phantom was detecting at least 14 satellites at all times.
I would be very grateful if anyone could suggest a cause for this strange behavior. I am uploading the flight log, I hope I am doing it right.
