MPP 2.4.0b crash flying AIR 2S

Hi!

I was flying a 183ha mission on MPP 2.4.0b and DJI AIR 2S and when it was around 75% completed, MPP closed suddenly. I needed to open DJI Fly to bring the drone back.

After that, I opened MPP and the same mission again. For my surprise, the mission was clear, my grey dots and my last blue dot was vanished.

So, I acessed the log files on MPP, and mark the box "show kml". This way, I could see the paths of my log files on the background of the mission.

The next challenge was to create the blue dot to continue the mission on the last vertex of my log files. 

As the mission was clear, I couldn't create a blue dot. I tried many times to do that by clicking on many vertex, but the blue dot doesn't appeared. So, I needed to fly this mission by the beginning, collected 3 photos and pressed, RTH. 

Now, how the mission was already started, it was possible to mark the blue dot and complete the last 25% of the mission near the point MPP closed suddenly.

See the workaround I needed to do to continue my mission.

It was a large area, and I spent a lot of battery to do this workaround.

It was possible to complete this mission only because I had 6 batteries.

Before you ask me If I closed all APPs before opened MPP, yes. I always close all apps and clear RAM memory before open MPP. There wasn't any other app on background.

My question is, why is not possible to create a blue dot even in new missions? It will help so much in cases like that.

And why MPP doesn't recognized my log files and my last blue dot when I opened MPP again if the log files was there? If was possible to load the log files even in clear missions, it would help so much!

Mobile device: Samsung S23 256GB (8GB RAM)

Android 14

The log files of the flight that MPP closed suddenly:

Thank you for the thorough reporting. We are sorry to hear the app crashed for you. Assuming you have crash reporting enabled on your devices it will get added to the anonymized crash reporting we get from Google so we will see it. We will keep an eye out for it there. The crash information is not stored in the flight log.

There are a few known crashes in the DJI SDK relating to the video feed that have not been fixed. Or it could have been something file related given that it was part way through the flight. 

When the app crashes that is an uncontrolled closing of the app so we can't save things nicely. It sounds like you handled that all well using the features that are available to you. 

If you ever want to start from somewhere other than what is shown you can tap on any corner waypoint while the blue verification line is showing to start somewhere else.

The blue dot is something that is saved by the app and if the app crashes it doesn't have a chance to save it. Opening a log files KML file is just loading the flight trace. But using the Manual Restarting Point feature should be flexible enough to handle this situation.

Zane,

I was using "b" version, so I think this app crash will not be reported to Google.

I will replace my MPP installation for "Play store" version.

I hope the next app updates comes with:

- Enable the blue dot function even in new missions. (missions without flights)

Till the current version we need to make at least one flight and collect at least one photo and return to home to enable the blue dot point function.

Thank you for the fast reply.

The crashes from the APK versions of the app get reported separately. 

Are you saying you tried but cannot use the Manual Restart Point feature on new missions with no flights. If that is the case we will fix that.

Ok, Zane.

I`ll be waiting for that upgrade in the next MPP versions.

Thank you.
