Terrain unfollowing, unconformity on SRTM and low performance flights

Is there any feedback, Zane?

Yes, we have been working on a fix for it. It doesn't have anything to do with the terrain data sources. There were some changes made recently to address changes made in the DJISDK and they did not get changed for virtual stick flight. We hope to have something out in the next day or so. There are no known workarounds at this time other than to not use the terrain awareness feature.

This issue has been addressed with the release of 3.1.5 on January 16. 

Hi Zane. 

I just flew a mission to test the 3.1.5 version.

This is much better than 3.1.4, but the drone still keeps stopping to adjust his altitude in the middle of a straight line.

These stops were fewer in number and also shorter compared to the 3.1.4 version.

Take a look at the log files. You can compare these two flights (below), they are the same mission.

Thank you.

We will look at the log files. Can you please email us the .mme mission plan file so we can simulate it?

Ok.

Email sended.

Zane, the problem persists.

The drone behavior during the flight changed with this latest version (3.1.6b). Now the drone is fliyng normaly in a straight line taking photos at 10 m/s and stops abruply. Then he resumes and continues taking photos, but at a very slow speed. This stops occur several times. To give you an idea, the estimated flight time for the mission was 16 minutes and it took me 22 minutes to complete this mission. 

This flight is just a test. I have big jobs to do where I`ll have to travel several kilometers to flight missions which will require several batteries. 

But with the MPP this way it becomes unfeasible.

I would like a sicere response from you, will this problem be solved? I paid fot the annual plan and I`m unable to use it properly.

I`m sending you the last .mme files. Its from this flight below:

I`m counting on your support.

Thanks.

Maurício.

We are sorry to hear you are still having issues. There is a lot going on with this flight. First of all, you have a lot of really serious errors being thrown. They should be showing in the Aircraft Errors panel and the ! icon should be showing orange, which is not a good thing. This flight has hundreds of these errors which mean you have some control issues going on: aircraft encoder error and imu attitude limit

Also, you have a FlySafe warning occurring which should actually be keeping you from flying at all. This too is in the log:

 FlySafeWarningEvent: TAKE_OFF_IN_ENHANCED_WARNING_ZONE The aircraft is in the enhanced warning zone (Airport)_ please pay attention to flight safety. zones:1

This screenshot shows how close the flight is to the flight path:

Yikes!!!

Please let us know how the app updates are working for you after the hardware issues with the aircraft are resolved and it can be tested in an uncontrolled airspace. 

Zane, 

I`m already calibrate IMU and COMPASS.

Tomorrow I`ll fly another mission, on another place to test.

About this plane, it is a 30.000 feet! Its a large plane en route. LOL!

There's a small airport nearby, not for this type of aircraft.

Thank you for the fast response.
