Sorry I did not find a solution to this problem.

Thanks for your reply, I have tried your suggestions but still have the same IMU error.

I haven't flown my Phantom 3 Advanced for about 4 months, and when I started it yesterday, I had a message that a firmware update was needed. Last time I used the drone I ignored the update message and just calibrated the IMU and compass with no problems. This time I updated the firmware for...

Thanks, here is what should be the correct .DAT file for that flight Dropbox - FLY108.DAT Did you set the brake to 70% before test ?, Looks like I am using later firmware than you, . When I first noticed this problem I was using :- App V 3.00 - Aircraft 1.9.60 - Remote Control 1.60 then...

This morning I tried a couple more test flights. First I calibrated the IMU before the first flight, then using just the DJI App. At 50 mtrs AGL with a light breeze I rotated the craft first to the left and then to the right. Each time it drifted away about 30 mtrs and returned slowly after I...

I tried the drone again this morning at sunrise when the wind seemed to have dropped, to try to reproduce the drifting issue and took it up to about the same height as before. It hovered above me and seemed stable, so I switched to the periscope app ( as before). As I started to turn the drone...

Would having the sensitivity brake set to 70 cause this. I set it at 70 after reading on forums that it would help reduce the stress (possibly the cause of cracks near the motor mounts) on the frame as the craft slows down. Although I haven't noticed the drifting before on recent flights.

Not for a while as it's windy here today and according to the forecast conditions are likely to stay the same for the next few days.

Thanks, RC now updated and update message gone, now it just needs the drifting fixed and I am sorted.

How do I update the RC firmware to V 1.8.0 ? I thought that was only updated when the aircraft firmware was updated. I cant find a download for just the RC firmware.

I have downloaded the log DAT file from the drone and uploaded it to Dropbox. I would be grateful if you could advise me on what could have caused the drone to possibly change to ATTI and to drift. Dropbox - FLY097.DAT

Many thanks, I didn't realise that there are two types of flight data files. I will do as you suggest.

Unfortunately most of my flight logs are incomplete, including the one from last night, as once I have taken off and made sure that everything appears ok in the DJI App I switch to the Periscope App for live streaming. So only the start of the flight is recorded. I checked the Log data on the...

I had the controller set to "P" on this and all my other flights, I have now checked my flight logs, on each flight it says "Mode changed to GPS_Atti" . Does that mean it's in GPS or Atti mode ?, I am a bit confused as I thought it would say either mode GPS or mode ATTI ?

I am using App V 3.00 - Aircraft 1.9.60 - Remote Control 1.60 Is there any way of removing the update required message ?
