    What is your workaround if the Go App won't let you fly?

    The lead on safety? Lol! DJI didn't give a **** about NFZ until a phantom crashed on the grounds of the White House. Do you know how much bad press that for DJI? Do do.understand that bad press == bad sales, right? ****, I don't blame them for going NFZ crazy, as it will keep their name out...

    What is your workaround if the Go App won't let you fly?

    Did you miss the part of my post where I stated I don't have a problem with the NFZ, and gladly drove to get outside it? I actually did that for a while with my P3S. What I do have a problem with is that on my P3P, the NFZ is badly broken/poorly implemented, and DJI fully admits that. They told...

    What is your workaround if the Go App won't let you fly?

    Incorrect. I do not have 107, but have a considerable amount of experience looking at nautical charts, etc. I can look at these FAA charts and understand what is going on. The 15 mile NFZ around DC is not a perfect circle. There are defined arcs in certain areas that cut into the 15 mile...

    What is your workaround if the Go App won't let you fly?

    Because they make some of the best UAVs for a very nice price point. Personally, I live around DC, right on the border of the DC NFZ. The GEO system is badly broken around here, and areas right outside of the NFZ are "broken" to my P3P. It wont take off, or will autoland after a few seconds of...

    magnetic antenna mounts for my car

    Very cool idea, but how are you going to rotate them as the drone move laterally?

    New to me P3P - Firmware question

    Dont worry about the warnings in the GO app. It will ***** and moan about firmware updates, but nothing is forcing you to do it. I would go out and fly and see if every thing works. If everything works to your satisfaction, I would leave the versions where they are..

    Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

    i just noticed something with my newly aquired S7 edge. If I installed certain apps AFTER installing DJI GO, the phone would reboot once I connected it to the RC and DJI GO came up. Removing those apps fixed the issue. I am guessing that you may need to uninstall DJI GO before installing any...

    old litchi

    There is a thread about downgrading here, and it works, as I did it (1.10 > 1.7) There is also a thread about modifying flight params here, and I can confirm that works too.

    Compass off? Radar off?

    If I open the map view, it generally shows me pointing in the correct direction, so I honestly cannot buy the "calibrate the compass" solution. The radar show me as being like 180 degrees off sometimes.

    Compass off? Radar off?

    DJI GO on my Nexus 5X and S7 Edge does the same thing. Does anyone know if this works on Litchi properly with ANdroid?

    Tablets and phones that work well with DJI GO

    On my new S7 edge, and also on my older Nexus 5x, the little compass heading widget never really worked. Any fixes? Does that feature work in litchi?

    Downgrading firmware on P3P from 1.10.9 to 1.7.6

    I got stuck with 1.8.0+ but it would not go to 1.7 even with the debug in place. I ended up flashing 1.8 with debug in place, and that cleared the +. I am on 1.7 now with modified flight params. Big thanks to everyone!

    New DJI Goggles don't support Phantom 3's ?

    Personally I think it is BS that the P3 series is not supported. I have some experience with software development, etc. and while I don't know the code for the P3 off the back of my hand, it shouldn't be that hard for DJI to integrate support for the P3 into the goggles. The P3 and P4 are not...
