Hi Namirda,
Virtual Litchi Mission is a fabulous piece of software. Thank you so very much for making this available. I too would be willing to contribute.
Ran into potential bug today. I was planing a mission in Google Earth. The original mission used gimbal interpolation. Unfortunately...
Hi Chris,
Thank you for suggesting reversing the way points in AutoPilot. I will give it a try.
I agree with you that Autopilot contains a feature rich set of possible missions. What I like about Autopilot is having more than one subject, multiple camera triggers, and the ability to orbit...
Hi Dawg:
It does not need to be 100%. What I need is something that is better than just going to the site and having to fiddle with altitude and aircraft location while in the air to get the right field of view. This takes a lot of battery time and multiple trips to the site to get sufficient...
Hi Dawg:
Great question.
By first planning in Google Earth I know what will be in the field of view of the camera at each way point. By exporting a .kml file from Google Earth, I can then import into the Litchi Mission Hub (LML). From LMH I can then export a .csv file that can be opened in...
Hi All,
I have been experimenting generating missions in Google Earth and importing them into Litchi. This works as intended. Since I also own Autopilot (and Hanger makes the claim that AutoPilot can import .kml files), I thought that this might work as well.
Unfortunately, not. When I...
Hi Lefty:
I got involved with this virtualization process because I wanted to be able to follow a road or a stream and have it always appear in the center of the frame even through a turn. Almost impossible to set-up in Litchi alone in advance because the way points are not where you expect...
Hi All:
I did a quick video comparing the results of Google Earth Pro/Virtual Litchi Mission to actual footage from the Phantom 4 Pro. While not a perfect match, my impression is that GEP/VLM does an excellent job of providing the necessary information to frame your videos in advance. Here is...
Hi All:
I have just flown my first full mission created with Google Earth, Litchi, and Virtual Litchi Mission. Everything that Virtual Mission Planning/Google Earth Pro showed would be in the field of view was actually what was in the camera. Works great!!!!!!!!! Thank you Gingerbloke and...
Hi C,
Think more in terms of flying waypoint missions. Let's say you want to fly from point A at 100' AGL to point B that is 1000' away and 200' AGL, at a steady 5 mph, and at the same time maintain a subject in the center of frame. I find it to be a challenge to simultaneously and smoothly...
Gentlemen:
Thank you for these URLs. I am currently working my way though this information to do a better job planning missions. Armed with this information my on location efforts will be much more efficient.

Hi All,
I am using Litchi and Autopilot to plan missions in advance. One of the issues I am having is understanding what will be in the field of view of the camera for a given altitude and gimbal pitch.
I am developing the impression that advance planning is almost valueless because there is...
