Aircraft orientation during flight

[Snarg]

Apologies in advance if this is a lame question. I am new to the Phantom and have yet been able to fly mine.

My previous drone had a, 'headless', setting, meaning, on the controller, forward was always forward, regardless what direction the front of the aircraft is pointing. Does the P3S have such a setting, or is it like that out of the box?

Thank you in advance and, please, don't think less of me for this question

Have a look at “course lock”.

 

[Mark The Droner]

Home lock, too. They are IOC functions.

Home Lock can be a life saver. If you get out and a bit disoriented, home lock can reel it in regardless of what direction it's pointed. The simulator on DJI GO is a great place to try it out.
