Hi guys. I heard in passing that signal loss from the RC would NOT automatically trigger RTH if you are currently flying with one of the new features.
I have not yet updated (traveling without my P3) but I have been reading threads and watching the how to videos. I don't recall seeing any warning about auto RTH being lost if the features are in use. Did I miss that incredibly important little tidbit? Can anyone confirm?
Note - user selected RTH if still signal connected is not an issue from what I heard. Only the auto RTH if signal is lost when using new features. For example, if using POI and the signal is lost the bird will circle until critical battery and then land even if over water.
Again, can anyone confirm? I'd love to know for sure before I get home.
I think you don't want automatic return to home because it's possible to program a route in waypoints and perhaps point of interest where you want the bird to fly behind something. All the bird needs is good gps and the location of the next waypoint to fly to that point. Automatic return to home could interrupt your pre-planned course if triggered by loss of signal.
