Flight controller firmware has been updated to v3.12.

I wonder if this just auto loads when in assistant ?


Firmware Updates on March 03, 2015
Overview：
a) Flight controller firmware has been updated to v3.12.
Major New Features
a) No-Fly Zones have been updated to include a 25km radius centered in Washington, DC.
b) The compass calibration program has been optimized to improve reliability.
c) When automatic landing is initiated, users can now continue to control the aircraft’s position and
altitude. During this process, the maximum speed of ascent is 1 m/s.
d) After an automatic landing has been completed and the motors have stopped spinning, users can
immediately restart the motors and begin a new flight.
Special Note:
a) It is recommended that the compass be calibrated in an environment that is free from sources of
potential interference. If you become aware of any source of potential interference, move to a
different location and calibrate the compass again. Be aware that underground metal pipes may cause
interference when the aircraft is close to the ground during compass calibration.

Based on earlier 'sloppy' introduced fw-updates by dji, I will NOT update the fw on my p2v+ v3 for a while. I do hope though, that members of this forum with good sw/fw-experise are willing to test this fw update and report back on this forum. I will await their reports.

I downloaded the new Assistant version 3.8 and the 3.12 firmware update did not auto load. I had to select the 3.12 firmware on the upgrade page for it to download this update.

That's good to know,Thanks

I upgraded to v3.12 today. I had never downgraded from 3.10 as I had no issues with it. 3.12 flew perfectly throughout the test flight. I really like being able to control the Phantom 2V+ in descent when "Coming Home" without having to cycle the S2 switch. Hope it goes well for you.

Anyone else upgrade successfully?

Maybe that was a typo.
S2 switch won't help much there - it should be the S1 switch.

I see no reason to upgrade beyond 3.08. Why will I want more no-fly zones, limit the battery brands to use and pushing unwanted firmwares into my bird? :roll:

Really, I mean, what if I want to film the Washington Monument from the air! Oh wait, that's illegal already. Hmmm.... well you never know.

S1 is right. I always think of the 2 on the right instead of the left. My mistake.

For what purpose? It's not like you're being forced to upgrade. In fact on there isn't a v3.12 upgrade on the P2 NV assistant software.
