How to set way points for vertical flights in Litchi?

[stamac706]

Hello Everyone,

I need someone to help me... I'd like to set up a couple of way points in Litchi, but vertically (height) and do the flight. For example, I'd like to tape the facade of a building or a house and cannot do it because I only can see the map from above in 2D, horizontally. My logic says that I should put one of the way points right over the first one, but I don't know if that makes sense. Please help!!! Thank you...

That should work. Just give them all the same lat/long coordinates and different altitudes.

But how am I gonna know if a second way point was dropped on the top of the first? How am I gonna tap on it?

I would set it up in the web-based mission hub - that way you can inspect each waypoint separately.

Alternatively you can try Hammer.

https://www.hammermissions.com

Hammer is similar to Litchi but can do vertical missions. It’s iOS only and is still in beta testing. If you go to their website you can request access to be beta tester.

FWIW I have been testing it since January on my P3S and Spark and it has been rock solid.

I have been flying Litchi since 2016 and also use Litchi Mission Hub. I have 601 miles on my DJI P3P now. Most of the miles is waypoint missions with altitude changes. Litchi is rock solid, and never has let me down. I also use www.airdata.com What a combination!!!!
