I've seen several people mention that, in fact mention a lot of things, but until someone can point to some actual documentation (or a detailed operational test that they actually performed) there's no way to know whether such statements are accurate, or just repeating what someone else has said (or more likely speculated.)
I lost it.. :((

Exactly , when I buy a camera the book is 300+ pages and explains every feature the camera has in detail this really should be the same if not even better, this flys..
id like to see the follow path home feature in action, but im not about to turn off my controler and hope it works...
I am planning to test Return To Home, with Smart Return To Home activated, flying below the RTH altitude that I've set. I want to see if the aircraft elevates to my preset altitude or if it just retraces its steps.
Why would there be any need to turn off the controller to test the various Return To Home features? I'm just going to activate Return To Home via the button on the remote.
On another subject, my P4P sure is "ready to fly" a lot faster than my P3S and P3P ever were. Is the P4 also noticeably quicker to be ready than previous Phantoms? I don't know because I've never flown a P4.

as was stated before, there is word going around that the only way to get the ac to follow its path back home is if there is no connection to the rc.
I think the main reason to test turning off the remote is to see if it will retrace it's steps...I believe pushing the rth button will just cause the craft to goto rth elevation and head straight back to home
The aircraft only retraces steps if there is no TX connection. Any other RTH will beeline back.
This is an amazing recovery story, thanks go out to our smart mods. There's something to be learned here if this is normal behavior, and I tend to believe it is normal behavior and the cause of the mishap could have been the result of a combination of two things:
1. Glass was the obstacle, which OA may have problems detecting.
2. The light wasn't ideal, as the sun had set.
So, until we hear anything different DJI I'm going to assume that:
1. Glass is a problem for OA.
2. Twilight hours make OA unreliable (as implied in the manual)
3. I may need to buy a refresh policy for my P4P when it arrives.
I'm glad to hear that lickitysplit has a refresh policy. Hopefully he'll get his bird refreshed lickitysplit.

The P4P is 10mph faster than the P4 too! And the extra speed is so handy! Let's you fly a little higher and get the same speed of shot!
So the P4 isn't capable of the 45 mph speed that's stated in DJI's specs? The specs for the P4 and the P4P give the same 45 mph top speed for both.
Oh sorry man. I should have said it's 10mph faster than the P4 in P mode. It's pretty much same top speed on both at 45+
Both can do 45-50mph in sport mode. Neither is faster than the other in sport mode. The P4P is 10mph faster in P-mode though.
Or it could have been a combination of one thing:
1. RTH OA was not turned on.
I know the OP believes that it was, but regardless it is actually an unknown.
Thanks. I misunderstood what you said before. I'll put the blame on the fact that I am not at all familiar with the P4... I skipped that one.
Unconstitutional bureaucracy??? wtf. You must be closely connected with aviation.
