Litchi Tutorial - Recording a POI for repeated flying

So I flew the route etc and saved the poi under missions, but when I load the mission there is no play button to refly the mission? Help please :)
 
Was it an ORBIT mission? If so activate orbit mode.
 
Yes it was. I started the ORBIT mode, flew the orbit missions, saved the mission, and can load it BUT cant work out how re-fly that mission again. Screenshot below. notice how the waypoint mode has a play button but the ORBIT mode does not? (even after i have loaded the mission in).

So my question is, when i load a mission how do i get the drone to re-fly that mission?

Put the switch in P mode, take off and hover, open up the orbit mission that you have saved and you should be able to see a start button on the app to launch it. Page 31 of the manual that I linked earlier. I was going to run one of my missions just to confirm what I've done in the past but of course it has started raining....
 
Tap the blue ballon. Does that have a "START" button in it's page?

LOL Story of my life.... rained here for 12 days straight.... Phantom batteries started ot discharge !

I have the drone in P mode, take off, click the folder icon, load the POI I saved earlier and then there is no where ot push play?

I tried ot click the blue balloon too but the iPad thought I was moving the balloon elsewhere.

All I need is to have a START button and my problem is solved. It should not be this difficult! I tried ot click the blue icon (as per the screenshot) and it wont click.

is that what your meant?

Yep, touch the POI blue icon, and the settings should open up in a window. Check your settings etc and you should see 'start' at the bottom of the POI window on the app.
The sky cleared for about twenty minutes and I had a quick orbit mission to remind myself of how it works.....

Thanks for that! Its nearly dark here now (middle of winter) but I will try this tomorrow morning and report back. I thought I had pushed the blue balloon BUT I may not have as I may have held it down too long. Love this forum, always so many knowledgeable people and willing to help. Thanks for taking the time to go and try that out. Much appreciated :)

Spot on, I just tried it inside with everything running but the drone not actually flying and it allowed me to load the orbit mission then I quickly clicked on the blue balloon and BAM the options all came up, I am set to go now, thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I can now build this movie over the next six months. Thank you :)

No worries, blow your hair back and have fun. You can check the orbit mission off line by just opening up the app. Click on the relevant mission and check that you can see that all is good and notice the start button on the bottom of the mission window.

@Jason Cole,
Sounds like you got it going.

Wow looks like a big house, is there room for a garage in that circle or will it, the pool, tennis court and airport runway be next to it. :)

You need to add a tower to do your flying from. :rolleyes:

Hmmm not sure where the whole "rolleyes" comment comes from... that is not out entire block, we have a small section of it.... and we worked very hard and long hours and several years of saving to be able to afford it.... no tennis court or runway here... its not even a big block... 464sqm

Litchi Tutorial - Recording a POI for repeated flying
From your post on #28.
I had a good idea that your house wasn't going to be much bigger than the others in the neighbor hood.

"several years of saving to be able to afford it"
Yep,Yep,
Some people rent all there life. :(

Rod
 
I gave up my learjet so I could buy my Phantoms...
 
In short just

create a way point mission and save it as "my house" (for instance)

Save the mission

Now launch the mission

Watch the video you done

If your happy then keep that same mission then just launch it again and again when you need to
