Added support for:
Digital Terrain file
A Digital terrain file is a raster GIS file format developed by ESRI, which is available in 2 forms. The binary format is proprietary and cannot be used by DJI Ultimate Flight, the ASCII format is non-proprietary and can be used by DJI Ultimate Flight to calculate between above ground level (AGL) and above takeoff (ATO) levels when creating waypoint missions.
There are a number of resources to obtain DTM files, the most common being an export from applications like ArcGIS but many other applications can also save ASC files. ASC files may also be available online for your flying areas but it may take some searching to locate them.
Place ASC files into the “DTM” folder under DJI_Ultimate_Flight and the application will automatically make use of the file. Once the folder has been created you will have a number of advanced features available to you. The most common will be the ability to create waypoint missions with altitudes defined as AGL. Prior to flight, the app will read the elevation information from the DTM file and convert the defined altitudes to ATO as required for correct flight. Another and possible future enhancement will be the ability to view flight altitude as AGL vs the current ATO giving you more complete and accurate flight information which would be able to take into account ground elevation changes over the flight area.
Once the DTM folder has been created you will see an additional tab in the mission browse dialog. The addition tab, labelled “DTM” allows you to load a DTM file and see the covered area. This will help make mission planning easier as you can quickly tell when a waypoint is inside the area covered by the DTM file.
