- Thread starter solentlife
- Start date
I went for a flight tonight 9 (2 hours ago) and I had a red bar saying there was new firmware on the app.
Let me fly fine without updating yet, I'm on IOS btw.

I see you use Icarus. Did you put all back to standard before you did the upgrade? I had Icarus installed on my P3S before I sold it. I forgot to mention that to the purchaser. The author advises to put things back to standard before updating the firmware. I am wondering if it has caused him any problems as he may not have purchased Icarus so wouldn't have been able to remove it. Also has the update disabled Icarus?
I updated this afternoon and everything went well. Took it out for a flight and didn't notice anything different, didn't seem to lose any settings either.
Just checked for an app update after reading the post above and indeed there was one. Just did that and I'll do a little in home test before taking it out in the morning.

I don't think so unless the guys of magic power made an update to support this new firmware.
There seems to be some paranoia going around that this latest FW allied with Go will restrict users by imposing limits ... but I don't see any problems in this new FW ... especially that they had already announced plans to implement GeoFencing etc.
When I get to a clear area and weather improves - I now have latest FW and updates of Apps. P3S has talked across all its parts to ensure batterys / display / RC / AC are all at latest ... I intend to try a flight with NO app operating. Just as a straight RC + AC trial ... see what happens.

It was one of the reasons why I moved to Icarus, MP when 1.07.09 came out failed to work. Took a rewrite ...
I can say that I checked my Icarus today ... all there just the same 27db on both RC and AC. In fact to make sure all was still operable - I reverted to Factory and redid Icarus to 27 ... worked same as always - like a charm.

Both Go app and FW on bird are up to date. All actions with the bird seem to be o.k. and i have a smooth video feed on my tab.
Nor did I ... so I downloaded it from the site listed.
I'm a Hero ... I did it to install and be one of the first to say Yea or Nay to it working ...
Don't all throw money and medals all at once !!

OK ... on the subject of App and disconnect ....
Litchi has option to do autonomous mission flight where you can set the AC to fly well out of RC range and it will follow a set course / height etc. etc.
This effectively means that the AC will be disconnected from APP during the flight mission ....
Because the Mission upload over-rides the RTH when it flies out of signal range - does it also over-ride this 30m x 50m limit this FW imposes ?

Wow/ Good question. If it does that would most likely put an end to Litchi for me anyway.
Did a quick test flight: 1015m (3330ft) at 100m (328ft) altitude, both control and video signals were good, GPS good (11 sats). Video got weaker when I turned the AC 180 degrees to come back. All good.
