P3 STANDARD Corse Lock need help.

[Nemo]

Forgive me if I'm sounding stupid but does the P3S using the DJI GO app have Corse Lock, Home Lock, and way points? I have been trying to engage corse lock and can't get it to come on. I do what is instructed on the YouTube videos and no results. Can someone give me the proper procedure. Also, my controller is the type that has the toggle switches on the upper right and left corners and the camera tilt wheel on the upper left... Thanks for your help.

Nemo, top right toggle down all the way for multifunction mode. The. You will see a button to push on the app when flying. Make sure the bird is set to allow multifunction mode also in the bird settings on the flying screen in the app. Hope that helps. I just checked today at lunch and it worked on my P3S.

Nick is right .This is the setting in app Nemo and it has to be in the air when you toggle the S1 down to see the icon .
You will find what you look for then .

Thanks guys I will try it out this weekend...

Ok guys I have done everything you have suggested and I still get no corse lock display on my dji go app. I set the multi flight mode do all my preflight checks and fly off. Then I flip the S1 switch down and nothing... Any more suggestions???

On the left side of screen does another icon show up under auto take off/land icon when switch is moved down??? Does it change from P-gps to F??? Check this video out

I will take another look at the icons under the auto take off...thanks.

On the P3 remote, there are two switches:

Right switch is S1
Left switch is S2

S1 selection, from top to bottom:
P - GPS mode (GPS-stabilized flight)
A - Atti mode
F - Function / IOC mode (GPS-stabilized flight)

S2 selection, from top to bottom:
IOC off/disabled
C - Course Lock
H - Home Lock

To enter IOC mode, set the switches to the following:
S1 - Set to F
S2 - Set to either C or L

Note that for Home Lock to work, the aircraft should already be in the air, must have GPS lock, a valid Homepoint, and is flying at least 10 meters away from Homepoint.

I thought the S2 switch on the P3 was to initiate RTH?

 

[OrlyP]

I thought the S2 switch on the P3 was to initiate RTH?

Among a few other functions...

From the manual:
Toggle the S1 switch back and forth multiple times to regain the control of the aircraft during Failsafe RTH
Toggle the S1 switch back and forth for more than 3 times to calibrate the aircraft's compass.
Toggle the S1 switch to position 1 to enable P-Mode, to position 2 to enable A-Mode, and to pposition 3 to enable F-Mode
Toggle the S2 switch back and forth at least twice to initiate Smart RTH. Use the S2 switch and the gimbal dial to link with the aircraft and reset the WiFi password.

I thought you were saying he had to use the S2 to use course lock function

Thank you guys for the advice and Procharged97 your advice and video worked. No where in the instructions from DJI does it tell me to do that so again thank you and I feel so much better having access to those functions.
OrlyP thank you also and I will try your method too next time out. It also sounds right.

There's a lot of things that the manual don't tell ya but that's why Phantom Pilots is here !
