Hi, I have a mystery problem I would like some advice on.
I fly a Phantom 3 Standard, using the Litchi app. I recently tried to fly a mission, and the mission loaded, a message appeared that the mission had started (all as usual up until this point) - but then nothing happened. Here's what I have tried to troubleshoot:
1) I tried taking off manually from the take-off spot, and starting the mission while hovering instead. No luck, the P3S just kept right on hovering until I switched back to manual control and landed.
2) I tried flying other missions, and they work just fine.
3) I tried taking a nearby (15 km away) mission that works, and I moved the waypoints to the site I wanted to fly over, but no luck, after moving the waypoints the P3S will not fly the mission.
4) I tried flying manually in the general area (to test if it's an issue of a no-fly zone in the P3S firmware), and I can fly manually just fine.
5) I tried creating another mission that has the P3S flying across several no-fly zones (Ottawa airport and the Prime Minister's residence) before crashing into the Parliament buildings. The P3S would happily fly that mission if I let it - I started the mission without propellers attached and the motors started spinning for take-off. So no-fly zones don't seem to be the problem here.
6) I tried adjusting the altitude of the flight - it's a pretty hilly area. But having the P3S fly at 300m (far above the hills) still didn't work. So it's not a terrain avoidance issue either as far as I can tell.
7) I tried creating a highly simplified mission in the same area, with only 2 waypoints, and that still won't fly.
At this point I am truly lost for ideas. I've uploaded the .csv file exported from Litchi Mission Hub here, with the extension changed to to .txt because I can't upload .csv files here. If anybody can make this simple mission work, please let me know what the magic trick is and I will try it out.
