Switch to FCC mode in Europe, and fly miles instead of just 300 meters with P3SE
- Thread starter PhantomFlyer3SE
- Start date
Hi, I encountered another problem in 3.1.18 apk,
I can not see flight records, there they are but I do not see when I start playback,
I just see the place I took off
also during the flight I have no map

hi, if not a problem, can you tell me which phone or tablet you use with P3se, which version of the software
I think the problem is in the device

I'm a slow learner... If I install the modified app on an android phone, and make the switch to FCC - will I be able to use my Iphone 6 with Litchi (or do I need a 6s or newer)?
You are smarter than you think. When you fly with Litchi (iOS), your drone does not switch back to CE mode.
Thank you for answer
I was just confused with this writing in the first post of this thread: "You can use Litchi for flying in FCC mode, if you have one of the next devices: iPad Air 2 tablet, iPad Mini 4 tablet, iPad 5th generation or higher tablet, iPhone 6s or newer phone"
I just don't want to spend a lot of money on the Litchi app for my Iphone 6 and not be able to use it in FCC.
WichThe information is already written in other topics, but in many posts, I think it will be much easier to find all the information together as a first post in specific topic.
So, I describe the currently known solutions.
Easiest option for Android users:
The usage of partched version of DJI Go 3.1.18 android. In this case you doesn't have to switch to FCC mode, the patched App will do it automatically. App and knowledge you can find in the next topic:
P3SE solution but... who is speaking Russian
Download link for modded app:
mod_3.1.18_fcc_v3.rar
In this case you do not need tho do everything else, just use the app. But you run the risk of using application which was modified by anyone else. If you want avoid this risk:
Second option for Android users without using patched apps:
It is the solution for you, if do you have the latest firmware and latest app version, you are in Europe, and your drone is in CE mode, it means, that you can’t fly more than 300-500 meters.
If you follow the steps described below, your drone will be in FCC mode, which means higher radio signal emission level, and results 5-7 time higher distance range for your drone.
Let’ start.
1, Install fake GPS application on your device. Recommended app for android: Fake GPS location - Android Apps on Google Play
2, Start fake GPS and chose a location somewhere in the United States (meanwhile you have to enabled the mock location function on your device) Do the check of your location on google maps
3, disable SIM card(s) on your device
4, Hide the satellites from your AC (AirCraft), even if you are indoor it can be necessary to cover it with big metal plate (e.g pot lid)
5, switch on your RC( RemoteController) then your AC.
6, Connect your device to the wifi of your RC
7, Start DJI Go app, enter camera view. You have to get “Switch WLAN setting” screen, which tells you that your AC is flying in different country and it will reset the WLAN. If you don’t get the window, stop and restart the app until you get it.
8, Press OK and wait until camera view disconnects, and comes back again
9, You are in FCC mode now, please double check it by opening wifi settings, and check how many wifi channels are available in 2.4 GHz band. 13 means CE mode, 11 means FCC – this is what we need. You are now in FCC mode, but you have to stay in this mode as well, and is not possible with latest app version.
10, stop the DJI Go app and uninstall it from your device (you do not need to do any extra deletion of hidden folders, some people recommends but it is not necessary)
11, Connect your device to your local wifi and download DJI GO version 3.1.8 Free Download APK File of the DJI GO v3.1.8 for Android - APK4Fun
12, Install the 3.1.8 version, start it and do a login.
13, Connect your device to your the wifi of your RC
14, Restart the app. On the 3.1.8 version you can not choose P3SE, but if you connect your device to the RC the app will automatically detect it. You are ready now!
15, You can switch off Fake GPS, you can enable SIM card, and your drone is allowed to get GPS satellite connection
The 3.1.8 version app cannot switch wifi mode, so as long you do not upgrade it, you will stay in FCC mode, which gives you stable video signal on long distance. Do not forget to disable auto upgrade of your applications. (For android in playstore/settings/auto update)
With 3.1.8 version you lost the possibility to do manual change of wifi channels. You will stay in 5GHz mode. In this version the follow-me mode doesn't work. You have to know, that this older app version is not so stable, as the newest. If you have any problem at start, try restart the app, and if needed the AC as well. If I have already started the flight, in the air has no problem anytime. From the other side you get five time higher range. I think it worth it
Solution for IOS users
You can use Litchi for flying in FCC mode, if you have one of the next devices:
iPad 1, 2, 3, 4 and iPad Mini 2 are not suitable.
- iPad Air 2 tablet,
- iPad Mini 4 tablet
- iPad 5th generation or higher tablet
- iPhone 6s or newer phone
Before you can fly with Litchi in FCC mode, you need an android device to switsh to FCC mode.
You can youse eighter first or second option to do that.
Then you always have to use Litchi for control of the drone, it will never switch back to CE mode.
Have a good flight!
