I can confirm this, especially if you look at the LED (I think there are actually three colored LEDs) from the side, it's sometimes hard to tell the colors. However, for basic states like Atti (yellow) and GPS (red), the LED works well. It's just hard to keep every single color pattern in mind...

GS Simulation mode: 1. Take care! Although I thought did (take care), it happended to me that the MR took off, obviously I did something wrong, that's for sure. 2. Take care, take off propellers or tie it down to the ground or anything else. 3. Simulation mode is ok, however, it's just a...

You're right. Find doesn't work properly because they/DJI use a strange PDF-Writer, which doesn't produce well-behaving PDF documents when it comes to search. VPN-mode is mentioned in Options (last tab). It also appears as a label or push button (it's always hard to tell what the GS widgets...

Yesterday I flew the first time with some wind, not much, about 15 km/h (10 miles per hour). Instead of a perfect stabilization in calm conditions, the MR waggles quite significantly. Altidude control is fine. Current gain settings for my 6kg AD-8 (incl. payload) are: - Basic Pitch/Roll/Yaw...

I always use altidude offset without thinking/changing anything, selecting height mode. It works pretty well, however, there is some magic going on. I still haven't understood why GS is relying on altitude (above sea level) at all. If I understand WKM and GS right, the height is determined by a...

Can anyone tell me what DJI refers to when talkling about VPN Mode. For me, VPN stands for virtual private network -- no idea how this term is related to online/offline usage of GS depending on whether you have internet access (online) or no internet access (offline). VPN according to...

Speaking for WKM the 3 basic modes are pretty simple: - GPS/Atti = Position Hold when Sticks are neutral - Atti = Auto-Level and Altitude-Control but no (wind) drift compensation, doesn't rely on GPS - Manual = minimal auto stabilization, even rolls and loopings are possible... Taking into...

That happened to me too, three times now. Switching power off/on usually helps and brings the LED back to normal. One time I didn't notice the missing LED strobes and I flew; Atti was ok, GPS/Atti didn't work (although GPS did work beforehand). My conclusion: In my case it seems to be a...

I also use a power supply indoors. But when I need to have a valid GPS signal, that's not very comfortable. That's why I came up with the fuse-idea. Disconnecting the WKM power unit is not easily possible, because almost everything is soldered and covered. And for a quick test I don't want to...

Quite often (e.g. using GS simulation mode) I need to power-up my MR in order to do some testing, however, I want to make sure that the aircraft doesn't take off inadvertently. DJI suggests to disconnect the motors / ESCs in such a case, but my motors / ESCs are hard-wired to the power...

Yeap. I would wish that DJI invests some effort in making GS more reliable and field ops proove rather than creating iPad apps for WKM. I can hardly believe that any serious pilot would use an iPad for controlling his expensive MR. But honestly I believe that DJI's strenght is hardware and...

I made pretty promising attempts using MacroScheduler in order to simplify GS usage. If somebody is interested in details I'm willing to share my experience. IMHO, GS's "user interface" is designed like a poor office application, with tiny fonts, buttons you can hardly recognize as such and the...

GS installation is a nightmare, there must be one person as DJI who does nothing but helping customers to get it right...

I know it doesn't help but I would never dare installing a new firmware release just hours/a few days after release. It may have nothing to do with the crash at all, from what I understand I could also imagine a hardware failure.

I'm using the same 4.0.7 (test) GS software, which was installed on my netbook through DJI. It works the same way 4.0.6 should work.

Yes, and ... you can even fly in this condition, it doesn't hinder you from taking off. I would understand/welcome such a 'fallback mode' allowing me to still control the MR in a degraded way once airborne, but before takeoff, that's another story. I would expect the MR to clearly signal that...

That looks very cool and well controlled, respects! However, with my 2K SLR mounted on a 2-axis gymbal, and a total of 6 kg of mass, I doubt that I would be able to copy that video... Maybe it would look spectacular too, but just in another way.

I have a T12FG, I don't know the T8FG's capabilities. AFR is, in fact, a very flexible way of mapping stick positions to channel output in general, or, specifically for each flight mode.

Thanks for the post. I have decided to use real flight modes, i.e., different Futaba flight conditions. By using Futaba's AFR functionality I can define linear, expo or point curves for each channel per flight mode. That makes it pretty easy to change the behavior of a single switch depending...

Yeap, that works.
