[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 105459, member: 18605"] I'm not suggesting flight tracking in itself is a bad thing. I also use Flightaware and FlightTracker, but the aircraft's position data is based off transponder information required to operate in the airspace. My concern is what impact would a DJI update have on existing flight control software. Of course programs such as Litchi, Drone Harmony, Red Waypoint and Dronelink are all based on an SDK provided by DJI. I'd imagine if DJI decided to release an update that provided said tracking capability, it's likely those 3rd party programs would not be compatible, at least not for awhile. My second concern is whether DJI exercises the update as mandatory and would apply to legacy and current drones. If you're using one of the aforementioned flight planning programs for a project, you're out of business until such times as they can be made compatible. Do you think if DJI "decided...(to) force its customers to install the update", means they could/would render any non-updated drone inoperable? [/QUOTE]
