Decrypt any DJI flight log with Flight Reader

[msinger]

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.6.3 includes the following changes:

• Added support for processing Mini 4K flight logs.
  
  
• When flight logs are synced using the “File” → “Sync Flight Logs” menu item at the top of the main Flight Reader window, TXT flight logs found on any Android devices (phone/tablet/DJI RC) connected to your computer will be automatically imported into Flight Reader. If Flight Reader is started after connecting an Android device, the TXT flight logs will be synced automatically when Flight Reader starts.
  
  Note: Make sure your Android device is connected to your computer using a USB cable that supports data transfers (some USB cables are for charging only). For Android phones/tablets, choose the “File Transfer” USB mode when prompted after connecting the USB cable. For DJI RCs (with a screen), check that you have the latest firmware installed if you have any trouble transferring flight logs.
  
  
• New settings have been added in the “KML” section of the Flight Reader Options window to set the width, color, and transparency of the ground line in the generated KML files.
  
  
• Resolved an issue that was causing some flight logs to fail to process when flight log fields contained an empty value.

See the release notes for a complete list of changes.

• Removed the repeated “Auto returning to home” placemarks from the map and KML while the aircraft is returning home.
  
  
• When adding new fields in the “Logs/Reports” section of the Flight Reader Options window, the new field is added below (instead of above) the field selected in the “Selected Fields” list.
  
  
• The “Sync History” menu item is only displayed in the “File” menu when history data is available.

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.6.21 includes the following changes:

• Added a new "OSD.yaw [unwrapped]" field for easier visualization of aircraft yaw changes. This field shows the aircraft's cumulative rotation angle, with positive values indicating clockwise turns and negative values indicating counterclockwise turns, reflecting total degrees turned in either direction.
  
  
• Added an optional "Battery Times Charged" column to the Flight Reader main window. To add this column, right click the column headers and select "Customize Columns".
  
  
• Updated the "Flight Date" dropdown at the top of the Flight Reader main window to include the count of flights displayed in the main window.
  
  
• Enhanced performance and precision of the fly time line drawn on charts when moving the mouse pointer over graphed lines.
  
  
• Removed the Byte Order Mark (BOM) from the first line of CSV files generated by Flight Reader. This change ensures compatibility with CsvView and other CSV viewers that cannot process CSV files with BOMs.
  
  
• Remember the last selected column sort order in the Flight Reader main window and improved performance when loading or reloading flights.

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.7.7 includes the following changes:

• Added support for processing Matrice 4E flight logs.
  
  
• The “Home point updated” message is now suppressed when the home point shifts less than a few inches. The generated aircraft log will still record these minor adjustments for models affected by what appears to be a bug in the DJI flight log creation process. However, since the change in home point location is minor, it’s no longer included in the “APP.tip” field.

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.7.8 includes the following changes:

• For drone models with dual batteries, the serial numbers for both batteries are now stored in the SERIAL.battery and SERIAL.battery2 fields.
  
  
• Serial numbers can be found in the RECOVER.*, DETAILS.*, and SERIAL.* fields depending on where they are extracted from flight logs. All serial numbers have been combined together and stored in the SERIAL.* fields. When referencing serial numbers, use the SERIAL.* fields as they now provide the most complete data.
  
  
• Added more size options to the Log Viewer Map Size setting in the General section of the Flight Reader Options window, allowing greater customization of the Google Map height in the Map log viewer.
  
  
• Flight path markers on the Google Map are now only displayed when the home point is initially set or manually reset by the pilot. While small automatic home point adjustments, such as those made by drone models like the Air 3S, are still logged in the APP.tip field with "Home Point Updated" messages, they will no longer appear as markers on the Google map to reduce visual clutter.
