[QUOTE="Dronason, post: 8443, member: 553"] Yes, the DAT file has more info than the app .TXT flight record. To get your .DAT flight record, you were right, ASSISTANT2, DATA UPLOAD (strange name), press CONFIRM, select the flight you want to check and press SAVE TO LOCAL.[ATTACH=full]770[/ATTACH] Then you select the directory where it should be saved. [ATTACH=full]771[/ATTACH] Then you can use CsvView [URL="https://datfile.net/CsvView/downloads.html"]CsvView Downloads[/URL] to plot selected flight data versus time. DatCom [URL="https://datfile.net/DatCon/downloads.html"]DatCon Downloads[/URL] can be used to convert the files to other formats. Minimum reading is the CsvView manual otherwise you will be lost. Regarding your issue, maybe the compass is not well calibrated (whatever says the app) or you have a lot of steel in the ground and your height was not enough that its influence is negligible. Since a first crash with a Phantom similar you yours I always lift it up a few meters (above my head) and hover for a few seconds to see if it is stable before going further away. Maybe an IMU calibration could be good, at least check that their values are really close to zero. Normally you should have got some error messages in case the sensors output are conflicting. See [URL="https://www.spark-help.com/Spark/"]DJI Spark Accessories & Tips - Spark Help[/URL] section How-Tos, Calibration. Also a compass calibration in a field where any metal is fare away could be recommended. See [URL="https://sparkpilots.zone/threads/compass-calibration-guide.69/"]Compass Calibration Guide[/URL] Most probably you already know all of this from your Mavic, sorry in advance. [/QUOTE]
