[QUOTE="fredoman, post: 56533, member: 3774"] I did some flying outside today with OTG, it worked perfectly. It was also the first time I really tried to fly missions with the app, here is my feedback : 1) In outside conditions I do not see the plane symbol very well on the satellite map, maybe because I am a bit color-blind. A color with more contrast to the background would help to find my Spark instantly on the map. 2) The POI mission did not work out as expected, the camera pointed high above the waypoint. Coming back home I rewatched the tutorial and found out that I would have needed to set the gimbal inclination to automatic mode. I would suggest to make this the default behavior for POI missions. 3) On my first mission the Spark stopped at the second waypoint with connection problems. It rested some seconds and then aborted the mission. I could fly it back manually without any problems however. This waypoint was maybe 150-200 m away which is normally no problem at all at this location for manual flying. I should mention that I usually fly in FCC mode and that I am living in a CE country ;) 4) Second mission with a smaller circuit worked out fine for different speeds (10km/h, 20 km/h, 30 km/h). At 30km/h it drifted sometimes quite a bit off the expected path and it stopped for a while time at one waypoint. That's not really a surprise, flying fast and precise is maybe not easy. 5) I was missing two important flight parameters on the screen : distance from homepoint and maybe also distance (or time) remaining on the mission. Would it be possible to add those ? So all in all a satisfying experience thank you very much for this nice piece of software. My only real issue are the connectivity problems. If you could find a way to prevent switching from FCC to CE (like in some modded apps) or make it optional (like in the original go app) this would make the app much more stable and safe to use for us living in the CE world. But as I understand the API does not allow this, too bad... [/QUOTE]
