    DJI Flight Simulator

    I can't get past the launcher screen after the installation. It says "already installed". No matter what I try. Anyway, why is this thread in the Inspire2 section? This is for Inspire1 and 2 (and others). More like a general topic.

    Official DJI flight Simulator

    Have you tried it already? All I get is the launcher screen telling me to install while I already installed it. Of course I get an error when I press install....

    Inspire 1 V2 question

    The great thing about the I1 is the absence of obstacle avoidance and selfie modes. I love it and prefer it above anything else. Only the size makes me grab the Mavic Pro regularly. But I usually end up regretting not bringing the I1 when I fly the MP. It is that much more fun to fly. It's more...

    Weird GPS loss

    I had the same problems with the compass at my last job a week ago. Very strange that I couldn't calibrate, on the middle of a beach, without any kind of interference. My Mavic didn't have any trouble at all. My guess is a flaw in the latest GO3 update (stupid that I accepted the update at all)...

    Critical Failure of T*Motor Props during shoot

    I still use the old (plastic) screw on props on my I1. Simple, effective, reliable, safe.

    X3 Camera not panning

    great!
  7. lake_flyer

    Which camera can do these things?

    yes all I1 cameras will allow full manual settings. I never used my X3 on auto so I don't even know how well auto works.

    Compass and GPS Error during Flight

    Compass calibration, when it's absolutely not needed, can always result in a bad calibration. Why calibrate if it already was calibrated? I haven't calibrated over a year. The last calibration I did WAS on a bad spot. I got an error after starting up that the compass needed calibration. I didn't...

    Compass and GPS Error during Flight

    Agreed. If you GPS receiver isn't broken then, under normal conditions, GPS signal should be quite steady give or take 1 or 2 sats. I never lost GPS just like that, ever, with any GPS device.

    Do DJI owe me a new drone

    I know them well and yes I can confirm they are.

    Is the Inspire 1 Raw still viable? Or is the Inspire 2 taking over

    Thanks Slim. Yes, been a while. Good to see you are still here as well!

    New hand catch hardware option for Inspire 2

    Does the I2 have Landing Protection, like the Mavic? If so, switch it off in Go4. No more fighting.

    I2 Beta flight simulator

    Looks like a game to me. A simulator would show a view from the ground in order to simulate the reality. DJI did a good job with the I1 sim in Go3. At least it's quite accurate. Not fancy but useful for experimenting with settings.

    Best Exponential and Gain Settings

    Yep, there's always a trade off. And preparation, test flying and getting used to those settings, is always a must. I seldom have to give any sudden full stick while I'm flying normally, only when a helicopter suddenly comes out of nowhere at 100 feet high. But when tracking a rally car I...

    Is the Inspire 1 Raw still viable? Or is the Inspire 2 taking over

    LOL So within a cycle of, what, 3 years max, cameras become classic? What a world. Really, we should stop accelerating our consumption exponentially and use what we have to the full. My classic I1 is as good as it was the first day (better even, after all flaws have finally been programmed...
