I am referring to the pre-flight screens. When setting up the flight, I find it hard to manage all the icons on the split landscape screen.
You mean on the iPhone 6 Plus? You can tap the arrows in the top left to get more horizontal space, or you can rotate the phone to Portrait, or you can open the flight dashboard and use the map there.
After reading all the modes and what the RC input does, I have to say that some of the controls don't seem intuitive..
This is one of those things that makes more sense when you are doing it in person. For example, imagine you are standing at the center of the Orbit, and the aircraft is facing you. If you were manually controlling the aircraft, which direction would you move the right stick to make it move away from you? The answer is of course, down (pitch backward).
Obviously there are cases, such as using a POI center, where you may not be standing in the center, and therefore it seems less intuitive, but it didn't make much sense to have the sticks take into account the aircraft relation to you at all times, because you as an operator may not even have a known location.
In the end we decided that the majority of the time, the aircraft is focusing on a subject location, and if you imagine yourself at the same location as that subject, the controls should be the same as if you were flying the aircraft manually from that location.
Any chance of submission happening earlier?
You mean earlier than Aug 31? Unlikely, as most of our testers put in their time on the weekends and we want one last chance to make sure there are no critical bugs. It does not good to submit, just to realize there is a critical bug and then have to pull it back.
