We are having major image transmission issues with one of our Inspire 1 units to the point where is is not airworthy at this time and is grounded (AOG).
Upon startup, the camera initializes normally but then after a few seconds, begins to completely drop the signal including green lines, black lines, pixellated breakups, and then complete signal loss for 10-20 seconds at a time. I'd take a video but I think you get the picture.
Here's what we are running:
App - 3.1.12
Aircraft - 1.10.01.40
Remote - 1.7.60
Camera - 1.10.01.40
Troubleshooting: We have another Inspire 1 running the same exact FW setup and everything works perfectly. We have tried swapping multiple X3's and even a Z3 to the problematic aircraft to no avail. We experience the same transmission signal problems with all three cameras that we have. There is definitely something up with this aircraft and we need to get to the bottom of it to get it back into service.
We are leaning towards upgrading the aircraft to v01.11.01.50 as well as the controller to 1.7.80. However, as with any FW update, we are nervous to do that in itself.
If anyone can give us suggestions before we are forced to try an update, please let us know. We'd like to get this bird back in the air asap.
[*Before anyone asks, no the aircraft has never been crashed or even hard landed whatsoever.]
