It's the Splutch, it's a very important part of the craft, you should be very careful of it and watch it constantly
It does amazing things [emoji6]
See....It works now!
About bloody time [emoji3]
Now this update gets more interesting
See this from the Autopilot thread from DJI
The background is this firmware release also wasn’t planned and primarily addressed a security enhancement we wanted to push out ASAP (and didn’t need all the normal flight control testing). With the exception of some minor issues, firmware for flight control, camera etc weren’t updated to the next major release (which is still under testing - and has been for a while) where the issue below is fixed. The “planned" firmware release is currently the end of April.
Now what made them push this out ASAP hmmm
Ok thank you sooo much...i will start watching it every minute now....

This is totally screwed up...I'm having the same issues. As are many other people. DJI needs to communicate now with us and let us know they will be dealing with all of this. I just went back to previous firmware. I have always updaded in a timely manner with firmware updates...with no real install issues.
I never updated to the 1.5.8.0 controller firmware, so will that cause me any issues to now do this latest firmware update?
nice to watch all this from first row and not touching it

If your having issues getting the update to show in DJI Go try my post above, as long as your above V1.320 then the controller will update via the DJI Go App to the latest.

So there is nothing that updated other than the security piece yet they still have it there to download and install?
Updated both my Inspire 1 (X3's) aircraft, RC's and 7 batteries with this firmware. Flights today were good. No issues noted.
I had an issue with one battery during the update. It initially failed, and aircraft was making a noise like a banshee. Found I had to use another battery to restart the Inspire to clear the problem, but on the second attempt the battery upgraded and now reports reports normal.

How far did you fly out? Is the range still good 500m to 1km + with no drop out?
Hey John Alan-May I ask where in central Illinois you are? I live in Monticello, about 25 miles west of Champaign. I know what you mean about weather. I was playing pick-up-sticks in the yard yesterday afternoon. Started raining, changed to sleet, then snow, then the sun came out.Oh look... the weather report says FW is cloudy with ill winds blowing...
Guess I'll keep my birds inside and unplugged till the storm blows over...
I'll check back in a week and see if things are better...
In other news... NOAA says cold and windy... wasn't worth flying anyway...
Hoping to fly my V2 soon if the weather ever gets better. Only got about 10 minutes on it in the back yard.
Updated AC, then 5 batt and after that the RC: no problems. Testflight was ok (total 50 mins) although on 1 occ landing gear went down spontaneously when hovering at approx. 50 mtrs high. Since my last flight was about 200km's away I did a compass calibration out in the open field, 150 mtrs away from my car (no cell phone, no wiring etc.). Readings ~1350 and ~ 1500. Couldn't get better numbers after several attempts. Didn't experience this before, not sure it has todo with the new upgrade...... Had fun and the weather was nice today!
Guys, please read the instructions very carefully, and re-read it again.
Do you have a single controller system or a dual controller system. In previous solutions, it was advised to set your slave Controller as the Master controller, and then continue with updates. Once all working, don't forget to re-configure your Master/Slave architecture.
All, do aircraft first, then controllers. Thanks.

Oh now they tell us. LOL Actually, I appreciate the potential for fixing the "no signal" issue. It's a real pain in the you know what.
P3 update went just fine, updating the craft 1st as the instructions for 1.8 reflect. However, I'm not getting any "update beeps" for the Inspire 1 with the X5 attachment installed. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
Hi, First post but did the aircraft along with three batteries and no problem. Started the controller and got the "lost signal" graphic and no update notice. Removed the app, reinstalled and within a few seconds of restarting the app the update was available, installed and all is well. I wonder if Microsoft did the firm and software for this thing what with the endless stream of updates.
