Let me know please.Weather is terrible here.Really? Hope so. I will test it tomorrow.
Where at? I live at Bismarck!Im in North Dakota. Wide open flat area for days, lol! Didnt get a screenshot at 84 as it was difficult to do so while flying and by the time I got it id lost a couple mphs.View attachment 3522
It happened with the first GO -app and I think it's not back with the latest version.I used Autopilot follow this past weekend and the Inspire was able to go from behind us to in front of us while we were going about 45mph. It still seemed pretty fast to me. When did this reduction in speed happen? What firmware first modified it? I don't remember reading anything about it.
I have tested this many times on pretty much the same conditions and I'm sure that there is a speed reduction .After Firmware 1.0.3 I couldn't reach my old speed.Even ATTI mode wasn't at old level.Sure if you have a good tailwind you go faster.Have tested this today in GPS and ATTI and it's still there.I've never seen any speed reduction with any firmware or app... the daily wind conditions will however obviously cause big variations from one day to the next. Pretty sure that's what people forget about.
i dont update my bird but from how i understand it the newest version just release has corrected it back to normal and the previous version is the one with the reduction in speeds. Ive seen more than one person commenting on it. Anyone whos flown more than twice should notice that wind affects speeds so i doubt its just that, but i guess you never know, lol!I've never seen any speed reduction with any firmware or app... the daily wind conditions will however obviously cause big variations from one day to the next.

Hey all, I was having a conversation earlier today with a friend about piloting skills. He was going on about how good this pilot he saw at a wedding was, and how he would orbit perfectly around people. I am not too bad myself in piloting and know that orbiting can be tricky.
It was a complete coincidence that a few hours later I find out the new firmware has come out. And I just want to express my worries that, just like airline pilots we might go obsolete some day. It kind of sucks that everything is becoming automated doesn't it?
I mean it kind of puts me down that a complete noob can push a button and come out with better results than an experienced pilot.
Also, if any of the devs are reading this. Why the hell did you slow down the Inspire???? Its one of the main reasons I bought it over other quads. FIX IT PLEASE. Thanks for a wonderful drone otherwise
Did test it yesterday and it's not back.****!I still have not gotten the chance to test it yet. Can anyone confirm the speed is back?
Good point, thanks. That helped me a bit.I can't completely agree with that. There is never a good substitution for skill. I try to fly in atti as much as I can to improve those skills. What if they lose GPS? What if the conditions don't allow them to use GPS? I always admired a skilled person at work, whether they are a pilot, mason, roofer, or any type of skilled worker. Be confidant in your abilities and they will show in your work. I can take awesome videos but they'll never be equal to a skilled videographer or photographer. Don't sell yourself short.
I absolutely disagree with your opinion, the problem that I see time and time again in this industry is that people don't take the time to learn how to be a pilot before they start flying. What is your course of action when that technology fail. It is imperative that you learn how to fly without the use of assisted technology instead of putting your faith in said technology.Hey all, I was having a conversation earlier today with a friend about piloting skills.

Amen brother amen!I tried out the POI feature and was pretty unimpressed. It couldn't seem to hold true center as it orbited. Height at 15 meters was the best but still not perfect. Piloting skills will never go out of style. Ask the pilot who emergency landed on the Hudson. A skilled pilot can do anything a computer program can do...only better. Check out my findings at
