To Start Virtual Waypoint Missions

Start virtual waypoint missions by creating a flight plan in the normal way. Press the start mission button (play button) and then select the heading mode “Virtual Stick”. You will need to acknowledge a few extra warning messages to start the virtual waypoint mission.

Known Issues

  • Very long flights (> 30km) generate mission errors. There is an undocumented flight validation in some DJI drone firmware versions. If you are planning long flights you will needed to ensure they meet this validation: The total waypoint distance is less than 30 km, or the total waypoint distance + current location to the first waypoint + last waypoint to the home point totally is less than 40 km.
