I think this new two step process of stopping the motor will be difficult if we chose to catch the P4.

Tim,
Since the new motor stopping procedure is a result of an RC  update, will that procedure also apply to P3's or just the P4.  Thanks for the info.

Ut oh. Be careful what you wish for. Not sure this was thought out real well on the CSC change. On the rare occasion when I lose my bird, if I'm lazy if I'm done and landing, I'll hit RTH and while its landing, I'll start descending faster and while I'm doing that, I'll cancel the RTH by pressing the rth button out of habit. Must remember to not do that anymore. Well it's better than constant OCD I guess.

So your logic is don't make changes for people that deserve it?? Lol.

A large group of people have been lobbying for years to change this and some people have crashed and others worry because they have OCD (me), but you don't think they should change it why?

People that actually use their bird for real photography sometimes want to push back on the sticks without worrying they might accidently drift. Is there a reason you are so against it or is it because you're in that group that like to sound so good at flying that "why change it for the bafoons"? Ha

Thanks for the improved CSC procedure. That is vastly less likely to cause accidental in-flight shut downs.

No it won't affect hand catch. You can still hold down the throttle to make the motors stop after a few seconds as you do now. This change only affects the emergency CSC procedure which required two hands and two sticks. You won't be holding your drone if you need to do that.

Read the CSC thread. People were breaking their drones by doing it accidentally while flying. With the new sport mode, it is much more likely that accidental CSCs could occur with the old method. If you were flying backward and to the left and also descending and spinning right, the drone would drop out of the sky. Sport mode encourages this kind of extreme stick motion.

What went to 99%?
The downloading of the 1.7 firmware to your device, or the uploading the firmware from your device to the aircraft?

So remember...  If you've achieved firmware and then Go To Home, don't touch your stick...  unless you really intend to.

Try deleting the app and then reinstalling, and starting over.
This time when it gets to 99% and asks to unplug the cable and plug it back in after that also power cycle the aircraft.
Then after 100% complete, power cycle everything, the app, RC, and aircraft.

Where are you located?Since it shows RC unknown let's try to work on the RC.
It does not now give you a "RC needs updating" warning in the Aircraft Status page under "Overall Status, then tapping in that tab?

#8: Why would the obstacle sensing system be disabled? ever? - does that make sense?

THIS!

I (currently) have a P3A that I fly with PG's when in an area where there may be people around.
It's a safety feature.  Pure and Simple.

I hope to have PG's on the new P4 at some point.  But why would the obstacle sensing system be disabled with them on?
If I fly close to an object with the PG's off, the oss should stop my P4, right?  But if I fly with PG's on, the P4 will brush against the same obstacle?

I hope DJI fixes this.
Side note-
I fly with Red PG's on the front, and White ones on the rear.  It actually helps with orientation when I'm flying visually~

Always
