Your attitude is what organizations like DJI count on, to keep the "status quo" and not ruffle any feathers to promote change and improvement...
This isn't some piece of software to do your accounting, or firmware for a alarm clock, this is software that governs the operation of a device that is airborne, and can cause SIGNIFICANT INJURY or PROPERTY DAMAGE as a result of buggy software.
Being in IT, I know there isn't a single piece of tech in existance that doesn't have bugs, that's just a fact of life. However, there is still a baseline stability level expected, and sometimes required, for any software / firmware, especially those that govern devices that pose this type of damage / injury potential.
The most recent episode of critical failure / design flaw examples I can draw on is the Samsung Note 7 exploding battery fiasco, brought on by buggy power management and a flawed battery design.
I still remember people like you flooding the forums all over the Internet in defense of Samsung, claiming there was nothing wrong, and that all of us who were openly vocal in opposition to Samsung were nut jobs, and drama queens. And yet, people were getting hurt, property was being damaged, and airports around the world started banning Note 7's because they acknowledged the risk, properly, which finally forced Samsung to recall all of them, in what amounted to be the biggest smartphone recall in history.
This now rings of a familiar tune here, both in the situation with the MA's, DJI's silence and deflections on the matter, and people like you swooping in, claiming the ones being vocal about the issue, such as myself, are being drama kings...
"Now, all these claims that this is a SEVERE problem...Jesus Christ do you realize you are talking about some cases in thousands if not tends of thousands of sold units? A severe problem is when faulty units are over 5-7% of the total units."
Here is a prime example of the same crap we saw during the Note 7 fiasco... So what if it's only a few thousand, or even ten thousand units, out of an unknown number of MA's sold (no sales numbers for the MA are available, so anyone claiming numbers are pulling them out of their behind)? That's now THOUSANDS of potentially harmful and dangerous devices in circulation and active use, unless the pilots are wise enough to ground them pending a fix from DJI. The possibility of injury and property damage is now a very real possibility, and is FAR MORE SIGNIFICANT as a result of this firmware. This is not drama or hysteria, this is FACT.
Hallmark007 is very good at deflecting and distorting the situation to fit his own narrative, as I've observed from his conversations with others on this forum in only a very short period of time, so I put very little stock in what he has to say.
Right now, the only person spewing hyperbole by using adjectives such as epidemic failure is you. If the situation truly was an epidemic failure, we'd be seeing far more complaints and / or ratings dropping on places like Amazon because of this. So no, this is not an "epidemic" as you so exuberantly put it. But it's no less serious or significant, thus it demands attention.
