Hello everyone. I received this afternoon the famous 1.11.30 firmware from DJI Susan (thanks to her fer her quick answer!)
Put it on my SD CARD, lanched the update procedure on my drone, made a little prayer and... it worked !!!
Recalibrated my IMU and made a first flight in the garden, just 1 meter above the floor, then landed after 15 secs.
Well, I had quite a hot situation last evening!
I wanted to push my drone a little in order to to test if the 1.11.30 firmware hadn't mess with my altitude and distance limitation, as it seems to have been the case for some unlucky P3 users.
I went next to a wide wheat field (which is not to tall at this season), so it would be easy to keep an eye on my drone even if it's far away, and it would be easy to land, (and safer to crash than a parking lot!) in case of a problem. I also turned my GPS tracker on (which had been THE wise idea of the day, as you'll see).
The idea was to land up, fly at a distance of about 300 meters at a low altitude, then get to an altitude of about 100m and then to come home and land.
The battery in the drone was around half the full charge, so I didn't put a new one because I knew that my flight would take only a few minutes (probably a less wise ideas, this time...)
The first part of the plan spent as expected, but as soon as I started to go higher, I had a critical battery alert and my drone landed automatically (but quite softly) right in the middle of the field !
Luckilly, with the tracker, it only took a dozen minutes to find it, but I can assure you that's not an easy job, even if we were two (the farmer saw me and nicely came to help me) !
So, for the moment, I can say that the 1.11.30 doesn't seem to have mess with the flight limitations. Still have to test the altitude. I should have time to test this evening, this time with a fully charged battery !!!
And my motors have started without any problem, even after the landing in the wheat, wich gave me a "Motor obstructed" message.
