Hi,

The spark needs to be turned on to enter the flight simulator. Is it right that the spark takes off while using this mode?

Spark should not take off. But is advisable to take the propellers off before starting it up.

Ah, thats why it took off :’)

In a reflex i tried to protect my girlfriend and almost cut off my finger, lol!

nice carpet!

i never used simulator but what happened to you is actually shocking o.O

This is not Dji go4 flight simulator damage!

The motors should NOT start during simulator mode...taking the props off is just a precaution in case you do something wrong.

The simulator is a completely different interface than Go Fly Mode.

No this damage has caused after I took off in the simulator. The spark just started flying. I took a small vid of my screen what actually happens. Seems like I might have acted too fast so my drone started flying...this time it didnt happen.

Guys I warn you, want to see blood flying over your in-laws, dont do the same as I did.

I wonder why it’s showing the camera then!

Whenever I fly using the flight simulator the Spark is just powered on and it's impossible to fly as you're not entering Go Fly into the DJI GO 4 App, all you're doing is powering on and going into the top right corner of the settings and tapping on simulator. It should not show you the camera of the Spark and there should be no way to fly the drone if you are not entering Go Fly inside the DJI GO 4 App?

Jerpie, I feel sorry about your case. Please take care of your finger and export the flight data and the black box for analysis. You can upload it to dropbox and post the link here. Thanks for your support.

Thanks for your update. I would help you forward it to our engineers for further check. Please tell me the version of your app and the process of you ran the stimulator. Did you fly it with RC or mobile? Were you using OTG at that time? Thanks for your support.

I would have thought after the first or second time, you would have gotten a bit gun-shy and not tried it again.
