OK, just spoke to DJi support online chat. Actually pretty dam fast too.
Figured out I used the wrong file. Advance instead on PRO.
Duo I feel stupid.
I have to say they figured out my problem in less than ten minutes
I received a second P3P yesterday and can report that they DJI are shipping the P3P with firmware 1.1.9.
I went to run the firmware update and received a fast dddddd. I allowed 25 minutes to see if the install completed to find a message on the text file that 1.1.9 was already installed.
Too bad you can't just plug the unit in and verify the version before wasting 25 minutes.
