There is no way DJI will maintain 2 different code bases for two different apps. From a business perspective on their side, it just would make absolutely no sense at all.
If you just want a box to be able to type in a number, ask for that for the Fly app. That is a far more reasonable request. Quite honestly, their developers could do it in no time at all if it was something they actually cared to implement.
Having said that, I personally don't think there is much of a need to be so precise. In regards to the max flight height, here in the US, the "normal" max height regulation is 400 ft. However, from a safety perspective, I personally always set my max height to closer to 500'. If I'm out flying and a small manned aircraft comes out of nowhere, I want the option to be able to choose whether to descend or to climb to get out of the way. I would much rather breach the 400' regulatory height and not hit a manned aircraft than to stay under it and hit it.
Yes, it would be nice to have to be able to punch in a specific value instead of their terribly designed sliders, but is it really such a big deal at the end of the day? Certainly not a big enough deal that DJI would maintain and update 2 different code bases to do so. |
