@Harbourside @DroneFlying @CelticWarrior Have any of you actually read the OP and used your brain while doing so? I am NOT complaining about an added feature, I just don't understand why they would allow us to mute the critical battery warning which is a safety feature that we can all respect, but not allow us to mute RTH beeping which is an intelligent flight mode that we can and often do initiate ON PURPOSE. We don't need a constant and distracting warning that an intelligent flight mode is being executed just like we don't need it when we use Active Track, Follow, Trace, etc. We initiate those modes, we know what the Mavic is doing and we can plan for that in the same way as RTH. If the argument is that people need to be warned that the Mavic is flying under it's own control, then explain why you don't think it's needed for all the other intelligent flight modes!
I'm NOT asking them to remove the feature... I'm asking them to allow us to mute the RTH beeping just like the critical battery beeping. Do you not see the backwards logic here? Are you people just too lazy to think or what? Use common sense when you post a reply. Please do explain why you folks think that it makes sense to allow muting a Critical Battery Warning but not okay to allow us to acknowledge and mute the RTH beeping, especially when we initiate the RTH on our own as a feature, not as an emergency. Or just keep dancing around the big purple elephant in the middle of the room and pretend it doesn't exist... *SMH*
First of all my comments where about the absolute need to keep beeping for RTH and the reasons for keeping it, it is not like active track or follow me modes, it's a totally different operation all together. Once you employ RTH your aircraft is now flying on its own in automatic mode, you are no longer controlling the AC , you could be lying on the ground having a heart attack and if that was the case do you think it fair for the general public not to be warned of your AC landing, and it beeps continually for many other good reasons, you can read my other posts.
Regards to RC beeping below 15%, remote control has a battery life of about 4/5 hours if this has happened to you more than once you have a real problem in preparing for flying, your remote loosing power and in turn signal will trigger your AC to return home, so it has a failsafe, and dji have given you an option to turn of the beeping, I won't be turning of the beeping, I have never heard it and I would suggest others should do the same, that's my thinking about that.
RTH is a totally different thing altogether and I don't see dji ever putting this warning down to chance. |
