Okay... now - since it the areas are actually 'cone' shaped - if you somehow hit the invisible wall (i.e., lost GPS due to cloud cover, etc - went in, etc) - would it just auto land 'until' it got out of the cone? (So you could control 'where' it landed?)
And/or - if somehow you got in that area & it's doing a force landing - can you at least move sideways so you can make sure you wouldn't land say in the middle of a road, etc?
I would be very difficult to lose GNSS due to cloud cover. It's more likely to lose it in other ways such as an intermittent connection between your FC and your GNSS module or a compass problem which causes temporary loss of GNSS, or an unfavorable tilt of your AC relative to visible satellites (it's happened to me). It's extremely rare for any of these things to happen though - especially just as you happen to be approaching a restricted area. It's really not something to fret about.
Theoretically I think you are correct, if you found yourself in bevel-edged rectricted area, it would descend out of the restricted area and the forced auto land would be cancelled so that it would hover or otherwise respond to your control input as usual. But I've never heard of this situation actually happening in real life for obvious reasons.
Yes, you can always steer it down during a forced descent. If it's a P3 or above, I believe you have the ability to stall the auto-land while you fly horizontally by moving the left stick up. One member, though, insists this doesn't work on the P3S.
