Hi DJI -

I actually really like DJI Fly and find it easier to navigate around in than Go 4.  However, I really miss one feature.

In Go 4, the "radar" had an artificial horizon (I think that's what it's called).  A little line the moved up and down or tilted diagonally within the radar to show the attitude (not altitude) of the drone.  This feature was especially helpful for determining wind direction and speed.  It's not uncommon for the wind to be blowing much harder a few hundred feet up and that can have an impact on decisions you make while flying.  With the artificial horizon, I could park my drone for a few seconds and see what attitude it assumed to hold itself in place.  If it was steeply pitched in one direction or another, I knew the wind was blowing hard.  If the artificial horizon line was fairly flat and in the middle of the radar, I knew it was calm up there.

All good information to have!  Thanks.

Totally agree with this request.  All manned aircraft generally have this metric, it was great in Go4.

It would be nice if we could fly using either DJI Fly or Go — those looking for a streamlined experience could use Fly, and those who need the additional features could use Go. That would be more useful than retrofitting features from Go into Fly.
