I see there has been an upgrade on Assistant 2 to version 1.6 and it does not work with A3 firmware version 1.3??

I cannot see A3 version 1.4 in the upgrade screen, so what's happening as I now need to downgrade assistant 2 to get it to work with my A3.

What's going on DJI?

incredibly so silent Dji is

That's true.
This is not really nice anymore.
1800 € A3 Pro and then Landingproblems the landing is too fast and very hard{:4_154:}, circles independently in the air pull, etc.
DJI do something about his good call.

The advertising slogan of the A3 is nevertheless: ULTIMATIVE RELIABILITY INFINITE POSSIBILITIES or?
Sorry for my bad english.

Are you using the Assistant 2 via a Windows or a MAC? Have you already tried reinstalling the 1.0.6 version? If you could happen to provide a screenshot of what you're able to see in the upgrade section, it would be appreciated.

Could you provide a list of your set up? Is this happening right out of the box, or did you notice this after a firmware update or a hard landing?

I have tried it several times on the windows pc to install.
The 1.0.6 version works, but not the 1.4.0.0. Update the a3
Here is a link with the landing problem.

When you  install Assistant v1.6 and try to connect to the A3 you get a message saying that the A3 firmware is not compatible with this version of Assistant.
The screen prompts you to upgrade. When you press the upgrade button it takes you to the firmware list which you have to refresh several times before you
Can actually load it. When the list of firmware finally loads it only shows version 1.3 as current and the previous version. No version 1.4! All of the function
menu's  are blocked as well.
On the DJI download page there are no updates to the A3 release notes either. So what is going on?
We have waited ages to get a significant update to the A3 firmware to give it the advertised functionality and (assuming this is the One) when it is released, we
can't  access it. Perhaps DJI should stop concentrating on releasing new products and apply themselves to sorting out existing issues?

Great video Matze_80, exactly what's happening with me only I have to refresh the firmware list several times. I have also tried downgrading to Assistant 1.5 and firmware V1.4 doesn't appear there either.
Incidentally, although the front screen on the assistant says version 1.6, in Windows programmes and features it is still saying version 1.5? I noticed this when I came to delete it before reloading the old version?
Just to make sure, I reinstalled the so called version 1.6 and it till showed as version 1,5 in the programmes list in control panel?? I'm not sure if this is significant, but thought I would mention it anyway.

Some sort of response would be nice? Even just an acknowledgement that there is a problem? Is it being investigated? What's the latest information?
I am a customer who has spent £00000's on DJI equipment and I feel they don't give a damn! How can a global company have so much dissent for it's loyal customers?
It beggars belief!!

Dont expect DJI to release any update that will improve the A3, you will haft to wait for the A4, so that they can take some more of you money, and when you realize its even more locked that then A3, then A5 will be announced, and we can go on and on and on.

Hi fjeppe,

I only want a system that does what it says it will do and the A3 STILL does not despite all the posts and promises it just seems to be getting worse, not better. Not only are we missing the functionality of the F1 - F4 ports,
since the last Go App update we are now experiencing connectivity problems and now we are chasing an update that doesn't even exist! If it wasn't actually happening, you wouldn't believe it were possible.
And when you do express your opinion, DJI go quiet. We are just left to get on with it and make the most of situations that should never happen. DJI are exploiting its customers by using them to test equipment that should not have been released. Imagine the press they would get if they were Toyota!

I do understand that this is frustrating. I have confirmed that the release notes were ultimately premature. As Matze indicated, it will be available on Monday. With the recent changes to the website in general, it's taking a bit for these updates to become consistently accessible.

Regarding the customization of the F ports, that is being addressed and will be made available soon.

So to make sure I'm looking at one of your pictures correctly, the 1.4.0.0 populated, but it was not allowing you to download. Is that notion correct, or were you able to upgrade at that moment? When you were landing, this was with the auto landing function or using the throttle command?

Hi Matze,

Mine also lands very hard which makes me nervous about using auto land on a big copter. I also notice that your props speed up once the aircraft has landed before shutting off.
This happens with me as well, sometimes the machine almost tips over when this happens, even if the throttle stick is right back? I found that reducing the motor idle speed helps but if you get a gust of wind it ca tip the aircraft over.
When I use auto land I control the landing with the throttle stick.

Im also experiencing connection problem, sometimes i get "Ready to fly" but 0 GPS, N/A under Voltage and so on, and then i reboot the app and remote, a couple of times and then it works, very scary with a craft in this price level (M600 with MX)

I have an S1000 so I don't know if this helps but I get connected much quicker if I use this sequence.

With everything switched off, start the go app and the Inspire should appear.
Start Lightbridge 2 and you should get the enter camera screen on the app. Leave it!
Start aircraft and when it has fully booted, enter the Go App.
If it fails to connect pull out the lead from your IOS device and reconnect.

If it is, I can't see it anywhere. Doesn't show up in either version of Assistant and no release notes on the website.
Jamie said the update would be available last Monday.? But nothing yet. On a positive note, the connectivity issues
have improved since the last Go App update.

I see the channel mapping screen has changed. Does anyone know which switches D1, D2 etc relate to on the transmitter. Or even if they can be mapped yet?

Yeah about ten minutes after my previous post lol.

Couple of tips. And as per the read me file from DJI. All your setting will go back to FACTORY setting so make a note, or as I did take screen shots of your setting in Assistant.
DON'T restore any saved configuration as it will cause and IMU error and you will have to hit reset to clear it.
You can upgrade in Assistant 1.0.5 then instal 1.0.6
The IMU calibration process has change and involves lifting and rotating the airframe. This is not practical if you do the calibration process from Assistant, so make sure you do the calibration from the Go app.
If using the X3/X5/X5R you will notice the app will tell you the camera needs a firmware upgrade. Ignore this it's not correct apparently.

This update is for A3 stand-alone only and NOT for the M600.

D1-4 correlates to the F channel mapping on the A3 Flight Controller. When using SBus, they would allow the 3rd party customization that has been overdue. You would set it in tandem with the Tools > Function mapping section of the Assistant 2.

Hi Jamie,
With A2 you could map these channels to the function switches on the LB2 transmitter, I understand the mapping now thanks, but how do you assign the LB2 Transmitter function buttons?

I use a Z15 GH4 gimbal so I have a few redundant switches on the LB2 that could be assigned to the function channels if only I knew how?

To clarify,
I need to map F2 to C2 or C1 on LB2.
How do I do this?
I have  a master and slave transmitters and loads of redundant switches but can't figure it out.

That's one more than me.

I've flown today though and all is sweet apart from still not being able to map the F channels.
