The orbit feature in this app does not appear to work. I have reported this numerous times and it continues to fail. It does not even attempt to fly it.
I flew a 300 acre farm, which required 3 battery changes. It just ended the mission w/o attempting to fly the orbit. I sent it out once more, and it told me where to go and jump.
For hits and giggles I set up a few test flights with just the standard area with an orbit at the end. It had no problem flying these.
I thought I would try the old reboot the ipad 4. Guess what? the app would not even open. Came home and tried to open it again. Still would not open. Delete and reinstall the app.
There are so many things going wrong with this app, I will stay with this for now.
I face this same issue. I have flown 10-15 flights and I have not once had the mission orbit at the end and take pictures.
Once, on a very small piece of property (2 acres) It flew three orbits and then landed without taking photos.
The rest of the flights have yet to orbit or fly an entire mission without the app crashing.
Well that was over 2 weeks ago so it should now be fixed.
However my problem is even before making the flight.
Once the “Orbit” Switch is flicked the green circle is persistent on the map.
Change the perimeter of the mapped area and a new Orbit is drawn as it should. But the old one is still there too.
Even after selecting another Flight Plan on the dashboard, the orbit/s of the previous flight plan still persist on the map,
The new orbit mode is only going to work on P4, P4P, P4A, Inspire 2, and any newer drones. The phantom 3 and inspire 1 will continue to have problems due to DJI not supporting the new flying methods we’re using in the SDK.
