Has anybody had good results from using auto mode in conjuction with the mission planner?
and what pid`s are you using? it appears to me that there are a vast range of PID`s being used for auto mode, where as some of the other fuctions such as loiter or stabilise, there is not too much difference in settings? please post your opinions here..

I have my Nav P set to 1.200 any higher and it goes out of control with the slightest of error.. Like Crispin I have set out a mission over a football pitch so as to see if it does what it is supposed to do using goal post and lines e.t.c. At worst it is probably 30m out on the waypoints but always come to a finish more or less where I set it to. Looking at the logs it shows that there isn`t much response to error, but in reality if it is not in position for whatever reson it can be very aggresive to correct, nearly to the point of losing control the angles are so steep..
Having watched various youtube missions with people using apm, I cant understand how they can get it to move so quick and stop dead on the waypoint and then shoot off to the next with great precision? they were using a much older firmware, but surely the firmware being used now should be better?
Another thing worth noting is the gps, the longer you leave it the more accurate the waypoints are
Nope :( My quad is happy flying around (with me driving) and on calm days, loiter ALT-Hold etc are all ok (for me) but every time I tried an auto option it does not work. Always seems to be different things though, fly-aways, clearly deviating from the original plan (always the same square in a football field) and the occasional crashes.
To be fair, I've always set a plan, tried it, failed and not bothered trying it again. Maybe I need to spend more time tuning it? I just want to have fun....
