I'm having difficulties managing prefetched maps, that I haven't been able to find addressed in previous discussions.To clear out unwanted prefetched map files, I deleted the 'gmapcache' directory from my Mission Planner directory. In the past I…
"Using MP1.3.41 the Geotag utility still doesn't recognise TIFF images.
It would be very helpful to be able to geotag TIFF images in addition to lossy JPEG images - hopefully a fairly straightforward feature request to implement?"

"Although the issue with the Geo Ref Images utility in MP 1.3.31.1 that was raised by the original poster doesn't appear for me in MP 1.3.32, I'm encountering new problems with this tool I haven't encountered previously.
With 'Use AMSL Atl' selected,…"

"I'm still encountering a similar issue with the Geo Reg Images utility in MP-1.3.32. Pre-process appears to only work for me when 'Use AMSL Alt' is unselected. If this is selected, the utility prints the error "Log file problem. Aborting". I'm still…"
"I know this is an old thread, but for the benefit of others facing the same problem who stumble upon it...
It sounds likely that the mission you've designed is asking the camera to trigger faster then it is capable of doing. When designing a…"

"I've produced several very accurate models (DGPS controls GCP RMS error <17 mm) with images from several S100 at 1/1000th second Tv; The minimum usable shutter speed will depend on flying speed/altitude, but I don't think it always has to be faster…"
"This sounds similar to an issue I had with my Y6. RTL completed fine in the air, once on the ground the motors initially slowed but then gradually starting increasing; it appeared about to flip so I switched to Stabilize to disarm. The throttle was…"
I've just started using the great tool for geotagging photos with the flight log in Mission Planner's (v1.3.10). While most of the Wiki describing this tool is refreshingly clear, maybe the section on Field of View could perhaps be more complete.I'm…
"@John. I'm afraid I didn't check the that as I was focusing on the other things going awry.
I've just upgraded to AC 3.2_rc10 (beta), and had a couple of flights without observing this - I'll be keeping an eye on it though. Cheers"

"Adding to the groundswell that 3.2_rc10 is looking pretty stable...
I just updated my 3DR Y6B from AC3.1.5 to 3.c_rc10. So far I've flown with Stabilize, AltHold, Loiter and RTL which all work nicely; congrats again to the Dev team.
(PS. Can anyone…"

"That temporary workaround resolved the problem, which won't be present in AC 3.2."
"I just found a nearly identical problem reported on the ArduPilot forum in June; narrowing down the problem to a bug with the ‘DO_CHANGE_SPEED’ command.
From the information on GitHub (#766) and a note on the Wiki, I think the issue might be cause…"

"Fantastic demonstration Thorsten; could you let us know how many images you captured for this reconstruction?"
Hi guys,I need to use my Y6 (APM 2.6; AC 3.1.5) for surveying and need to be able to automate missions, but today my auto mission didn't complete and RTL failed - it was as though the flight mode changed to loiter and ignored RTL signals. I've spent…
"The specs I've seen rate the Y6 at up to 600g, and I'm at 1500 m asl, so I think a Nex 5 is pushing too close to the limits (even with a static mount). Thanks for the answer."
"Are you carrying your NEX 5 on a Y6?"
