"My understanding is that the MIN_GNDSPD_CM parameter is supposed to force the APM to adjust the throttle in order to maintain a given minimum ground speed while flying into a head wind. Unfortunately I can't get it to work myself, but you may have…"
"Just a note, Andreas just pointed out to me that the Raw Sensor View data I'm looking for was moved to the "Tuning" checkbox under the map. One thing off the list already! ;)"
The planner has come a long way in the past year or so and I greatly appreciate all the work that the developers have put into the project. I would like to make a few minor suggestions that I feel would go along way to improving the usability even…
"The Planner used to be able to view any of the parameters under the Raw Sensor View button, but that functionality seems to have been removed for some reason. Perhaps we're just missing it?"
"I just noticed that rebooting isn't actually the problem. It seems to be more bizarre than that.
Here are few things I just tried (all over USB link):
1. Writing WP's through APM Planner, reading the WP's back the ensure they match, then…"

Ever since I upgraded to the v2.40 firmware my APM1 won't save its configuration/flight plan across reboots. I tried manually erasing the EEPROM and resetting to factory defaults, but that didn't seem to help. I noticed at least one other person…
"I'm not familiar with DJI products at all, but taking a quick look they are definitely pricey in comparison to your typical DIY setup, but thats expected. I get the feeling you are in this for more than just a hobby? Do you currently have the APM2…"
"Trent, I have that exact same radio, you may have done it already but the top right switch cuts the throws in half on my setup (default)."
"I see the new v2.27 is available for download, but the project News page hasn't been updated with whats new by the looks of things:

Is there somewhere else I can follow to see what has changed?"

"Fire up Xplane and HIL simulation for its Shuttle model and test out the altitude limits. "
"I agree that accurate track following is important. In fact I've made two blog posts detailing my fight with this exact issue:

"Chris: Well the first part of the plan works fine, and its identical to the second part just with different altitudes and around a different waypoint.
I may have been a little misleading, the plane doesn't actually return to launch immediately, it…"

"Have you tuned the PIDs as per the manual by setting up four waypoints in a perfect square?
Its likely that your PIDs weren't sufficient enough to fight the wind and judging by the elongated part of the "circles" moving to the north east, my…"

In an attempt to make a flight plan that will make it over a mountain peak and land in a valley, I have defined the following plan to command Ardupilot to loiter to a certain high altitude, traverse to another waypoint, then loiter safely down to…
