I know that the L1 controller has been out for about two years, but since I have had opportunity to use both L1 and crosstack, I still wonder if crosstrack did not actually provide better control of the desired flight path. What I truly liked about c

Read more…I made three flights today and, when playing back the log files in MP 1.2.19, none of the waypoints get displayed. I have noticed in the past that if you play back a log file at accelerated speed this can happen. Replaying the file at normal speed

I have two airspeed sensors and both exhibit jumpy readings when the plane is static and indoors. When flying, the log (screen shot below) shows a lot
When I view log files in Google Earth, sometimes the start and stop points are on, or very close to, the ground. Other times those points are raised well above ground level as seen in the screen shot below. I can't figure out why this is happening
Read more…I have noticed in both real flight and sim modes that a high throttle setting will result in the plane going into a shallow dive that the autopilot does not compensate for in terms of straight and level flight. At first I thought this only happened
Read more…Hi Michael,
Just downloaded MP 1.2.6 and see that many features appear to be missing on the Flight Planner page. I can't get live maps, it's defaulting to cached maps. When I switch map providers, nothing happens. I am connected to the internet. A
Read more…Every now and then when I run Mission Planner, the airspeed indication is off by a factor of 100 (see graphic). If I restart MP, it changes back sometimes. I never saw this before one of the recent MP upgrades, but I've gone back to 1.1.92 and it s

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Not sure if this is a hardware, mission planner or simulator question. I had APM2 working great in X-Plane 10. However, after loading the PT-60 param file the plane would spiral into the ground when set to auto mode. I have not been able find how

Thanks,

Just curious if anyone else sees this and if there is any kind of fix. Maybe about a month ago, the images in blog posts on the main page of DIY Drones come up distorted. They being elongated from top to bottom. They are not distorted when I go in
