Over the past couple of weeks I have been busy reworking my original APM Mission Planner. Together with my partner/designer Samantha Nelson we have focused on improving the APM Planner’s interface, ideally resulting in a more intuitive user experience.   

Below are a couple screenshots of the new APM Planner!

    UDP support would be great, it would also allow us to do GSC over IP links such as longer range WiFi or also use something like the Dronecell to do super long range GSC over GPRS. You could launch and control your UAS remotely over an internet connection.

    Great work Michael!

    Are you planning on adding UDP MAVLink support? qgroundcontrol by default listens for MAVLink packets on UDP 14550, and if it sees a MAVLink heartbeat it autoconnects to the MAV. This is great for HIL setups, and for having the planner as a slave for another MAVLink enabled program.

    Ok. A lot has changed over the months :)
    APM for aircraft
    ACM for quads?

    If it is disabled by default, how can it be enabled or is it still in the oven.

    fly by ground station works now for apm, acm has it disabled by default.

    I saw Joystick set up. Any idea when fly by ground station will work?

     I think it is necessary in the APM Planner in the use of keyboard shortcuts, so that in flight by a programmable joystick buttons for such flight mode, accidental misuse, etc. to respond the first time

    It's funny--we get that question all the time (you're the second one today). Non-pilots tend to be confused by artificial horizons, but the way to think about them is that you're seeing the horizon, not the aircraft. When you tilt your head to the right, the horizon looks like it's tilting to the left. Etc...

    And in the APM Planner in the action page to add a relay action buttons, and rockerfrom the programmable buttons can also be implemented through the control keyboard shortcuts

    Right hand so that I can not leave the joystick in a flight

    Avoid 'hard landing machine crow'

    Dear Michael Oborne,
    Hope in the future APM Planner where you can directly use the extra axis joystick or slider to control the flight mode, and flying manual 'M', auto 'A', return 'R', augmentation'S' and other actions by keyboard direct control or programmable shortcut keys to control the joystick
    Appreciate and thank you
