  • @ Nathaniel and @Paul,

    This crazy feature can not be turned off.  I went into Configure tab and deselected "Show Airports" and only the broken rings around airports disappeared.

    I live inside the outer ring of this large and circle and can barely see anything under it.  This is annoying to say the least.

    @Doug,

    I believe that is identifying the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Special Flight Rules Area (or the "ADIZ" Air Defense Identification Zone).

    I don't think there is a way to disable it. You can turn off the airports, but I don't see a way to disable the display of these zones. It's interesting that it doesn't effect the Flight Planning page, just the Flight Data page. That really makes the Flight Data screen unusable for the Baltimore area in the zone.

  • It is the airport overlay, if you hover your pointer over the red circles they will show you the airport name.  Baically to show you when you are close to an airport. You can turn it off in the configuration tab, as detailed in this post:

  • I haven't seen this on mine, maybe a view setting?

  • What is this on my map and how do I turn it off?!?!?

    It showed up when I downloaded the latest Mission Planner?3701881755?profile=original

  • Where do you find the settings in MP ft modes

  • ok so now I am stuck at getting the R7008sb to talk to PixHawk for my initial set-up.  Do I get a PPM encoder and use the 8 ports into PixHawk vai the encoder or is there another solution yet?

  • Can someone help on my posted question?

    I am new to RC and need some help. I have had problems setting up my TX (Senior Moment).
    Now using a EEPE file I got from friend that works. But some settings don't thats why i would
    like to find a file that someone is using on their Hex.  Maybe they will share the file with me.

    Any and all help would be greatly be appreciated.

    I recently had an issue where checking the reverse box [ in AMP Planner ] didn't reverse it as it should but if I did so in the full param list it did. 1 is normal  -1 is reverse.

Drone flying to non visible point

Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…
