    Dronelink now offers terrain following

    As an FYI, the Map component with AGL IS true terrain following as it adapts altitude based upon the terrain as it does an Ortho or Grid pattern.

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    We are excited to announce that Dronelink is now free for individuals that want to fly missions for non-commercial purposes.

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    Here is a sneak peek of our facade scan testing. We are using existing component types (Path and Orbit) to prove it out, and then we will release a Facade component type when feel like the requirements are locked down. Click here to see the mission plan for this preview:

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    We are open to going this direction if the demand is there, it just requires more development effort (which we could be spending on new features). Part of the reasoning is there should be zero question in your mind about what you are going to see during the mission because the mission previewer...

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    No app will ever be perfect, but we are certainly committed to listening to your feedback and making it better over time.

    You can do it all while in the air. The mission does not get uploaded, but rather runs on the mobile device, sending commands in real-time. Yes, but be aware that if you have a require a specific area for the take-off location (plan settings), then you need to make sure you manually take-off...

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    The explore plan does not include any app installs since you have to have a paid account to fly missions. The other plans are limited to 4, but we are not enforcing this in the code at the moment since there is no way to deactivate an old device yet. Until then it is on the honor system. We...

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    Correct, currently you can create mission plans but if you want to fly a mission you have to upgrade to a paid account. Public repositories are discoverable by other Dronelink users. Creating public repositories increases your chance of connecting with other like-minded users who want to...

    New alternative to Litchi for those that are into missions.

    We just updated the Explore plan to include the ability to create repositories (public and private), and create mission plans and components. You still need to upgrade to a paid account to actually fly missions with your plans, but we added a 30-day money back guarantee to the pricing page to...
