Greetings everyone
Hopefully this is the correct section to post this. Any pilots here tried the new Litchi with Google Earth Pro support? Played on the pc a few nights ago and created a flight plan on Google Earth Pro and then exported the data from Google Earth Pro into Litchi. The resulting camera paths setup and creating point of interest flights were terrible and it would seem to be better handled in Litchi for getting precise UAV movement and camera setup for shots. Creating the the UAV missions in Litchi first and then exporting the data into Google Earth Pro will be my next test. I got a client in another country (2000 miles or 3200 km away) where I am doing some architectural 3D animations for and will need drone footage of the site. My original plan was to create the mission in Litchi and save the mission out so that my client can get his drone guy to fly the mission that I will upload. But exporting the mission into Google Earth Pro and then creating an animation of the virtual flight would let stakeholders review the flight before commiting to an actual UAV mission. Some thoughts and questions:
Thanks
Mike

Some thoughts and questions:
- Has anyone got good results when using Google Earth Pro to Litchi? Flight paths seem to be problematic
- Hopefully Google Earth Pro is up to date with there 3D buildings as I will need to fly above and around the buildings
- Uploading the flight plan and letting another drone company fly the mission will save me having to fly 2000 miles to the site, get foreign insurance or get a 107 certification
- Use Google Earth Pro animations to verify Litchi UAV missions and not plan them
Thanks
