I did the most recent two updates and finally had a chance to fly, noticed some interesting differences after the update. First time I restarted the drone after it got the update it got a "Calibrating" wait bar on the app which tells me they reset any of it's learned data and it acted like it. Initial testing in the yard, no flying I was getting inconsistent connections (dared not fly it). I repeated the process of powering up the drone and making the connections and having it ready to takeoff 2 or three time without launching. Next I took along on a ride, started out in a very open desert area. It launched, locked on to me (like normal) then within 20 seconds started flying around for 20 or 30 seconds while I was standing there not doing anything. It stopped pointing somewhere else 100 yards away and really didn't want to do anything for about 2 min, I got it all on video. I was able, using the blue button on the beacon to eventually wake it up to its senses. We then rode off easy pace with the drone tracking, close in and far out (visual and gps) making it a little harder as the flight went on. I went on to fly it 2 more batteries in harder and harder situations, some of it was very difficult, low sun angles tracking along a slope just above the brush and trees.
To me, we are basically starting with a new drone as far as any learned data. Not sure what it learns but this is the same way it's acted when it was new (2x) and after at least one of the other updates. The "Calibration" after the update before any flying is telling to me. I had some if not all the complaints posted recently. Again, flying the done in an open area starting off very easy for a few batteries seems to do wonders. I went from multiple disconnects, failed tracking, poor initialization to it working very well 3 batteries later.
Here's some pics, this is the Black Range in the Gila Mtns NM.
Finished up the last battery with some tracking through the forest.
One thing I'll add, I took it easy, I mostly wanted it to fly, see everything and miss it, I wasn't pushing it speedwise this trip.
