    Not able to buy "Follow Me" or "Flight Plan"

    I've just copied Freeflight 6 to a new device and guess wot the app came over without follow me or flight plan. I hit 'restore purchase' and also the 'buy' tab, but nothing. Seems as though Parrot have disabled the links. So.. Is there a way to copy the entire app with all data and settings...

    Anafi Flight Plan Tutorial

    I have searched this question and watched so many tutorials but never an answer to this.. In the flight plan, I go into timeline view and drag the camera icon to the relevant waypoint in order to set it for taking a photograph. The problem is that the camera has a default setting in flight plan...

    Air Speed Display?

    Thanks bcow, yes the cockpit display in the Freeflight app is pretty basic. Fair enough, it's more important to know the ground speed (like if it's enough to get home!) as first priority. Even so, knowing the airspeed and the wind direction relative to the craft would both be helpful additions...

    Air Speed Display?

    Ive had my Disco since 2019. Despite many apparent quirks and glitches, it is a truly amazing plane that just never gets old. It flies beautifully and constantly adjusts it's power exactly in tune with the wind, much because of it's responsive air speed sensor. Seems a shame that only the ground...

    My flight plan does not load on Parrot Disco

    I've been flying my Disco for some years now.. it's such an amazing thing! I don't think there'll ever be anything like it again. It has a good few quirks though. The flight plan works amazingly well, but you need to bear with it on loading.. Sometimes you just load the plan, and there it with...

    EDF on a Disco.

    Thanks DeWe Well it's a thought.. no harm in trying I'll add a buffer between the body and the mount and let u know. To me the Disco sounds very much like an old Multiplex Easystar, and being pretty much the same motor and prop size that I used on this, I assume the prop to be the cause.. but...

    EDF on a Disco.

    I love my Disco, for all it's little glitches. My main interest is coastal, island and wildlife photography, where a discreet and non-invasive glide is desirable.. not the conspicuous buzz of the Disco's choppy prop. My idea is to replace the motor and prop with a ducted fan unit, making the...

    Flight Plans

    Thanks Skydreamer I've just got into using flight plans and am very impressed overall. Done a few practice runs at slightly extended range but so far always returning to the same location. In fairness I can't think of many reasons to land elsewhere unless to get additional range.. and I was...

    Flight Plans

    I'm just beginning to experiment with flight plans for the Disco. Its pretty straightforward to plan the landing for the same place as takeoff.. but what if your proposed landing site is somewhere else, and at a different elevation to the point of takeoff? So I'll take off at sea level and...
