@AnafiPilot1 has already updated the links in post 1 of this thread for the new FF6 v6.7.1
I should have been clearer! The 6.7.1 downloads can be found in the google drive folder linked to.thank you for updating the mod so quickly
btw... if i were an executive at Parrot I would be offering you a job!

AnafiPilot1 Thanks for all
I have ff6, modified, in version 6.7.0. Today a message appeared asking to update the software version 1.7.3 to 1.7.6. I assume this is a firmware update. So in order to update everything, I think that first I have to uninstall the current ff6 (I keep the folder com.parrot.freeflight6, to put it back), install the new modified version 6.7.1 and then launch the 1.7.6 firmware update. Is this how I should proceed?
My thanks for your support.

If you are running my modified FF6 6.7.0 then you just install 6.7.1 you do not need to un-install or anything else.
Your phone will treat it as an upgrade.

These letters can't even be read ...

I put the .xml of the map mark into the Custom maps and it can be successfully displayed on ff6_6.71. When I put the .png into the Custom maps, it is completely useless.
I flew today for the first time, after installing the modified app, latest version.
I used a battery that was already 'sick', it was fully charged, it made 13 minutes of flight, indicating 12% remaining. The warnings came as expected and everything went wonderfully. Thank you for your work, so I'm getting back to trusting this drone.

what is the mod app version. Did you get GPS instantly.
Did you get any camera vibrations.
Well I finally got around to install this. I really would like to thank AnafiPilot and all others. I have taken all advice and have now added a new improved battery maintenance schedule and I am monitoring % vs voltage values with a chart and with my screen recordings of all flights. So if a forced autoland or fall from sky happens maybe my data can help.
This hopefully will keep both of my little birds in the air where they belong.
The only negative for me is that I cannot use my iPad anymore with its nice big screen, I have again regained confidence to fly the Anafi.

It is nice having the voltage shown. It honestly gives so much more confidence.
I do not fixate on it - as the voltage will fluctuate quite wildly depending on the power load, but once you get that RED signal the voltage has dropped below 7v, it is time to bring it back in.
Testing has shown that the voltage trigger for critical autoland is around 6.6v.

I have obtained some data for everyone to discuss.
I used the following:
Anafi - 2 crashes. 1 at 20% battery "Fall from Sky" test flight in my Living Room : 1 pilot error while doing a Dolly Zoom (Tree Branch) onto grass.
Battery - 38 Flights 7.0 Flight Hours 36 Full Charges to 100% 40% - Average of battery at landing for all flights (Although there were mapping flights that go it down to around 10% on a couple of missions.
This battery had a forced autolanding at 30% power while using Pix4D Capture. Within a few days I then conducted a test flight in my house to see battery behavior which ended in the drone "Falling From Sky" at around 20% battery level.
Start of test with a fresh charge to 100%.
Battery Health Screen on Free Flight 6 stated 77%
At the forced Auto Landing the drone started down, then "fell from sky" (Was hovering at about 3 feet, descended 2 feet before power loss made it fall 1 foot onto a pillow).
If I had been using this battery and heeded the yellow warning I could of had the Anafi on the ground and safe.
I LOVE THIS MOD!
I just need Pix4D Capture to show the battery percentage.

there is no doubt, the mod is doing its job. It's time to again take the Parrot Anafi into confidence. Do you think you can advice all Anafi users to upgrade to firmware 1.7.1 without any other concerns !
I wouldn't recommend anything. I am no expert on these matters. I'm sure more knowledgeable people will chime in. I also would take it to heart if I said to do something and someone loses a bird.
But, you did remind me that I didn't say which firmware I was using.
Firmware Used: 1.7.6
Also I just noticed that I should of posted this in the "Battery Discharge Results Using Modified Android app" thread. Sorry.
It is the latest version "FF6_6_7_1_FCC_SE_BATTERY.apk - FCC with SE and Battery features". I didn't take the GPS instantly, in fact, it never happened, even in previous versions, but it didn't take long. No camera vibrations.
