Hello,

When will POI be introduced in the DataPilot ? Just being able to plot a perfect circle with the head of the drone pointing the center would already be nice !

I thought this was a promised feature-request ?

it is necessary to have a POI on the H520, Yuneec is wrong to don't do it only on the H+

Note that aircrafts do not have the same base, the H PLUS has its own proprietary software inherited from the H480. The H520 is based on PX4 and this is where the problem is. PX4 is still green and is not able to make a curve or make a tangential trajectory through a point. They are on it, hope to see it soon.

The H Plus FC is also PX4 based, just a different branch.

I don't mean the hardware, I mean the software that is also called PX4. It's a bit messy calling itself the same, I know, but we're talking about firmware. The final firmware of the H520 is called "dronecode" but is based on the PX4 firmware platform.
