is it Safe to use DataPilot 2.2.53 for H520

[notger]

Hi, my Name is Gernot I'm from Austria
I use a "old" H520 (not E)
The "UpdatePilot" App will update Datapilot until 1.6.9.7
I was missing Google Hybrid Maps for easy Navigation when planing at Home.
So i was downloading the latest DataPilot APK v2.1.22 from Download – Yuneec
Within the 2.1.22 DataPilot i was "offered" to update to 2.2.53 and thats what i did.
There is actually not alot of changes between 1.6.9.7 and the most recent Version.
Still there are some nice Design Changes, More Options for Maps (Like Google or Bing Hybrid ), Geofencing, TeamMode pairing runs much more smooth an stabil and the orbit function is also more advance in my Opinion. Even the Update Functions for Android, Driver,...worked flawless until now.
There are just some Features witch are made and developed for the 520E that show up but do not work with the old H520

I did some Testflights without any Problems.

Still id like to ask if anyone knows of Dangers about using it.
Because i wonder why Yuneec does not offer the Datapilot Updates via UpdatePilot App for the old H520 ?

greets and Thank
Gernot

Hi Gernot, welcome in forum.
You can ask @Enrico Jorysch at kopterbude.ch (am besten auf deutsch).

Es gibt mehrere Versionen des DataPilot und ich würde nur mit denen Fliegen, die für die jeweiligen Modelle freigegeben wurden.

H520 = 1.6.97
H520E = 2.2.53
H850 = 2.3.59
H600 = 2.3.69

In den unterschiedlichen Versionen wurden Modelspezifische Anpassungen vorgenommen.
Implementation von OFDM... anderen Kameras oder Zusatzgeräten... Langsamflugmodus,
aber auch die Möglichkeit, direkt von der Fernsteuerung auf die ganzen QGroundControl Eintellungen zuzugreifen.

Wer gerne experimentieren will darf das auf eigene Gefahr gerne machen.
Einiges wird funktionieren, anderes nicht, weil nicht alle Drohnenmodelle für die gleiche Hardware
oder die gleichen Aufgaben konzipiert wurden.

There are several versions of DataPilot and I would only fly with those that have been released for the respective models.

H520 = 1.6.97
H520E = 2.2.53
H850 = 2.3.59
H600 = 2.3.69

Model-specific adjustments have been made in the different versions.
Implementation of OFDM... other cameras or additional devices... Slow flight mode,
but also the possibility to access all QGroundControl settings directly from the remote control.

Anyone who wants to experiment is welcome to do so at their own risk.
Some things will work, others will not, because not all drone models are designed for the same hardware
or the same tasks.
