SMART CONTROLLERS
General details
The "drone-tweaks" FCC apps can be used both for flying normally with the standard controllers but now also to switch the DJI RC, RC2 and RC Pro to FCC mode.
The general idea is to use the QuickTransfer functionality to switch the drone and controller to FCC and then fly as normal with the smart controller in FCC mode.
Important things to consider
-
if you have several drones, some with standard controllers and some with smart controllers, you can now use the same app for all of them
-
this is a very short procedure (~15 seconds) but it must be done before each flight
-
restarting the drone or controller will reset the mode back to CE
-
completely losing signal between drone and controller (no video, no telemetry and image goes black & white) will reset the mode back to CE
We recommend to NOT update the smart controllers beyond Fly v1.13.10
