Ayer recibí un nuevo firmware para Autel Lite Plus: V2.0.19. Hungría.

Yo lo recibí ayer , más tengo un problema con mi evolight cuando lo pongo en modo lúdico hacia adelante llega hasta 12 metros por segundo y después va recortando la velocidad hasta 6 metros por segundo cuando vuela hacia atrás o hacia los lados si llega a 16-18 metros por segundo la verdad que me gustaría resolver esa falla porque a veces necesito moverme a una velocidad por encima de la velocidad normal

The website still shows 1.9.9 so obviously still confusing. Back in July Autel did the same thing by announcing Firmware 2.0.15 and then within 2 weeks pulling it. Wasn't any explanation and several pilots were left screwed for several days. Personally I'm not too confident in upgrading my aircraft and especially not if as Autel states "downgrading to a lower version is no longer supported" . Certainly don't want to be stuck with an expensive brick.

On my iPad (iOS) Mini 4 RC running Sky 1.6.8 I see some new firmware modules flagged for upgrades. I didn't get the prompt to install new firmware because from experience that only happens when you have the latest Sky app. I'm holding at 1.6.8 on my RC until I see good reason(s) to upgrade.

Yo le perdí la fé a Autel siento cierto abandono su sistema es poco progresivo y desde que se que son dueños de programas de fotogrametría y no permiten que los modelos económicos de su marca tengan acceso a estos e decidido cambiar de marca solo los estoy volando cuando hay zonas geo de dji o para carga de medicinas.

Je n'ai pas eu cette mise à jour mais à la lecture des nouveautés, il me semble que ce soit un patch de contraintes pour l'utilisateur ! En tout cas, beaucoup moins pour l'optimisation en vol ! Les seules libertés qu'offrait Autel semblent désormais conformes comme le fait DJI depuis des années.

I'm staying away from the 2.x firmware upgrade for now. Sounds like it will only add unnecessary restrictions. My Lite Plus is doing fine at 1.9.9

A lot of us learned to not update the firmware on Autel drones if the drone is working fine. I do the same thing with DJI drones unless they give me a functionality I really want. That usually happens right after a release of a new drone because the software wasn't fully baked at the time of release.

Doubtfull advice: Your insurance, it might require you to have your aircraft up to date.

All I can say is that those of us who have been flying them for 3+ years have learned this lesson the hard way. I do understand your point about the insurance though. Seems to me that if the drone is working fine and in compliance with all rules and regs, there should be no issue with the insurance but of course I'm no expert in that arena.

Would be interested to learn if anyone has insurance that doesn't require the updates. I have no interest in updating, either.

Setting the Remote ID does not work in the EU. So basically, the EVO Lite+ is bricked here.

Why bricked??!! I Fly without Remote Id..

You can do that, but that's not legal here anymore. I don't want to risk a fine of 50.000 €. I can't even sell the thing at a loss, as nobody in the EU will buy it.

Te RID works perfectly fine in the EU. How do you think they get the Lite certified ?????

OK, so then tell me how you managed to enter it in the app. When I enter my e-ID there, I'm being told that the ID is invalid.

I don't care.. I fly smart

Fine for you that you are so rich that you haven't have to care about such fines. I live far enough from a large airport here that I'm out of the no-fly-zone (so flying here is basically legal), but a fact is, that they are using drone scanners to protect the commercial planes. Thus, the risk of being discovered is way above zero, and I don't have the spare money to pay the fine.
