Elevation Profile Window Improvements
Due to horizontal compression, analyzing the elevation profile was difficult for long or complex missions. These changes are designed to solve that.
- Horizontal Zoom. You can now zoom horizontally into the elevation profile using Ctrl+Scroll. This allows you to inspect specific, small segments of a large flight plan to verify terrain clearance and flight safety.
- Zoom to Segment. Right-click the elevation profile and select "Zoom to segment" to instantly focus on the area between two waypoints. You can then use the keyboard arrow keys to move between segments for rapid inspection.
- Vertical Waypoint Lines. The profile now shows waypoints as vertical lines, making it easier to identify different parts of the route at a glance.
New Drone Support
- DJI M400 Support. UgCS now supports the DJI M400. You can plan routes, use route export, and use automatic route sync to DJI Pilot 2 via UgCS Cloud or a direct UgCS-to-Pilot 2 connection.
- DJI Matrice 4 Route Sync. For the Matrice 4, UgCS now supports automatic route sync using UgCS Cloud or a direct connection. This is an upgrade from the previous workflow which required manual route export and import.
Note: DJI M400 and Matrice 4 are not yet supported via the UgCS Companion app.
Workflow Changes and Fixes
- Trajectory Smoothing is Now a Standard Feature: This has been moved from "experimental" status and is now a default option in the advanced settings for supported flight planning tools.
- Original Routes Are Now Hidden After Conversion: To prevent users from accidentally uploading the original, unconverted route to a drone, UgCS now automatically hides and locks the source route after it has been converted to waypoints.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an incorrect default drone being selected when creating new routes for the DJI M400 and Matrice 4.
- Fixed IMU calibration segments not being highlighted correctly in LiDAR area tools.
- Resolved an issue where the rangefinder segment color on the elevation profile did not match the actual segment length.
- General stability improvements have been implemented.
