I recently created a flight plan that automatically sets the altitudes above the ground. The problem is that the altitudes are still relative to the takeoff point and not the ground. Let me explain: if I set the flight altitude to 60m, waypoint 1 should be 60m + ground altitude, but instead it only shows 60m, and the drone calculates it from the takeoff point. And (as happened to me), if you take off from a lower altitude, the drone risks crashing, or in any case, once it reaches the waypoint, it will be at a lower altitude.
Am I making a mistake in my settings, or is it a program error?
I apologize for the errors, but I use a translator.

Currently it is assumed you will take off at a location with similar ground elevation as where the 1st waypoint is (easier to just put the 1st waypoint where you are planning to take off).
In a future update you will be able to set a separate planned take off location though the principle will remain the same. We are also planning to update Litchi Pilot at some point so that altitudes are recalculated based on actual take off location upon starting the flight but that is not the case yet.

Thanks for your reply. I hope you can implement all this soon because it’s often not easy to take off near the first waypoint, especially if you use a different program to set the flight grid and then import it into Litchi.
