If you would like to share your mission, we can look at your actual settings instead of trying to duplicate what you have set up.
Not always, be careful…
In this case, if you export to google earth it’s OK but if you fly with Litchi at 3.7m you crash the drone:
the settings in Litchi or Google Earth?
Yes I did not see that.
It should have gone over the mountains.
Are you:
- Creating the mission in Litchi Mission Hub
- Exporting as VLM
- Importing the KML file into Google Earth
This is the screen selection I see in Google Earth
Unfortunately I have to go out now. I’ll look into it further tomorrow. Many thanks to everyone for the responses.
When you have hill (or mountain) between waypoints like you have between WP01 and WP02, Litchi will not make an altitude change to go over that hill. Litchi only knows what to do at waypoints and it will interpolate altitude changes between waypoints if the waypoints are set at different altitudes.
To get over that mountain between WP01 and WP02, you will have to add a waypoint between them at the peak of the mountain. Then, it will fly fine.
couldn’t resist picking it up again. After extension VML and the good heights with enough waypoints it works thanks to your help. Just making waypoints in a mountain area is quite dangerous. But when you know the situation, I think it’s doable, but not huge distances. This link takes you to my Youtube video, made today with the Lichi Beta for the Mini 3 Pro. Everything flat 
You’re right! It is a bit unnerving to venture into uneven terrain without some degree of confidence.
Its very doable and satisfying when you work it out. Cant wait to see some of your final footage. 
Now that I’ve figured out how it works, I’ll give it a try. With these waypoints you run less risk because the glacier is fairly “flat”. I hope to be able to go this year. Then I will definitely post the result.
Another test flight today. What bothered me before, when I connect the smartphone to the controller and turn everything on, the controller does not find the drone. You will see the icon in the screen of the drone. Phone restarted and 5 meters in the air everything is fine but screen remains NOT CONNECTED. The drone just flies its route.
The previous 2 posts should be in the Beta thread, shouldn’t they?
There are 3 major problems with this mission:
The maximum flight altitude for DJI consumer drones is 500m above the take off point.
Your WP2 is about 966m above WP1 (2059-1093=966m)
When control signal is lost, the mission is aborted and will either RTH, Hover or land (depending on your settings).
The maximum distance between 2 waypoints is exceeded
Read this threat for some usefull guidelines:
I make the route in Google Earth first, with Waypoints every 100m approximately and I configure the route with a constant relative distance to the ground, following the existing terrain but minimum 100m from the ground because Google Earth also has errors and you need a safety margin.
Then you create the route in KML in Google Earth and save it.
You open the KML with your route in Litchi Hub and you finish giving them the necessary flight parameters, but the flight route is already done.
I always do it like this.
