So this still is not a feature of Litchi?

Here is a very simple and cheap solution:

Use an Apple device with your controller  
Visit the Apple Store  
Pay around $7 for Copterus  
Install on your device  
Connect to your drone  
Choose the drone model  
Select the grid pattern, front and side overlap and other settings  
Fly the mission  
Download your imagery  
Process as required.

I always loved using Litchi in the past, but now I’m concentrating on mapping and 3d models. But without these abilities, I really can’t use Litchi. If flight planning were added, it would be a killer feature set with everything else it already has!  
Please add this in!  
thanks!
