Missions not opening in Mission Hub

Hullo: I have done a search on this and found a thread from a few years ago. That said this occasionally happens and it’s just a matter of waiting a few days and all will be well again. I have several missions I saved and none will open. I did I admit have a play with the Beta Hub using the flight simulator but that was after the problem first appeared. What have I done in trouble shooting. I’ve logged in and out. No joy. I’ve reinstalled Google Earth. No joy. I’ve cleared caches on my laptop. Temp files etc. no joy. I’m stumped. So here I am. I can set up a new mission save it run it in Beta flight simulation. And after that even tho it’s there in my saved missions it won’t open again. I’ve tried it on my IPhone. And an Android tablet I have. And the same problem occurs. So that rules out any problem with my laptop. Which I always use to run the Hub. So I raise my hands in total surrender. I have waited two days so far to see if it corrects itself. But no. Any ideas anybody. Cheers Trevor.

Hullo Again. Well I found the problem. Which happened to be me. Right I started playing with the series of missions I had previously planned. Just checking settings, altitudes waypoints etc.After bringing them up in mission hub and being satisfied all was well before flying the missions later this week. To get out of each seperate mission I clicked on The X Clear Map option. This was even if I hadn’t modified anything. I was under the understanding that this would just clear the map. Not delete the mission. As I assumed the only way to delete a mission was to open Missions and do it from there. So I started practising with a couple of test missions I quickly created. But instead of using the X to clear the map. I first went back into Missions and clicked on the save option. And voila that solved my problem. I could go back into Missions “Open” and the mission populated again. So with that out of the way I moved to my Beta problem where I was getting a similar problem with ruining a mission from the original Hub on the flight simulator. The mission ran alright but then I couldn’t find a Save option there nor any way to exit apart from the clear all button. Which of course gave me the same problem. Luckily I stumbled on a solution. I went into a settings menu where one of the options was make a copy of my mission. So I did that then Xed Clear Map to get out. I then found that the copy showed up in my saved missions and voila opened just like that. So now I can fly the missions in simulation mode and not lose them. Don’t know if all this makes sense. But it works for me. I do get a tad confused with Litchi mission hub. Maybe this is the correct way to do things and I overlooked it. Anyway I’m one happy chappie. Now I can go fly the mission at last. Cheers Trevor

Litchi Hub has auto save so you never have to manually save (and in fact you can’t).
Any change you make is automatically saved
Clear Map does exactly what it says. Since there is an auto save, if you clear the map, your flight becomes empty and that is also saved.
To create a new flight, open the flight library then click on + then New Flight

Thanks for the input Vico. Everything is back to normal now. The glitch has disappeared. No more missions in Original Mission Hub failing to open. As they were for three days. I still have the problem of when I open and fly a previously saved mission from the old Hub on the Beta Hub Flight Simulator that Mission no longer works.once I’ve flown it Shows in my Missions folder. But won’t open. But as I said. I found a workaround. I create a Duplicate. And that Duplicate opens no problem when I go back to the Original Hub. I use an IOS Apple I phone. As my controller. So am sticking with the old Hub. As I read it. The Beta won’t work on my I phone. I use either a Phantom 3 STD. Or a Phantom 4 Advanced. Cheers Trev.

Do not use both new and old Hub together, that’s asking for problems.
You can switch to the new Hub, there should be no need to use the old Hub regardless of the drone model you use or the platform you’re on. iOS + P3/P4 is supported in the new Litchi Hub.

Well it me again Vico. Took your sound advice and just concentrated on the Beta Hub. Sadly this problem still persists. I plan a mission. When all looks good. I clear the map. The mission name shows in my missions folder. However when I go to open it all I get is a red padlock top left corner. (Flight Locked). Unlocking it. Just populates the side bar options. I have logged in and out. No change. I have tried several different Browsers. No change. I opened the Hub on my IPhone tried on that. No change. Did similar on my Android Tablet. No change. Obviously this problem is peculiar just to me. The only way I have been able to save a flight and open it again is use the Duplicate option. But then the same problem replicates itself when I open the Duplicate. So at this stage I have two options stick with the Old Hub. Or by using Beta , once I’m all happy with my mission settings. Create a duplicate and do not open again. Until I am at site open the Litchi App and ready to fly the mission. To say that this problem I have is perplexing is an under statement. Like I say. It’s a just me thing but can’t see that I am doing anything wrong Regards Trev

Vico’s explanation is quite clear.

There’s no need to use “Clear Map" unless you want to completely wipe out the mission you are creating and start that same mission over again.

Once you have created a mission, it is automatically saved.

Then, to begin a NEW mission, use the ‘+’ to add a new mission which will begin with a clear map.

Sam G. Oh so simple all of a sudden. I know what I was doing wrong now . And you and Vico have got me sorted. Now working like a charm. If you guys lived locally I’d buy you a box of beer. Don’t drink. Then chocolates. Don’t eat chocolate. Well then I’d bake a cake. Once again my profound thanks to you both. Another customer sported. Cheers Trev. Westport New Zealand.

Must admit this new method threw me when I first used the new hub
