I haven't received one single ADS-B warning since Fly update v1.7.4.
Was wondering if DJI disabled it in the Air 2S somehow with the updates.
2022-9-29 dreamtuner Offline dreamtuner First Officer Flight distance : 1699829 ft Bangladesh Offline| My Airsense setting has always been set on the Highest sensitivity. There are multiple air passages where I live and I have always received Airsense warnings every time I flew up until v1.7.4 installation. I usually don't roll back and now decided to wait for the next Fly app update. |
| Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. We have noticed that the AirSense prompt in previous versions was too sensitive. For example, when a civil aircraft flies by at 1 km above the drone, a prompt will be given. As such, to ensure safety, we adjusted the AirSense function in v01.00.05.00. Please rest assured when you use your product. If you need to confirm whether the AirSense function is normal, please go to the app’s Map, and tap the aircraft icon to adjust the level of potential collision risks as required. Hope this helps. Thank you for your valued support. |

I was doing it that way for a while, until I discovered it wasn't taking RAW pictures. I got JPEGs when in video mode, instead of RAW images. It is apparently necessary to change camera mode first. I wish C2 could be programmed to do this switch. When I do it from the display, it's laggy and then the app crashes.

Reviews for "The Talisman: Peter Straub's Underrated Collaborative Novel"
1. Samantha - 1 star - I found "The Talisman" by Peter Straub to be incredibly boring and confusing. The plot seemed disjointed and hard to follow, with too many unnecessary subplots that distracted from the main story. The characters were also unimaginative and lacked depth, making it difficult to care about their journeys. Overall, I was highly disappointed in this book and would not recommend it to others.
2. John - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "The Talisman" after hearing about its reputation, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The writing style felt overly verbose and excessive, with unnecessary descriptions that made the story drag. Additionally, I felt that the world-building was lacking, leaving me with more questions than answers. The plot also seemed predictable and lacked originality. While there were a few interesting moments, overall, I found "The Talisman" to be a lackluster read.
3. Sarah - 2.5 stars - "The Talisman" by Peter Straub didn't quite live up to the hype for me. While the concept was intriguing, I found the execution to be lacking. The pacing was slow, and the story seemed to meander without a clear direction. The characters felt one-dimensional, making it hard to connect with them or become invested in their struggles. Although there were some moments of suspense and tension, they were few and far between. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed by "The Talisman".
