@suraqis aborted landings are only supported in fixed wing glide slope landings. It has no effect in vtol modes, so showing it is misleading.

What do you expect to happen when pressing the abort button during a vtol auto-landing?

suraqis commented 6 years ago

I think it should stop descending an climb to altitude where landing descend started in VTOL mode. More simple is to go QLOITER. Of course it should be supported in AP.

I see this feature usefull when there’s some obstacle or people at the place of landing.

@suraqis agree! I am tring to add a button "abort VTOL land" to do so. Just switch to QLOITER mode and simulate a joystick input to hold the vehicle's altitude and position. It's a dummy solution, could give me some sugestions? @magicrub .
