* [ ]  hybrid landing with RTL/QRTL from high alt #10559

This is fixed with this: https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/16977

Hwurzburg commented 3 years ago

-[ ] fence in Plane: if action is guided to return point, and no point is entered, the median lat/long extremes of any fence is used...this generates out of bounds returns and looping behavior around zone boundaries.....should just RTL IMHO -[ ] if you lose GPS, and fall back to DCM?, there is no GCS message informing you of this while in normal flight -[ ] MP fence status, nothing is shown for the simple tincan around home when active

joshanne commented 3 years ago

@Hwurzburg - I've submitted a PR to attempt to address the spiralling loiter behaviour you mention in point 1.

Hwurzburg commented 3 years ago

-[ ] fences in all vehicles: can be ENABLED but none selected in TYPE....probably should be a pre-arm for that and a gcs message if live enabled...

-[ ] New bootloader fails in trad heli firmware
