Copter: Super Simple Mode unpredictable on Home Pos #9632

Bug report

If the Super Simple Mode (Loiter) is active, the flight direction is unpredictable in first Pitch/yaw input. There is no feedback in what position the copter is, relative to it's saved home position. That caused a crash recently in an relative tight area because I launched in Loiter SuperSimple Mode and tried to pitch forward but the Copter is flown to the back left direction and I lost orientation. It landed in bushes before it was able to stop.

There should be a minimum distance threshold from Home before Super Simple gets active.

Version Copter 3.5.7

Platform [ ] All [ ] AntennaTracker [X] Copter [ ] Plane [ ] Rover [ ] Submarine

Airframe type Copter X

Hardware type Pixhawk 2.4.8

How we can transition in and out of supper simple in flight, that is just going to make it even more confusing.

we could disallow arming in supper simple if closer than x meters to home.
