Litchi app update fixes takeoff error for DJI Air 2S drone

Litchi, one of the most trusted automated flight planning apps for DJI drones, has released a new update – its first in almost five months. This update fixes the issue that was preventing Air 2S drones from taking off with Litchi.

Many Air 2S users who use the Litchi app had reported problems after a recent firmware update for the drone. The new drone software package seemingly introduced an incompatibility error in the take-off function for third-party apps that use the DJI Mobile SDK to add features not natively present in drones. As such, takeoff would either fail or get blocked in not just Litchi but also other popular third-party apps including Maven and Dronelink.

Litchi’s November 2022 update comes after DJI released a new Mobile SDK for the $999 Air 2S drone. Here’s everything the latest version of the app brings with it…
