Added radar feature. (you need to turn this on in HUD settings) It shows your heading and the heading of the Bebop. The radar feature works with and without the SkyController
New settings menue: flight limits. You can set a distance limit there or turn it off. Moved the altitude limit in this menu.
New flight settings options: banked turns and max tilt speed aka "smooth to stop / start"
New settings menu: stream settings. You can minimize latency or maximize reliability from here. There is now also an option to turn off video streaming completely. Added the ability to change the aspect of the video stream.
New video recording options: video stabilization for roll, nick, both or no stabilization at all. 24,25,30 FPS, video resolution in 720p and 1080p. Please note that, recording in 1080p will reduce the streaming quality to 480p.
Fixed a problem with the generation of the location string for the flight log.
Increased the down tilt up to 90 degree for Bebop 2.
Very big thank you to my friend KM Tang in Hongkong for so many suggestions, improvements, flames and comments.
1.2.1

Media Library shows date and the source of the media in a more readable format.
Fixed bug that occured when trying to change a button configuration for a MFI gamepad.
Fixed a problem in the HUD when using the iPhone 6 Plus that could caused a button not to respond.
Fixed a problem that caused the crosshair to represent drone moves even if this option was turned off.
Fixed a german localization problem in the compass calibration process.
Added a confirmation before starting the compass calibration process.
1.2

Skycontroller integration. You can now connect with the old colored Skycontrollers and with the new black edition. This version is not able to pair a Skycontroller to a Bebop, you need to do this in the wifi manager of Free Flight 3.
Added background / foreground handling. You can now leave the app, and get back without having to reconnect. (if not too much time has passed)
Added a higher delay between the automatic flat trim and the take-off. Changed the flat trim message to "Flat Trim before Take-Off" to distinguish it from the normal "Flat Trim" messsage which could be confusing especially when using a gamepad controller.
Diagnosis page shows Parrot SDK version.
Added compass calibration tool. (Settings -> Tools)
Sometimes the video recording did not start although "auto video record" was activated. This is fixed.
Improved offline mode.
Instead of showing a "wifi signal lost" message the app will go to the start menue screen like the Free Flight app does. That way it is more obvious how to reconnect.
The quick tilt button symbol now represents the current camera angle (instead of the next camera angle) this may be confusing at first but it is much more intuitive that before.
GPS Status shows also the amount of found satellites. Bebop 2 only, Bebop 1 can't show the amount of satellites.
App does now calculate the distance between the Bebop drone and the home location. There is a new distance setting and of course the distance is logged in the flight log.
Seperated flight settings and control settings.
Altitude label does now respect the unit settings.
In many FPV flights it turned out that having altitude, speed and distance were split too far across the screen. Those values are now in the upper left on iPhone and iPad and in the lower left when using the Sky Controller.
Upgraded to Parrots SDK 3.8.3.
Tweaked joystick controls. Also increased dead zone when using virtual joysticks.
Added Media library, you can show photos and videos after transfering them from the drone to your device. There is a new row in Settings -> Tools -> Transfer Media.
Because the media library replaces the position of the "offline mode" on the start screen, the offline mode is now an entry in the list of found drones.
Added a litte more alpha to the bottom bar. Tweaked bottom bar.
The quick tilt button is more on the right so you can press it with your thumb on the iPhone.
Flight Log now uses reverse geocode location to show the address of the flight location.
Important bugfix for a mode 5 and mode 6 issue, that was not fixed completely in the last version.
Flight Log now uses reverse geocode location to show the address of the flight location.
You can now open the last known position in maps für navigation.
Minor Bugfixes.
1.1
2016-01-28
Added full support for the Bebop 2.
Added "last known position" tool. For the experienced users it may seems obvious to gather the last known position of the Bebop from a flight log, for everyone else there is a new menu in the "tool" sections of the settings "last known position". With a tap on this menu you will get the last known flight position of your Bebop Drone. This could be handy if you have to search your Bebop Drone one day in case of an emergency landing or crash - hopefully you will never need it.
Added new button functions to control the camera tilt with your MFI gamepad. This works great for the D-Pad, so much fun.
Added a new help video to show the camera tilt example configuration.
Added app icon for iPad Pro.
Fixed the button issue "not following thumb on pressing" - actually it did follow but you couldn't see it.
Fixed a bug that prevented the offline mode button and help menu button from being pressed everywhere in the square.
Tweaked virtual joysticks to allow a more precise control.
Updated to Parrots SDK Version 3.8. Please make sure you are using firmware 2.0.57 and later for the Bebop drone and firmware 3.0.2 and later for the Bebop 2 drone.
