Fly4Cast RC2 v0.8.1-beta — the pairing QR, fixedrc2app

The pairing QR is bigger and now uses a higher error-correction level, so a phone camera reads it off the controller's glossy screen far more easily. Reported by a pilot whose reader simply would not scan it.
The pairing card is now sized from the screen it is on instead of a fixed size, so it can no longer overflow and cut the QR off on a shorter display.
No placeholder QR any more: while the pairing is still being requested the plate stays blank, so you can never scan a code that carries nothing.
The landscape layout no longer clips on short screens — the GPS/Settings row, the SIGNAL block and the instrument values all stay fully visible. Rotating the controller keeps an open pairing alive instead of cancelling it.

Takeoff check on mobile + a light theme for sunlightmobileapp

The full Takeoff check is now on the iOS and Android apps too: a go / caution / no-go verdict with a pass-count, wind & light guidance and a suggested flight time, plus a tap-to-expand list of every check — gusts vs your drone's limit, surface & altitude wind, precipitation, visibility, cloud base, temperature, Kp, GNSS satellites, reachable range, airspace / no-fly, GPS jammers, air traffic and light.
New Light / Dark / Auto appearance setting (Settings → Appearance). The light theme is built for reading the app outdoors in bright sunlight.

Clearer beta sign-up + RC2 streams to your phonemobilelive

Joining the beta is clearer now: sign up, mark your device, and give the email tied to your App Store (Apple ID) or Google Play account — we add you to the closed test and send the invite. You can't download it straight from the store; we have to add you to the list first.
The Fly4Cast RC2 companion now streams your drone's live telemetry to your phone app too, not just the web cockpit.

A simpler first run — set up step by stepappui

New pilots now start with a clean, guided setup instead of the whole app at once: first pick your take-off location on the map, then add your drone — and the rest unlocks from there.
The full-screen cockpit also sends you straight to location setup with one tap when none is set yet.

Fly4cast for iPhone — now in TestFlight betamobilelive

Fly4cast is now a native iOS app, in open TestFlight beta — a full twin of the Android app and the website: weather & flyability, wind at altitude, the camera/ND advisor, the hazard map and the live RC2 cockpit.
New on iOS: a Live Activity with Dynamic Island support that shows your flight on the Lock Screen while you're up, and a Home Screen widget (small, medium or large) with your conditions at a glance — score, wind, gust, rain and the hourly/daily outlook.
Join the beta from the Mobile page or directly at testflight.apple.com/join/jB7zbHqP. Everything stays in sync with the web and Android — your drones, gear, checklists and logbook follow you everywhere.
The Mobile page now gives iOS and Android equal billing.

Pro is free for life if you join before 1 Oct 2026accountlive

Paid plans begin on 1 October 2026. Until then Fly4cast stays fully unlocked — and anyone who upgrades to Pro (free) before that date keeps Pro free for life.
After launch, Pro will be $9.99/mo; Studio, for teams and operators, will be $19/mo. The pricing on the site now makes the launch offer and the start date clear.
Nothing you set up now disappears when paid plans start — your account keeps working and you'll be told well in advance.

Invite friends — and watch Fly4cast growaccountcommunity

Your account now has an invite dashboard: share your code or link, invite by email (in English or Turkish), and see how many pilots you've invited and how many are active.
The invite email is richer too — it introduces Fly4cast and links to the mobile apps, so the people you invite arrive already knowing what it does.
Fly4cast is free for everyone during launch, and the more pilots who use it, the faster it grows and improves. Thank you for helping.

Fly4cast for Android — now in beta on Google Playmobilelive

Fly4cast is now a native Android app: weather & flyability, wind at altitude, the camera/ND advisor, the hazard map and a live cockpit for your DJI RC2 — all on your phone.
It's in an open beta right now. Reply to any Fly4cast email to get the tester link, or check the Mobile page for how to join.
Everything stays in sync with the website: your drones, gear, checklists and logbook follow you across phone and browser.
An iOS version is coming soon.

Fly4Cast RC2 v0.8-beta — monitoring-only, clearer Go-Livelivecockpit

Radio-mode control has been removed — the RC2 companion app is monitoring-only now: it shows the mode but never changes it.
The signal/GPS guard still warns the moment satellites drop or the link is lost.
A clearer Telemetry → Go Live flow, plus a new app icon. Download v0.8-beta from Account → API keys → Connected controllers.

7 Aug 2026

Fly4Cast RC2 beta — download it from your accountlivecockpit

The Fly4Cast RC2 app for your DJI controller is now available to download from Account → API keys → Connected controllers, with SHA-256 checksums and a full step-by-step sideload guide for the RC2.
The live cockpit now shows link signal and satellite count as live graphs, with a clear green “connected” state — red is reserved for real problems.
A prominent alert flags GPS jamming/interference the moment satellites drop, and the numbers and map marker glide smoothly between updates.
If your controller is paired but not streaming yet, the cockpit prompts you to start a flight in the app before you fly.

Live cockpit v2 — signal, radio mode & GPS-jammer eventscockpitlive

The live cockpit now shows link/signal quality and the radio mode (CE/FCC) alongside altitude, speed, heading and V/S.
Fast-moving numbers and the map marker now glide smoothly between telemetry frames instead of jumping.
Possible GPS-jammer events (sudden satellite drops) are flagged live on the map, and you can confirm them as jammers from the flight replay afterwards.

7 Aug 2026

Remote-ID labels fixed for the Mini 3/4/5 Prodrones

The Mini 5 Pro, Mini 4 Pro and Mini 3 Pro are no longer shown as “RID-free” — on current firmware they broadcast Remote ID on every battery, even under 250 g.
The RID badge now also reacts to your battery choice: a Plus battery that pushes a drone over 250 g is shown as broadcasting.

6 Aug 2026

Watch your flight live in the cockpit — Fly4Cast RC2cockpitlive

Pair the Fly4Cast app on your DJI RC2 to your account and your drone's telemetry streams straight into the web cockpit — position, altitude, speed, heading, GPS and more, live.
When you land, the flight is saved to your logbook automatically with a full replay — no file exports needed.
Watch your own flight, or have another pilot follow along with you in real time.

6 Aug 2026

Share a flight with anyonelogbook

Any saved flight can get a public share link — whoever you send it to can watch the replay (path, altitude/speed playback and stats) with no login.
Turn sharing on or off per flight from your logbook.

5 Aug 2026

Cockpit overhaul — live traffic & a 24-hour forecastcockpitweather

Live air traffic now shows real, altitude-coloured aircraft that point their heading, on a wide map that reloads as you pan and zoom.
New aircraft cards flag anything low that's closing on your area, with its altitude, climb/descent and closest-approach distance.
The next-24-hours outlook is now a clean wind & gust graph with your drone's wind limit, plus tappable hourly cards.

4 Aug 2026

Guided post-flight reviewcockpit

After landing, the cockpit now asks one question at a time — how the flight went, how accurate the forecast was, any hazards, and your ratings.
Save your take-off point as a private flyspot in one tap, and flag a GPS-jamming hazard to report it.
Range estimates now account for the climb and descent, not just cruise.

3 Aug 2026

Expert exposure modecamera

New Expert exposure panel in Camera: lock any of aperture / shutter / ISO and leave the rest blank.
It fills the missing dials, tells you the matching ND filter, and how many stops over- or under-exposed you are for the live light — reverse of the recommend-only mode.

3 Aug 2026

Autel drones + a Remote-ID badgedronesrid

Added Autel Robotics: EVO Nano+, EVO Lite+, EVO II Pro V3 and EVO Max 4T — pick them under the Autel brand.
New Remote-ID badge on every drone: sub-250 g is exempt (recreational), and it warns when a Plus battery pushes you over 250 g so Remote ID kicks in.
In the cockpit, a Remote ID box reads off your selected drone.

3 Aug 2026

Cockpit — Start Flight, timer & post-flight reviewcockpit

New Start Flight button: it re-checks any unticked pre-flight items and shows them, then starts once you confirm — logging your take-off spot and time.
A live in-flight timer while you fly.
End the flight to get a post-flight card: add the spot to Flyspots, upload the log, run the post-flight checklist, and tell us how it went — with star ratings for the app and your own flying.
The live traffic radar is now a real map with a rotating radar sweep — nearby aircraft as arrows coloured by altitude, and you as the blue dot.

3 Aug 2026

Flyspots — a map of where pilots actually flyflyspotsmapscommunity

New Flyspots map: browse community take-off spots with notes and access/parking tips.
Add your own spots — public for the community, or private just for you (only you ever see private ones).
Turn any saved flight's take-off into a flyspot in one tap from your Flight logs.
Street / Satellite / Hybrid layers on the flyspots map too.

3 Aug 2026

Flight logbook — stats, one map, animated playbacklogsmaps

New Logbook overview on your Flight logs: total flights, air time, distance flown and aircraft used, filterable by year.
All your flights — take-off points and routes — on a single map, with a filter for each year.
Every map now has Street / Satellite / Hybrid layers.
Flight playback: a play button animates the track, with a live speedometer, heading compass and a synced altitude/speed graph so you can see exactly where you sped up or climbed.

3 Aug 2026

New drones, clearer picker & legal polishdronesuilegal

Added DJI Avata 360, DJI Matrice 4T and AntiGravity A1 to the drone list.
New brand → category → model drone picker — pick the brand first, then the category, then the exact model.
Flight Cockpit: wind radar and live traffic radar now sit side by side, and all cockpit text is readable on the dark theme.
Data sources & credits added in-app and in the legal page, including full openAIP attribution and a thank-you.
Trademark notices for DJI and AntiGravity / Insta360.

Flight Cockpit & feedbackcockpitfeedback

Flight Cockpit — a full-screen page with auto-verified conditions, wind radar, live traffic radar and pre/post-flight checklists.
In-app feedback button so pilots can send ideas and bug reports directly.
Softened the approaching-aircraft alert (pulses a few times, then holds a steady outline).
