- Internal improvements.

- Increased Lidar sensitivity (Improvements to the lidar software now enable BLK2FLY to scan objects with lower reflectivity, such as black roofs, wet stockpiles, and dark cars, from greater distances. This not only allows BLK2FLY to capture more details but also enhances the overall point cloud density. The increased sensitivity also enables faster scan speeds, allowing you to cover larger areas in the same time frame.) - Higher flight speeds (Now, you can fly up to twice as fast indoors and outdoors (with obstacle avoidance). This means you can cover more ground in each flight. And together with the increased sensitivity mode, you’ll still maintain the same density of points.) - Greater Exploratory Scanning limits (Our internal optimizations now enable you to plan and explore much larger areas than ever before. Imagine autonomously exploring large landmarks like the Notre Dame in Paris or the Pyramids in Egypt! We can't wait for you to try it out!) - Japan Remote ID (We now support Japan Remote ID! You can easily import your registration profiles directly from the DIPS website to your drone.) - Custom 2D Maps (We're excited to offer a new feature for areas with outdated satellite imagery. You can now import your own custom geoTIFF image file and display it as a base layer in 2D view. It's easy to set up right from the Settings menu (Scanning → Custom 2D Map). We hope this improves your scanning experience and gives you the flexibility you need!) - Communication Loss Actions (This feature allows you to customize what happens if your iPad loses connection to the BLK2FLY. You can choose to do nothing, initiate an automated return after a set timeout, or even have the BLK2FLY complete the current scan before returning. This flexibility is designed to give you peace of mind and better control over your flight operations!) - Distance Measurements (A new “Measurements” button in scan preview screens provides an additional option to measure distances, in addition to measuring volumes. By tapping multiple points, you can view the individual and total distances between them. You can also export and share the measured distances as a PDF.) - Many more internal improvements and fixes (for a full list check out the FW release notes inside the app).
