Unplug and Plug back in the USB cable – Look for the notification that asks what app you would like to use. If you do not see this notification, it is most likely that the DJI app is set as default. Proceed to step 2. You may have to clear the DJI Fly application defaults. Please follow these instructions. Go to: Settings > Device Settings > Applications > Applications Manager Find “DJI Pilot or Fly” App Go to “Set as Default” and then click “Clear Defaults.”
Unplug and plug back in the USB cable again – you should now see the notification that asks what app you would like to use – choose Skippy Scout. Make sure that the Skippy Scout and DJI apps are not running at the same time, as they will interfere with one another, so Force DJI Fly or Pilot to close: Close the DJI Fly or Pilot app Go to ‘Settings’ Choose ‘apps and notifications’ Find DJI Fly or Pilot on the list and tap it
You might need to choose ‘see all apps’ Tap “Force stop” & confirm

Check you max altitude and distance settings in the DJI Fly or Pilot apps

This could be due to a few reasons (you can fix it): The drones compass may have been incorrect when you made the flight. In the future, be sure to calibrate the compass before doing any flights if you have moved more than 30 miles from you last flight, or if you haven't flown in a while. Was your field boundary input correctly? Check the map in the app…
To fix it, you can calibrate the values… https://droneag.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SS/pages/1651572765/Using+Scout+Spheres#Boundary-not-matching-the-field%3F |
