RigiCloud - version 1.4.0 (including changes in 1.3.0 that was unreleased):

Added

Airbridge Planner:

New safety settings
- Previously, a Quadchute after a contingency situation would always be followed by a simple straight-line Return to Land (RTL) action. Now, new actions are available after a Quadchute, including Hold, Land and Terminate.
- The parachute can now be enabled or disabled for each route.
Simplified Home
- The Home position is now locked to the same latitude and longitude as the Takeoff position. When Takeoff is moved, the Home is moved together with it. Home is no longer displayed as a point in the Planner map view. The only difference between the two points is the Altitude, which can be set for Home as an absolute AMSL value, and for Takeoff as a relative or absolute value.
- The Home position of a route can be updated to the current position of the drone by right-clicking on a live-connected drone. This ensures that a flight plan begins at the real position of the drone.
New Population Layer (Beta - France)
- The population density can be displayed as an overlay of the map, to aid in flight planning using the SORA methodology.
- Currently, only mainland France is available. Additional countries will be added based on demand.

Logistics Center:

Autopilot Flight logs can now be downloaded individually for each Operation by the Head of Operations role
3D review of flight path improved with Eiger drone model

Control Tower:

Status box
- Status box icons have been simplified and improved. Cloud and radio connection icons merged together. Battery status is now displayed. Flight number is no longer displayed.
Edge Nodes
- Edge Nodes are now displayed in Control Tower when they are online, using the position of their integrated GNSS receiver. This first step paves the way for future drone-port integration and logistics network planning features.
Improved telemetry
- Failsafe telemetry (including secondary position, barometric altitude, and status) are now sent through both main and secondary telemetry links
- A warning message is now displayed during pre-flight checks when the motors are about to spin
- A warning message is displayed if the main software of the drone is out of date, recommending a software update
- Autopilot reboot can be triggered from Control Tower during pre-flight

General:

Improved U-turn behaviour
- When a U-turn is requested through a return-mission RTL the drone will now perform the turn with equal distances from the main flight line, rather than turning simply to one side. This provides a better chance of staying within a flight corridor that's centered on the main flight path. It will always do the U-turn in clock-wise direction.
Improved safety
- A warning is now displayed when the Secondary LTE telemetry link of the Failsafe is not present during arming
Improved communications
- Drone telemetry now passes through a Gateway node that better manages bandwidth and messages sent between drone and servers

Improved Global Position Loss behaviour
- After a Global Position Loss the drone will now descend at a higher speed until ground is detected. This limits the drift in the drone's position as it descends, ensuring better containment.
Improved Hardware support
- Support for new high-accuracy magnetometer in Eiger
Improved safety
- Autopilot heartbeat frequency increased for faster reactivity to failures
