Leave the default parameters at the last step. More information about this window can be found
in the section “Route parameters”. To create a route with provided settings click “Ok”. A
new route card will be displayed with the specified name;

Select any of the Flight planning tools and add segments on a map by double-clicking or “SHIFT+left click”. Each Route's planning tool has an associated inspector window allowing to adjust parameters like coordinates, altitude, speed, etc., that will be considered during the calculation process. The turn type and camera actions settings can also be adjusted in the inspector window.

The path-finding algorithm of UgCS will automatically start the calculation of the flight path in a
few seconds after the user stops editing the route. The status of the calculation will be displayed as the Route’s calculation indicator on the Route’s card.

When the route is successfully calculated (green checkmark) it can be Uploaded to the vehicle.

To take off, Arm the vehicle and turn on Auto flight mode.

IMPORTANT! Operation procedures differ for each vehicle type. E.g. some of them may start from the ground, others require manual take-off to a safe altitude. Please read carefully the vehicle operation guide and UgCS “How to connect…” manuals. Pilot MUST know how to act in emergency situations at all times.

Note: safety is always a responsibility of the pilot!!!
