Decrypt any DJI flight log with Flight Reader

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.25 includes the following changes:
  • New aircraft/battery usage reports are available to show the aircraft/battery usage stats (min/max/average/total) for any time frame. To access these reports, right click any flight in the main Flight Reader window and choose the desired aircraft/battery usage report from the “Reports” menu.

  • “FLIGHT.mileage”, “TAKEOFF.location”, and “TAKEOFF.locationAddress” fields have been added to the Aircraft Report. The new location fields show the city/region/address closest to the flight location.

  • “DETAILS.location” and “DETAILS.locationAddress” fields have been added to the Aircraft Log to show the city/region/address closest to the flight location.

  • “Location”, “Flight Start Time Actual”, “Flight End Time Actual”, and “Total Mileage” columns have been added to the flight list in the main Flight Reader window. The new Time Actual columns show times in the time zone at the flight location.

  • Added seconds to the flight start/end times in the aircraft/battery reports for additional precision.

  • In the main Flight Reader window, flights on the same date are now sorted by time in descending order (most recent flight at the top).

  • Resolved an issue that prevented some flights from being deleted from the flight list in the main flight reader window.

  • Added missing tooltip descriptions to the “Available Fields” and “Selected Fields” lists in the “Logs/Reports” section of the Flight Reader Options window.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
 
A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.29 includes the following changes:
  • Select multiple flights in the main Flight Reader window, right click, and choose “KML” to load all selected flight paths into Google Earth (or your default KML viewer) at the same time.

  • New median fields have been added to the battery usage report. This might be useful in cases where the average is skewed due to an extreme value existing within the selected report range. Those new fields include “MED.chargeLevelEnd”, “MED.chargeLevelStart”, “MED.batteryTemperature [C]”, “MED.batteryTemperature [F]”, and “MED.flightDuration”.

  • New battery usage report fields have been added to show stats for the battery cell deviation. Those new fields include “MIN.highCellDeviation [%]”, “MAX.highCellDeviation [%]”, “AVG.highCellDeviation [%]”, and “MED.highCellDeviation [%]”.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
 
A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.34 includes the following changes:
  • Added “Flight mode changed to {flight mode}” message in the “APP.tip” field when the flight mode changes.

  • Removed the “APP.message” field and merged its content with the “APP.tip” field since both fields were showing informational messages.

  • Resolved an issue that was preventing the “HOME.heightLimit” field from being populated for some drone models.

  • Resolved incorrectly formatted messages in the “APP.tip” and “APP.warning” fields when those messages were logged in non-English languages.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
 
A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.37 includes the following changes:
  • Extracted additional battery percentage and cell voltage data for dual battery drones. Depending on the drone model you're flying and the data recorded in the TXT flight log, some or all of the individual battery data might not be available in the TXT flight log file for extraction.

  • In Flight Reader 1.5.28, a change was made to use the longest available aircraft serial number (since there can be several aircraft serial numbers inside the TXT flight log file). This release will update the displayed aircraft serial number for any flights using the old shorter serial number if another flight log was processed for the same aircraft and it's displaying a longer serial number.

  • Swapped the values for the "Date Actual" and "Date Local" columns and the "Flight Start/End Time Actual" and "Flight Start/End Time Local" columns in the main Flight Reader window since they were displaying in the wrong columns.

  • When right clicking a flight in the main Flight Reader window to generate a report from the "Reports" menu, the aircraft/battery serial number displayed in the report menu items was not always displaying the correct serial number. This was only a display issue with the menu as the generated reports still included the data for the correct aircraft/battery.

  • When a flight log is processed, Flight Reader extracts any snapshot images it finds inside of the TXT flight log file. When a snapshot image is exported, a thumbnail image for that snapshot should also be created for display in the "Photo" column of the main Flight Reader window. This release corrects an issue where the thumbnail image was sometimes not being created and displayed in the main Flight Reader window.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
 
A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.44 includes the following changes:
  • Added the following log fields for drones equipped with a DJI D-RTK antenna: RTK.aircraftLatitude, RTK.aircraftLongitude, RTK.baseStationLatitude, RTK.baseStationLongitude, RTK.baseStationAltitude [ft], and RTK.baseStationAltitude [m].

  • Resolved an issue that was sometimes preventing pilots from being auto assigned to flight logs downloaded from the DJI Cloud when syncing flight logs.

  • Improved the logic used to populate the “CAMERA.isPhoto” and “CAMERA.isVideo” fields to account for various inconsistencies across DJI drone models and DJI flight application versions.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
 
A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.46 includes the following changes:
  • Made additional improvements to resolve incorrect data that was sometimes being populated in the "CAMERA.isPhoto" and "CAMERA.isVideo" fields.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
 
A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.47 includes the following changes:
  • The columns in the map window can now be added/removed/reordered/renamed by configuring the “Map Log” fields in the “Logs/Reports” section of the Flight Reader Options window.

  • Added new “BATTERY.cellVoltageDeviation [V]” and “BATTERY2.cellVoltageDeviation [V]” fields to show the current difference in voltage among the battery cells.

  • Added new “RTK.aircraftAltitude [ft]” and “RTK.aircraftAltitude [m]” fields to show the aircraft’s current altitude as reported by the RTK module.

  • Added new “RTK.aircraftHeight [ft]”, “RTK.aircraftHeight [m]”, “RTK.aircraftHeightMax [ft]”, and “RTK.aircraftHeightMax [m]” fields to show the aircraft’s current or maximum height above the takeoff location as reported by the RTK module.

  • Updated the “RTK.baseStationAltitude [ft]” and “RTK.baseStationAltitude [m]” fields to display altitude values when negative. Previous versions of Flight Reader were hiding these values when they were below zero.

A new version of Flight Reader is available. Release 1.5.48 includes the following changes:
  • Made improvements to numeric value formatting to prevent those values from ending with a decimal symbol or a zero decimal place value when the number is also 0 (e.g. 0.0).

  • When using the default Map Log fields in the Map window, the “IMU Height” column was displaying the max height instead of the current height.
See the release notes for a complete list of changes.
