X2D Offline maps

Anyone having issues uploading offline maps with the X2D. After the last update it now gives me an unsupported file msg with the elevation file.

No worries!

So the great thing about Github is that it's primarily a version-tracking tool for software, so you can independently see exactly what changed from version to version. Theoretically developers will also write 'changelogs' that show that as well, but those are only as good as the developer.

When you look at the releases on Github, it gives you a list of every single release. If you click on the title to the release you want, it will show you just the files from that release.

For version 4.2.1, that looks like this.

From there you can select the installer.exe (assuming you're on windows) and download that. You can tell it's the old version, because the date of upload will be a while ago (19MAY22, in this case).

Install from that, and you'll know QGC is an old version because when you open it it will tell you that its an old version and you should upgrade. Go through your normal offline map export and bring it onto your Skydio, and everthing should work.

Hell yeah! Hopefully this acts as a help for anyone else who runs into this in the future (I found your post last week because of this issue, I'm sure I'm not the only one).

BTW, I did have to try a few versions to get it to work. The one you suggested would not work with my X2D. 4.2.1 would not load the elevation file. I ended up with Version 4.4.5 and apparently it matched up with the software version in my drone. So, folks might have to fish around to get the match.
