BUG FIXES

Disable Inflight Blackout Mode: To fix the issue addressed in the Notice to Operator, Skydio X10D: Enabling Blackout Mode In Flight May Cause Emergency Landing or Crash, published 13 April 2026, the ability to select Blackout Mode while the aircraft is in flight has been disabled.

VT300-Z rev-2 Sensor Package wireless issues: The VT300-Z Rev2 Sensor Package was missing from the shielded category in Microhard RF settings, which capped the output at 27 dBm and significantly reduced the maximum wireless range. They are now correctly categorized and can run at 30+ dBm.

GPS Disabled Fault: Fixed an issue that could block flight due to a GPS fault, even when the GPS was intentionally disabled in vehicle settings. GPS faults are no longer raised when GPS is disabled, and flight is no longer blocked in this configuration.

KLV Metadata: Fixed issues affecting some fields in the MISB 0601 KLV metadata.
