QGroundControl version 3.3 available

I have an issue with the new update that caused me to go back to the previous version. When planning a mission there is no way to fly a north-south pattern with an Entry point on the western side of the flight path. This is necessary when dealing with wind from the east, or any number of other reasons. I do like the new tap and spin the compass method for setting the flight path angle, I just wish I had more control over the Entry and Exit points. I was testing with a fixed wing I have not tried multirotor with this app yet.

A feature request I would like to see is the possibility to do an “emergency landing” or initiate a landing sequence in a way that will allow the user to take off and return to the last completed point, including a takeoff WP for fixed wing. This is helpful when changing batteries in the middle of a large flight. Currently, the workaround is to plan the mission and fly until you run out of batteries and remember where you left off so you can re-plan the mission over the remaining area.

I hope I’ve been clear thanks for reading this far!
