This post, Pix4D flights in DJI GO 4 logs - #2 by software7 , linked to me in a dji forum when I told them I couldn’t find my flight logs in the root folder helped me identify the issue.
What is odd is some of the logs in the root folder were up to date with the recent mission but not all the logs were found there.
That said logs are likely not the answer for someone who is franticly trying to find their drone, some type of GUI notification would likely be better from a user perspective.
The DJI GO app had the last known location of the drone at the home point so it wasn’t of much use as well at the time.
