Stop Drone turning back to direction of path when it comes to end of approach?
Is there ANY way I can stop my drone from turning back to the path heading once it reaches the approach point of a path?

On the Approach I have set heading to 180 in relation to the path. When I run it the drone dutifully turns 180 degrees and faces me as it pulls away BUT as soon as it hits the path it turns back around to face the path.
So frustrating I just want it to keep going backwards.
If I add a marker it slowly turns to face 180 backwards but it takes it time and if I was filming the whole way it would not look good.
Any ideas? I bet there must something simple I am missing as this isn't a complex request?
Many thanks in advance

The mission plan you shared does not have any markers on the path. You need to place a marker right at the start with the drone heading as you want.
Thank you Jim! That has fixed the issue and works perfectly now!

I think I must have been placing the marker slightly into the path even though it looked like it was directly on the approach green point?
Is there any trick to getting that marker right at the very very start of the path to stop that happening in future for me? I think I may have even placed it on the larger Location icon part and it seemed to snap into the right place (but wasn't).
This is great as I have now nailed writing a dronie so can move on now to more complex things, have been trying to work that out for days!
Thanks so much
Andrew
Just drag it a little past the start marker and it will snap to the end.
Works perfectly!
