too far off course - map component
I am mapping large areas for photogrammetry, so I tend to fly high and fast, to map as large area as possible. Dronelink calculates where the drone should be at particular time and a single wind gust may lead to the "too far off course error". When that happens, the mission is paused, you need to load it again and then the mission is usually paused again, before the drone reaches its normal cruising speed because is again too far of the course.
Is it technically possible to set the Dronelink flight plan so that the drone will account for being late at particular point, and the flight will not take 15 minutes as planned but e.g. 19 but the mission will not get paused? This is not an issue with Dronedeploy but I do not like the very limited options there. I realize that Dronelink works differently.
What will happen if I set the "Motion error tolerance" to let's say 1000 m?
Thank you.

You can increase the motion tolerance, but in the end that is just masking the issue. You are asking your drone to do something beyond the performance envelope. In the best case will result in invalid data capture (vertical overlaps will be incorrect). In the worst case, the drone may fly along an unplanned route that could be unsafe and result in a crash.
