For any normal use case where a downwards velocity setpoint is set this works exactly the same as before. E.g. autonomous landing, landing in Altitude or Position mode The advantage is that the very common case where a vehicle tries to hold a constant altitude but fails to do so e.g. during a hard brake with too much lift the resulting downwards velocity was interpreted as descend intent and since the vehicle already struggled to hold altitude with low thrust and was not moving fast anymore because it was braking this lead to a lot more false positives on certain vehicle types. The disadvantage is that not setting a downwards velocity setpoint but just moving the position setpoint into the ground does not result in land detection anymore. We do not use this method of landing anymore for quite a while. It's not recommended and I wonder if there's some rare use case like offboard where this is done. We could add an additional case for the specific case to land with a position setpoint only.release/1.12
