Re: Why I will no longer provide support on the HK 9XR Forum

While I understand your feeling, I think you're being overly sensitive... Several German forums do not allow links to "for sale" sections of other forums for example. There are other examples. It's not just HK. This being said, I also think it is a stupid practice (and I would also have go...

I would like to be able to apply that fix, but this is sadly the view from my office: And it looks like that far to many days of the year not to fly in the white stuff. On a positive note the snow has a nice buffering effect when you land vertically (a frequent occurrence for me). Hey, an office vi...

Sanwa RD8000

Hi All, I just received my second hand Sanwa RD8000 and it looks like the SKY9X board will fit... I'm not an electronics specialist, so I will need LOTS of help to pull this off, but if I do, I will finally have the TX I've always dreamed of, display on top, voice, the software I want/like, no or ve...

Re: open9x-r1439

If there is only one field in a line, it's not needed to press [MENU] to edit it. That's the global rule in open9x, and also er9x if I remember well! Bertrand. OK, but it still behaves differently in that I can also select/highlight the items with the menu button... No problem really, but my backli...

OK, this works indeed : |d|>ofs Timer2 6 gives me a beep (not continuous) every minute indeed. But the 10 s step and limited values prevent me from doing much else with it... A lot could be done with 1s (or even 1/2 pr 1/3 s) steps and 1000 or so max. value (2000 or 3000) oops, spoken too soon, afte...

I don't have that... maybe I need to have another (sub)set of the software? I tried Beep (continuous) with d>=Ofs 120 and 60 etc(negative values as well), but could only get it to play when I reset my timer 2 (to 10:00)

Timer issue(s)

The two timers I have on my main screen work just the way I would want them to, the top one counting down my motor time (30s for F5J) while the bottom one counts down my total flight time (10 minutes or 15 minutes for F5J). I get a warning for motor time at 20, 10, 3,2,1 seconds... great. After that...

I loaded Open9X onto my TX and am quite happy with it. I did however run into "problems" already. I cannot use the throttle stick as a flight phase switch. I tried working around it with custom switches, but Throttle M does not work for me either. Why can't throttle be used this way?Or is ...
