Re: Radio setup: lost of time

I have this same problem... same reset date/time.... I hadn't noticed when it started, but it was at least 'months' ago. I changed the RTC battery and it still does it. 1970.01.01 00:00 Every time you power it off then back on (whenever later). Whether it flukes timing that is began on a certain Ope...

Re: Looking for help with logic switches for throttle

For a start. Does a bit more than just the sticky throttle too. L1 checks for Throttle Stick under -99 (fully to the bottom) L2 makes sure L1 is met AND SF is 'enabled' (not Throttle Cut) L3 'sticks' if L2 is met.... and 'unsticks' if SF goes to 'disabled' (Throttle Cut) L4 Checks if the Throttle in...

Re: Taranis: Set up Rudder & Nose gear Mixing

You might also use the Gear Switch as a 'gate' (enable/disable) for that Ch6 Steering, so that steering is only enabled when the Gear is DOWN. So that using Rudder whilst you retract the Gear will not make it do funky moves (turns) and possibly hit the fuselage sides as it goes in. Ch6, Max, "0...

OpenTX (V2.2 ?) Sounds structure - idea/request

I don't think this is supported in OpenTX so far (?) Could it be made to allow SUB-FOLDERS - much like the SYSTEM folder is used by the system. I have a LOT of Model specific Functions sounds. And a lot of Model 'information' sounds. When you have a lot of sounds, you have to scroll 'for days' when ...

Re: Companion Log Viewer - "Knots"

So in 2.1 you set up for 'duplicate' sensor(s), set for the two different units, and it will Log those automatically - or do you have to set up a set of factors to log. eg both of those then?

Looks like I better finally change to V2.1 !!

Re: Companion Log Viewer - "Knots"

In the Companion Viewer? But you still not get to CHANGE that in the Viewer if you want to see other number systems? So that would be good to have in the Viewer (conversion I guess). At least it helps a bit to get it in the format you were using.... Is the number format stored in the Log files then?...

Companion Log Viewer - "Knots"

The Companion Log Viewer only gives you a unit of measurement of KNOTS for Airspeed.
Also only METRES for barometer Altitude.

Could it be set up (future version) to allow configuration of the units you want to use/see?
eg Airspeed (any speeds) in Knots, Kmh, Mph (m/s ?)
Altitude in Metres and in Feet

9XR OpenTX and Trainer Port

Does the 9XR only run in Trainer Master mode if the 9XR was powered up by the JR Trainer Port? And if so, does that mean the PPM direction is then IN? Or OUT? I assume it would be IN, to accept the Slave's signals. As far as I can see you don't get to decide that in any OpenTX settings, so I assume ...

I will try that!

Is it just that way on the 9XR (or maybe a few TX types)?
Versus Taranis having a pop up menu. Maybe that can't be done viably on the 9XR. (I forget it ER9X had pop up menus)
