Re: Radio Menu only has 9 pages instead of 13 (and do Display page)

Did you use the same radio profile in Companion and hence the same firmware file for both radios?
Or
Did each radio have its own radio profile in Companion and hence a different firmware file?

Re: OpenTX 2.2.1 wireless teacher-student over serial port-SBUS does not work

My understanding is that he is saying:
His setup works with 2.2.0 but does not work with 2.2.1.
External module bay occupied by the multi-module so he does not use it for wireless training.
He uses the battery bay serial port for sbus wireless training. This works under 2.2.0 but not under 2.2.1.

Re: Automatic reboot while flying with a QX7

The next version of OpenTX 2.2.1 will have a shutdown warning if rx is connected. An audio alert and a screen prompt that one has to clear by pressing enter to complete shutdown. This is optional and can be configured on the radio menu setup screen.

Re: Can LUA detect if reset flight has occurred?

Not directly.
I had to monitor Telemetry values to figure it out.
For example
Gps pilot location only changes when a reset is done
So if prev not = current gps pilot lat or long
