i dont know if it is fixed by now or i did something wrong but in firmware 2.0.33, in CLI when i enter 'setup' i get the message "Warning, your radio is not yet configured, type 'radio' to configure it!" even when i already did it, ive even hovered a few times and did radio test and it seems to work fine.

I dont know if it matters, but im only using a USB cable (without lipo plugged in) so my radio receiver is not being powered on while on the CLI.

Had the same, you should power your receiver with an external battery during setup, then it remembers it's settings.

About the simple mode with althold... I for one am not too big a fan of that, cause I have heli experience and flying in simple is rather difficult for me :-) Already crashed once, cause I followed my hexa around the garden while still in simple. After the first 90° turn (I turned too) I pushed the stick forward and the copter flew sideways into the plants :-) Then I noticed simple was still on (from switching back from althold)

But I guess there could be a compile option orso to still get althold without simple ?

I use the level reset facility when at the field by holding full right rudder with low throttle.  This works great but at ehe moment it is set to 30 seconds.  Could this be lowered to perhaps 15 or 20 seconds.  Keep up the good work.

Alt-hold in simple mode i would like to see a DEFINE for vs making that the default. While i use both modes the altitude management in alt-hold now is very whack.... meaning.. no precision over altitude when in alt-hold, i have to apply an awful lot of throttle to get alt to change and it normally changes allot.

yeah, same here. Altitude changes in alt_hold works but is rather coarse. Seems like lower 1/3 = going down fast, 1/3 to 2/3 throttle = hold altitude and 2/3 to full throttle is go up fast. Is it possible to get a more gradual control of target altitude ?

I'd sugest "position hold" alone (without alt hold). I used a lot before an it is usefull to isolate problems like alt-hold.

please add "simple look away from home" mode.

This would make sense to operate, and shouldn't be difficult to implement. The "from home" vector wouldn't have to be calculated very frequently.

I have an octa configuration. What will change with the octa setup in this revision? Thanks for the hard work!

Maybe optionally use ch6 to enable/disable alt hold in any of these modes-

-stabilize

-simple

-loiter
