Flight mode sound output and display always to stabilize

Hello Everyone,

i have implemented a rolling switch for the following flight modes in my RC.

Currently, i have the following modes set:

Stab
Alt-H
Loiter
Pos-H

My remote also generates just the right signals, but the APM shows me Stabilize, even the display says e.g. Loiter.

Anyone got an idea what is wrong here ?

I attach a picture to show the inconsistency between the settings and the actual flight mode set.

Even the PWM is in the right range and this mode is set to Loiter (1361-1490: actual value 1431), the current mode actually says stabilize everywhere, even i would expect Loiter.

Is this a software bug ?

Cheers

Florian

PS: I have of course pressed save modes before, the picture is a bit misleading. The problem shows up even save modes has been pressed before.

Hello ! Does not anybody know what this could be ?

If the other flight modes do not work, i think this could be a quite important software bug.

Has anyone experienced the same, not to be able to change modes outside stabilize or alt-h ?

Cheers

When you don't have Gps lock, the pos hold and loitering would stay at stabilization mode.

Ok - this could explain it !

I will try this as soon as possible (e.g. tomorrow evening).

Ok - i can confirm once the APM has GPS lock and it potentially hovering, it is possible to switch flight modes. - Unfortunately, i have now the next issue with the Position hold always tilting to one side.. - http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/position-hold-mode-moving-aircraf...

Slowly, i am working my way through the APM..
