"Yes, loading is slower too. But...today I decided to try again using just the 32-bit version. So I reloaded 1.1.13 and it was fine, then updated to 1.2.14 and that was fine too. Great! Then I tried 1.2.14/64-bit and that works fine! Thanks MichaelO!"

"There seems to be some fundamental graphics changes in .13 that really slow things up and is screwing up display, especially on smaller screens. I have noticed the program is no longer snappy to load but takes quite a while. I have it running fine…"

"That could be it. I have MP on two entirely different computers re S/W and OS. Both are using 1.2.12 now and everything works fine (AFAIK, previous caveat). I guess my real question was "what's wrong with 1.2.12?". It does what I need…"

"Agreed.  Seems different people are seeing different results.  I only had to reset once and things were good from then on.  Just for a test today, I installed MP on my desktop with a large screen, 2560x1600.  I didn't have…"

"Please: this can't be acceptable when you have to continually re-connect, then reset. Also the default background for .12 is black, but with .13 I get white text on a very light gray bg = not readable outdoors and difficult enough indoors. IDK…"

Changes from Mission planner 1.2.12 to 1.2.13 - flight data not showing up with arducopter 2.7.1

I've been running Arducopter 2.7.1 on my apm 1.4, and been able to fly my quadcopter (getting better at take off and landing and so on, with only a relatively small amount of crashes).Yesterday I opened Mission Planner, it upgraded to 1.2.13 and now the flight data tab just shows a gray field. So I am wondering if I need to upgrade to arducopter 2.7.3 or whether there is something else I can do.Also, if I upgrade to 2.7.3 - do I have to recalibrate the ESCs again?ThanksRoelofSee More

"Vernon Good to hear this - so it must be something I did (which is not surprising), and gives me some more direction to pursue. Do you use the latest Mission Planner (1.2.2) for this? Thanks "

"Thanks for the tip. I tried this, same issue - somehow the latest versions of the mission planner do not work with the APM 1.4 board for me (which is really frustrating). The reason that I use the terminal is to confirm that I can actually upload…"

"that's correct. but make sure that ur turnigy 9X has 3 postion mode switch assigned to channel 8. because CH8-IN is used for mode setup in aruplane and CH5-IN in arducopter software.."
