ArduPlane 2.74beta3 released

Posted by Andrew Tridgell on July 10, 2013 at 4:30pm

I've just released ArduPlane 2.74beta3. I'm hoping this will be the last beta before the 2.74 release. Please test it as much as you can!
The simplest way to try it is to use a pre-built firmware from http://firmware.diydrones.com.

Key features include:

There are many more smaller changes as well. I'll post a full list of changes in the announcement for the final 2.74 release.

Note that it may take an hour for the autobuilder to build all the firmwares for the new beta release. Check the git-version.txt in each directory to ensure it is 2.74beta3.

Many thanks to all the contributors to this release!

Cheers, Tridge

    All of the reports I've had have been positive, and I've done a bunch of test flights myself over the last 3 days, so I have now released APM:Plane 2.74.

    Enjoy!

    I've now released 2.74beta4, with two key new features:

    • much improved ACRO mode, with better roll control for smoother loops
    • a new CRUISE mode which should be great for FPV flyers

    Feedback welcome!

    Cheers, Tridge
