Hello Fellows,

i have run into a strange problem. when arducopter is installed i can switch between all flight modes,

now i have installed ArduPlane on the same board, yet it refuses to go in any other flight mode.

I can see the green bar moving and i can select diffrerent modes. Upon Checking at the top it stays always on the same mode! ?

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

Thanks so much

kind regards

joel

  This issues was it not showing the updated values highlighted in green. The flight modes where set correctly however for plane/rover on CH8.
  
  I fixed the code in AP2 so it will obey FLTMODE_CH setting for plane and rover. For copter it defaults to 5 as it is not configurable to any other channel. The fix will be in APM Planner 2.0.16-rc1 beta release.
  
  Thx for reporting the issue

  The parameter FLTMODE_CH can be changed to any desired channel. Strangely enough, in Arduplane this is set to CH 8 by default but can be changed to CH 5 in order to match with APM Planner. That's what I just did and it works fine.
