This is a tiny problem that I've noticed since a while, but it's a pity and a little annoying, so I thought I'd report it (haven't seen anyone else report it)
With arducopter 2.0.48 (and before) and mission planner 82 (and before) only modes 'stabilise' alt_hold' and 'RTL' are reported correctly in the virtual horizon window. Auto, loiter and circle, are all reported as 'RTL'.
Also it would be nice if the simple option could be displayed (and spoken). This option is possible with all modes and can either be set on the fly with chan7 or through CLI "hardcoding".
So Michael, if you have some time to spare ;-)
Thanks for the tremendous effort you've done on this mission planner. I can only hope my error report can help make it even better.
