Hi,
Yesterday, I tried out my Arduccopter for the first time in a few months.
The newest software (2.6) was on the APM1.
I was getting delighted to see that all the occasional motor starts had gone that used to happen when "connecting" MAVLink etc. Befo

After I upgraded the missionplanner I can't see any advanced params. I've got .Net 4.5 installed and it has worked before with version 1.1.94 for example.
I am interested in the MinimOSD but I am using Arducopter 2.6 which upgraded MavLink from 0.9 to 1.0.
Since the Minim OSD uses MavLink I would like to know if it is compatible with an ArduPilot Mega 2 and Arducopter 2.6 software.
Thank you for your ass
