Is it possible to have an aircraft maintain alt and heading while keeping a constant bank angle? i.e. roll to 45 degrees and maintain direction and alt? Any suggestions on which mode and settings to use would be appreciated.

Hi, running AC 3.2.1 on pixhawk. Camera is taking pictures via digicam controls, but no cam messages in the tlog. Do I need to download the dataflash logs, or is their some way to enable recording of the cam messages in the tlog?Thanks!

Hi. My company needs some relatively simple fixes to Mission Planner. We are willing to pay cash, and these changes can be contributed back to the main distribution. Seems like a win-win to me. Anyone interested?Please send me a PM.Thanks!

Gabriel DeVault replied to Gabriel DeVault's discussion Any way to ID which apm or pixhawk is present in a tlog?
"excellent, thanks!"

Just wondering if there is a unique identifier within a tlog that correlates back to a specific flight controller. I have several copters running pixhawk and sometimes can't remember which tlog goes with which copter.
