Bad AHRS, Bad Accel Health, Bad Gyro Health

I recently started getting numerous "Bad ___ Health" warnings. When I roll back the FW to 3.1.1, they stop. Does anyone know what's up?

Serious Problem in the current beta MP

I was having many problems with 3.1.11 MP release. So, rather stupidly, I updated to the latest beta. Most of my prior issues were gone, good.

Restart Mission

I thought I understood "re-start mission" function but maybe not.

For example, if one is in the middle of a mission and switches to FBWA to do some cloud surfing and then hits the Re-start Mission, what is the expected action?

Second, does the vehicle

rssi calibration

Hello,

Is there a way to calibrate rssi or "it is what it is" the answer. I would like to have the read out in percent % using calibration to roughly get 0-100%. I have a Thomas LRS and the rssi range is not so great, .5-3.5V. I believe the ADC on the

Cum mAh in HUD

Hi,

I know this feature request has been asked many times, Cumulative mAh.

I use two size batteries, a 2200 mAh and a 2650mAh. Fortunately, I can still remember what battery I put in the plane. :-) So, the Cum mAh would allow me to just keep track of t
