Release History

v1.4.2 - 09/28/2018

• New radar view shows model in relationship to home position, can be displayed either as launch/pilot-based or compass-based orientation
• Added German language voice files, modes and config menu (thanks @Peschi90). Other language submissions encouraged!
• New feature gives feedback when altitude hold is activated and throttle position is in neutral hover position (vibrate when entering neutral hover position and beep when exiting)
• Cycle through views by short-pressing Enter
• Config menu now works with X9E transmitter
• Resolve battery warnings when no current sensor is present
• Refactored to speed up script (uses a bit more memory as a result however)
• Created build script for Companion (should keep all files in sync)

v1.4.1 - 08/25/2018

• Min/max values after flight added to pilot view
• For speed reasons, background and widget scripts moved back to core script, something in OpenTX 2.2.2 caused a great slow-down when loading scripts

v1.4.0 - 08/21/2018

• Pilot view (glass cockpit) which includes attitude indicator as well as pilot-familiar layout of additional data
• Shows GPS fix accuracy (HDOP) as strength indicator graph or decimal value (required INAV 2.0.0)
• You can customize when weak GPS fix accuracy (HDOP) triggers alert
• Allows speed sensor selection between GPS speed or pitot sensor's air speed (if available)
• GPS coordinates and altitude are displayed before launch even if there's no GPS fix
• Fuel can report mAh or mWh used instead of percent fuel remaining (percent highly suggested for fuel level alerts)
• The setup, config menu and views loads as separate scripts, greatly reducing memory used
• Variometer graph now correctly uses vertical speed as source instead of Z-axis accelerometer
• Config option under Variometer to also report altitude as voice notifications
• X9D display now uses gray when appropriate to enhance view clarity
• Disable config setting (and set to default) if sensor isn't present
• Config menu wraps from top to bottom (and vice versa) to more easily locate desired config option, also remembers last menu option
• Config menu supports button hold-repeat on X9D and X9D+ to make changes easier
• Config menu fuel percentage warning and critical changed to 1% steps to increase flexibility
• Only shows the last good GPS coordinates instead of the last 5 to reduce complexity (didn't provide more useful info either)
• Removed getLastPos() function dependency which is faster, cleans up code and could allow Horus support
• Fixed an issue with "NO TELEM" and "THR WARN" being displayed incorrectly
• Cleaned up readme, broke up into Wiki pages

v1.3.1 - 05/29/2018

• Support added for the X-Lite transmitter (requires OpenTX v2.2.2)
• Option to set the low and critical warning level for fuel percentage remaining
• Option to display the transmitter voltage as a graph and/or the numerical value
• Modified how battery cell count is calculated
• Can now set cell critical voltage to as low as 2.6v to support 18650 batteries
• Slightly adjusted display positioning to show greater GPS accuracy on QX7 and X-Lite transmitters

v1.3.0 - 05/13/2018

• Compatibility with new F.Port protocol (requires INAV v1.9.1+)
• Support added for D-series receivers with telemetry (requires INAV v2.0+)
• Option to show GPS coordinates as degrees and minutes or in geocoding format instead of the previous decimal only
• Shows THR WARN if not okay to fly and throttle isn't at minimum position
• If distance sensor name is the default 0420, the max distance now displays correctly
• Updated data digits to display before truncating unit of measure

v1.2.5 - 04/28/2018

• Uses GPS for launch-based altitude if barometer isn't present
• No longer requires 0420 sensor to be renamed Dist
• Better error handling, specially if iNav folder doesn't exist
• Renamed PASSTHRU mode MANUAL and add audio file for manual mode
• Correct altitude unit designation in configuration when barometer isn't present
• Adjustment to data display for min/max indicator

v1.2.4 - 04/17/2018

• Satellite and altitude hold are now icons
• Added flashing notification for headfree mode on QX7 (already existed on X9D)
• Smarter unit designation resulting in a cleaner display (ft = ', MPH & km/h)

v1.2.3 - 12/19/2017

• Logs the last 5 unique GPS coordinates
• Updated readme screenshots to show variometer
• Release history is now here instead of in readme file

v1.2.2 - 12/09/2017

• Last 5 GPS coordinates can be reviewed from the config menu
• Resolved issue where if telemetry was lost/recovered it would incorrectly give voice alerts for flight modes/engines armed/disarmed
• Config menu can be accessed at any time, even when armed

v1.2.1 - 12/01/2017

• Lots of new/changed config settings (press Menu button to access) - Please review!
• Enhanced and cleaned up config menu, centered menu on QX7 & X9D/+
• Variometer shows if model is gaining or decreasing altitude
• Cell voltage battery view shows with two digits of precision
• Added S (South) to X9D/+ directional display

v1.2.0 - 11/18/2017

• Lua Telemetry is now pre-compiled to greatly reduce memory (source still available)
• Press Menu button (when not armed) to modify user configuration options
• Fixed FAILSAFE, RTH, NOT OK & NO TELEM modes to flash as they should
• Barometer and magnetometer are now optional (but suggested for full functionality)
• Headfree indication on QX7 changed to show directional indicators as dotted lines
• Startup message/version and error if not running OpenTX v2.2.0 or later

v1.1.7 - 11/02/2017

• Fix for the default unit type of the Dist (0420) sensor

v1.1.6 - 11/01/2017

• On home reset, reset GPS home position, orientation and distance
• Option to display average battery cell voltage instead of total voltage
• Extra digit for data on X9D & X9D+ transmitters
• Variable cleanup saving memory

v1.1.5 - 10/20/2017

• Voice notification for Home Reset with INAV v1.8+
• Moved head free warning on QX7 to top center
• Values convert from decimal to integer when larger to allow for more room
• Better text centering and right justification technique
• Cleaned up code saving more memory

v1.1.4 - 10/13/2017

• More accurate max altitude alerts and altitude flashes when above max altitude
• Long-press resets values (suggest doing this between flights before armed)

v1.1.3 - 10/10/2017

• Shows metric or imperial values based on transmitter telemetry settings
