3gx v4.0

3gx v4.0

I'm only referring to the ESC/BEC resetting to default settings after the V4 update and I only needed to redo the settings once, what you are describing sounds like the 3GX resetting itself on its own?
I always lay the 450 flat before connecting the power and wait for initialisation before touching or moving the Heli, I never connect it up while holding it?

I've got same problem with my 450 esc/3gx resetting, but in flight no problem so on 6 flight i connected heli & sat it down esc done its bleeps & fine done same again on 7th all good then i reconnected the battery whilst holding heli & it done a reset after a few secons, I think what you have to do is once you've connected heli you must set it down to complete 3gx/esc to set.

Update:
Now test flown 450 Pro on 3GX V4.0 and initial impressions are excellent.
Heli feels very different in the air, more locked in and steady especially when using hard changes in collective, overall very happy with the upgrade.
Apart from the weird issue of the ESC/BEC resetting to default settings which I don't really understand and the strange changes in the gain values through the software, all seems fine.
I didn't have any power issues or notice any strange tilting behaviour, actually it felt better than any previous upgrade I've tried on 3GX so a definite improvement IMO.
I don't fly hard 3D yet but even with my basic skills it felt much better to me, so I think anyone with better skills than me and fly their Heli's a bit harder would notice a dramatic improvement to the firmware

Unlike when V3.0 was released, this version appears to have been tested better before release, so congratulations to Coolice and all the guys involved in the beta testing of this nice upgrade.

Evening buddy.

You're very welcome, can't say I had much in this release but gave feedback that will hopefully improve the next version.

With the ESC resetting, could it be that as the 3GX calls for a full throttle setting in it's setup routine that the ESC is then being put into program mode at the same time and accepting settings changes according to throttle position?

Just a thought perhaps.

Evening,
It could well be exactly that
I couldn't get how a 3gx upgrade could reset the ESC but I forgot about the throttle re-calibration I did, so may well have something to do with it.

Cheers Ian.

Hey Buddy.

I've seen it recently with the Vbar, setting the Castel Creations throttle range puts this FBO unit into auto trim mode as it needs to be turned on with full throttle.
