Where has 3gx V4.1 gone?

Why do you need that? I don't think it's any different. Just the firmware is!

So how do you tweak your settings without it?

When you install the 3gx update package on pc it includes both the software that runs on your PC and the firmware bundle ready to install onto 3gx, if these versions are not the same then surely you are asking for compatibility problems although the software looks the same, are you sure it is the same?
Align always advise to uninstall previous version of 3gx on your PC before updating which is what i've always done, so common sense tells me running an older version of 3gx software V4.0 with updated firmware V4.1 is not a good idea but i may be totally wrong.
Just strange it's no longer available.

Just use the v5 software. It is the same as far as I can see. Only change is the firmware

Lol - I am sure your not mad. However check out here, heli freaks and run Ryder all three of which cover about 90% of the heli population and try and find a full on 4.1 thread - my heli blew up, tipped over when I plugged it in, gain so high the planet turned type threads. None, nada , nothing it was never an official release.

I'm starting to think you're right as i have searched everywhere to prove i'm not loosing the plot and came up with nothing? maybe it was just version 4.0 although why did my 3gx revert back to firmware V4.1 if it never existed? Surely it would have only given me an option to go back to V4.0?

It's definately out there, lots of people mention it. Maybe align did a quiet pre-release test to a few downloaders?

You may well be right i'm just being extra cautious after my recent issues with the 3gx, i would still rather use the correct version software for the correct firmware although there may be no issues using V5.0 software with V4.1 firmware i'd still rather use the right version if i can download and install it from somewhere.

i'm starting to think that was the case and they pre released it for a short while when i downloaded it then removed it from their site when V5.0 was released because it's definitely not there now!
It is possible that i am going mad tho

Coolice will know whats going on here - Ian? Help!

[Slobberdog]

As far as I'm aware v4.1 was not released and appeared when v5 was released, I did not see it on the Align website

Here is a screen pic from my 3gx, you can clearly see that i am running Firmware Version 4.1 NOT 4.0, so i did install it at some point but no idea when or where from now

You can also see that the PC software version i am running is V5.0, so i do hope i won't develop more issues from using different versions of Software and Firmware but i have no choice as i can't find V4.1 anywhere. It's like it never existed, but it does!

Just redone all my settings again using this setup, so fingers crossed it will fly ok now like it did before i updated to V5.0

Thanks for the input guys, but if anyone does happen to find a copy of 3gx V4.1 on their PC's, i would love a copy

[james_2k]

i wouldnt worry at all, im sure it will be fine

[Red3]

v4.1 was out there but was not official as far as I can remember v4.1 came out as there was some tipping problems with v4. I thought I had a copy of it but haven't I think ian (coolice ) has one.

hope this helps

Where has 3gx V4.1 gone?

V4.0 had tipping problems not V4.1 which is why I didn't want to go back to 4.0.
Finally got a chance to test it back on V4.1 today and all is good, no drifting no weird tail issues no high gain issues (pots back at 10 O Clock) all as it was before V5.0 confirming to me that V5.0 does indeed have some issues with gains and drifting with my particular setup anyway.
At least I can enjoy flying again now

Glad it's all back to normal again Rob.
