3GX 2.1 update just released

[AlastairC]

Looks like 2.1 update just released. Who's brave enough to go first?

With the confidence I have in 3gx might as well. Looks like a lot of "stability improvements" Maybe that is their way of saying "removes backwards drift problems"
I might leave as is and see if the motor bearings fix the problem first. then upgrade.

I am interested in trying the 3GX. Never used it. How does it compare to vbar?

Simple answer, it doesn't...

[helimadness]

I was being sarcastic when I said I had confidence in 3gx. Not that I know but from what I read Vbar is the best.
Looks like a fairly minor upgrade unlike V2.0. I just tried to download and the V2.1 link downloads V2.0???

I would try it!

Only if I had a USB for mine!

[AlastairC]

Seems the link is not working now. It only lasted a few hours before getting pulled... glad I have not put it on ;-)

Did anyone download it before they took it off?

If you browse to:
Index of /3g_update

you will see it is still listed but they added xx to the front of it. The installer part for the .NET framework entered a bit of a loop when I tried to install. Have it working now but not going to try to put it on the heli yet!

cheers mate. Nice to know they have the web permissions nice and tight as well Its the last ditch attempt for me on the 3gx. Its 2.1 or something else. Anyone brave enough out there to have updated yet?

[kroozing]

I would be interested to see how people get on with the update and see if there are any improvments.

Hi

Align are having some server problems we are told it should be fixed in a hour or so.
I will be trying it on my 500 Pro as soon as I can, not that the weathers going to let me for a few days by the look of it.

Cheers

Does not appear to be sever probs as they renamed the file

I installed on my PC and had a quick run through the setup procedure on the PC and it looks fairly similar to 2.0. I would think only a minor tweak. I have made some changes to my heli so want to test them in the current version but will look at updating over the weekend. Fridays a holiday here so should hopefully get some good air time in.

Did you have some strange behaviour when the .NET framework was being installed? as it tried to install it multiple times on mine.

Agree it seems to look the same within the application.

Will be interesting to do a binary compare on the files when the xx's disappear from the filename!
