  • 3GX V 3.1 Upgrade Out?

    There is definitely a V3 3.1 update posted today: 3GX_V3.1_20130403.rar Index of /3g_update
    but for some reason it's not on the main page yet...?

    Any news on this and should i install it yet?

    I would wait for others to test it first.
    3.0 is excellent anyway.

      Sensible advice but i didn't wait with V3.0 as i was on it on day 1
      I'm a sucker for the Latest Updates, although some are still using Versions 1 & 2, i'm particularly after info regarding the bluetooth add on and software in 3.1 for it if any?

        Looking at it, the fact that the filename has a date in it, rather than the normal simple nomenclature makes me wonder if this is an alpha or beta pre-release code. I'd wait until the main Align page has a download link.

          You're probably right Tom, i know i shouldn't really especially as i haven't even nailed my 3.0 settings yet.
          I bet some would find the code interesting though as a heads up.

              Oooohhh.... Who's going to be brave enough to try it first?

              My 550 is still in peices since my crash last week, parts hopefully arriving today but not keen to update immediately after rebuild!

                  My 500 is still on v2.1! I've got 3.0 on my 450, but as I'm trying to sell that, not really fussed about going through the hassle of upgrading it.

                  ... if it ain't broke ....

                    Our westerly friends have had a go at it, and it seems the tip-over tendencies are fixed. (do you say is or are, my Queen's English has room for improvements.... Sorry :/)

                      After last Saturday's crash which I can't explain except for a 3gx brain fart, I won't be upgrading anything, decided to jump ship to a mini vbar, might sell the 3gx unit, but in no hurry as I haven't yet ordered the £250 worth of replacement bits (+ the vbar). I have no trust in the 3gx now, shame, but.....

                            Reading between the lines. Align have 'fixed' the over corrections the 3.0 put into the 3GX unit.
                            I flashed the new software onto the 3GX, wound the gains back upto 12 o'clock. I'm expecting to have to make some changes to gain on the tail also-but will have to wait for some decent weather (the weekend?)
                            I recently fitted the new thrust raced tail grip/hub to my 450EFL & have a little wag on the tail now (with current setup) I'm hoping the new software will give me a wider window of adjustment on the tail gain.
                            I will need to get the new tail slider to get rid of that annoying little bit of slop I have on the old one, as theres a good chance I'm getting some of this tail 'flutter' from slop in old slider.
                            Anyway guys-wish me luck. On my last software upgrade to 3.0 my 1st flight ended up with a £80 repair bill, so the next test flight will be a bit of a clencher.

                              If you find your pc 3gx software keeps crashing delete it from your pc, Align have update the software but as yet not mentioned it.
                              Today's outlook is fine for flying.
