The awaited V2 for the VX1 is now on the Spartan site for download

[WildWake]

Thanks for post,
What's new? (being lazy)...

[dw45]

* Added automatic Pitching Up Compensation for high speed flight. New parameter in Rotor menu controls the magnitude of compensation.
* Improved tail acceleration/deceleration/reversal algorithm. The default values for tail acceleration and deceleration have also been updated to match the algorithm.
* Improved cyclic acceleration/deceleration algorithm. The default value for Rotor Acceleration, Deceleration have also been updated to match the algorithm.
* Improved tail stops (also see notes about trim flight). The default values for the tail stop gains have also been updated.
* Trim flight also gathers data about tail hover torque to equalise stop behavior. It is moved to system menu as its function now spans across both main rotor and tail.
* Throttle output (SV5) does not get activated until the radio has linked. This allows ESCs to enter program/calibration mode when stick is high.
* Failsafe now requires a longer duration of signal loss before it activates.
* Added new receiver type "UDI". The receiver option auto-detects various protocols including the upcoming JR XBUS.
* Added 135 degree swashplate and improved the 140 degree.* New V2 main rotor algorithm provides excellent out of the box performance.

WoooHoooo!!!

Ive been waiting for this before I buy a Vortex!! Nothing stopping me now LOL

Just reset up my Rave with the V2 code installed as it's a full setup jobbie as it's gone from M3 to M4 protocol

For some reason I've had to bugger around with the servo horns as the Vortex has now decided that they're not centred correctly, even though they were fine on V1 code

Nothing changed between the M3 and M4 in respect to servo centering. Perhaps your servo pots worn out a bit since the last time you did setup?

Any gotchas / things I need to know to upgrade mine from M2 ?

You need to do a full setup again because it's gone from M3 to M4 protocol, but that's mentioned on the download site anyway. I've had to tweak the ail & ele debounce and cyclic gain, but other than that nothing else.

V2 flies so much better than V1 in my opinion and it's sorted the tail bounce problems I had with V1 so I'm happy with it.

I've been using it since the MK flyin and it pretty much transformed my g4 to almost plug and play. The tail was spot on once I'd done the trim flight to. Just need to do an update from beta edition to full release now.

Quite! I already like the way my Goblin flies. Looking forward to seeing the difference this makes.

About to start updating my vortexes to V2. Out of interest, do you need to redo the setup from scratch in the transmitter?

i.e. wipe the model and start over?

Or do things like the flight mode switching remain?

Thanks

[KevDavies]

transmitter settings stay the same. You just redo the swash and tail setup on the datapod.

[Jez N]

Ah amazing thx Kev. Was dreading doing it but now it should be nice and quick.

And governor (even if you're not using it). Mine lost the "analogue" tail servo setting (required for brushless ESCs).
