DataPod app update

[Angelos]

A small update is now available for the DataPod. No changes are made to the Vortex VX1 flight computer and sensor so these don't need to be updated. Your settings will not be lost.

Cheers,
Angelos

Severity: Update optional. Recommended to new users.
DataPod: 1v21
Flight Computer: No change
Sensor: No change

* Fixed typo and capitalisation is some menus.
* Added F3C (hover) and "3 Blade" pre-sets to the Wizards.
* "Flybar Ratio" renamed to "Gain".
* All non essential parameters are now hidden from the default menu to de-clutter it
and make it less intimidating.
* Two methods are now provided to access expert parameters:
1) Set "System::Menu Type" to Full. This option is memorised and the full menu will
always be displayed. Best suited to expert users that want access to the full
menu all the time.
2) A new Quick Expert mechanism is introduced in this update. When you reach the end
of the default Rotor, Tail or Gov menu press and hold the [+] button for 2 sec.
The remaining Expert menu will now open. Access to the Expert part is temporary
until selecting Next to skip to the next menu.

This is a new indicator in the scroll bar. It shows that the end of the default menu has been reached but more (Expert) options are available below. Pressing the [+] button for 2 seconds will temporarily enable the remaining part of the menu.

Great all updated. What would be great is if you collate your customers email then bulk email any updates or relevant info. Could easily miss this and don't check updates on your site daily.

You have subscribe to receive such updates when you register your Vortex. However, I haven't sent an email on this occasion but will do when I sort out the process in the near future.

On a related note, I've made a little video to show how the new feature for accessing the Expert parameters works.

Cheers,
