So Rx is good woot. as for the r dial... maybe after the new transmitter excitement wears off i will send it it to get fixed.

I was pretty sure that was what the problem was. I posted the same solution to this when you posted on RCU.

You know the old saw about what you get when you assume, right?...

Given that the feature set of the DX18 is greatly enhanced over the DX8, the DX8 is technically hobbled in comparison to the DX18. This is not a bad thing when the DX8 costs half of the DX18.

You have to manually add points 6 & 7. Move the throttle stick in an area between the other points and at the bottom of the screen you will see it show "add point". Scroll down to the bottom over "add point" and click it. If you want the points spaced evenly across the whole range you will first need to remove the points at 25% and 75% using the same method listed above then add them back where you want.

Yep, an expensive Tx with "Tiny Text"!

The DX18 is "Visually Hobbled".

Not in most peoples opinion..;..

You are an excellent case study that proves that you cannot please all the people all the time...or even some of the time...

(Graph only changes when selecting Curve 0 or 1 parameter.) Although the NAME on the Graph changes (ie. Pos0 / Pos1) with the switch but shows the wrong graph...

Other DX18 setup functions with Graphs (ie. D/R & Expo) show the correct name associated with the Graph...

What's up with this ??

You can "disconnect" and "reconnect" them by using the Curve option.

If you exit the screen, they are connected by default and the switch works to select the graph as you expect. Once you change the curve manually, they become disconnected (independent).

The label in the top always shows the current switch position.

I havent had a chance to jold one yet. I respond well to tactile objects. Hopefully this will get a tick.

Maybe one for the future.... I love my FPV... It would be great to have any switch change or slider change flash on the goggles for a couple of seconds, like the volume prompt or channel name hates flashed on a television screen.

Andy..

Didn't quite understand your reply about the Connect / Disconnect thing on the Throttle Curve Graph...

Other Setup Screens change the Graph when you toggle a switch - The Throttle Curve doesn't.. More importantly, the label changes on the Graph when you toggle, showing the Wrong curve...

I'm sure others have noticed this - or Not?

Can you try to explain it again...
Am I missing something here?

Thanks..

I have removed this post at the request of RC Groups.

The throttle curve is handled differently than the other curves. The behavior you have is exactly what the spec says it should be for the throttle curve and the different behavior on others is what the spec says they should be.

The current position of the switch is in the top left corner. It shows in text what the switch is set to. It's not always easy to see the position marker below the checkboxes especially if you use Flight Mode as the switch. This is the not title of the graph you're looking at, it's the name of the switch position.

Throttle curves are specifically disconnected from the switch position so that you can select a curve w/o causing a change to the throttle servo.

The other curves default to being connected so that you can see the change immediately on the aircraft.

Hey Andy..

A little bit confusing - as I would think that the UI should reflect the switch setting..

Thanks for explaining this again.
( I'll try to get my head around it

Thanks for the quick reply...
