New firmware rtos_pilot v0.8BETA3

Hi,

I just noticed there was a BETA3 fimware and GCS software.

Does anyone know if there are any major changes in either firmware or GCS?

I noticed the PC doesn't hang when closing the GCS so that's one improvement! :D

I just added another setup to my GP fleet - back again from 2010 - the Super Impress. First flight was successful!

Cheers,

Bjorn

The Beta's are mainly bug fixes compared to the first beta. A lot of features were added during bad weather without a lot of testing.

Most important new features (compared the v0.7.2):
* No more IMU lock during flight. Upside down, loops, ... no problem (this will be in beta4 or 0.8 production)
* Alarm: for example "battery alarm" when the battery is low: auto land on low voltage!
* Circle To command: to fly circuits
* Better GPS handling
* Navigation scripts work without GPS now (better for testing)
* Easy simulation from the GCS
* Translation: GluonCS auf deutsch
* Functions in the script using the Return command
* ...
