Hi Folks,

I checked Geolink this weekend and it is defintely not working for me:

In the Software if I switch Altitude Limit or Return to Home on I see in the Geolink tab that each mode activates.

I changed nothing from Spirit II.

In flight neither return to home nor altitude limit is working. Just no reaction.

Anyone a hint what I can change?

Thx

Alex

Hello.
Are you using Bank Switching?

If yes, have you copied also other banks?

Hello Tomas,

no I am not using Bank switching. It is greyed out.

I did not change anything to my setup with Spirit II.

There is also no "record" in the Geolink log.

If I connect the PC Geolink is shown working. I also checked cable connection to Geolink unit > no problem.

Light on the Geolink was solid blue before start.

Hello Tomas,

had time today on the flying field and (hopefully) could sove the problem for me:

I saw, that Geo Link went "OFF LINE" after start (log file).

So i completly disconnected Geolink sat from Spirit, cleaned the contacts and re-connected > needs a bit of a "push".

Now Geolink works (4 flights) w/o ANY problem :-).

Thanks again.

We found that in some circumstances GeoLink can stop communicating with Spirit GT if connection is not perfect.
We already found how to fix the issue and we are testing it. If the issue affected you then we are very sorry. New firmware will be released within following days.
