Hello ZeXx86

Thank you very much for checking my data.

Unfortunately, I still don't understand your message correctly.
What should I take out where?
If I only fly with the Spirit without a geo link, I have installed a rescue switch.
When I fly with the Spirit and the Geo link, I have the rescue switch and a second (triple switch) for those in the Geo link
integrated rescue function (rescue 1 when reaching a certain height or rescue 2 when a fixed height is reached).
Which function should I remove there? Apart from bank 0, I don't fly with any other bank.
Best Regards

If you are not using bank switching then please unassign also Banks in the Channels window - General tab.
Because if you change channel value for banks by mistake then there can be very different settings that can cause another unexpected behavior.

Then unassign F: Stabi Function in the same window, because this is used only if Stabi - Function is programmed for Rescue, Stabilisation or Coaxial modes. But if there is Selected by Channel then it is wrong selection, because this option is used when F: Rescue or F: Stabilisation, ... is programmed directly in the Channels window.

If it is all combined together and you forgot for example enabled GeoLink function then by default it can engage these functions. And you can not expect it.
So there are presently programmed two things that can cause a potential crash in some switch conditions. So it is always better to not assign channels/functions that you dont want to use.

In other words there are three ways how you can engage any function and two of them were combined together.

There will be smart, if from user side, is not possible a double programming for one Function ( same )
Makes no sense at all, and may cause something like that :o

It cant be programmed for same function, but you can combine it together when you have only few channels. System is always doing what is programmed. Unfortunately if there is some misunderstanding and you do not check it on the bench then you can think it is doing something wrong.

Hello ZeXx86

Please check the data to see if the settings are correct without Geo Link but with the rescue
are set.

Thank you very much

Here I would like to show you the pictures of the destroyed Geo Link.
Not that you get the impression that I would invent something.
Best Regards

Hello ZeXx86
I repaired the heli and installed another Geo link and readjusted it.
Would like to ask you to check the file if everything is set correctly now.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

now it all looks goods.
Now there should be no strange or unexpected condition.
Now it only all depends on what GeoLink feature will be enabled.
It is only important to not forgot about any switch that is assigned and always return to condition where all functions are OFF.

Hello ZeXx86

Thank you very much for your patience and your great work. ( Top )

I have one more request though.
Now that I'm done with the settings for the first two helicopters,
could you take a look at the files again?
I keep setting up helis with the Spirit units of my club mates,
and use mine as test objects. Hence my request, just to know everything exactly in the future.

With many thanks
