Spirit System

10. Can we add a pitch pump effect? After playing around with the vbar again it is def a cool effect to have on things like tic tocs where short very quick collective movements are required. I love that the spirit has paddle sim for the cyclic, just wondering if we can add it on collective as well!

Futaba TX have a acceleration function. Exactly for this application. Can be used with any FBL.
Or use two free mixes like this :

It would be nice to have this function in spirit

new version of firmware for brain/ikon was released yesterday. It contains pitch pump setting. I hope we will get this soon in spirit

I was pretty unimpressed with the update. It added pitch pump and improved the gov a bit. Other than that, its nothing more than changing default settings.

Seems like it is playing catch up to the mini v-bar as it already had both of these and a much better gov than the ikons. I was expecting much more from the update based on all the hype that they put out about it.

Me too, anyway better than nothing. I have one brain unit, I will test new fw soon. I expected more, much more

More control over the cyclic while in self level mode would be nice

1. Gov function. This has been stated to be coming and I can't wait. I much prefer FBL govs over ESC Govs or throttle curves

2. A 4th bank. 3 banks is nice but a 4th would be great so I can dedicate one to fail safe and possibly have the Bank channel -100 to -50 for Bank 0, -50 to 0 for bank 1, 0 to 50 bank 2, 50 to 100 for bank 3

3. Upright only rescue mode with either 0 pitch or up to 5% pitch for failsafe setup. This can possibly reduce the rate that the heli will hit the ground and ensure it hits skids first to help prevent damage by letting the skids absorb some of the initial inpact. It can be done right now with self level mode, however, if the SL mode levels it out in the inverted state that may not be a good thing.

DONE!!! 4. BEC Tester. A mode in the setup that will move the servos from full negative to positive pitch very quickly to test if the BEC can handle the load placed on it during rescue. Many of the rescue failures are due to inadequate BEC's and having a dedicated tester in the setup page may help avoid this for some people.

5. Running log of all flights or even it if it only saves issues, allow it to continue to record if a problem is reported

6. Not sure if this is possible but is there a way to do a similar thing to trim flight where the unit can detect what the proper cyclic and tail gains are when activated?

7. In the "sensor" tab under the "rotation speed" I'd like to see degrees instead of this number range (5 - 16) which mean nothing and don't resemble anything like I've seen so far. Degrees are way much more helpful and I can use the same exact setting as on RealFlight and other simulators. Needless to say that degrees should always correspond to reality; there would be no need for a menu that when you choose for example 720 degrees, the model rotates at 1.9 or 2.1 rotations per second...

8. EVERY step you take during setup should be automatically saved. It's very annoying to have to do everything from scratch because you forgot to save in the end. Besides, this is true for every other gyro I've seen so far, so why not for spirit too?

9. Set level during setup, and then the spirit remembers this until set again. This would alleviate having to have the Heli level when powering up.[/quote]

DONE!!! 10. Can we add a pitch pump effect?

DONE!!! 11. More control over the cyclic while in self level mode would be nice.

12 Stabalisation upright only option
13 bank to atleast 80 degree while in sl

Could you define 12, I think what you ask for already exists, isn't it the last "function" available in "Stabi" tab?
I don't understand 13, please explain.
