GPS rescue related fixes from BetaFlight 3.5.0 development
I made some customisation in the code, and for better debug also changed the flight mode name to display each phase of the rescue mode, so I can look at OSD what is the current working phase and check heading and altitude and picture.
It helps a lot for understanding and tuning it.
On the lower right above coordinates is the flight mode.
During manual or when I quickly turn off GPS rescue to not let it “land’ by itself you can see AIR text.
Instead of RESC you will se the following flight mode short names:
The visual beeper blinks the calculater altitudes for AA (attaining altitude phase) and CT (crosstrack) phases.
Here comes original BF readme:
Betaflight is flight controller software (firmware) used to fly multi-rotor craft and fixed wing craft.
This fork differs from Baseflight and Cleanflight in that it focuses on flight performance, leading-edge feature additions, and wide target support.
