'Autoland' not showing as mode label in OSD

Could 4.7’s output from FC to FPV air unit’s OSD include a mode name label for ‘autoland’ mode (as it does for take off, fbwa, auto, autotune, etc)? On my Pixhawk 6C with 4.7 stable the OSD mode label doesn’t change from previous mode eg auto, autotune, fbqa etc when I switch to autoland. Thanks for adding autoland to new version BTW I am enjoying tinkering with it immensely!

What OSD are you using and how it it connected?

I would have expected you would see “ALND”:

I have not seen ALND - it displays mode prior to switch to Autoland.

I use an Edge T3 digital air and ground units connected to Pixhawk 6C on Telem 3 port

docs.holybro.com/autopilot/pixhawk-6c/pixhawk-6c-ports

Video , data and other mode labels seem to display OK…

see screenrecording from ground unit here:

Looks like it uses MAVLink protocol to get OSD information. In that case the OSD Manufacturer would have to add support for the new mode name, or the MAVLink available modes protocol. In this case the OSD is getting the all telemetry and then it decides what to and how to display.

It might also work if you swap to AP’s MSP/Display port OSD setup in which case it would use the ArdiPilot OSD settings and should get the name right. In this case the OSD is used like a display, we send it characters and locations to draw on the screen so it does not have to know any specific information.

Many thanks I’ll give the second option a try as the Edge T3 FPV system is no longer on the market!
