Extended tuning parameters to zero after firmware update arducopter 3.6rc6

ernstthijsen · July 20, 2018, 7:23am

Wanted to test the 3.6RC6 firmware on the Cube. After writing firmware, the extended tuning parameters are set to a non editable zero value on:

Throttle Accel
Throttle Rate
Altitude Hold
Position XY
Velocity XY.
Is this meant to be like this?

I’ve created this issue so hopefully @meee1 (or someone else) can update the MP’s extended tuning screen.

I’ve tried to fly with the 3.6 firmware, just for a few seconds and crashed the octocopter. It was absolutely fine on the previous version.
Cannot figure out if this is due to the firmware upgrade or not.
