There is one potentially serious bug that I’ve highlighted above and while it is exceptionally rare we’re keen to get this beta out as soon as we’re sure it’s safe so all beta testing is greatly appreciated.
To provide some more info on the bug
- if a lua script failed in flight (e.g. produced an error) it could actually cause the main CPU to hardfault and the vehicle would crash. This doesn’t happen every time the lua script fails though, just in rare cases with unlucky timing
Thanks in advance for testing!
