Steve, how do I get the Typhoon H model on the simulator? I have the H and thus the ST16+ but there is no Typhoon H model! I also checked the Simulator for updates and it says that it is all up to date! So what do I do?
Thanks

Uninstall your current version. Then download and install the one on the web site.
I did the update on 4/28 but I had very few flights after that. Since I rarely use yaw while descending, Channel 0 values never got low enough to shut the motors down. In addition only a yaw to the right decreased the value in Ch0. Yaw to the left increased it. So the worst case is yaw to the right while descending. That is all it took to shut the motors down.
Below is a screen shot of the file in post #5 of this thread on page 1. These are the values of Ch0 (throttle) and only the landing portion of each flight. The value of Ch0 should never fall below 662 until B1 is pressed. B1 sets Ch0 to zero which is motor shut down. I believe the threshold for motor shutdown is actually around 180.
The flights on the right side are prior to the firmware update. The flights on the left side are after the update. The far left flight was the last flight which had a much longer descent with yaw to the right. That is the flight that destroyed the aircraft.
The ST16 will still have the logs from that flight. If you can get them I would be happy to review them. I would need the telemetry file and the remote file with the same number for the date of the flight.
If you press the Channel settings button you will see the screen shown at the first page of this thread. If Channel settings is grayed out you need to go to System Settings, select Other and turn on Advanced setting.
Good that you caught it and did the reset. Saved yourself a lot of grief by catching it before a crash.
No, and I don't expect any. They were absolutely convinced I pressed the kill button. Since there have been some other confirmations of the same problem perhaps they will take another look. If they do we will never know about it.
Got it! Thanks Steve.
I tried duplicating your issue but I only have the 2 correct highlighted switches in the Channel screen and I cannot get the H to fall in sim or reality.
I wish you luck!
That is a good thing. It's not a problem you want to find. It's also good to find you don't have the problem.
The Kill button is in a very safe place....not to mention you have to push it for several seconds...I could see them trying to pull that on a new pilot but that's just B.S. Man if there is anything we can do to help open their eyes just let me(us) know... you help a lot of people on here and I am sure you would have many people help you out with a letter, email, call to our congressman....You get the picture... Thanks for all your help on this forum.... It makes a HUGE difference in the Yuneec experience. Yuneec should be sending you double new replacements for all your time and help of their products....just my 2cents
That is very kind of you and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I am no expert. I'm in the same ship with everyone else on this forum. I've learned much from these pages and I enjoy sharing whatever is useful.
This post was never about getting anything from Yuneec. It's about calling attention to a problem that may have a serious impact on others. I was hopeful that Yuneec would take the issue seriously and do a bit of digging into the firmware to see if they can identify a cause. It's sad to see their indifference and playing the Blame Game. That accomplishes nothing.
I am closing this post. There is enough information here for anyone who suspects they might have an issue or if they merely want to check their controller and make certain there is no channel mixing. Thank you to all read and posted on this thread.
