New firmware !

Well, that sounds strange and depends on the reason control is lost, because when link is lost on 2.4GHz, on 5.8GHz is probably gone from longtime already.
That's one reason because video is usually on a shorter wave length: when video degrades there is still full control and it's time to come back.

Come on, this isn't a redundancy to increase your range when you fly too far out, it's a redundancy in case the 2.4g spectrum is jammed, packed with interference or just drops out

I went out and did a test flight with new update and mine flew fine however I wasn't able to test all the new features but I did notice my video link cut out a lot sooner than it has in the past and my telemetry did as well. Is anyone else experiencing shorter distances?

All should note this PDF contains Over the Air (Wi-Fi) update instructions. You may need to magnify the size.

This one prints out at a better (more readable) size!

Hmmm.... looks like it looses video faster.... allthough i had my antenna's unscrewed...

If you power up the transmitter or the H with out the antennas connected, you will burn out the transmitter modules on both.

I just took a second flight and realized my antennas were pointed incorrectly. The second flight was a lot better, whew thought it was the software.

Hmmmm ok.... have done it a dozen of times, but good to know.... better put on the antenna's then...

Too late, the damage is done.

I agree with them too.
Never power the transmitter without antennas.
You will damage the RF module as the output power basically is reflected back.

Is this a combined firmware, as no EU version

 

[RiverRunner]

Wow! lots of good stuff in this upgrade.

 

[chiloschista]

Europe version is here (at least it has the E suffix):
Firmware

But if I got it right it will be downloaded (OTA feature), so probably related to location.

Wow! lots of good stuff in this upgrade.

Yuneec is confirming by this update that the Typhoon H is really the evolutive flying platform id paid for... Cool !!!

 

[Daemon1]

I wonder why the Yuneecs install video has been removed from the thread... Not really useful, anyway...

Dual Band Control Redundancy:
When the 2.4G signal is lost, users can control the aircraft through 5.8G Wifi as redundancy

If that's the case, I'm liking that!

 

[Brian Mackey]

Great features but does this firmware will fix drifting problems that some of us experiencing. No word on that matter

I have ZERO drift at this time after update its flys very straight

 

[PatR]

I have always said that if the H does not know that it level or is not level it will drift.

Very much on the money. It also applies to aircraft that are moved just after they are powered up since that is when system accelerometers perform a self check. They do this every time they are powered up, so every time you change batteries, do not move the H after enabling the start button. If you do, anticipate you might have drift issues.

[n3srj]

Well maybe its time to finally update my firmware? Been waiting and reading the Horror stories since june!

 

[Markinter]

I'm ready to play update roulette, I skipped last update but this one added features I like so jumping in.
