Yes, it is possible. Just change the code. That's the advantage of open source--you can do it yourself. Check out the "stabliization" section in the Amain tab.

ok will make 2 versions of code....

1. version with org. flight modes (RTL,OFF,AUTON.) and 2. version with flight modes (RTL,OFF,stabliization-flight with GPS !)

or it´s possible to add 4. flight mode ?

but i have a big problem ... ! i 100% newbie and have no idea from code (zero!) :-((


what must i changed ???

Olli,

I'm afraid the sort of changes you want to do require an ability to program. You're asking me what to change, which is asking me to do the programming for you. It's not a simple variable, but rather changing the logic of the code (and of course you'd have to do it again with each version we put out).

But if you want to start learning about the code, this is the line (in the second tab) that switches into fly-by-wire mode, so you can start tracing the logic from there:

//If valid gps data, navigate, else just stabilize...
if(gpsFix == 0x00)

But we'll think about the feature and whether it's worth adding that option in future versions of the code..

@olli - 4 flight modes is possible, but will require some significant programming with the current hardware, and maybe a few hardware tweaks too depending on exactly what you want to do.

oh i understand.... this change is to heavy for me, i think :-))
another idea is: to install between the gps and the ardu a relay.the relay sitched over other channel....




It would be great if it would be in the future that Future.the stabliization-flight is a nice future ! but it´s very
unpractical to use.
wich user flying an autopilot without GPS ??? :-))
It is a pity if we can not make use of this future.
