GPS (Come Home) Capability in RF 6.5?
A few weeks ago I posted a question to see if RF 6.5 had a bail-out feature similar to Bavarian Demon, Skookum, and other highly capable gyros. The question was quickly answered and a flurry of 6.5 helis with bail-out capabilities suddenly started to appear on the KnifeEdge Swap pages!
So, how about the GPS feature, where with a flick of a switch, the heli will "return home' to a stable hover with the tail pointed in? Is such a capability possible? Sometimes, the heli gets a bit too far away and I can't tell orientation... sometimes I can get it to come back, sometimes, I wind up flying it even farther away into oblivion.

If you fly in a 3D field, hit F3, you'll get a chase view.
I think there's a map function in RF7 too, but honestly I've not tried it out yet.

Just press the reset button.

In RF 6.5, there is no virtual GPS component. (AFS was used for rescue, but it does not know where the vehicle is in space, just it's attitude).
Don't know about RF7 (if they added any more components). I have RF7 upgrade ordered, but will be 2 weeks (or more) before I receive it. I cannot find any information on how to add electrical components.

When you spool up, rise slightly into a stable hover, tail in...and press the "p" key This tells RF to reset to the exact position and headspeed, so every time you press the red button you've got instantaneous RTH |

Return home is only one GPS function. How about hold stable hover here or return and land or fly through pre-programmed way points.

I don't know if you can remap the keyboard but I possibly wouldn't be surprised. Also, it's been a while since I looked at win32 coding, but if the menus and UI elements are stored as a separate UI 'resource' (to borrow the term I first saw on macs), they may be editable. So maybe the keyboard short cuts too. Ultimately, I mean, how far away is one going to need to fly? Just up and down the field right? No point flying BVR, that said, I've never explored the 3D fields, anything interesting out and beyond?
