Ethos v1.5.7 and X18, X20 series User Manual
Name
Allows the flight mode to be named.
Active condition
When adding a flight mode the default active condition is inactive, i.e ‘---’. Flight modes may
be controlled by switch or button positions, function switches, logic switches, a system
event such as throttle cut or hold, or trim positions.
Note that the default flight mode does not have an ‘Active condition’ parameter, because
this is the flight mode that is always active when no other flight mode is active. The first
flight mode that has its switch ON is the active one. Note that only one flight mode is active
at a time.
The active flight mode is shown in bold.
Fade in, out
The times assigned for smooth transitions between flight modes. The example shows one
second assigned to each.
Once programed the flight mode selections are displayed in the mixes. Up to 100 flight modes
can be programmed. Like most functions in ETHOS the user can program descriptive text flight
mode names such as Cruise, Speed, Thermal or Normal, Take Off, Landing.
Please note when adding a new flight mode to a model all mixes using flight modes must be
checked for correct operation, because the new flight mode will by default be active in all
mixes using flight modes. This is an issue for example when using a Lock mix to lock a specific
channel in a specific FM.
