Flight Controller Firmware Upgrades
To upgrade the Flight-Controller firmware, the same Vortex Configurator tool may be used.
Simply select the BetaFlight .hex file instead of the OSD .fw file when flashing. use the betaflight configurator. :
NOTE: If it failed, wait 1 seconds and retry by clicking Flash Firmware.... Sometimes it may need few
attempts before it starts flashing, so keep trying few times.If after 5 retried it's still not working, retry the
entire procedure.
NOTE: Upgrading Betaflight to a version not supported by the OSD firmware can easily result in the OSD not
functioning. Please refer to the Vortex product page on the ImmersionRC website for compatibility
information.
NOTE: When Vortex will detect a new flight-controller version, it will automatically restart in TX Wizard
mode. If not, force the TX Wizard using the Vortex app.
