Hi (and thanks in advance),
My new P3 advanced turned up yesterday and instead of doing my usual getting it out, setting it up and flying without reading any instruction, I took the time to go through every readable piece of information and watched every youtube video possible to get myself in a good position to fly.
Anyway, I followed the instuctions to the letter and loaded the 1.6.0040 firmware bin file (after unzipping) onto the SD card and continued to upgrade the P3. As far as I can tell everything went well, it made all the noises and I confirmed the upgrade by putting the SD back in the computer where it instructed me that the action was successfull.
When I tried to load the bin onto the controller by means of a memory stick, nothing happened. So, i tried another stick and still nothing. I then attached my iphone 5 and hey presto, I was notified (via wi-fi) that an update was required to which I let it carck on. Again, and as far as I know, all went well.
Now, as I don't want to get too cocky and crash on my first flight, I decided to have a go at the simulator. But, nothing seems to be working and I'm getting a message telling me that 'Reformatting is suggested' on the screen of the simulator.
As I am completely new, can you please assist me with the following:
How do I know that the firmware loaded is the same on both the P3 and the controller?
Is my P3 safe to fly?
Why am I getting the 'Reformatting' message?
Is it avisable to take the Firmware back to an earlier version, and how (if advised) would I do this?
Thankyou in advance. Hopefully when I am in a better position and have gained some experience with the P3 I will be able to assist other users.
