Looks like they've been busy... working on a bunch of stuff I could care less about. *sigh*

Can we get a skin editor that is intuitive and will actually run on my computer? I can't even open the .bmp skin files in Photoshop for some reason.

• Head-driven tail rotors now stop correctly with main rotor

Five versions and many small upgrades to achieve this... incredible!

I'm still waiting for accurate flight physics when autoing small helis.

That was just a bug in Version 5. Version 4 did not have this problem.

New quadcopter/drone GPS physics with Return Home, Smart Mode and Position Hold functions

Ok, where are these set, it seems they added some Blade 350 versions, but the only flight modes that seem to work using my DX8 transmitter are the beginner mode where movement is relative and the agility mode, the intermediate SAFE modes seem missing (AP and the 3rd one).

I found the RTH in the controller profile, but nothing obvious for adjusting flight modes.

Now to fix the update bug so I don't have to manually do it.
