The FPV Tracker Android application allow you to track position of your airplane on Google map. It allow also to define waypoints of route and send it to OSD+AP. Application can be downloaded from Google Play store.

More details can be found in user manual.

Our team is testing next release of firmware including some new functionality:

 - Takeoff support
- 10 Routes with 127 segments each and on screen route visualization
- Autonomous landing on selected runway based on ILS feature
- New navigation modes with “mountain mode” to avoid high obstacles
- New advanced stabilization options and course stabilization in manual flight
- RC channel monitor

More details and firmware for testing you can find in our thread on RC Groups.

I would like to present video of our friend showing how OSD+AP help to start and land in hard foggy condition in the morning:

At 16 X 2015 we will present our products in Warsaw's Institute of Aviation.

Below relation from "Night". Our showing room before opening:

The FPV System has 2 new functionality implemented in OSD to increase safety and performance of long range FPV flight.We call it wind assistant and thermal assistant. It will be available in firmware with number 2.40 and bigger.

Wind Assistant

Is used to measure wind speed and direction at current altitude, usually different then speed on ground. It not require and additional hardware, only needs to make a full circle in the air on constant throttle and constant altitude stick position. Internal algorithms calculate drift of the plane and display numeric value on the OSD screen. Wind speed and directions can be displayed on radar screen area or in the air/ground speed control. It will not display until first valid measurement will be performed.

Information about wind speed and direction can be crucial to plan and perform long range flight.

Thermal assistant

Is used to visualize position of the detected ascending and descending thermal currents. Having that points are on radar screen, it is easier to circle in the ascending currents to get the higher altitude and finally increase the distance of the flight. Position of points is all the time recalculated using data from wind assistant to follow real thermal moved by wind. If new thermal currents will be detected, the old one is cleared.

Thermal assistant can be used by any kind of plane, not only gliders.

This functionality require Autopilot module, because variometer sensor is mounted on autopilot board.

For more details about assistants please read document: Wind Assistant and Thermal Assistant in PitLab & Zbig FPV System.

We are in the final phase of testing the functionality of the FPV system allowing aided landing in low visibility conditions such as fog or night. The purpose of this function is to carry out the model at right angles both horizontally and vertically at the airport in the absence of visual contact with the ground. The elements of this functionality is to visualize the airport runway and marker analogous to the ILS system, showing the deviation from the ideal landing approach path. Both of these elements are visible in the centre of the screen in the picture below.

The whole consists of the ability to define the device to 8 airports with predefined approach angle.

FPV System with those features you can order in our FPV shop.
