Important changes

Esri World Imagery

• Bing Maps is out of service. INAV Mission Control now uses Esri World Imagery. With the benefit of not requiring an API key.

OSD changes

• Rename Vario to Vertical Speed Indicator in the OSD tab.
• ADSB improved aircraft warning.
• Extra flexibility surrounding fixedwing minimum ground speed. Wind speed and Direction flight parameters have also been added to the programming Framework. #2382
• A vertical throttle indicator can now be selected on the OSD for faster reference than the numerical percentage indicator #2354

SmartPort telemetry options

This allows pilots to quickly set the telemetry sensors used by both the OpenTX telemetry widget and ETHOS telemetry dashboard. #2416

Language support

The INAV Configurator now supports Ukrainian.

Programming Framework with Javascript syntax

Use Javascript to program custom actions on your craft

Programming Framework (IPF)

The Active column in the programming framework as been moved in front of the operand conditions. This order is easier to follow, thinking of the Active in terms of an IF statement. It might not matter to non-programmers. But is more intuitive for programmers.

Various bug fixes

• Mission control WP land fix. #2371
• Servo mixer speed value overflow. #2326
• Fixedwing Level pitch trim accuracy fix. #2421
• Various configurator ESM updates and fixes.

Important notes

• Always read README.md
• Always read the full firmware release notes
