Classic view (Monochrome / small LCD radios)

Features

• Supported receivers: FrSky (compatible) telemetry receivers (X, R9 and D series) and Crossfire receivers.
• Supported transmitters: FrSky Taranis and Horus transmitters, Jumper T12, T16, FLYSKY Nirvana NV14, Radiomaster TX16S, TX12, Zorro, Boxer (at least).
• Note other transmitters may work, but are not considered "supported".
• Launch/pilot-based model orientation and location indicators (great for lost orientation/losing sight of your model)
• Compass-based direction indicator (with magnetometer sensor on multirotor or fixed-wing with GPS)
• Pilot (glass cockpit) view which includes attitude indicator as well as pilot-familiar layout of additional data
• Radar (map) view shows model in relationship to home position, can be displayed either as launch/pilot-based or compass-based orientation
• Altitude graph view shows altitude for the last 1-6 minutes
• Colour LCD transmitters show all views at the same time, and include additional features like roll scale
• Bar gauges for Fuel (% battery mAh capacity remaining), Battery voltage, RSSI strength, Transmitter battery, GPS accuracy (HDOP), Variometer (and Altitude for X9D, X9D+ and X9E transmitters)
• Display and voice alerts for flight modes and flight mode modifiers (altitude hold, heading hold, home reset, etc.)
• Voice notifications for % battery remaining (based on current), voltage low/critical, high altitude, lost GPS, ready to arm, armed, disarmed, etc.
• GPS info: Satellites locked, GPS accuracy (HDOP), GPS altitude, GPS coordinates. Also logs the last GPS location (reviewed from the config menu)
• Display of current/maximum: Altitude, Distance, Speed and Current
• Display of current/minimum: Battery voltage, RSSI strength
• Title display of model name, flight timer, transmitter voltage and receiver voltage
• Menu configuration options can be changed from inside the script and can be unique to each model
• Speed and distance values are displayed in metric or imperial based on transmitter's telemetry settings
• Voice files, modes and config menu in English, German, French or Spanish.
• OpenTX: Playback previous flights via telemetry log files, including fast forward, rewind, and pause features
• May work with other (non-INAV) firmware; this is not a supported use case.

Requirements

Supported environments are given below, older versions may also work but are unsupported.

• INAV v6.0+ running on your flight controller.
• OpenTX v2.3.14+ running on Taranis Q X7/Q X7S, X9D/X9D+, X9E, X9 Lite, X-Lite/X-Lite Pro, Horus X10/X10S or X12S
• EdgeTX v2.8.0+ running on a supported radio.
• FrSky X, R9 or D series telemetry receiver: X4RSB, X8R, XSR, R-XSR, XSR-M, XSR-E, RX4R, RX6R, R9, R9 Slim, R9 Slim+, R9 Mini, R9 MM, D8R-II plus, D8R-XP, D4R-II, etc. or any Crossfire receiver: Micro, Nano, Diversity, ELRS etc.
• GPS - On the aircraft.

Suggested Sensors

• Altimeter/barometer (GPS altitude used if barometer not present)
• Magnetometer/compass for multi-rotor (fixed-wing craft use GPS for directional info)
• Current/amperage (for fuel gauge)

Notes

• Crossfire is not fully supported with OpenTX, due to a long-standing OpenTX issue; EdgeTX is recommended for use with Crossfire (and generally).
• Some telemetry is missing from Crossfire: HDOP, GPS altitude and some secondary flight mode notifications like heading hold
• Other Lua scripts may not run at the same time as INAV Lua Telemetry due to limited transmitter resources)
