iX SpektrumTM AirWareTM Change Log
2025-Apr-15
Version 2.01A.14
Corrections & Improvements
· Fixed issue where Frame and Hold telemetry settings weren’t being saved when using languages other than English
· Fixed issue where the use of Sequencers was causing the Channel Assign screen to crash
Version 2.01A.13
Corrections & Improvements
· Updated the Gear functionality in the following areas: o Removed the Gear Setup Screen. o Channel Assign screen allows editing of the Gear function’s control switch. In v2.01 this was shown as dashes, and you would need to use the Gear Setup screen to configure it. o New Acro and Sail models will automatically default the Gear channel to 5 or 13 depending upon Wing/Tail type selections. You may use the Channel Assign screen to move it elsewhere if needed. o Except Multi-Rotor, if you want to later enable Gear you may do so by assigning it on the Channel Assign screen and configuring with the switch (defaults to A) that you want to use. o Helicopter model does not create default Gear settings within a new model. You may use the Channel Assign screen to select the gear option if you want to use this feature on a channel. o Previous Helicopter models that used gear channel naming will now show as the AUX channel it was assigned to. o Multi-Rotor does not support the new Gear function. If you need a channel named Gear, you will need to use the Servo > Name function to create this on any Aux channel.
· Gauge Panel Configuration screen no longer crashes when Multi-Engine or MultiCylinder telemetry is configured.
· Analog Switch Setup screen now applies values when they are configured. · The keyboard is no longer displayed erroneously on the Combo and Logical
Switch Setup screens. · On Servo Travel screen, values stay locked after hitting Reset or Cancel. · Column alignment has been fixed on side monitors displayed on screens such as
Throttle Cut and Flap System. · System Configuration menu now requires RF off for entrance and changes.

Version 2.01.07
NOTE: This updated change log has been modified to improve clarity regarding the new Channel Assign and Gear Setup functions. Please review those sections below.
New Features
· The new “Channel Assign” screen combines the functionality of the previous Channel Assign & RX Port Assignment screens into one. Also adding frame rate/resolution information for each channel. Making this screen more intuitive and informative.
· Channel functions named Aux1, Aux2, etc. in previous versions have been renamed to Aux 5, Aux 6, etc. where the number by default matches the channel number. This improvement makes the matching of receiver ports to the Monitor screens much easier.
· Added new “Gear Setup” screen. o You can configure your retract switch, channel, and output positions using this screen. o This section does not apply to helicopters, as they do not have a default gear channel. o If you need multiple channels driving the retracts, you can now select the “Gear” function on the Channel Assign screen to assign it to the channel you desire. o Channel 5 will continue to provide default operation using Switch A in default models. o If you are using channel 5 for any auxiliary function, please review the following information: If channel 5 is driven by an analog input (slider, knob, other function) or a 3-position switch or inhibited, you do not need to do anything. The update will name this position as A5 or Aux5. Please confirm operation before flying. If you have a 2-position switch on channel 5 being used as a nongear function, you need to 1. Go to the Channel Assign screen and change the “Output” back to “Aux 5” o If you have a 2-position switch on channel 5 being used as a gear function, you need to If you have used Digital Switch Setup to change the endpoints of the switch, you will need to copy those new values to the Gear Setup screen.
