Airforce,

I just got mine 2 weeks ago from Dreamworks and I did have to do the update. I had very slight jitters.

Just a heads up on installing the firmware. It is very easy to do. Only thing I got stuck on was I had the plug from the computer into the gyro backwards. The is a small white line on one of the wires that plugs into the gyro in the same slot that you use the set up plug in.

If the first time you try install the update and you get a message saying waiting on the unit to power up and you have it powered up and it just sits there and doesn't look like it doing anything then that is what is wrong. I flip mine over and it updated in seconds.
