One unique feature of version 6.08 is the pre-fligth checklist.

It is inspired from the B-777 Electronic Check List ( ECL ) in a sense that a certain number of items you create have the ability of self-populate.

For example, if you set in the Pre-flight check list a condition for which the engine switch has to be on "cutout" position, the item will automatically go "green" when the engine switch is put on "cutout".
Item that are not sensed by the radio, typically like open questions ( for example "fuel tanks full" ) will have to be manually ticked.

Another nice feature is the pilot/ operator menu where a second BAT 60 can be connected to the pilot's BAT 60 to control other features. That could be for some very complex scale functions or more realistically to control a gimbals system for a camera operator.

Also, the telemetry pages are now HTML based, which means that they are virtually 100% customizable to your requirements. Colors can be added, and any type of custom sensor like very specific dosimeter readouts for nuclear powerplant inspection, Xray sensor and so on. These examples are again more for the professional World but give an idea of what can be done on the model side. Also our ASSI module will be compatible very soon.

The other great feature is that this version transforms all the receivers in the line into serial bus receivers.
All receivers can get SRXL serial protocol output out of servo plug 1, for up to 16 channels. This means that the Gizmo can now drive up to 45 servos! 29 in analog mode and 16 in serial mode.

More practically, this also means that two 0.5 oz Smart 8 receivers can be used to control a complex scale model like the Mibo A-10 with two serial loops, one for each wing ( up to 7 servo s connected to 3 wires ), two built-in gyros ( feature to come ), and quadruple RF link redundancy, for a weight saving of 2 lbs ( combined loom and receiver weight saving ).

Haptic feedback through the two optional vibration motors has been extended to trim behaviors as well.
