Betaflight 4.3.0 Release Candidate 7 Now Available
#46
(02-Feb-2022, 11:29 AM)SnowLeopardFPV Wrote: Following on from post #43, the Betaflight devs have now published the complete list of fixes for the Betaflight 4.3.0 RC3 release and the fixes for the disarm / failsafe bug have actually made it into the RC3 release.

The first post in this thread has now been updated to include the list of fixes for the RC3 release of both the firmware and the configurator.

Did not expect that! I am glad they took it seriously and fixed it asap.
I will wait a while still, as changing/fixing code can make other things break sometimes so i dont want to assume its all good now.

I guess we just need to wait to see what issues get reported from the RC3 release. My inbox gets filled with GitHub notifications every day which I trawl through and try to figure out which ones look serious and which ones look to be just minor annoyances.

Same here, 
new Apex 5 build with Hglrc F722, Crossfire nano rx, BF CR3.
After first flight on landing, warning message !FS! on mode tab and disarm in flight.
Second flight in air same message with disarm and crash.
Luckily only a dirty quad…

@martish & @Omega1978 - Can you both please raise this as a new issue on GitHub at the link below because I don't already see any other reported issues for the same problem and the Betaflight devs need to be made aware of the issue so it can be looked into and fixed before a final Betaflight 4.3 release is published.

Ouch, did not think that kind of serious bugs would be present in RC3. Thought they fixed those issues, guess not. Sad
All my quads have BF 4.2.11 and i suspect they will have it installed for a long time still.

For anyone else who is interested in following the failsafe/disarm problem in Betaflight 4.3 RC3, a link to your GitHub issue is below...

https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/issues/11396

Just one question that probably needs to be asked. Was the same quad flying fine without that same issue on Betafight 4.2.x?

I installed BF 4.3 CR3 immediately on the new Apex 5.
Have now downgrade to 4.2.11 and afternoon I will test fly it.
I report then...

just made 2 flights with BF 4.2.11 without problems / failsafe

i think BF 4.3 CR3 is not stable yet at least for some flight controllers

Thanks for reporting back. I would also make a point of adding to your GitHub issue thread that you've already flashed back to 4.2.11 and done some test flights without experiencing the same problem so that the Betaflight devs know you've already tried that so that potential issues with any of the other hardware (like the receiver) on your quad can be immediately ruled out.

I'm still seeing some concerning bugs being raised even in the RC3 release and I can't see us getting a final release of Betaflight 4.3 any time soon TBH.

I honestly think that too many changes have been put into the Betaflight 4.3 version which has introduced more risk than was necessary and seems to have broken quite a few things that were working fine in previous versions. Smaller more frequent incremental releases each with less changes in would have been a better option and less risky IMO instead of a 18+ month development period (since the Betaflight 4.2 release) and then a behemoth set of changes being unleashed along with a ton of related bugs.

The underlying scheduler issues seem much more serious than they first appeared, and it will likely require a fairly significant rethink to address it. Hopefully they can rollback to the 4.2 scheduler and get the rest of the new features out, as releasing 4.3 as-is with the scheduler issues and critical disarm bug is a disaster waiting to happen.

I agree with snow I will also wait until it's written in stone it's hard to be pateint because those new features and all sure sound good but it's not work losing a $500 dollar quad so heres to the beta testers lol

Today one of the ExpressLRS devs acknowledged the known issues with Betaflight 4.3 and highlighted the risks of running it.

It is now five weeks since RC3 was published and there is still no sign or word of an RC4.

Joshua just did a video for pid tuning 4.3 and I’m still anxious to try it. Is it safe yet or not ?
