I would like to migrate my Chimera 7 Pro from the factory flashed and tuned BF version 4.2.11 to the latest stable BF release (BF 4.3.1 if I'm correct). This isn't rocket science for most of the settings and rates but I'm not so sure on how to approach transfering the factory tune to the new BF version.

Does anybody know how to succesfully migrate a tune to a new BF version?

you cant migrate a tune to another bf version, you need to tune it freshly.

maybe its better to stay on your tuned version, maybe there are tunes outthere for 4,3 as it is a popular pnp

I was afraid that would be the answer, well it's BF 4.2.x then as the drone flies excellent and I'm not experienced enough to replicate the tune by hand. I have yet to find a preset that works for a Chimera 7 Pro, it's all generic 7" presets.

I made some notes when going from 4.2.x to 4.3.x, you might find this helpfull:

It's based on a full rebuild with migrating settings from scratch.

Thanks, I already did the same and have a folder with screenshots of all the BF configurator screens, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to recall all the specifics of the BF 4.2.x configuration.

Fixed it! Today JB posted a review of the Chimera 7 pro V2 on his YouTube channel and mentioned a iFlight factory settings repo to be used in the presets tab of BF Configurator.
This took away my worries when pondering migrating to BF 4.3.x, I'm still unable to check if the ESC is configured for 48 kHz (for long range) as the esc-configurator website says there is an error about an incorrect number of esc channels detected. I'm on macOS and run esc-configurator in chrome, same problem persists on a Windows laptop with edge.

<edit>

ESC configuration mismatch solved, I didn't know there was a BLHeli suite available for macOS, esc's are configured for 48 Khz. Time to finalize the configuration and fly this magnificent beast later this week to iron out migration issues.

Did a 17 minute test flight yesterday including a gps rescue test and all went exceptionally well. I need to replace the elrs rx for a ep1 dual rx because I had a few RF warnings which where a result of the single antenna mounting orientation.

I can't find the presets any chance I could get the settings from you? I'm updating from 4.2 and same boat can't tune, I'm running Ghost and its not supported til 4.3
