Companion 2.2.1 - Creating New Model and Model Wizard

[Rick]

Yesterday, I went to create a new model using the Model Wizard. The difference here was I wanted the throttle on CH3, and not CH1 as I would normally set it up. The Wizard took what I wanted and I completed my basic model. The result was no output from the Q X7 and channel order was not what I had input and obviously none received by the receiver. I wanted CH3 for throttle as the receiver only has failsafe on CH3 so it makes sense to put the throttle there. The only fix has been to go into the Mixer and manually move channels around. Anyone else run into this?

Not me, I don't use the wizard except for quick tests.

The wizard takes the chanel order from general settings.

Thank you RCdiy. I noticed this:
"Rx Channel Order

The default channel order for new models and TRAINER screen display. The mixes for new models get set up to map the sticks to channels based on this order. This order can be changed on the MIXER screen for existing models. Changing this channel order here will not affect existing models."

That sounds to me like I could temporarily change the global channel order in the radio settings and the wizard would keep them that way and not effect previous models. Have to give that a shot.

Just an update, it appears that the Wizard wasn't changing the channel order in the Mixer when the model had already been set up using TAER. When I tested creating a new model the Wizard did place the throttle on CH3 as I wanted. I had changed the receiver out and it was different to the original the model was originally set up with. All is good.
