Betaflight is changing in front of our eyes. There is a lot of pressure to extend Betaflight’s GPS and navigation capabilities as well as make it more usable on fixed wing aircrafts. For now, the only GPS trick Betaflight can do is return to home aka GPS Rescue. And airplane support is extremely limited. Only basic stabilization works and even this is limited and not really up to the requirements.
But it’s changing and in a few years Betaflight might want to compete with Ardupilot and INAV. For now, the feature gap is just too big

I don't know. Ardupilot, Betaflight and INav are made for completely different scope. Why Betaflight would want to compete with INav, if INav is already doing a great job on their scope? Or vice-versa. That's just my opinion, but I think that would be a waste of time and resources from the developers.

@prodtz 4 месяца назад

i second that. betaflight should stick to acro flying. advanced users have inav, and for the bigger uav stuff we have ardupilot.

@Invid72 4 месяца назад

Agreed. All I want out of Betaflight is rock solid GPS Rescue alongside excellent manual mode support. I'm not interested in autonomous flight modes at all and it doesn't make sense for Betaflight to duplicate iNav functionality since if you want that you can run iNav already. When I get around to FPV fixed wing I'll be all over iNav though.

Don’t think it’s a bad thing, although the 3 softwares have a different scope cross-pollination will provoke interesting outcomes.

@pfeerick 3 месяца назад

It's a good idea IMO... entry level support in BF. If you want more, switch it INav. If you want more, switch to Ardupilot. Etc, etc.

Interesting. Let's see what happens with Betaflight. 😊 Thanks, Pawel! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

We shall see

Will it be one day Betaflight has the position Hold like Adru and Inav….????

I'm pretty sharp with betaflight, but it's shortcomings with gps, has brought me over to inav. I'm learning so much.

Making a software compareable to DJI would really make the hobby explode with unskilled people being able!

@FPVBites 3 месяца назад

You have INAV.

@Simofly 3 месяца назад

I don’t see the sense for BF of going to airplanes , unless for warfare business and I don’t like that . For quadcopters I think INAV should enhance and invest time on pid tuning easier setup ( eztune it’s too much ezy with the filters / antigravity/etc that are untunable it’s unusable ) and blackbox debugging, as of now it’s so much behind BF on this aspects , and on acro more aggressive flying is behind too. Another aspect is that my feeling on INAV community is that quadcopters are seen as an inconvenient guest , as INAV is mainly a plane community . My2cents IMHO of course Simone

@alexcook4851 4 месяца назад

This is about beta flight, but I think serious thought should be given to what’s next for iNav too. Next generational leap could be a commodity hardware/software platform for vision and other machine learning tasks such as obstacle avoidance.

Im trying to build a fixed wing drone from scratch, (3d printed body, wired up parts) would i be best off using betaflight or another software?

@frankyfrench5279 4 месяца назад

merge the both projects :) take all the good things from both sides.

@FPVBites 3 месяца назад

nope, for many reasons this will not happen

Please Pawel. Can we have an update on your house in the next live stream? I hope you aren't getting as much wet weather as they are in the Netherlands now or you'll get nothing done. Cheers.

@LochnessFPV 3 месяца назад

are you compelled or worried by this...i got mixed messages

@FPVBites 3 месяца назад

worried about what? I'm not sure I'm following

@LochnessFPV 3 месяца назад

@@FPVBites that BTFL takes over the functions of iNav, slowing down the devs interest in progressing iNav development

@FPVBites 3 месяца назад

I'm not sure you realize, there is no overlap between INAV and BF developers. And INAV is so far ahead of BF in term of airplanes and navigation that it will be years before BF catches up. So no, I'm not worried about anything
