General Support Overview

Support-Level and Firmware/Software Overview, for all VDevices.

This table shows which devices are current, have fimware- and software-support, can be registered and updated.

Take note: legacy VBars (earlier than VBar NEO) are de facto obsolete, an receive support only in a very limited fashion, on our forums.
Software 5.3 and 4.0 can still be downloaded, but you have to install it and set it up according to the setup videos.
Registration of legacy devices of known origin is possible via registration form. Devices of unknown origin can be registered via e-mail (service (at) mikado-heli (dot) de).
In any case, you need to provide either a legible screesnshot, a PDF file with a current event log file, or a setup file, to confirm the serial no.
Messages without will be discarded without notice.
