Multiple battery selection for single flight

[kazager]

I wish I could select 2 batteries for a single flight. One bird is 3s and another is 6s.
Maybe a check box on the "Aircraft" setup that you would check for "2 packs".

I considered doing that but it made the interface too complicated. I got around it by creating a battery that represents a set of two.

I figured that would throw off the battery cycling information (flight hours, mah used, average % drain). It won't be easy to extrapalate the mah charge to each battery, as I'm finding they don't drain equally.
I guess I'll have to create 2 flights each time, one for each battery. It will throw off flight times, but all of the other info will be retained.

That's true. I had the same problem. Then I tried a single 6S pack and realized how much better it is. LOL

Baby Steps.
On a side note - I love this forum. I am recently returning to R/C after a 14 year "break". I used to have to do this on paper, and it was horribly time consuming.

Same here. Just got back into it last year after quitting in the early 90's

Hi, just found this from Helifreak, love the app. very simple and minimal data entry.

I would like to revive the previous request if that is possible. I fly a trex 700 electric and do mix and matching depending on which batteries are ready for flight at the field.

Anyway, hope it will be on future release. Thank you.

It would be very difficult to implement and keep the interface simple. I've been looking at it and I'm not seeing an elegant solution yet that wouldn't require a huge amount of effort.

Well, I could see how I could do it if I limit it to just two batteries per flight. It gets sticky if I try to make it more flexible, but I think I can add a second battery without too much trouble.

This is done. I'm not completely happy with the necessary interfaces changes, but I think once people get used to them they won't notice them.
