timer countdown in THR% mode #67

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
if the timer is in “THR%” mode I would be better and easier if the timer 
runs normaly (means count down 1sec per second) in the middle of the 
stick-position and in the full power position it counts down 2sec per second. 

Most of the time of flying the stick is in the center postition (means half 
power) and then you can know the real estimated time till your battery pack is 
empty.

ok, i understand. In THR% we could show a prediction for the remaining time.
I will try an algorithm which uses the values of the past.

Thomas,

You can simply divide the time set in the setup menu by the sliding average of 
the throttle used so far. 

That is what cars do in their fuel prediction. Problem with this method, versus 
what a car does, is that we "predict" and they "measure". 

In example: I have a nitro plan, and start it. Then I taxi to the start of the 
runway, and have to wait for 1 minut (to wait for another plane to land). The 
engine is running idle. My time display will show that I have 2 hours left of 
flight. Where as I have max 15 minutes left.

I suggest to leave it as is. What would be nice though is the option to see 
after the flight how long you actually have been in the air. i.e. set the timer 
a 10 minutes, and land when it beeps, and notice you have actually flown 15 
minutes.

you can multiply the shown value manually if you know what you are doing in the 
next time.
If you fly with full-speed then the shown time is correct.
If you will fly with half speed, then you have to double the time.
That´s easy. istn´t it ? :-)
