Limitations:
Please note the following limitations. At the time of release:
- You are not (yet!) able to import or edit EdgeTX models using OpenTX Companion (but firmware flashing with OpenTX Companion is still possible). Your OpenTX models and settings will be automatically converted by EdgeTX, and changes to model and radio settings will need be done on the radio until the Companion software is updated to suit.
- Panels / widgets will not be preserved in the conversion from OTX 2.3.x => ETX 2.4.0 on colour screen radios due to incompatibility in how the settings sere stored (OTX2.3 does not include the type of the options in the binary file). This should be a one-time issue.
- Support for FlySky Nirvana NV14 is not yet available.
- Users are not able to select a theme or modify the default theme color scheme.
