DX18 Icons

Update!

With the release of firmware 1.03 icons are now selectable in the menu system. there is no longer a need to manually edit the .spm files! 3 Cheers!!

S ince the DX18 and  the DX9 support importing files from the DX18QQ with all features, it is also possible to have all the other model avatars available on the DX18QQ.

All you have to do is add a line in the model file (.SPM) with a plain text editor (if you are using Windows, use Wordpad, not Notepad).



The model file looks like this:

 Generator="DX18" VCode=" 1.04D" ; Originator="......." PosIndex= 5 Type=Heli curveIndex= 7 enabXPLUS=Disabled Name="TREX 800"

</Spektrum> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">.....

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">You simply have to add one line:

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;"><Spektrum> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">Generator="DX18" <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">VCode=" 1.04D" <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">; Originator="......." <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">PosIndex= 5 <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">Type=Heli <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">curveIndex= 7 <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">enabXPLUS=Disabled modelImage= 1 <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">Name="Agusta A109" <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;"></Spektrum> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">..... <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">There are currently 9 different acro avatars, 5 helis, 6 different sailplanes. The first image (0) is the default image, no need to change the file. All the other images require editing. Just add the number of the desired picture (I have named the files Acro0-Acro8, Heli0-Heli4, Sail0-Sail5). Of course you cannot have an acro pictu

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">re for a heli, but Acro8 is a Quad, and Sail5 is an acro.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">When you import the SPM file back, make sure you rebind the model (rebinding is always necessary after an import)

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">So have fun pimping your DX9 !

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;">And just a downside: If you export the model again, the changes are lost. You have to insert it again. This happens possibly with all modifications for features that are not available to the radio
