I have upgraded my d10A to the new version of firmware. When selecting the field elevation saving feature, the altimeter settign changes to about 24.50 and the altitude is way off. Is there something I am missing? I just tried powering down and back up again and the altitude changes about 3,000 feet. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Thanks

There's a chance you never let it actually save the old altitude since it doesn't actually save on power down, it saves on time intervals and on other events. We do this because you just kill the power to turn it off, so the processor has no time to save on power off.

In any case, try it out for a few flights and see if it works better of you. We haven't heard any reports of weird behavior like this.
