Just some initial feedback on BlueOS 1.1.0 upgrade. Install went super smooth using Chrome on Win10 from a BlueOS 1.0 install - although didn’t exit cleanly when it was done (think I had to hit esc or something to disappear the spinning logo).
Home screen is amazing - intuitive and well designed so great to use. The new vehicle configuration setup particularly groovy as is the addition of 3rd party apps. Cerulean’s SonarView worked perfectly out of the box for both Ping1D and OmniScan 450FS.
The Cockpit App is a real game changer with a really nice heads up display and ability to display and record the main telemetry options in a HUD style. Haven’t tried the other apps yet but looking forward to using Cockpit in the water as seems to work great in this release.
Minor issues I had but not sure they are specific to my setup (Standard R4 Heavy Configuration, Navigator, Gripper, Ping1D, Omniscan 450FS, Win10/Chrome).
- The map/gps widgit arms and runs thrusters at full speed without warning if you click on the little play button to see what it does (yikes!!!).
- Couldn’t readily workout how to use the video player option although this is a very useful addition.
- Couldn’t see how to view/edit the shift functions on my controller (cheap xbox clone).
- The camera trigger button option didn’t seem to work (although a truly awesome addition assuming it is meant to toggle video record?).
- The full screen menu option in Cockpit/Chrome seems to no longer work once you use the F11 key?
- The full screen option in SonarView didn’t work at all and didn’t seem to have the ability to run two apps (except in one is Cockpit) or two instances at once (eg. SonarView with Omniscan and also with Ping1D)?
