Changing flight mode terms

Blue Robotics Software Cockpit

Is there a way to change the flight mode terms in Cockpit?

We have “Alt_Hold” which is actually depth hold.

We have “Surftrack” which is actually altitude hold.

I appreciate that these terms likely originate from Ardupilot with drones, where they make sense, but for the ROVs, the world is inverted for these terms, and it confuses everyone I teach to use the ROVs.

Hi @3dMB,

That functionality is not yet implemented, but we agree it’s a good idea, and there’s an open issue for discussing/tracking it :slight_smile:

We will put some work on that. Should be fairly straighforward.

@3dMB I’ve opened a PR implementing human-readable defaults and allowing customization.

It should be merged in beta 10 or 11.

@3dMB the feature is now available in 1.19.0-beta10 :smiley:

To edit the names, just right click the mode-selector widget and click options.
