Help, Need Help! Which Firmware For Turnigy 9XR

[genesc]

I am trying to set up a new 450 clone. Using a KK2 board. I have one clone setup already and flying with my Taranis 9x. No issues setting that radio up with DR/Expos.

This Turnigy 9xr is giving me fits.. Could use a little nudge here. It seems that there are two versions of firmware. The eepeinstall.exe and the Open TX Companion. When I flash
with the Open TX companion the menu screens 1-11 are not right according to all the how to flash a Turnigy 9xr video's. The er9x flash's
and the screens are just like all the video's.
Initially I tried to use the Companion software and tried to set up the DR/Expos but when I tried to fly the quad it was so sensitive that
there was no way I could even hover it. Sticks were literally out of sight sensitive. I had set the P-Gains to 45 and I-Gains to 25 on the KK 2 board.
I guess what I really need to know is which one of the firmware's is the right one?...:
Thank You

I just updated my Taranis to opentx v2.05. I think there is a version for the 9xr, I have not had much of a chance to have a look at it but it should be good.

Yes there is Pete. I finally figured things out. It seems the v2.05 works much better on the Turnigy 9xr. You have to go in and change your channel settings to match your receiver after you flash it. I managed to get my DR/Expos working perfect for this clone 450 build with the Kk 2 board. I am learning that each build you have to tweak things a bit different and the learning curve for the TX's seems to be my biggest challenge. They do not use the same names to describe features. It would make it so much easier if they would all use the same naming process for all the settings...

It did take me most of the day to get it to hover without much stick work.

Here are 3 links for those that may need some visual help and explanation on the Turnigy 9XR. I could really relate to these video's
